The Red Wolf's Mate

Chapter 48- Unsettling Information

Maureen POV

I am momentarily stunned into silence when I hear Wyatt's question, not to mention I probably have a goofy expression plastered across my face. I finally am pulled out of my daze when I feel Wyatt's hand gently touch my cheek, causing me to jolt in my seat and peer at his attractive face, concern and doubt written into his features.

"You want to know how to be changed? For me to transform you into a werewolf?" I hesitantly ask him.  I don't want him to feel he has to transform for me.

"Y.yes. Is i.it wrong of me to ask," he stammers.

"Oh no, no Wyatt it's not wrong at all. Absolutely not! I will answer any questions you have. I.I just don't want you to ever think you need to change, especially for me. I love you just the way you are, human. I will love you whether you are human or werewolf. Just remember that, ok," I reassure him. 

A megawatt smile instantly spreads from ear to ear on Wyatt's face and he slowing moves closer, never removing his hand from my cheek.

"I love you," he whispers into my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "That means more than you'll ever know," he continues while stroking my cheek with his thumb. Appearing to gain confidence, he places soft kisses along my jaw, making his way to my lips. My word, his lips, kisses, touch....pretty much everything about him is addictive, alluring!!! No drug can ever hold a candle to this!!! 

He reluctantly pulls away from our passionate kiss while touching his forehead to mine, taking  deep breathes.  "I love you Maureen. I want to stand by your side through thick and thin, just like you have been doing for me. I know I can do that as a human but I want to be a wolf, like you. To stand with you, fight beside you, support you. I really want to do this so please tell me more about it."

My heart swells with pride and love for my amazing mate.

** He is perfect!! I want him right now!!- Shelia moan out

*Simmer down.............soon though. Me too!!

I pull back and briefly attack his lips and pull back to stare in wonder into my mate's precious eyes. I offer him a genuine smile and breathlessly state, "Ok, I will tell you."

2 1/2 hours later

I explained the process of how I would change him into a werewolf, if that is truly what he ultimately decides, offering as many details as possible. He naturally has questions as well and I did my best to adequately answer them for him. He felt relaxed and more confident by the time we decided to stop our Q & A about werewolf transformations and watch our movie, which we had originally planned. I pushed play on Murder on the Orient Express. Yep, turns out Wyatt is a big admirer of Agatha Christie. 

**Interesting taste he has. Maureen O'Hara movies. Agatha Christie novels. He is an old soul at heart. - Shelia coos and I can feel her smile.

* He is too cute and utterly unique!!

Currently, we are about an hour into our movie, relaxed on the couch, when I feel an alert come through a portal access, instinctively knowing it's from the brownie realm. Each realm has their own "alert" sensation, which saves time and helps reduce uncertainty. My body suddenly stiffens, an act which did not go un-noticed by Wyatt.

"What's wrong?!" he blurts out. 

"The brownie realm alert indicator just went off in my office. I need to go see what's going on. Want to go with me?" I inquire while raising one eye brow with a mischievous grin, thinking he would find the brownies intriguing. And, I am correct when I see him jump off the couch and state, "Heck yeah, that sound cool. Are they like the brownies in Willow? What are they like?" he questions me like a kid.
