Suck at lying.
“I’ll let you off the hook this time.” His grin is all sorts of wicked. “Just know, though, that you only get a few freebies.”
I raise my chin. “I won’t need any more freebies, I can assure you.”
“If you say so.”
“I know so.”
And we’ve said that to each other before, too.
I stare down at my limited selection of clothes. “So, what am I supposed to wear to train in, anyway?”
“Whatever you have that’s comfortable.”
I drop the clothes onto the floor. “Well, that pretty much eliminates everything.”
He bends down and scoops up a lacy piece of fabric. I realize too late it’s my underwear.
“I don’t know. These look pretty comfortable.” He chuckles as I snatch the underwear from him.
“Is this what you’re like all the time?” I loathe that I’m blushing again.
“No. Not at all.” His tongue slips out to wet his lips, and I catch the glint of his metallic tongue ring.“But I’ve also never had you standing here in front of me in nothing but a towel that barely covers up anything.” He tilts his head to the side and deliberately checks me out.
I pinch his nipple hard, and he winces, laughing.
“Eyes on my face, dude.”Yeah, like you really mean that, Lake.“And tell me what I should wear, for reals.”
He contains his laughter, but his eyes still sparkle. “Honestly, none of your clothes work. You need something you can move around in. I’ll have Liberty bring you something.”
Nodding, I sink down on the foot of the bed. “That would be great. Thanks.”
“I’ll be right back, then.” He smiles as he starts to leave, but pauses before he walks out of the room. “I had a really great time last night.” He suddenly seems shy. “I haven’t slept like that in ages.”
“Me neither.”
We trade a shy smile, and then he exits the room.
I flop back on the bed, my heart fluttering like a cracked-out hummingbird. He may not be my alterum dimidium animae, but damn if my heart seems to think otherwise. I take several breaths, trying to get my heartrate and my wolf to chill out. But by the time Jules returns, I’m still a riled-up mess of want, desire, and confusion.

Afew minutes after Jules leaves his bedroom, Liberty shows up with an arm full of clothes. She decides my best choice is a pair of black fitted pants, lace up boots, and a tank top. She also tells me to put my hair up in case I have to fight Shade.
“Total hair puller,” she explains.
After I get dressed, Jules, Shade, Kylan, Liberty, and I depart to the training pit while Legend takes off to his hometown to run some errands. He assures me he’ll be back by nightfall, though.
As we’re walking down the dirt road toward the forest, we cross paths with a little bit of a problem. Well, problem might be a stretch.
“And here comes the horny princesses in heat,” Liberty murmurs from beside me as a group of female werewolves around our age head up the street toward us.
“Why do you call them that?” I ask as we near the group of giggling female werewolves.
She twirls a knife around in her hand like a baton. “Because they’re some of the potential princesses, and they all try to dry hump Jules’ leg every time they get near him. Not all the princesses are that bad, but those five right there are the female version of Shade.”
“Hey,” Shade starts to protest, but then shrugs. “Okay, I guess you’re right. Although, I don’t giggle like they do.”
