Karen’s POV
By the time I got back home, I was completely drained. The day had been longer than I expected, and all I wanted was a bath. I dropped my bag on the couch and headed straight upstairs to my room.
I peeled off my clothes and went into the bathroom, letting the warm water wash away the stress of the day. When I finally stepped out, I tied a towel around my chest and wiped the steam off the mirror. My reflection stared back at me a little tired, but at least I looked less messy than before.
I changed into a loose black shirt and shorts, brushed my hair, and padded downstairs. The house was quiet; Zaiden wasn’t around, which did surprise me. Probably he was on his Alpha duties. I hadn’t seen him since morning.
Feeling a bit hungry, I decided to make dinner. I wasn’t in the mood
