She stammered over her words, scrambling over a million explanations that died on her tongue. Once again, I had her flustered.
And it pleased me to see it.
“I’m kidding, Rose,” I said gently. She hunched into her seat while wearing a bashful expression. “I’m not a pack wolf.”
She perked up. “Are you saying I’m interested in you?”
“Not to assume anything, but this morning was…”

He shrugged, pride brimming around his aura. “Call me curious.”
“I’m sure we have much to discuss, Adam. I’m as interested in discovering my power as you are.”
“I’m glad we’re on the same page.”
