‘Let me soothe her. She trusts me?

I exhaled hard through my nose. “Yeah, yeah. Don’t let it go to your head, Shadowie boy.”

I stepped back just as her body jolted upright with a broken scream, sheets tangled around her legs. Her eyes flew open, wild an unfocused, chest heaving like she’d run for miles. She looked straight through me, panic sharpening her face as her gaze darted around the room.

“Shadow?” she gasped, voice wrecked.

I shifted fast. Bones folded. Skin rippled. The world dropped lower as fur replaced flesh. Pain cracked through me and I bit my tongue to keep from making a sound.

Black paws hit the floor. I jumped up onto her mattress and scrambled up the bed toward her just as she started shaking. She grabbed me with both arms and dragged me against her chest, burying her face in my neck like she was trying to hide.

“You didn’t leave me,” she sobbed into my fur.

I stilled. Leaving hadn’t even crossed my mind. I pressed my nose harder under her chin, tail tightening along her side. I wasn’t going anywhere. My poor mate didn’t know she had a hive of vampires ready to kill for her.

She would soon.

“It was just a nightmare. An awful dream.”

I pressed into her, curling against her ribs, my tail wrapping along her side. My tongue dragged once across the salt-wet skin of her wrist, grounding, steady. Every part of me screamed to shift back, to wrap her up and never let anything touch her again.

‘Easy.’

I bit back a growl, forcing myself to stay still, small, safe. I lifted my head just enough to look at her face.

Tears. Exhaustion. Fear that hadn’t fully left her green eyes. Rage burned low and steady in my chest. She didn’t need to see the

monster.

But the ones who’d hurt her?

They’d never see me coming.

ZARA.

My phone buzzed on the nightstand, rattling in the quiet.

“If that’s Rayson texting to ask me to cover another shift, I’m legally allowed to fake my own death, right?”

I rolled over and buried my face in my pillow, ignoring him. It buzzed again. So not a text, a call then. I blindly swiped it off my side table, rolled onto my back, and squinted at the screen.

Sir Dorian’s too stuck up flashed on my screen. My stomach deep-dived off a cliff. I stared at his name, thumb hovering over the

screen, my heart doing that stupid hopeful flutter I absolutely did not apprave of.

“You have got to be kidding me.

I peeked at Shadow from beneath the covers. He ignored me. Just tucked his nose under his tail like I wasn’t spiraling two feet

away.

Rude.

Didn’t he care that I was having a full meltdown two feet away?

“Why the hell is Dorian calling me at seven in the morning?”

Shadow cracked one eye open at my question.

“I should ignore him, right?”

I shoved tangled hair out of my face and sat up.

“Fake therapists don’t get early-morning phone privileges. Especially when they’ve ignored me for a week.”

My throat felt annoyingly tight and my pulse was running laps in my chest. I glared at the still buzzing phone.

“I hate that I want to answer it.” I glanced at Shadow, who was openly watching me now. “Don’t judge me, okay?”

I swiped up and answered the call.

“What do you want, Dorian?”

“That’s no way to greet anyone, Zara. And what did I tell you? It’s sir or Dr. Voss.”

“That’s what you’re worried about? Whether I follow some stupid etiquette rule when you’re calling me at seven A.M.?” The words burst out of me before I could stop them.

So much for being subtle.

Silence stretched just long enough for me to feel stupid.

“It’s been a week since the warehouse, and you haven’t checkęci on me at all. Some shrink you are”

Maybe he forgot he’d faked being my therapist.

I reached for the glass of water on my bedside table-one I didn’t remember getting. I frowned but took a drink anyway, I must’ve grabbed it after my nightmare and been too exhausted to remember.

“You’re right. I should have reached out sooner. How are you?”

The softening in his voice deflated me a little.

I stared at the empty glass in my hand, then pushed the covers back and stood. My apartment was freezing, the hardwood biting into my bare feet as I crossed to the sink and set the glass down with a soft clink.

“Come on, Zara. Tell me what’s going on. What have I missed this week? I blew out a long breath and threw a hand up in exasperation.

“Well, tet’s see. My heater’s broken, I’m freezing my tits off. The nightmares are making it hard to sleep, and I’m starving but there

nothing to cat.”

I yanked open the fridge, stared at the sad, empty shelves, and slammed it shut.

“Yep. That about sums it up, Dr. Voss.”

I rolled my lips between my teeth, bracing myself.

Waiting for him to ask if I was done again like last time I’d spiraled on him. When he didn’t… My eyes prickled with unexpected

tears.
