note pad while she signaled like she was drinking from a glass.
Keil turned to read her message as she went to the water bucket.
All my life I’ve been different. But it’s been bad different. It’s hard to share with new people. My only friends my brother and old family friends.
But you accept me right away. You trust me right away.
Your brother is an idiot right away! You’re real with me.
All that makes me very happy.
Keil lifted his head to see Robyn watching him with her big brown eyes, a soft smile on her lips.
“You have been different, but it’s not because you’re deaf. It’s because you were supposed to be a wolf. You were supposed to be around your pack who
would love you and support you. That’s what’s been missing.” He took the glass she held out to him and placed it to the side with care before pul ing her
back into his arms.
“I won’t rush you, and you probably stil have a ton of questions but, Robyn, you need to know that I’l do anything for you. The connection between us is
growing stronger, and I’m glad that I’ve found you.” He leaned down and kissed her.
Soft. Gentle. A kiss of exquisite tenderness. He put his heart into the motion, trying to tel her without words that she didn’t have to worry about him and that
al the concerns of the day would work out fine in the end.
“How can I feel this connected with someone I just met?”
Keil froze.
He’d heard her voice in his mind.
Pul ing back from her he stared into her eyes. He thought it would happen, but not already. They weren’t even mates yet. She hadn’t had her wolf triggered.
It was impossible.
“How did you do that?” Keil asked.
Her face grew puzzled and Keil tried to paste on a smile. It must have not worked because Robyn pul ed away.
“Wait, try something for me. Tel me your favorite colour.”
After giving him the “are you insane” look she did oh-so-wel , she reached for the notepad.
“No writing. Try and tel me in my head.”
Robyn stared at him. “He’s doing the crazynut thing again. I don’t have a favorite colour to tell him.”
“Everyone has a favorite colour, Robyn.”
Al the colour drained from her face. “Did you hear me?”
Keil stroked her cheek and attempted to speak to her mind. “Yup, it goes well with the ‘crazynut thing’ that I do.”
Robyn scrambled backward off his lap, ending up in a pile on the floor.
“Holy shit! You can hear me. I can hear you! How is this possible, Keil?” She pul ed herself up to her knees and hugged his legs tightly. Then she
dragged herself upright until they were eye-to-eye. “Say something else to me.”
“You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
She blew a raspberry at him. “Say something intelligent.”
Instead he dove at her mouth, trailing kisses over her lips and flowing down the edge of her neck to bury his face in the V of her shoulder. “You’re beautiful
and you smell like a spring meadow. Your skin feels fresh and clean like the wind blowing over the glacier. You taste like a fresh-caught fish with a
good glass of wine.”
“You poet, you. You’re making me hungry.”
Keil lifted his head and stared into her eyes. “You make me hungry too, and I’m planning on doing something about it. I wanted to wait but…”
Her fingers laced into the hair at the back of his neck. “This is crazy. My body feels like I’m on fire. How can I hear you? You said this morning that
mates could sometimes speak like this but we’re not mates. I mean, doesn’t that require us to have sex first?”
“It usually does, Robyn. The only thing I can think of is the adrenaline rush from the avalanche triggered you and started to link us. You’re an
exceptionally strong wolf, and so am I. Not that I’m bragging or anything.”
Robyn blinked at him and he grinned back as he stood, lifted her and took a step toward the sleeping platform. He stopped and checked around the
room. Shaking his head he turned
