Unshift 298

298 Ava: His Wolf

Sister Miriam doesn't accompany Selenc-thank God, because while I convinced Lucas to get dressed, the room smells like sex and pheromones.

The heat beneath my skin has dissipated, though. I'm not sure if that's normal, or if there's worse to come. Either way, with my neck marked by Lucas, at least I'm no longer a danger to the other shifters. My pheromones should only affect my mate now. The relief from that knowledge has my shoulders so much lighter; I hadn't realized how stressed

the thought of heat made me all this time.

Seeing Selene's silver husky form slip through the door, my heart is full near to bursting. Her presence in my mind is great, but her physical presence eases something inside of me.

Selene's lost a little weight. The pristine white of her fur is dulled with what seems to be flecks of dried mud. But her bright blue eyes are sparkling with joy as she bounds forward, vaulting into the bed to roll and wiggle her body against the both of us. It's my first time seeing her give Lucas affection, but he doesn't seem surprised at all, even lifting his hand to rub her ears and give her a sweet little hug.

What happened between them when I was gone?

He's not so bad when you get to know him.

Selene's nonchalant words has my eyes narrowing. Not so bad? Get to know him?

"Who are you, and what did you do with my wolf?"

Don't be impertinent. Selene snorts in my direction, wiggling further into Lucas' lap and headbutting him until he scratches behind her ears. He gives good ear scratches. You should ask

for some.

Yeah, I'll get right on that.

Well, I suppose you have other things you'd prefer he scratch.

"Selene!"

She sneezes in my direction, tail thumping as Lucas rubs across her fur with vigorous affection, looking for all the world like the queen of huskies accepting the attention that's her due.

"When did you guys start getting along so well?" Not sure if I'm jealous or not, I watch Lucas with a distinctly sulky feeling. I want them to get along-1 do-but Selene's my wolf, isn't she? "Did we not get along well before? Lucas seems surprised as Selene licks his hand, flicking her
