My heart is soaring. For the first time in so f*****g long, I am happy. Until Benny crashes through the rooftop door with that look on his face. I had the walls up in my mind while I had this moment with my miracle mate, and apparently that was the wrong decision. The moment I let my walls come down, I’m assaulted with a barrage of voices—all my men, furious. What’s going on?! Everyone but Benny quiets. “India is here,” he says as he walks across the roof with a pair of joggers for me. Wolves are used to nudity. We don’t keep our clothes during a shift, so while it’s normal for us, I’m thankful Benny is already so thoughtful of Leera. I don’t want to overwhelm or embarrass her. Not yet, anyways. What does she want? I ask, irritated that my moment with Leera is being interrupted. f**
