This is exactly where she wants to be right now, kissing him just as feverishly as that first time, but with clarity and without the background terror that he might change his mind and throw her aside. This time, he is her Pack, and she is his, and she is allowed to want him with every wild and fathomless depth in her.

She breaks the kiss just long enough to make eye contact, and it makes her smile as she kisses him again.
