Serafina laughed again, her elegant shoulders shaking as she turned her head toward him. "Zoomies?" she repeated, her eyes teasing.
Ryker nodded solemnly, though his eyes were full of warmth. "Wolf pup curse. Too much excitement—then no one in this house can catch her."
As if proving his point, Luna zoomed past them again, a happy blur of fur, her little claws clicking against the floor before she launched herself onto a cushion pile, tail wagging furiously.
Serafina leaned against Ryker's arm, her smile soft. "Let her," she whispered. "She's so happy… she thinks she discovered real magic."
Ryker's lips quirked, and his hand brushed over hers. "She did, Serafina. Look at her. That's the strongest magic of all."
And together they watched their little wolf pup run wild, their hearts full.
