That night, I laid in bed, willing sleep to come but the unfamiliar sound of Stormhowl pack kept me on edge. After hours of tossing and turning, I decided that a run might help clear my head.
“Perhaps, Cyrus would like to join us,” Nyx suggested and I agreed. Some time running together might help rebuild the connection we had lost.
I slipped out of my room crossed the hallway to Cyrus’s door and knocked on it, wearing a big smile on my face.
But as the door swung open, instead of Cyrus, I saw Nadia standing at the doorway, a towel wrapped over her wet, naked body.
For a moment, I stood there, staring at the dripping Nadia with shocked silence not knowing what to do or say.
I recovered long enough to step back and check the sign on the room, clear enough it was Alpha Cyrus’s room or did he change?
“Oh, Luna Elara! What a pleasant surprise to see you here. Did you need something?”
I struggled to find my voice, trying to still the buzzing in my head. “I was looking for Cyrus,” I managed to say, hating how weak my voice sounded.
“Oh!” her voice dripped with innocence. “He’s not in his room presently. Maybe he stepped out to deal with some pack business or something,” she explained.
