Kindle Notes & Highlights
Matehood would be different. If he recognized a mate, they’d be bound together for life. He could be as possessive as he wanted since everyone would chalk it up to his mating instinct.
“They’re…” His voice died out, and he let out a long breath before continuing. “They make you feel less out of reach. By being surrounded by your things, I can imagine I’m surrounded by you.”
Somehow, he knew Meg was there. His chest expanded with his deep inhale. A piece of him existed, miraculously, outside of his body, and he could sense exactly where she was. The mating instinct was becoming easier to recognize, but it was no less incredible.
“Just walk in misery with me. It helps.”
“I feel changed by you.” His eyes danced over her expression, his breaths coming in deep and even. “You have a piece of me I can never get back. You own it. And all I want is to have a piece of you in return. But I can’t decipher you.”
Then she’d thought about Maxu, and an answer had come to her. A real answer. “I want someone who I can grow with. Someone who makes me better.” “I don’t know how you’re doing it, but I think you’re making me better.”
“Seeing the world through your eyes makes it brighter than it used to be. I’ve been avoiding you because…I’m not capable of doing the same.”
Even in dark times, like these, I still see beauty in places it never used to be. That’s because of you.” He swept her hair behind her ear. “I’m using you, love. Using you for your light and your morality.” His hand skimmed down her bare back. He palmed her ass and sent her a wolfish grin. “I’m using you for your body.” His touch softened. “And your warmth, your smiles, your tears, your mouth.” He added with a soft kiss, “It’s only fair I make up for all my greediness by devoting my life to you. You don’t just make me happy, Meg, you make me alive.”
