Isabella's voice cut through the darkness, but I couldn't stop. My throat burned, my pulse pounded, and my wolf was clawing at the surface-ready to fight and growling at me for screaming instead of letting her do exactly that.

Then the lights flicked on.

"Why are you still screaming?" Isabella asked, brows furrowed.

"I don't know!" My breath came in short gasps, my chest heaving. "Stop it."

"I can't!"

"Oh, for goodness' sake,” Eliza, who had apparently appeared out of nowhere, grabbed something-what even was that, a underwear?-and stuffed it into my mouth.

I yanked it out immediately, eyes wide, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I told you it was a bad idea to sneak up on her," Eliza muttered to Isabella, arms crossed.

I turned to her, still breathless. "And you! You're here too? What the hell are you both even doing in my room?" My heart was still hammering, my wolf still pacing beneath my skin.

Isabella grinned like she hadn't just scared the life out of me, "We're here to take you out."

I blinked, "Take me where? And why didn't you just call?" I turned to Eliza, "And you're supposed to be the rational one. Why would you agree to this? Why aren't you at work with Grayson? And why are you enabling her?"

“Okay, that's enough 'and why's,"" Isabella cut in. "You've had this dead look in your eyes ever since you got back from that storm. You keep saying you're fine, but you're not. So, I decided we needed to do something normal. Something fun. Like we used to."

"You mean like when you used to get me into trouble?" I deadpanned.

"Anyway," She dragged the word out, ignoring me, "I went to Grayson, and all I had to say was, 'Ava needs this,' and he released Eliza from work. I was thinking later we could use that to our advantage-like, I don't know, get him to buy us a small country by saying, 'Ava needs this.""
