Her lips parted. “You are not speaking as wolven.”
“No. But my body did not change.”
“I’m sorry.” She kissed his snout, and then smoothed the fur. “I know how much this meant to you. But if you recall what I said about being both wolf and man, I believe it still applies. You are special, my love. And I for one am very relieved that you are still wolven.”
“You are?”
“Yes.” She exhaled, and chuckled. “I found you dapper and kind as a human, and I was thrilled to marry well. As you know, so was my mother.” That got a strained chuckle out of the crowd. “But as wolven? You’re exciting. You’re unpredictable, genuine, and wild. And I’m not sure I would have ever fallen as deeply in love with you if I hadn’t been lucky enough to meet you like this. So no, I am not sorry that the spell in the book was incorrect. You were meant to be like this, Wesley, and I could not be happier to be your wife.”
The feeling that had been inside him as the moon rose? He could identify it now as pure love for this woman.
“I love you,” he said. “And I am honored to make you my Queen.”
Thank you!
I hope you had as much fun reading Wanton for the Wolven King as I had writing it!
If you’d like to read more about Wesley and Phillipa, sign up for my newsletter and receive a bonus scene featuring them in their home in Bournehurst, and meeting their new baby. Is he (or she) wolven? You’ll see some familiar faces there, too!
I have more monsters on the way! In my series The Mating Game, Lars the sasquatch is getting his own episode of the dating reality show. You can start the series with So I Married a Werewolf. And I have some wicked and wild ideas on how to incorporate more beasts into my universe!
