I hadn’t expected her reaction. She truly did want me to thank her.“Thank you for using my shower, then. And eating the meal I cooked you.”
Her face reddened further.
Thanking a shifter for something they were expected to do was disrespectful… but I supposed I hadn’t truly expected her to eat my food or make herself comfortable in my den, though it was technically hers.
And if I was mated to a human, I would have to be willing to change.
“You’re welcome.” She closed her eyes and relaxed against me. “See? Not so difficult.”
I made a noncommittal noise, and her lips curved upward slightly.
My gaze remained fixed on her face, studying the female who was becoming my world.
Eventually, I would have to emerge from our den and face my pack. For the moment, I was simply going to do my best to enjoy the feel of my female against my side.
I fell asleep soon after her breathing leveled out. With her fingers curling in my fur and her soft, damp red hair filling our den with her scent, I slept more soundly than I could remember ever sleeping before.

The morning came around too quickly.
I woke up to find a gorgeous werewolf’s perfect, tattooed ass facing me while he cooked me breakfast.
It was a bit of a shock, but at least the view was good.
My gaze lingered on the curve of his backside and the ink that covered his skin. I tried to stay silent as I admired him.
He was really damn gorgeous.
My body was overly warm, and when I glanced down at my arms to see if the magic had anything to do with it, I found myself glowing.
Again.
It was only a slight glow, but it was definitely there.
Hopefully it would vanish after I stopped staring at Ivaylo.
Nature pulled me from the bed, and I slipped into the bathroom, wincing at the soreness in my muscles. I wanted to take a shower as an excuse to stay away from him a bit longer, but my hair had finally dried at some point during the night, and I wasn’t ready to risk getting it wet again. It took forever to dry—and had taken way too long to comb out after washing it the night before.
I needed to find out if Evare had conditioner, because there certainly hadn’t been any in the shower. And a gritty bar of soap had done little to make my nowbright redhair manageable.
After I used the facilities, I found myself staring at my face while I washed my hands.
The glowing pink eyes were disorienting. Very, very disorienting. The red hair, I could get used to. It was fun, and bright. But the eyes were eerie. They stillfeltnormal, so I quit staring at them.
My attention slipped to the healed bite mark on my neck. Though I hadn’t paid it too much mind the night before, my hand lifted to the shimmering silver crescent that wrapped around the place my neck met my shoulder. I slowly trailed a finger over the jagged mark there.
Theclaimmark.
My gaze lingered there for a few moments, then I slipped out of the bathroom. Maybe I should’ve been missing Earth, or trying to find a way back there, but…
I didn’t want to.
I really, really didn’t want to.
Did I necessarily want to stay in Evare and be pursued by a gorgeous werewolf who thought we were fated mates?
