Gil wanted nothing but the best for Modesty and to see her flourish in life. Whatever she wanted, he would try his hardest to give her. It was what she said last that made his heart feel as if it would explode from its chest. "You really mean that?" He whispered under his breath as he pulled her closer to him. They didn't need the alcohol or anything else to feel free to speak of their feelings. Smiling brightly, he kissed her thick fur and buried his nose deep to smell her scent that was hard to avoid.

"If you really mean it, why not get married here, right now? Just the two of us. Unless you want a wedding-wedding. Whatever you want," his yellow eyes looked over at her with curiosity. His body nearly trembled with the excitement he felt in his belly. How could his life have turned out so wonderful? Not only did he belong to a pretty cool pack where he could do what he wanted, but he also had fallen in love with a beautiful and sweet and amazing girl. A year ago, if one had asked him if he thought his life would be where it is now, he would have said to fuck off. Something in him was different now and he wasn't upset about it.
