DOMONIC

An hour later I am still sitting on the couch. Draven fast asleep and wrapped in a blanket next to me. For some reason, I can’t stop touching her, even as she sleeps. I stroke her hip over the blanket as the rest of my pack crowds the room.

“What did you find?” I ask quietly, not looking up from her face.
