I walked into my room and immediately went to the bathroom to take yet another shower. This one, unlike the previous one, was quick. I was hoping that I could wash away Alec’s burning stare and the dirt that came with dragging a hybrid through the forest. I managed to wash the dirt away, but not his burning gaze. One that followed me all the way back into the packhouse.
Once done, I changed into my pajamas, noting that I had discarded another pair right before I shifted.
I got into bed, careful not to disturb or wake up Aspen before settling in. I thought that I would struggle to find sleep like I did just a few hours ago. I was wrong, though. The moment my head hit the pillow, I was off. It took less than five minutes for me to fall into the dark abyss of sleep.

I was in the garde
