Chapter 166
We arrive back in Montana later that night and I’m exhausted.
But I’m glad for it, because hopefully it’ll mean I’ll fall straight into an exhausted sleep without dreams or grief disturbing me.
There’s extra SUVs in the driveway, but I don’t immediately think anything of it.
Not until I walk into the foyer and come face to face with Aaron.
We both freeze at the sight of each other.
My entire body lights up and my inner wolf is ecstatic.
This feeling, it’s like I was living in some kind of half-light, and Aaron brough the sun, warming me and making everything bright
and sharp.
Tension crackles in the air between us and Aaron’s eyes immediately glow golden.
Next thing I know, every single other wolf-including James-has fled, leaving us standing alone.
In that second, I make a snap decision, though I’m sure it’s mostly my wolf, the way she’s pushing up and clamoring to get closer
to him.
“I need to tell you something,” I blurt out into the heavy silence.
