would weaken him. But he loved her. Men were so silly sometimes, thinking emotions made them weak.
    She followed the love coming through the mating bond that tied their hearts together. Suddenly, she was in his mind.
    He was a man who deeply loved his people, his Alpha, his family, and, yes, he loved her as well. She saw his memories—boys he mentored and the cousin he raised. There were a lot of memories of wolves running and hunting and playing.
    Surprised at the vivid images, Melisande wondered if he studied wolves or lived near a wolf reserve.
    Melisande moved forward in his thoughts and found the memories of him helping Scotland Yard and the Russian police as they tried to combat the criminal element.
    She gasped when she saw the memory of the near miss during the arrests here in London. Ralf Lewis was lucky to be alive. Grigori had pushed him out of the way of a bullet, saving him from dying.
    But Melisande also felt Grigori’s fear of discovery. Why he was afraid and of what, she wasn't sure.
    She wondered about the heartmate bond, and as if her questions guided her, she now found memories of other couples Grigori knew who were bonded. Each time a new couple came into focus, she saw the heartmate bond clearly.
    Grigori felt the bond was between soul mates and indicated a true love match. He was terrified of losing her. Melisande wanted to remove his fear. Now, as she shared his memories, she knew he loved her. She realized that finding each other was a gift.
    Melisande now knew he would be demanding and protective of her, but also kind and gentle with her. He really did want forever with her. She wasn't sure whether she wanted to laugh or cry. Grigori was so much more than what she first thought he was.
    Melisande snuggled closer and caressed Grigori's face and hair. She knew, as well as she knew her name, that Grigori needed her. He would never do anything solely for himself. But he wanted her to belong to him. She kissed him lightly. He was hers, and she was keeping him. She fell asleep, holding him gently.
    Grigori awoke with a start. Melisande was sleeping peacefully in his arms. He felt her emotions coming through the heartmate bond. She was surprisingly content. He felt glad she was no longer afraid, but wasn't sure how it had happened. He brushed her hair back from her face and pressed little butterfly kisses on her eyes and nose. Glancing at the clock, he knew there was still time to stay in bed. Pulling her closer, he happily watched her snuggle into a comfortable position. She was content with him in her sleep. He lay still, holding her, enjoying how happy it made him to do so.
    Grigori woke Melisande in plenty of time to dress and eat a sandwich. He watched her as she ate. His love for her was so deep that he ached with it. After she had dressed in a silk business suit, she looked ready to take on the world. She radiated confidence and a complete lack of worry. Melisande was going to impress Lady Ashtown. She was one of the premier textile specialists, and she knew it.
    When the call came, saying the car and driver waited downstairs, Grigori spoke quietly with Kincaid and Hampton. Melisande picked up her purse and testing kit and walked to the door. She allowed Officer Hampton to carry her kit for her. Grigori took her arm and tucked her into his side. He felt very possessive, but Meli seemed to accept it and smiled up at him.
    Officer Kincaid led the way down the hall as Officer Hampton fell in behind. Grigori kept Melisande between the officers and sheltered her with his larger frame. They moved through the lobby and into the waiting car.
    "Did anyone contact Lady Ashtown?" Melisande asked once they were all inside the vehicle.
    "Yes, Miss Reule. Lady Ashtown was informed of the danger but believes her security is up to the challenge,” Officer Kincaid said.
    "Well, that's good, then,” Melisande said. “I can't wait to see her collection of tapestries. It is rumored to be one of the best in the
