“Mate.”
The word echoed through the Great Hall, causing several wolves to turn towards us. The mate bond hits me all at once. It feels like stepping into the sunlight, and with the warmth flooding my chest, I forget there was ever cold. My heart swelled until it hurt and for a moment I couldn’t breathe.
Dylan moved through the crowd without a hint of hesitation.
No conflicting emotions. Just him, walking towards me with evident longing in his eyes.
He put his hands out, his hands reaching for mine. His fingers closed around mine and warmth rushed through the mate bond, wrapping round my heart like sunlight after winter.
A smile broke across my face before I could stop it and Dylan smiled back.
It feels like it’s all going to c***k me open, but I don’t care. I don’t care about any
