Chapter 24

When Zeke walked into his house, the first thing he could smell was fear. It had been only a day with these Omegas, but he was already tired of them. He hadn’t even talked to them except for when they arrived.

He could also smell dinner, but he wasn’t hungry–not for food, anyway. He had no idea why he had even gone to Ava’s dorm, but after the conversation he overheard at breakfast, something drove him to confirm that she was alone in her room.

Shadow didn’t like that she was on the ground floor and had such a wide window with a flimsy.lock. He had accessed her room so easily from the back. But he told, the wolf to back off: she was not their concern. He’d told her to lock her window, and that was all the advice he would give her.

His eyes glowed on and off when Claire came out of the lounge and walked towards him with a smile.

“Stop,” he growled.

“What are you doing here?” he asked.

“Since you were tired last night, I thought…

He opened his eyes when her voice trailed off. It was her fear that was clogging up his nose now. Why was she even with him when she was so scared of him? He couldn’t remember a single time that he had warmed up to her, and their “dates” involved her dropping her panties and him leaving soon after. Why did she stick around for that shit?

“You know you can’t come here without permission, right? You know how territorial my wolf is.”
