I'm sorry, An," I said, hesitating before I spoke again…
““I'm sorry, An," I said, hesitating before I spoke again. "Why did you think I turned Shay? I mean besides smelling the other wolf in the cave." Ansel raised his gray eyes to meet mine, his irises hard as flint. "Because I would have run away with Bryn if anyone told me I couldn't be with her. If she weren't a Guardian, I would've turned her, and I would've run for the rest of my life to keep her by my side." I looked at him for a long moment and then nodded slowly. He loves her. That's what love is. It must be.””
