Finally, she seems to sigh. Her nostrils flare. “Fine. Give me the address, and I’ll be there in a week to check on him.”
Fuck.
“Give me your number so I can call you when he’s better,” I say instead.
She nods. “Yes. That sounds better anyway. She writes it down without question and hands it to me, and I’m even more intrigued. Whoever Iris is, she’s willing to give her phone number to a stranger.
All to check on a teenage wolf.
“He’s here,” she says, gesturing for me to follow.
I do.
Locked in a dog-sized kennel, the kid looks groggy, but awake. Thank the gods that he’s had the good sense to stay in his wolf body.
His eyes widen as he looks at me.
“Here, Silver,” I say, making up a name. I hold the collar out, hoping the kid is smart enough to get what I mean.
He is.
Gently, I snap the collar in place around his neck. He follows me willingly, and we pad out.
Iris follows.
Outside of the truck, I put the kid in the backseat. I turn and look at Iris.
She’s glaring at me, arms folded over her chest. “One week. If you don’t call me before then, I’m calling Parks and Wildlife on you.”
“Noted,” I say.
With a curt nod, she turns, and walks back into the rehab center.
I watch her go.
Shaking my head at the beautiful human’s audacity, I climb into the truck. I throw some sweatpants in the back seat. “Shift,” I command.
Behind me I smell the spark of magic, and the kid shifts. “Alpha, it was just meant to be fun, I didn’t…”
“Shut it,” I snap. “You are on fucking trash duty until your eighteenth birthday.”
The kid groans. He slumps in the seat, clearly sulking.
As I pull away, I take one last look at the center.
Iris.
I have one week to figure out what to do about her.
Or there will be even more hell to pay.
Chapter 2
Iris
“Iris. You do know that the ermine is a carnivore, right?”
I look down at the bowl of leafy greens and vegetables in my hands, then huff out a sigh. “Sorry. I must have grabbed the box for the snowshoe hare instead.”
