Hidden Spirit

Finally, James stood up and moved closer to Morgan.


“It kind of seems that at this point, if this were a romance novel, we’d make love,” James said with a warm smile.


Morgan returned the smile. Then he said, “But if we do make love without fully embracing the terms of the prophecy, there are no do-overs.”


“Your father told me we have one chance to get the Wolf Spirit’s gifts. We have to consummate our relationship to get them, but says nothing about our feelings for one another just like the wolf serves its pack without emotional ties to it. It doesn’t require us to feel anything but desire to serve our people. But for us, it seems a relationship has to be part of the deal. We’re ready…well, I think we’re ready to take that next step and see how we feel about each other after all these years. But we’re not ready for the burden the prophecy imposes on us.”
