When his scentwas off of my skin, and my hair had soaked long enough that I hoped I’d be able to tug a brush through it, I finally got out and dried off.
There was a loud knock at the door when I stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel.
I paused.
The front door opened a second later, and my eyes widened.
“Morgan, it’s Charly and Iris. You and I met about a week ago,” a female voice called out.
I remembered the girl with the scarred throat, and relaxed even as my hand lifted to my neck.
My fingers slid over the uneven skin.
“Axel texted me. He sent us money and had us buy you some clothes a few days ago,” she added.
I frowned.
Clothes?
“Okay, thanks,” I called back. “Just a minute.”
“No worries.”
I stepped into the bedroom, and my eyes scanned the space for the duffel bag.
It was gone.
I remembered closing my eyes when he left…
Had he grabbed it, and taken it with him?
Why would he have done that, though?
All it had inside was some dirty clothes, an old sheet, and my thrift-store quilt.
After walking to the closet, I pulled it open. I knew there were only a few sets of Axel’s clothes inside, but something was better than nothing.
I tugged one of his t-shirts over my head, then grabbed a wide-tooth comb from the bathroom and started working at the knots in my hair as I walked down the stairs.
Charly, the platinum-blonde chick I’d met in the driveway, was already putting groceries away in the fridge.
Iris was on the couch, her eyes bright and her expression happy.
“You look good,” I said to her, shocked.
I mean sure, she still looked sick. She had looked sick for a long time. But she looked less sick than she had for the last twelve months or so, which was a significant improvement.
She smiled. “Apparently werewolf blood strengthens vampires.”
My eyebrows shot upward. “Seriously?”
She nodded. “There’s some kind of magic in it, I guess.”
Huh.
That was nifty.
“Damn.” I continued brushing out my hair. “Which werewolf have you been snacking on?”
