Sleep should have come easily.It always did.My body was trained for it—disciplined, controlled, efficient. When I chose to rest, I did.No interruptions.No weakness.No distractions.But tonight—Nothing worked.I lay still on my bed, staring at the ceiling, listening to the silence that filled the Alpha’s house.It wasn’t peaceful.It was wrong.The air felt heavier than usual, thick with something I couldn’t name. Every shadow stretched too far. Every sound—every creak of wood, every shift in the walls—felt amplified.Alive.Watching.My wolf paced restlessly beneath my skin, agitated in a way I had never experienced before.Unsettled.Alert.Focused on one thing.Her.The bond pulsed steadily, like a second heartbeat that refused to sync with my own. No matter how many times I tried to suppress it, ignore it, control it—It pushed back.Persistent.Demanding.Pulling me toward her.I exhaled slowly, closing my eyes.This was unacceptable.I did not lose control.Not to instinct.
