Untamed Fate (Magic Side: Wolf Bound 2) - Page 136

The “at the moment” clause rekindled my nerves, and I wrapped my arms

around myself as a light mist chilled my exposed skin. At least I’d brought a

jacket. “What are we doing here?”

“This is the closest portal to the mage’s tower. Amal will meet us soon,

but I wanted to get here early so you had a chance to shift and get

accustomed to your wolf form.”

My stomach dropped. Shifting hadn’t been part of the plan. “I don’t think

I’m ready for that.”

“I’m sure your wolf is.”

Hell, yes, the wolf voice in my mind said.

I swallowed hard. “Is it necessary?”

“According to Amal, the mage’s tower is in a tiny village without car

access. We’ll need to head overland through the woods, and we’ll be faster

and stealthier if we travel as wolves. You also need to know what it feels like

to shift and how to change back. The transformation can be triggered by

anger and fear, and the worst possible outcome would be for you to shift in

the midst of danger.”

I was definitely not ready for this.

I shook my head and lightly rested my fingertips on his muscled arm,

pleading with my touch. “Jaxson, no. The first time I shifted, I passed out

from the pain, and I’ve been exhausted all day. How can I face the sorcerer

after going through that again?”

He leaned forward and whispered in my ear. “Because I’m here. I’ll guide

and help you through the pain. Most wolves wouldn’t go through their first

shift without their alpha near.”

Jaxson was so close that the scent of his body overwhelmed my senses,

and each breath I took sent liquid heat pooling in my core.

I licked my parched lips as a queasy sensation overtook my body. “So

you’re my alpha now?”

“Yes.”
