Two hours later, we had music playing out of a speaker while everyone was hanging out in the open yard area behind the townhouses. Zed was grilling, and Teagan was playing football with the rest of the guys minus Rocco while I sat at a plastic picnic table.

My back was against the edge of the table while my legs were sprawled out in front of me, mostly-bare thanks to the jean shorts I had on. The sun felt nice on my skin, and the light breeze kept the yard from getting too hot.

Listening to the sizzle of the grill and chatting with Zed about a chef he worked with, I felt at peace in a way I hadn’t in a long time.

My eyes caught on a glint of gold, and I turned my head to see Rocco crossing the yard, his hands tucked in the pockets of his basketball shorts. His hair was longer than I remembered and messy as shit, but he was there.

I was glad he’d decided to come, even though he’d made it clear he wasn’t planning on it over the phone earlier.

I smiled at him, and he gave me a faint smil

    I spent the rest of the day organizing my stuff. The rest of the pack left me alone, by some blessed miracle, though Teagan sent me half a dozen texts checking to make sure I didn’t want to go to graduation. After the sixth time, I assured her that I would rather rip my fingernails off, and she got the message.When I’d finished putting away the last of my things, I glanced at the time on my phone and grimaced.Graduation was starting.It felt weird not to be there, even if I didn’t necessarily want to be. Whether it was my anxiety or just my issues, I felt sort of guilty about ditching out.“What do you say we head out and grab some sheets for my bed, and some ice cream?” I asked Rocky, scratching his head.He was a surprisingly good companion, following me around and licking me an insane number of times, snorting at my stupid jokes, and giving me his wolfy grin whenever I teased him.Though he wasn’t any

    Zed shut the door behind us unceremoniously, but I wasn’t nervous about being alone with him. Wolf-Rocco had already agreed to eat anyone who tried to mess with me.“Here.” Zed handed me the impact driver. I took it and was surprised by the weight. That thing was heavier than it looked.“Thanks.” I followed him to the bed frame that looked like it was pretty much already put together. The gray wood headboard would cover part of the wall, then stretch under the bed and around to the front of it. It was pretty, and the mattress would be massive compared to the twin I was used to sleeping on. I’d had my room for three of my four years in college, but if I wanted a bigger mattress I would’ve had to pay for it myself, and that wasn’t in the budget in any way, shape, or form.“You just fit it into the screw and pull the trigger back. It’ll turn on, and screw it in.” Zed gestured to a few screws that had

    Zed came walking up to the open door, his tool bag dangling from his fingers. He nodded toward me, not bothering with a friendly smile. I appreciated the neutrality, honestly.“How much shit do we have to build?” he checked.“A lot,” I admitted.“Good. Elliot needs to take his anger out on some screws.” Zed patted Elliot’s shoulder.I snorted as Elliot gave his buddy a lighthearted shove. I’d only known Elliot for a few hours and could already tell that he didn’t have a damned ounce of anger inside his gigantic body.“I’ll start in Rocco’s room, you take the spare?” Elliot asked Zed, as the two men headed up the stairs without so much as a backward glance. They were treating me normally, and it meant a hell of a lot to me.“Alright. I’m sending the wolf your way if he attacks me for her room smelling like me, though,” Zed grunted.I felt infinitely better as the guys vanished up the stairs, leaving me without making me uncomfortable a

    “Yep.”I nodded. “From what I’ve gathered, he’s got zero interest in anything to do with all of this.” I gestured to my body.“That’s weird.” Dax headed up the stairs. Rather than following him and staring at his ass while Rocco growled at me, I leaned up against the couch, scratching the wolf’s head while I waited for the other guy to return.He came back down the stairs empty-handed but still frowning. “He’s been having a rough time, but I wouldn’t have thought he’d go this far.”I shrugged, eyes on the wolf as Dax grabbed another, larger box without a problem. “Doesn’t seem like a stretch to think he’d want to just be friends with his mate.”Dax shook his head as he started back up the stairs. “You don’t understand,” he told me, then disappeared for a moment. He continued as he came back down. “A werewolf waits for hi

    I was sweating balls by the time I finally got all of my shit up to the room that was going to be mine, and was wheezing like I was dying, too. The last thing I wanted to do was walk back down the stairs to grab Rocco’s clothes, so I took a break by hanging my shirts up in the closet. There were already about two hundred hangers packed into that thing, and while I only had enough tops to fit ten percent of those hangers, I did appreciate the thoughtfulness human Rocco seemed to have put into preparing the space for me.While I hung shit, my mind went back to the tampons and floral shampoo.Were those for me too?When I asked Wolf-Rocco, he confirmed my suspicion. And honestly, I was kind of touched.Human-Rocco might have been grumpy at the party, and he might have had less than zero interest in looking at me or sharing a bed with me, but he had still gotten his house ready for me. He’d made sure I wouldn’t run out of toilet paper, or ta
