"We'll figure it out," Niks said softly, her free hand trailing slowly up and down Evan's arm. She just wanted to touch him at that moment. Mentioning Simon though...
"He will be unpredictable. He may act out at times, and we cannot stop him from doing that. But, he has to accept that you are someone I care for deeply. Someone I want in my life, someone I hope to be very close to." She wanted to tell him she loved him. She wanted to say that she loved Simon as well. She stopped before all that. Wolves were different creatures, weren't they? They mated for life, but Evan wasn't just a wolf. He was a man and wolf.
"Let's not think about him right now. Let's talk about anything else." She sat up and smiled a little.
