Author's note: This is from Zoe's point of view

It was shortly after sunset when Luca and I exited the villa and started undressing.
It was quick because I had only a bathrobe on, and Luca had shorts.
Luca gave me a long mind-spinning kiss before taking a step away from me so that we can shift. It was about twenty-four hours how he marked me, completing our mate bond, and it was time to let out wolves enjoy their wolf-time.
I found it difficult to separate from Luca, knowing that he craved for my proximity just as I craved his, but Diana was nagging me the whole day and I promised her time with Shadow after nightfall, so… we had to do it.
It didn't take more than a second for Luca's perfect bare form to change into a magnificent chocolate wolf, and I needed more time, but it was getting less painful.
Shadow waited for Diana to fully emerge, and he wagged his tail in anticipation of their playtime.
