Elara I woke to Linda's voice outside the door. "Luna Elara isn't in her room? Did she go out early?" Footsteps got closer. "Alpha Dominic, breakfast is ready." My brain wasn't working yet. But I felt the heavy arm around my waist right away. When I moved a little, that arm got tighter. It pulled me back against the warm body behind me. Everything from last night came back. It wasn't a dream. It really happened. I closed my eyes tight. I wanted to disappear. Dominic moved my hair away from my ear. His lips touched my earlobe. His voice was rough from sleep. "Got it, Linda." I hit him hard in the ribs with my elbow. "Get off me." He made a sound, then laughed quietly. "What's wrong? Already done with me?" I turned my head fast. "Who was done with who?"
