The laughter that echoed in celebration at the packhouse never reached my heart.

I glanced through the hall for Piper, who was laughing across it with Rowan and some of the younger wolves, a smile that spoke of shared secrets, easy conversation, heard in bitter overtones that only kindled the burning and jealousy within me.

I turned away, my fingers closing more tightly on the edge of my cup.

She took a step closer, her face scanning mine, bewildered. “Are you all right?” she asked more quietly.

I said nothing. Before I knew it, my hands reached out and wrapped at her hips. “You.you smell of her,” I whispered.

She didn’t say anything, but before even a word could leave her mouth, I pressed her against me, my lips kissing hers as if compelled.
