Mate happy.

Stay.

I tighten my hands on the wheel.

Easy for you to say.

You aren't trying to figure out how to explain that we're driving onto land protected by Black Bear Shifters.

The reminder settles heavily in my chest.

I can't keep putting it off.

Every hour I spend with her makes the lie bigger.

She deserves the truth.

The whole truth.

About me.

About Barvale.

About the bite.

About us.

Every mile we drive without telling her feels like borrowed time.

I glance over again.

She's resting one elbow against the open window now, humming softly to whatever song is playing through the speakers.

Completely relaxed.

Completely trusting me.

And the guilt twists even deeper.

She trusts me.

And I'm keeping the biggest secret of my life from her.

Tell her.

Soon.

Before someone else does.

Before fate decides for you.

I exhale slowly.

“I've got to tell you something...”

The words almost leave my mouth.

Almost.
