Alexander’s POV
“You look like father.”
What.
Apprehension trickled through the bond. Cassidy smelled concerned. I was particularly preoccupied with all the new and interesting smells that were more vibrant in my wolf form. Especially from the other werewolf.
I approached Colin. He let me but didn’t pet my fur like everyone at home did. I huffed and nudged his hand with my nose. The boy just moved his hand away uncertainly. I ducked my head, so his fingers brushed the patch of fur between my ears.
“Um…” he said.
My mate smiled. “He wants you to pet him.”
I smiled a big wolfy grin at Cass. He giggled.
Colin scratched at my ear and I thumped my tail. He looked pleased.
“Show me how you do that,” he pleaded.
I licked his hand and sat back on my haunches. Shifting back this quickly was a little draining, but I didn’t mind it.
