Excerpt: Untouched

"I've always wanted to change for the better...." I said slowly, avoiding his piercing gaze. "...And I knew there is always something out there that I never knew existed but never could see."

I looked at him anxiously as he gave me a small, assuring smile.

"What are you trying to say...?" He asks, gazing into my eyes as if he was trying to put me in a trance.

"That maybe these chances are set in stone for us to make that change..." I honestly didn't know what the hell I was saying but I was going with the flow.

"You mean...?" He sits up from under the willow tree and looked at me seriously "You want to...?"

I looked at Caleb for the last time as the man that helped me through so many changes in my life. In only three months, he helped me establish my life that my parents never could give me. He became the pillar that supported me in ways that none of my friends could ever be. And as hard as I try to push away the fact that becoming his "mate" could be a serious offense to both his pack and those in their district, I knew that life had to give me this choice for a reason. It took everything away from me but him, and now that's all I have.

I buried my face into his chest and held him tightly, trying my hardest not to be the emotional wreck I once was. No longer was I hugging the man of my dreams, but a werewolf that is in the same exact position that I'm in.
