“You know, I’m your friend, not your personal secretary.” Jupiter’s voice drifted past the music pumping through Mia’s earbuds, barely resolving into words, but Mia got the gist: her best friend was sick of running interference between Mia and her mate.

Mia yanked out the earbuds and dialed down the blues music still thumping through them. “Just tell him I’m sick, and he should stop annoying you.”

“I am so not lying to a six foot three hunk of shifter muscle.” Jeeter tossed Mia’s phone and it landed next to her in the puff of blankets heaped around her.

Mia had spent most of the last twenty-four hours curled up on her old dorm bed, stewing, listening to music, sleeping, and generally trying to tune out the world and make it disappear.

So far, no luck.

She picked up the phone and glanced at the texts—there were over a hundred messages now, most from Lucas, some from Lev. Which was just Lucas’s attempt to get her to answer through his brother. It worked in a strange sort of way: when Lev started texting, Jupiter, in a fit of overly-dramatic frustration, grabbed Mia’s phone and stabbed at it, trying to turn it off. She inadvertently answered the text, but it was gibberish. Then she sent another saying they shouldn’t be alarmed, that Mia was alive and just being ornery. Then Jeeter started a whole conversation with Lev. After that, she just answered the texts as they came in.

Mia ignored them all.

She held out the phone to Jupiter. “Tell them I’ll be better and back to work on Monday.” Jupiter just gave her a dirty look. It was only Saturday night—that gave Mia another whole twenty-four hours before she would have to deal with the fact that her mate and her mother were polar opposites and both wanted her to live solely in their worlds. When the truth was she didn’t belong completely in either one.

Mia shrugged, tossed the phone to the foot of her bed, and plugged the earbuds back in. Jupiter marched across the room and yanked them back out.

“Hey!” Mia said. “Eardrums. I might need them in the future.”

“You need to get dressed.” Jupiter loomed over Mia’s little nest in the bed. Only then did Mia realize her roommate had already put on her outfit for the Tree Lighting party.

Mia snarled. “I’m perfectly dressed for tonight.” She had on flannel cat pajamas she had borrowed from Jupiter. Very stylish. But they were warm and all she would need for another evening of solitude in her dorm bed. “But if you’re going home with Colin tonight, please go to his place. That is not something I want to see.” The last thing she needed was a reminder of the alpha she turned down… the one she was sure would have married her in a heartbeat. Which would have been very convenient—the only problem being that she didn’t love Colin. She loved Lucas. And that thought just made her shoulders droop.

Jupiter had gone back to ignoring her, which was just as well.
