ristan The second my skin touches hers, everything inside me snaps into place. lectricity arcs between us, white hot and blinding. Aria’s eyes flare yellow–wolf gold, impossible, mine–and a thread of smoke–thin magic coils from her supils to mine. My heartbeat slams into rhythm with hers. One pulse. One breath. Complete. My wolf surges inside me, clawing at my ribs, howling so loud I can barely think. This is it. This is her. The other half I’ve been missing my entire life. The pull to Aria is magnetic, and I lower myself down to her, ready to finally feel her soft lips on mine. My body pulses with desire, and I need to claim this beautiful woman, right here and right now, and lose myself in her for days. she’s looking at me like she’s waiting for the bite. Good. She should let me do anything I want to her. Because she’s mine. My mate. The word sears through me, scorching and inevitable, and I’m half a breath from kissing her when- Siennan’s face flashes through my mind. No. snap back to myself, and force myself to pull back. ‘How did you do that?” I growl, satisfied when her eyes widen in surprise at the sudden shift of my energy. ‘How did I do what?” shove her wrists harder into the snow. “You know what I’m talking about.” I truly don’t.” Her voice cracks, but there’s steel underneath. “All I know is that your eyes glowed, and then there was that…. thing between us, and my skin’s on ire where you’re touching me.” She swallows, then meets my gaze head on. “I don’t know what’s happening, but I think you do. So tell me.” Every instinct I have screams at me to believe her. To pull her close and figure this out together. But I can’t. Because what she just did–camouflaging herself, bending light, whatever the hell it was–no shifter has that kind of magic. Not ever. I’m not talking about that,” I say. “I’m talking about how you were invisible.” The words sound crazy, but I can’t deny what I saw. Well, what I didn’t see. Realization flickers across her face. She knew. Or–no. She’s staring at me like a deer in headlights, like she’s afraid I’ll snap her in half if she moves. “Is that why you didn’t see me?” she whispers. Something in my chest twists. Is she scared? I want to loosen my grip. Want to pull her into my arms and tell her it’s okay, we’ll figure this out. Because she’s mine, and she came to me for help for a reason. Ours, my wolf echoes, clawing at me to let her go, to hold her, to claim her. But she’s not one of us. And I can’t forget that. You expect me to believe you don’t know what you did?” “I didn’t know,” she insists. “I swear it. I don’t even believe it myself…” “You’re lying.” Except I know she’s not. A lie that big would smell like rust and rot, and all I smell is roses and fear. Still. I don’t let go. She’s not running. Not until I have answers. I didn’t do anything,” she says, firmer now. “And if I was invisible, how did you see me well enough to tackle me?” ‘I didn’t see you. I smelled you.” I breathe in slowly, letting her scent ground me. “And you forgot to hide your shadow.” What do you mean?” You blended into the trees. Perfect camouflage.” I say slowly. “But the moon’s almost full, the tree branches are bare, and my sight in wolf form is impeccable. Your shadow was there on the snow in front of you, plain as day.” she blinks, still trying to process it all. Okay. So I was invisible. I guess I believe it, because you really didn’t see me. But how?” I don’t know,” I say. “But if you’re going to go all superhero on me, you really should have done it right.” he laughs at that, and I can’t help but smile, too. hen the pieces click together, and I can’t believe I didn’t realize it sooner. his isn’t the first time she’s done something like this. When I tackled you,” I say slowly, “you flickered back into existence.” I pause, letting the pieces click into place. “Just like when you made that rose bloom in our hand. And when you created an illusion of yourself standing next to me in the kitchen instead of Siennan.”
