“Catch me if you can!” I mind link Wyatt, my voice a low growl that vibrates through the air.
Wyatt responds with a playful bark, his great paws pounding the ground as he accelerates. He’s fast — so much faster than I anticipated. I push myself harder, feeling the muscles in my legs tighten and stretch, my heart pounding in rhythm with our movement.
The world blurs around us — trees becoming a green haze, the sky a canopy of blue. I can feel the wind rushing past, filling my lungs with the sweet scent of freedom. This is what it means to be alive, to be wild. To be in this moment with Wyatt.
We weave through the forest, darting in and out of shadows, playfully challenging one another as we navigate the terrain. I can hear the laughter of the trees, the whispers of the leaves, urging us on. For a while, it feels like we’re the only two creatures in existence, lost in our own world.
We spendthe rest of the day exploring the area, laughing and talking, our connection growing stronger with each passingmoment. As the sun begins to set, casting a golden hue over the landscape, we find ourselves sitting on a large rock by the lake, our feet dangling above the water.
“Do you ever think about what our life will be like in a few years?” I ask, my voice soft against the backdrop of nature.
I whisper, my heart swelling with emotion. “You make me feel like anything is possible.”
Wyatt turns to me, his expression serious. “With you, I feel like I can conquer the world. My mate, my everything.”
I smile, feeling a sense of gratitude wash over me. “I feel the same way. You’ve brought so much happiness into my life in such a short amount of time.”
As the last of the sunlight dips below the horizon, we sit in comfortable silence, our hearts intertwining as we watch the stars begin to twinkle overhead. In this moment, I know we are exactly where we are meant to be — together, in love, and ready to face whatever the future holds.
As we makeour way back to the house, hand in hand, I feel a sense of contentment enveloping me. This is my life now — filled with love, laughter, and a partner who sees me as I truly am. I glance up at Wyatt, catching his eye.
“Promise me something,” I say, my voice serious but filled with warmth.
“Anything,” he replies, stopping to face me.
“Promise me that we’ll always be open with each other, no matter what. That we’ll never let anything come between us.”
He nods, his expression unwavering. “I promise, baby girl. I’ll always be honest with you. You’re my mate, my forever, and nothing will change that.”
“Good,” I say, a smile breaking across my face. “Because I can’t imagine my life without you.”
As we reach the front door, he pauses, pulling me close. “And I can’t imagine mine without you. You’ve filled the empty spaces in my heart, Octavia.”
With those words, he leans down, capturing my lips in a kiss that sends sparks flying through me. It’s a promise sealed with love, a reminder that our journey has only just begun.
As the night deepens, I lean against Wyatt, feeling the warmth of his presence beside me. “What are you thinking about?” he asks, his voice low and comforting.
“Just how lucky I am,” I reply, looking up at the stars. “I never thought I’d find someone like you.”
He smiles, his gaze softening. “I feel the same way. You’ve changed my life, Octavia. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us. I hope someday we could maybe have a little version of you running around after her brother, causing trouble.”
“Me too,” I breathe, feeling the weight of his love surround me.
In that moment, I know that no matter what life throws our way, we will face it together — bound by love, trust, and the promise of forever.
As the stars twinkle above us, I realize that we are just beginning to write our story — a tale of love, adventure, and the beautiful journey ahead. And with Wyatt by my side, I know that it will be the greatest adventure of all.
As I close my eyes, nestled against him, I feel a sense of peace wash over me. This is our time, our love, and I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings. With every heartbeat, I know that we aredestined for greatness together, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

PROMISES
Octavia
The stars are twinklingand the moon is high in the sky, casting a silver hue over everything it touches as we stumble into our suite, laughter spilling from our lips like the sweet remnants of our day in the woods. The scent of nature lingers on our skin, mingling with the heady rush of adrenaline that comes from being so close to each other. Wyatt's hand finds mine, our fingers intertwining effortlessly as if they were always meant to fit together.
As the door clicks shut behind us, the world outside fades away, leaving just the two of us in this intimate space, charged with unspoken energy. I can feel my heart racing, a wild drumbeat echoing in my chest, and I glance up at Wyatt. His eyes are dark, almost stormy, filled with a hunger that makes my breath hitch in my throat.
