Chapter 12

I woke up in the morning staring at the pile at the end of my bed. I wasn’t the only one. Presents. Just like Christmas morning, except without the bows and wrapping paper. Mir stirred in her bed, her eyes foggy with sleep until she saw the stash. Then she bolted upright and stared just like the rest of us.

Well, it wasn’t like I expected these things to explode so I eased out of bed and went over to the pile to sort through it. Three pairs of workout pants and tops. Two pairs heavy-duty tan work pants. A cell phone, activated and loaded with numbers that I assumed were for my pack members. And best of all, a coffee maker and two bags of dark-roast coffee grounds.

I had no doubt who they’d come from, because the whole lot smelled like Jake. I did wonder how the heck he’d managed to sneak in the dorm room like a werewolf Santa Claus, deliver these gifts, and leave without anyone noticing.

“Something you wanna tell us, Mills?” Muffin Top asked with a grin.

“Nope,” I replied.

“Jake never gives presents,” Boobs announced. “Well, except for the year-end gifts that everyone gets.”

“Did you have sex with him?” Fox Face asked. “How many blow jobs did you have to give him?”

Muscles snorted. “Like any of us would need to be bribed to give Jake blow jobs. Heck, I’d probably pay him for the privilege.”

“And for a bunch of stuff I could get free at the compound store, if I ever had five minutes to go there and get them?” I scoffed. “I don’t think any of this warrants even one blow job.”

“Cell phones, coffee makers, and coffee aren’t free at the compound store,” Mir pointed out, scooting to the end of her bed to pick up the cell phone. “And Jake put his phone number in your favorites. That’s so romantic.”

I snatched the phone out of her hands. “I’ve got some special assignment things I’m doing. There was an issue the other day where I didn’t have a phone to report in on something. I’m sure this will all come out of my paycheck.”

No one looked convinced at my words.

“Seriously,” I told them. “It’s not like he gave me a flowers and edible underwear or anything. This is all work stuff. Totally non-romantic.”

“Seems pretty romantic for Jake,” Muscles chimed in.

“Think you’re still gonna owe him at least one blow job,” Fox Face added.

I couldn’t help but smile with uncharacteristic happiness as I put on my new workout clothing and brewed up my coffee. It was early, and I was still tired even though I’d skipped dinner and gone straight to bed. All the physical activity had worn me out, and I’d nearly fallen asleep doing sweeps around the compound with Robin trying to pick up the scent, or rather the lack of scent, from the hunters.

They’d come disturbingly close to the houses and dorms. It made my beast bristle to realize that right under the sensitive
