EZRA
Waking up next to lainey in her bed in the cabin made me smile without meaning to. I leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, making her stir but she didn’t wake up.
So I got up and got dressed and headed towards the main house. The packhouse felt too quiet in a way that made every sound stand out sharper than it should have.
Boots against floorboards. Doors opening and closing. Low voices that stopped the second someone important walked past.
The whole place felt like it was bracing for impact, and maybe that was because everyone knew we were three days out from the challenge while Christopher’s wolves kept circling the border like f*****g vultures.
Or maybe it was because Warren sat in the holding cells downstairs after making the pack look divided in front of an enemy Alpha.
