Nefretiri
The woman cooed over Penelope as I stared at the guy before me.
There was something about him. I can't explain it, but I feel safe around him. He gives off strength that goes beyond being the Alpha of his pack. It's quiet and echoes in my bones. It's like he's telling me he'll keep us safe and everything will be fine because he'll make it okay. I want to fall to my knees and thank the universe for this feeling.
He is singular in the world, and I don't know how else to look at it, but it's making me want to run away from him and into his arms simultaneously.
'What do you want for yourself?' the usual voice that forces me to stay with Ricky isn't acting like it usually does. I know that's my own head talking to me, but oddly, the questions are different. Does that mean I'm not as scared as I was this morning? How strange.
