I nod, but the wolf inside me yaps, demanding one more question be asked. “When will I learn to shift?”
His eyes spark in surprise. “You want to learn?”
“I think so. I mean, I can feel her inside me, and she’s demanding I learn … Is that crazy?”
He shakes his head. “It’s perfectly normal to be so connected to your wolf after your first shift.”
“But I didn’t shift.”
“You almost did.”
“So, you think I should completely shift now?”
“Only if you want to. I think it’d be wise if you did, or else she’ll probably keep hounding you.”
“You said it would be painful.” I cringe, recalling how my bones started to snap during my almost shift.
“I said itcouldbe painful.” His grin is all sorts of impishness. “But that I could take away the pain, if you want me to.”
I literally have no clue how he could take my pain away, but I find myself blushing at a few very vivid ideas.
He strokes my cheek. “Legend is right. It is fun embarrassing you.”
I stick out my tongue, and he laughs.
“What? You’re the one who blushed,” he says innocently. “I didn’t do anything but say I could take the pain away. You must have a dirty mind or something.”
I roll my tongue in my mouth. “Whatever, wolf boy. I’m going to bed.” I turn for the door, but then I note the trail of dried blood on the door and stop.
After I was attacked, Legend usually stayed over at my house. I hated being alone. Hated the nightmares. The fear. And while I want to be strong, I don’t want to be alone now, either. I could always go wake up Legend, but Jules is here, and he has the ability to pull me into sleepy cloud dreams inside of haunting, bloody nightmares.
I stare at the door, knowing if I look at him, I’ll lose my nerve. “Jules?”
“Yeah.” He’s closer than I thought.
“Can I …?” I wet my chapped lips with my tongue as I turn around. “Can I sleep in here with you, and can you try to do that little dream thing with me so I won’t have nightmares?”
He nods with zero hesitancy, almost appearing relieved. “Of course. I need to take a shower first, but you can get into my bed now if you want.”
“Okay.” My stomach coils with nerves as I climb onto his bed and pull the covers over me.
He grabs some clothes out of the closet. “Are you hungry?”
I fluff the pillow. “I’m starving, actually.”
Smiling, he snaps his fingers. “Food will be here soon. Just open the door when you hear a knock.” He disappears into the bathroom, leaving the door cracked.
As the shower turns on, images of him shirtless race through my mind, and my wolf howls in delight.
What a little pervert!
I do my best to block out the dirty mental picture and lay in bed until a knock sounds on the door.
Throwing the covers off me, I get up and answer it. No one is out in the hallway, but a platter of fruits, vegetables, crackers, and steak is on the floor.
What the shit? Does he have little elves or something that make him food?
I guess I’ll have to ask Jules about it.
