“Garret, you need to sleep.”

“No.”

“Then eat something. Rest, for God’s sake. You look like you’re about to pass out.”

Garret growled. Miranda fell back a step, her mouth dropping. “Did you just growl at me?”

Outside of being playful, he’d never growled at her before. Not like that, and the hybrid fox-wolf inside her head didn’t like it. It really didn’t like it. The creature wanted to cower and present its belly, and that instinct translated over just enough that Miranda almost backed down.

The side of her mind that was still human, bristled, angry and offended. Miranda clenched her fists.

Garret shut his eyes, rubbing his hand over his face. “No, I didn’t growl at you.”

“You totally just did.”

“I didn’t mean to growl at you then. I’m sorry!”

Though it came out sounding utterly insincere and impatient, when Garret lowered his hand and gazed at her, his blue eyes tired as never before, something seemed to soften, in his expression and his voice. “I’m sorry. I just…I’m really fucking stressed. I’m not trying to take it out on you.”

Miranda sighed. She stepped forward when he turned away from her. The urge to touch him was great, so she did, partly because she needed to comfort him, partly to comfort herself, and partly because, in that moment, Miranda needed to make sure for herself that he wouldn’t push her away.

He didn’t. Miranda couldn’t comfortably reach her arms around his whole body. She had to hang onto her middle and index fingers just to hold the position, but the inside of her chest heated considerably when Garret reached up and held onto her fingers, as though he wanted to hold her hand.

Miranda pressed her lips to Garret’s shoulder blade. The tight T-shirt prevented her from putting her mouth right over his skin, but she was certain that next swell of affection she felt came from him.

Sometimes the bond she shared with her lover because they were both shifters was amazing, but it also meant she felt his frustration, and his fury. The frustration she thought she could help with; the fury…there wasn’t much she could do about that. It was something Garret was going to have to battle on his own, because Miranda was not going to shift and start fighting him.

“I can’t sleep, Miranda. I can’t eat. I can’t do anything. He could be doing anything to her.”

Miranda shivered. She’d never heard that vulnerability in Garret’s voice before, and it was off putting.

So far, there had been some ups and downs in their mating, though when Dennis had tried to kill her, Miranda had thought that was the worst it could ever get. When Garret helped her to safely transition from a human to a shifter, Miranda had assumed the worst was over, that she could have her happily ever after. The only thing she’d had to worry about lately was visiting her mother and making sure the staff was treating her all right. With Garret’s payments and generous donations, she hadn’t had to worry too much at all, except for when her mother might pass on.
