“That’s good,” she glanced at me with relief.
She was standing next to the stove and watching over two crackling and steaming pans with a spatula in her hand.
“It smells good.” I drew closer. “Are you making a steak?”
“Wolves like steaks.” She smiled. “Are you hungry?”
“I am now.” I glanced into the pan. “Is it done?”
“Almost.” She put the spatula down. “Spencer, how are you feeling?”
“I’m okay. I don’t feel any pain yet. How are you?” I tilted my head. “Ready to do some magic?”
“Yeah,” she nodded. “I’m ready.” She glanced at my wrist. “Honey, where’s your bracelet?”
“It’s in my pocket. I took it off so it wouldn’t get paint on it. And I don’t want it to go to pieces during the shift. It’s his family heirloom.”
“Spencer, you need to keep it on. It’s okay, Finn can fix it later. We will need every bit of help we can get.”
“Okay. He’ll make me wear it anyway,” I sighed. “I’ll go wash.”
While I was in the shower, the fear of what was coming crept into me again, messing with my thoughts, stirring my blood, and making me dizzy.
I need to control this. How do I control this?
I turned off the water and took a few deep breaths. It didn’t help.
Of course, it wouldn’t. It’s getting dark. From now on, it will only get worse.That thought made me shiver.
I quickly dried my hair with a towel then put on my shorts and tank. Tears rolled into my eyes and I went to my room.
When I opened the door, I saw Finn standing next to the window. My heart leaped. I rushed toward him, and he wrapped me in his arms.
“Thank God you’re here,” I whispered against his lips before I kissed him.
“Spencer, you’re shaking.” Tightening his grip on me, he gently rubbed my back. “You’re not in pain, are you? It’s too early for that.”
“No.” I locked my arms around his neck. “I’m fine. It’s just . . . I missed you.”
He brushed his lips against mine. “I missed you too.”
“How did it go? He wasn’t still here, was he?”
“After we crossed the river, his scent was all over the place. But, no, he was nowhere around. So I want you to forget about it right now.” He ran his fingers through my hair and my eyes closed at his touch.
His lips traveled over my face then slid to my neck. My body stretched up as his hands moved down my back, but the moment they reached my thighs, he quickly pulled them up again.
“No,” I moaned, “don’t stop.”
“We can’t,” he murmured into my ear, heavily breathing.
“What? Why?”
“Not now, my love. It’s too close to the shift, and you’ll need every bit of your strength.”
“But it will help me relax.”
“And that’s another problem,” he chuckled. “You shouldn’t relax. You should be alert and in full control.” His lips touched mine. “Look at the bright side. After tonight, we’ll have all the time in the world to do whatever we want.”
