My claws slid out before I was aware they were free.
Suit’s gaze dropped, and he swallowed. “You said—”
I lashed out, my claws slicing through his throat. Blood sprayed and I smiled. “I lied.”

Iwoke up feeling more refreshed than I had in weeks. Unfortunately, the sun was streaming through the gaps in the dark curtains, and Nathaniel was nowhere to be seen.
I’d overslept. Again. If I wasn’t careful, I was going to get a reputation as a sloth.
My body felt better, though. The pain had shifted from an all-encompassing agony to a dull throb.
Clearly, I was winning at life.
I picked up my phone and checked my messages.
Enjoy your rest, sleeping beauty. Message me when you wake up.
Nathaniel. I flicked him a quick message asking where he was, and I wasn’t surprised when he didn’t immediately respond. He was probably out doing Alpha stuff.
My phone buzzed again.
Come see me when you wake up. We need to talk.Kyla. That sounded concerning.
I gave my body a stern talking-to and made it to my feet with a groan. My gaze landed on the end of the bed, and I was lifting the clothes before I realized I’d moved.
“Is he crazy? Cashmere? I’ll ruin this within an hour,” I muttered. A piece of paper fell to the floor, and I picked it up.
Stay comfortable today.
PS: I don’t care if you ruin it.
He knew me too well. I raised the soft-as-butter sweater to my face and snuggled into it.
Two minutes later, I was dressed in the gray sweatpants and sweater. Although calling them sweats seemed ridiculous. Nathaniel even included a tank with a surprisingly supportive built-in bra, so I didn’t need to wrestle with a real bra.
“He’s a keeper,” I murmured, scooping my hair into a ponytail. I made my way downstairs, but Tobias stepped out of the kitchen, blocking my path to the front door.
“Nope,” he said. “Come with me.”
I sighed but followed him back into the kitchen.
“I need two minutes.” He handed me a coffee, and I sat at the huge island while he bustled around the kitchen.
Exactly two minutes later, he handed me a Tupperware container with two breakfast sandwiches, complete with egg, sausage, and cheese.
“How’d you know I was up?”
“Nathaniel messaged me.”
That sneaky wolf. “These look great. Thanks.”
“Tell Kyla I say hello.”
“Is there anything youdon’tknow?”
