The corner of Voren's lips twitched as he helped her out of the private jet, his hand steady on her arm, the warmth of his touch familiar and grounding. "Babe, did you forget about the bond? I felt every bit of your anxiety and knew you'd need a few days here. I just wasn't sure exactly where," he said, and Seraphine's heart swelled so full it almost hurt, overflowing with fresh gratitude for the mate bond.
That deep connection that bound them together, that let him feel her joys and her fears without a single word spoken, that made him know her even in the quietest moments.
"You've not only given me so much joy, you've brought the mate bond back to life between us. You're amazing, and the fact that you're mine makes me the luckiest living she wolf alive."
Seraphine spoke the words with raw honesty, her voice thick and shaking with feeling. Voren felt flattered, a rare flush climbing up the side of his neck.
