I laid my heavy head flat against my massive front paws and listened.The old pipes inside the apartment walls groaned and rattled in a constant rhythm.The steady drum of water hitting the plastic shower floor echoed down the short hallway.It was a very soothing sound.I closed my eyes and let out a long, slow breath, feeling the tension finally leave my thick muscles.My dark body took up a huge portion of the cheap living room rug, but I was perfectly comfortable.For the first time all day, my mind was actually quiet and still.I did not care about Arthur or his angry pureblood daughter.I did not care about the human board of directors waiting for their precious budget reports at the office.All I cared about was the gentle hum of the shower and the knowledge that Jett was safe inside the next room.I flicked my left ear toward the hallway, tracking every tiny noise he made.I heard a plastic bottle snap open, followed by the soft sound of soap lathering against wet skin.I neve

I woke up to the loud sound of a garbage truck backing down the narrow alley.The morning sun was shining brightly through my cheap plastic blinds.I sat up slowly and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.The living room was quiet.The massive black wolf was gone.I looked over at the window.The heavy glass was pulled down tight, but the rusted latch was flipped open.A few coarse black hairs were stuck to the fabric of the couch cushions.The faint smell of pine needles and fresh rain still lingered in the warm air.I pressed my hand against the couch where the beast had been sleeping.The fabric was cold.I felt a weird pang of disappointment in my chest.I really thought the animal might stay a little longer.But despite the empty room, I actually felt rested for the first time in a week.The deep ache in my lower back was gone.The terrible morning sickness didn't hit me when I finally stood up.I walked into the kitchen and threw away the bloody plastic wrap from the steak.I took a

I kept typing, but my fingers felt incredibly stiff.Ren was still sitting in the spare chair right next to my desk.His pale eyes were burning a hole in the side of my face, tracking every single movement I made.The silence in the small anteroom was thick and suffocating.It felt like all the air was being sucked right out of the space, leaving me lightheaded and on edge.Suddenly, his desk phone started ringing loudly from inside his private office.He ignored it completely and kept watching me.It rang a second time, and then a third."You should probably answer that," I muttered, staring hard at my computer screen."Let it ring," he said, his voice low and calm.But a few seconds later, Silas walked back into the room.The board member looked frantic, his tie slightly crooked and his face flushed."Ren, the marketing team is threatening to walk out," Silas warned, keeping a safe distance from the desk. "You have to come down to the conference room right now."Ren did not even loo

The door to Ren's office clicked shut, leaving me alone in the quiet anteroom.I stared at the wood for a long moment before letting out a shaky breath.He told me to take it easy, but resting did not make my stomach feel any better.As the morning dragged on, the faint nausea I woke up with twisted into a constant, churning knot.I tried sipping some cold water from my thermos, but even the taste of the plastic made my throat close up.By noon, the sickness hit me so hard I had to push my chair back and literally run down the hall.I pushed the bathroom door open, rushed into the furthest stall, and dropped to my knees.I threw up the small amount of tea and fruit I managed to eat earlier.My chest heaved, and cold sweat dripped down the back of my neck.I flushed the toilet and leaned my forehead against the cool metal of the stall divider to catch my breath.This wasn't just morning sickness anymore.It was an all-day nightmare.I washed my face at the sink and went back to my desk

The sky outside my window was turning dark.The streetlights down on the avenue flickered on one by one.I sat behind my desk and looked through the open doorway.Jett was standing in the anteroom, packing his canvas bag to go home.He folded his jacket and placed it carefully inside the bag.He looked exhausted, but his color was a little better after he finally ate lunch.He zipped the bag shut and slung the heavy strap over his shoulder.A sharp spike of unease hit my chest.It was getting late, and he was about to walk out into the city all alone.Rosalie was still somewhere in town.She made a massive fool of herself in this exact room a few days ago, and she held a deep grudge against Jett for it.Purebloods were incredibly petty when their pride was damaged.They did not just let things go and move on.My inner wolf wanted to grab the car keys from my desk drawer.I wanted to put him in my passenger seat and drive him home myself.I wanted to lock his apartment door and stand g
