Chapter 81

• Jasper
• Words could not express the joy and satisfaction I felt to have April in my arms while our pack cheered and howled into the night sky. Her kiss had surprised me, but I leaned into it, knowing that the pack was taken care of. Her lips were soft beneath mine, but her grip on my shoulders was firm. I felt desired and worthy for the first time in my life. Where once I would have felt embarrassment at the public display of affection, I now felt pride and satisfaction.
• In this moment, I was more complete than I had ever dreamed would be possible.
