“We’re not sure it’s necessarily a bad thing.” Xander assured me quietly. “Unusual, sure, but some pups do mature faster.”

“Not this fast,” I muttered. “And there’s more to it than just her talking. What does ‘aware’ mean?”

“Go talk to her,” Mason urged gently. “Maybe you’ll have more of an insight than we do.”
