“Excuse me?” I said, pushing up on my elbows beneath him. “I’m not sure the word ‘fleshy’ makes the word ‘barb’ better—wait—why didn’t you warn me?”
I watched him grit his teeth. “Because it’s never happened before, and I didn’t want to scare you.”
I squinted up at him, reading between the lines. “Because you weren’t sure it was going to!” I said, hitting him on his shoulder.
He stared me down with his amazingly deep green eyes that I already knew I would never get tired of looking into. “No,” he finally confessed. “But everything in me wanted it to happen.”
And that part?
I believed.
I grinned up at him, my lips curving mischievously. “Well...now thatyou’retrapped onme,” I said, pretending to take the power back in the situation, “maybe we should talk about normal getting-to-know-you things. Like my favorite cheese is Swiss. And I really enjoy karaoke.” I fell back onto my feathers, giggling, elated.
I’d shown my feathers to a man, he hadn’t stolen them, they would always be safe soon, and somehow, even though I was pinned on Namir’s cock, I had gained my actual freedom by his side.
“Don’t laugh,” Namir warned, even though he was laughing too. “If you make me hard again, little bird, I’ll—”
“You’ll?” I taunted him, sweeping my arms up behind his head. “What? Have to fuck me again? Or be stuck with me forever?”
“Both,” he growled possessively, coming in to kiss my throat.
“Just as long as you know I’m ninety-percent sure you’re going to have to meet my parents tomorrow,” I warned him, and I could feel his smile against my skin before he answered.
“I’ll do anything, Lily, as long as I get to keep you.”

Prologue
It’s my first full moon with the pack.
My steps are light on the forest floor, the full moon shining overhead. My breaths come in short gasps, my whole body feeling like it’s on fire. My heat rolls across my skin, tugs at my breasts, pools at my core…and I feel alive, alive,alive.
My white dress drifts around my thighs, the grass soft under my feet. Here in the deepest part of the woods, I feel like I could be completely alone.
But I know he’s out there, waiting.
