I hope you enjoy this little teaser!
"It's
so beautiful," I said. "How can you not like it?"
"Because it's cold?"
"Grinch."
"It's nearly spring, Ari,"
he pointed out. "The Grinch stole Christmas."
"Same thing," I said,
watching as flakes drifted toward the ground.
"You're really loving this,
aren't you?" Dace asked.
I nodded. "Everything is so
soft and quiet when it snows. It doesn't even matter if it is freezing
cold."
"Unless you're a wolf.”
"Oh!" I whipped my head in
his direction "They're okay, aren't they?"
"They're fine," he promised,
squeezing my waist lightly.
"You're sure?" I frowned,
biting at my bottom lip. "Can we let them in the house if they're
cold?"
“No.”
“Why not?”
"We are not letting ten fully
grown wolves into the house just because it snowed. Besides which, they
wouldn't come in anyway. They're wild for a reason, love."
"Fuki isn't fully grown,"
I reminded him, but didn't argue further. He was right. Fuki might have come inside,
but I couldn't see the others stepping foot inside the door. Not even Buka, and
she was nearly as curious as her half-grown cub.
"Regardless," Dace said, his tone final,
"they're fine. Not cold."
A great excerpt. My interest is officially piqued. :D
