Chapter 142

• His warmth enveloped her whole. She had never in her life felt more safe or relieved from a single touch. It was like all of her fear had melted out of her the second she felt him touch her. Anna had never known what it was like to have someone to make her feel that way.
• Lucas lifted Anna into his arms and held her tighter than anyone had ever held her. His strong arms refused to let her go as her feet dangled off the ground. It was like a dream she didn’t want to wake up from. How strange that he once was the reason for all of her nightmares. Now he was the only thing she wanted to see at night when she closed her eyes.
• “I thought I lost you.” Lucas whispered against her ear. She didn’t need her wolf to tell her how she should be feeling—for once Anna allowed herself to feel everything towards him. All the relief and pain and love that tried to pull her under and drown her until she was nothing. It was all worth it to hear his voice and how much he yearned for her as much as she did for him.
