I tossed and turned all night. I just couldn’t get settled, and it didn’t help that Iris was off on her tangent. She kept calling for her mate, and it was driving me crazy. She acts like I don’t want Mark. Actually, I can’t be mad at her. I did act as if he wasn’t what I wanted, but that simply isn’t true.

I grab my phone off the nightstand and see it’s 3:15 in the morning. I know sleep will not be visiting me at all, and I wish I were back home. If I were, I would go for a run and try to tire myself out. I’m visiting a different territory, and it isn’t smart to take off for a run under those circumstances. Not only that, but if I let Iris out, I know exactly where I’d end up. I asked Mark to give me time before he asks that I accept his rejection. I just need to build my strength and be mentally prepared for the loss.

I sigh and turn to my side. I stare at the wall for a bit, watching the movie that isn’t my life play out. I scroll through my phone, looking at different videos and memes. Nothing is pacifying my wolf or me, but I’m not surprised. I sigh again and lock my phone. I place it back on the nightstand and lie on my back, looking up at the ceiling. I could try counting sheep, but I’m not sure that would work.

I make a choice to go work out. I’m sure that I can make it to the gym, and maybe a vigorous workout will help me sleep at least a bit. I finish lacing up my shoes, having put on a workout outfit. I grab a small towel out of the bathroom and head to the door. I pull the door open, and the shock almost knocks me on my a*s. Standing at my door is Mark, and my voice disappears, my throat becoming dry.

Mark clears his throat, looking everywhere but at me. “Uh, was I disturbing you?”

“N…no. I…I was just going to go work out.”

“It’s pretty early for that, don’t you think?”

minute?” I quickly nod, not trusting my voice. “ Maybe I can go to the gym with you. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you while you were on my territory.” I give Mark a small smile and step toward him, closing the door behind me. We turn to the
