The Way You Bite(78)
“No science talk tonight. You promised.”
“I did.” She beamed and kissed him again. “Thank you.”
She was his wife. His other half. In such a short few weeks, she’d become home for him. He leaned in close to her ear. “I want more children. At least one miniature version of you.”
“Kids might be a hindrance to your obsession with kitchen sex.”
“I can be creative. There are many rooms in the house.”
The song ended. Couples shuffled on and off the dance floor. They hadn’t broken apart.
TC stepped forward and bowed. “Thank you.”
She rolled out of Lexan’s arms to hug TC briefly, which was a miracle since the guy hated to be touched. “Why are you thanking me? It’s I who thanks you for saving Lexan’s stubborn butt all these years, and for sticking by him.”
“This last Stateside visit was the most challenging. He didn’t let us know anything before it happened.”
Lexan glared. “I had a purpose.”
“I’m glad you were stubborn. She was worth the stress and every moment of four assassination attempts.” TC grinned and addressed Vee again. “Thank you for standing up for me against the vampires.”
“You didn’t deserve to be in the middle of that.”
Lexan glanced around at the six other wolf guards now surrounding them, all bowing.
She said, “Thank you, all of you, for being there for him. Thank you for not condemning me for what I am. We’re going to fight together to preserve the werewolf people.”
Lexan said, “They’ve accepted you. My people must accept you or they can find themselves a new leader.”
“I understand if they don’t, but it won’t stop me from working toward a cure for the virus. I only hope we can find it before they release their weaponized version.”
He kissed her again, this time with a long lingering kiss that stole her breath. “There’s no one better for the job. I love you more than anything in this world.”

Acknowledgments
With immense gratitude to my readers who welcomed my characters into their lives and imaginations!
Thank you so very much for all the support and guidance Laura Bradford.
Tera Cuskaden, you are editor extraordinaire and I cannot express how lucky I am to have you in my corner. A huge thanks to the entire Entangled team. There are so many talented people behind the scenes who helped make this book happen.
Thank you to Nichole Severn for your friendship and support, and a general get-it-done when needed.
None of this would be possible without my husband, family and friends. We only had one Misty sock ingestion incident during the editing of this book, although this time she didn’t require surgery.
About the Author
Zoe Forward is a hopeless romantic who can’t decide between paranormal and contemporary romance. So, she writes both. In addition to being a mom to one rambunctious first grader and wife to a conservation ecologist who plans to save all the big cats on the planet, she’s a small animal veterinarian caring for all the small furries, although there is the occasional hermit crab.
When she’s not typing at her laptop, she’s tying on a karate belt for her son or cleaning up the newest pet mess from the menagerie that occupies her house. She’s madly in love with her globe-trotting husband of ten years, and happy when he returns to their home base in North Carolina.
