Chapter 26: Love Language

Kinley

Kinley looked down at her hand. She could still feel where Seth's rugged fur had touched her skin. She was in shock that she hadn't reacted differently to his altered form. A giant wolf had just stood in the middle of her Manhattan apartment minutes ago, but she felt calmer than ever.

She knew on some level that her lack of fear stemmed from her connection with Seth. It happened the minute her eyes met his in the restaurant that first night. And no matter what was going on, whenever he was near, she felt safe.

But she had so many questions now.

"Are you okay?" he asked her.

"I am better than okay. But as you can guess, I have a million questions."

"I figured as much and I want to answer them right now, but it will have to wait. There isn't a lot of time right now and I need to deal with what is about to happen. I will answer your questions as soon as I can. Just know that I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."

She knew he was telling the truth.
