I stumbled, almost falling. I was about to crash into his chest, but I reacted quickly, shifting into wolf form. After a few adjustments, I transformed back into a human.

‘Good morning,” I said, gasping for breath as I steadied myself. I brushed the hair from my face, offering a smile that was both awkward and dignified.

Xander… He just stared at me for a moment, speechless. What were you doing sneaking around so early in the morning?”

He said it so casually, as if *I* was the one who’d gone into a frenzy twice last night. He was already dressed in a sophisticated, vintage dark brown suit, tall and elegant, looking every bit the polished young alpha. There wasn’t a trace of last night about him.

My wolf scoffed internally, “HE’S AWAKE AND CONVENIENTLY FORGETTING ABOUT MY “SNEAKING AROUND.“”

I came to wake you up. We’re leaving this afternoon, and I wanted to pack,” I offered as an explanation.

But when I sat down and saw him, bathed in sunlight, cold and abstinent… my wolf’s mind flashed back to the image of him in a half–open black robe, his body radiating desire… and then, worst of all, my mind added a fantasy scene of him alone in the

bathroom…

Oh, my Luna Goddess! I felt like I was going insane. I closed my eyes. My wolf swore it wasn’t intentional, “I’M A GROWN WOLF! THOSE IMAGES JUST POPPED INTO MY HEAD; I DIDN’T WANT SOPHIA TO HAVE IMPURE THOUGHTS.
