“Yes, Little One?”

“Will I ever walk again?”

She walked the little ways to him from the group, but that wasn’t anything. She wanted to stretch her legs and run free.

“You will, but right now you don’t know the town and Daddy doesn’t want you to get lost.”

“But I can hold your hand while we walk.”

“Daddy is going to hold you the first couple of weeks. I am going to make sure you don’t get into any trouble or don’t get lost. Holding you in my arms is the best way for that.”

Pouting, she put her head on his chest. Revna had a feeling she wasn’t going to walk ever again. If he wanted to hold her for the first couple of weeks, he was going to get used to it and then demand she be in his arms always. It wasn’t a bad thing if she was tired, hurt, or nervous about something. But she wasn't always going to be like that.

“Such a good girl,” he whispered in her ear.

“When are you going to mark me?” she blurted.

It had been on her mind since the other Littles talked about it. Was he going to wait until she got more comfortable or was he going to do it any second now?

Deep down Revna wanted him to do it right now. She felt the pull through the mate bond and she ached to feel it more. Would it get stronger whenever he marked her? Would she be able to do it back to him?

Daddy traced a spot on her neck, making her shiver. “Do you want me to mark you?”

She shrugged. She didn’t fully know what it was. Tina had mentioned it was just like marriage, binding them together forever. Did she want that? Daddy talked about there not being away out of the town. That once a person was in there, they were in there forever.

Should she just bite the bullet and pretend like she wanted to be here until she actually did? Or should she fight with everything until she finally gave in?

“If Daddy marks you, you’re mine forever,” he gently said. “You’re mine forever if I don’t mark you.”

“So I’m yours forever either way?”

“And I’m yours forever. It’s not just a one way road.”

“Do werewolves get more than one mate?”

Revna needed to ask. She didn’t know anything about werewolves and how they worked. What if he got another mate at some point? Would she be left to defend for herself?

“Some people get two mates, but they normally come at the same time. But you are it for me. I am not sharing you and you aren’t sharing me.”

Her shoulders slumped at the news. She didn’t want to share whoever she was with. She had seen other people do it, but for her, she didn’t want to.

“You don’t have to worry, Little one.”

She was thankful for that. She was already worried about a new town and people, getting thrown into something she wasn't prepared for.

“I’ll never be able to leave?” she whispered, hoping for just one second he would say she could.

“No, Little one. Once you are in the town, you don’t leave. I know it might be hard to see right now, but you are meant to be here. You’re going to be so happy to be here.”

“What if I need something that you don’t have here?”

“Like what?”

Her mind went blank as she tried to think about things. Revna didn’t know what they had or didn’t have here.

“You’ll have everything you need here. It’s a town full of magic.”

She still couldn’t wrap her mind around that. How was it possible for it to be a magical town?
