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.

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
