WhenIreturntothe bedroom, I find my mates have folded up the blankets and set them down on the bed with the pillows. They all have their loincloths back in place, and Scratch is on all fours on the floor for some reason.
I raise my eyebrow at Fox. “What’s Scratch doing?”
Fox opens his mouth, looks at Scratch, and closes it again, shaking his head at his brother.
I wait for an answer and Fox seems conflicted.
Scratch gets to his feet and gives Fox a warning look.
“Did I miss something?”
Fox shakes his head. “Only Scratch being a pain in my neck as usual.”
He sits on the edge of the bed, and Snake sits down next to him.
I move over to the closet and remove my towel. I realize I don’t really have a place to put it once I’ve folded it up, but Scratch is standing near me, and he takes it out of my hands when he sees me looking around. My face flushes as I thank him, feeling kind of shy about being naked all of sudden, which is completely crazy after everything we just did together.
It’s because of the way he’s looking at me, as if he wants to do all of it all over again.
Right now.
All I’d need to do is ask.
Goddess, that sounds like heaven.
My stomach complains, and I flush even redder, knowing it must be making noise.
Alina used to tell me she could hear me in the other room if I was hungry as a child.
I believe her. She always seemed to magically appear at my bedroom doorway whenever I could use a cookie or two at night. Dinner wasn’t always enough when I was going through a growth spurt.
I turn away from Scratch to hide my reddening face and to throw on some clothing so we can go get some food before the day gets any later. When I’m dressed a minute later, I close the closet and find out Scar is standing in the doorway, probably telling his brothers the plan.
Fox nods, getting to his feet after Snake does.
Scar is still talking when I get closer.
Fox shakes his head and turns to me.
“You want to come with us, don’t you?” he asks.
I raise an eyebrow. “I assumed we were all going.”
“Scar thinks he should go with Scratch, and we should wait here.”
I look at Scar, and I shake my head. “We’reallgoing.”
He doesn’t look sure, but I am, and I’m not going to be left waiting around again when something needs to be done. Not even something as simple as getting food.
“You meant it when you took me as your Luna,” I remind him. “I say we all go, so we all go.”
Fox smiles at me, and Snake looks just as pleased.
Apparently, it’s just my wolf mates who need to get used to having someone else make the rules.
Scar’s been their leader for so long that I know it might take a while to adjust, and I’m not going to ignore his advice when it matters, but this trip we’re about to take is nothing.
