#Chapter 64: Out in the Open
Standing in the alley, the tension between Karl and me is almost palpable, like a living, breathing entity
that neither of us can ignore. His eyes search mine, as if trying to excavate the truth from deep within
me.
“Is it true, Abby? Your wolf is—”
I cut him off, not wanting to delve into that cavern of pain right now. “Forget it,” I say, turning away.
There’s a beat of silence as we both grapple with our feelings. I thought that Karl somehow knew about
the fact that my wolf has been in a coma all this time, but it seems as though he has no idea. I can’t
decide if it makes it hurt worse or less.
“Abby, why didn’t you tell me?” he asks gently.
I can feel his fingers brush my arm. It’s a comfort for the briefest of moments, but I’m still angry, still
hearing Chloe’s words whirling around in my head. I pull away and turn on him, pointing a finger at his
chest.
“Karl, if you want to get on my good side, if you want a chance at anything, you need to be a team
player. That’s the end of it.”
He studies me for a beat, then finally nods, clearly giving up on the subject of my wolf. “Fine. But you
need to talk to John about his attitude too, Abby. It’s not just me who has a problem with him.”
The concession tastes bitter in my mouth, but it’s necessary. John’s inappropriate remarks and hot-
headed attitude in the kitchen have been a problem for a long time now. He’s such a good employee
and an excellent cook that I try to ignore it, but Karl is right; it’s about time that he’s put in his place.
“Agreed,” I say with a nod. “Now get back in there. We have a dinner service to complete.”
Karl gives me a nod, a mere shadow of his former c ocky self, and heads back inside. I take a deep
breath, preparing myself for the conversation that awaits me. With John.
The atmosphere in the kitchen is thick with tension as I reenter, but I push through it, striding past the
line cooks and prep stations until I reach my office.
