His body seemed to have relaxed, and his wolf's presence wasn't as potent. His gaze softened when he looked at my face, and before I knew it, his lips were crashing into mine. He was tasting what belonged to him, taking what he needed from me. I let out a guttural moan as his tongue slipped into my mouth and explored me eagerly. I felt his teeth grazing against my bottom lip, drawing it into his mouth and making it swollen and red.

When he finally pulled back, we were both breathless and panting, needing so much more from one another.

"If I knew you were my second chance mate, I would have killed him a long time ago,” he said, his lips hovering inches above mine. "I would never let anyone hurt you. There would be a path of bodies behind me from anyone who had ever wronged you."

I couldn't help but laugh; he looked so serious, and his expression was earnest.

"Your own daughter wronged me at one point," I reminded him. "I wouldn't expect you to hurt her over it."

His expression changed for a moment as he thought about how Irene had wronged me. She tried to get rid of me when she thought I wanted Ethan for myself. She had no idea that I had feelings for her father; she thought I was still pining over my ex. She did a lot of shitty things to make sure I left their lives, but her attempts were futile. I'm not so easy to get rid of.

Thankfully, Irene and I are okay now, though I can't say I trust her fully. I can't blame Matt for not trusting her fully either; she did come close to killing him. I know she wasn't aiming to kill him, but she almost did, and that's something that Matt will have trouble fully forgiving.
