The Alpha King’s Human Mate

“They say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” (=

After nearly an hour in the bath with Griffin, the water got cold enough to force us out. Of course, this wasn’t until after Griffin had gently cleaned every part of me – and I do mean every part – with some expensive floral-scented shampoo

that looked like it cost more than my entire wardrobe.

However, I couldn’t deny that the bath had done wonders for my sore muscles. I could barely feel the effects of last night

“I would like that,” I called back, “The training…isn’t that what I saw the other day? With that instructor and his students?

Or is this something different?”

“Instructor Ivan is just one of my trainers,” Griffin said, and I could’ve sworn I heard his voice darken at the name. “There

are several of them, and they’re responsible for training new pack warriors. Instructor Ivan is one of the best ~ as pigheaded as he is.”

Griffin emerged from the closet, fully dressed in dark jeans, a long- sleeved black henley, and a thick jacket. In his arms,

he held another bundle of clothes that I could only assume were for me.

‘As he approached, I reached out to take them but he pulled them away. “Don’t you want me to get dressed?” I asked,

raising my eyebrows.

There was a teasing look on Griffin’s face. “I don’t necessarily want you to get dressed, but if we’re going to make it out
