glower down at him. At first, when I had woken

up to his scent and warmth, I had felt happy and content since he was here with me. But then irritation began to seep in at not knowing where

he had been last night.

I had waited all night like some good wife

way.

“Ellie?” His voice sounds husky and sleepy as he slowly stands up, rubbing the sleep out of

his eyes with his hands. His blond hair a tousled

I compose myself quickly so I won’t begin to drool over him. I’m sitting with my arms

crossed over my chest, my face pulled in a

scowl, my eyes still blazing with anger.

Even though he looks cute in his vulnerable

nothing but her all night. And how she’s likely the reason why my mate rejected me last night.

Reagan halts then for a second before his

eyes snap to mine as if he’s just seeing me for the first time and noticing my change of mood.

He sighs, reaching for me, “Little wolf...” But I pull back out of his reach, eyeing him cautiously. He seems a bit hurt at my action but

with her?”

He seems confused at my question, arching

an eyebrow at me.” With who?”

“You know who.” I retort with my eyes narrowed at him. He blinks once more at me

before realization dawns on me.
