Page 44 of Colt's Salvation

With a sparkle of mischief in his eyes, Colt kissed him. “Do I look like a baby to you?”

“Hell no, now stop torturing me. You’re stalling just to build anticipation,” Milo whined. “I already love you with all my heart. Now I want to get to know my wolf.”

“Just stick close to my side in case we have another run-in with Yogi Bear,” he said. “And remember—”

“Don’t run,” Milo groaned. “That will only incite the bear to chase me. You’ve said that to me a million times since you told me two hours ago that we were coming out here.”

Colt shifted so fast that Milo yelped. How in the hell did he do that? In front of Milo, a stunning wolf stood with a regal posture, its thick fur rippling in the gentle breeze. Milo’s eyes widened in awe as he took in the creature’s powerful presence. The wolf’s green gaze seemed to penetrate down to Milo’s very soul, leaving him momentarily speechless and mesmerized by its wild beauty.

Then he squealed and threw his arms around the massive beast, burying his face in its fur. Colt’s wolf form was a sight to behold. Milo couldn’t believe that this creature was his mate, the other half of his soul. He tightened his hold around the wolf’s neck, feeling its warmth and strength against him.

In response, it nudged its muzzle against Milo’s cheek, leaving a trail of wet kisses along his skin. Milo giggled with pure joy, pulling back to peer into its eyes. The wolf’s gaze softened, and Milo could feel the love and devotion radiating off of the animal.

Off of Colt. Milo could sense the deep connection between them, the bond that went beyond words. “You’re everything I dreamed of! Now let’s take our walk. This is a night I’ll never forget.”

Since he was a little boy, Milo had felt a connection to wolves. He just had no idea that one day his heart would be stolen by one. A wolf who would finally make Milo feel whole again.
