snug. Cassandra's breasts might be fuller, which explained why the T-shirt was just a bit loose.

Storme's lips tightened. "Would you like to have them back?" she asked with false sweetness.

"You could wash them first." Cassandra shrugged. "I hope you wear panties."

Storme breathed in deeply. The other girl was being damned catty for a Wolf Breed.

"Actually I don't," Storme drawled. "But I'll make sure the jeans get a nice rinse."

"Just keep them." Cassandra straightened, her gaze suddenly more intent, sharper.

"I didn't mean to make you feel inferior, I was simply upset that Styx didn't ask for the clothing."

Was this woman deranged?

"You can have the clothes back," Storme assured her.

Cassandra shook her head. "I have more you can borrow if you need them. There are few Breed females here at Haven that will meet your size requirements. I would be closest."

Storme watched her warily. For a moment, Cassandra Sinclair looked like any teenager in the world, but she wasn't. Storme had never realized how difficult it must be for the Breeds to maintain the reality of what they were in the face of the illusion they presented to the world.

"You're watching me like Nikki watches her little specimen slides under a microscope," Cassandra laughed.

"You look a lot different than your pictures," Storme said quietly. "A little shorter, and definitely prettier."

The pictures the Council had of her gave her the appearance of cold intelligence.

Black-and-white, they showed her with her hair pulled back from her face, her blue eyes appearing paler than they actually were.

Here, in real life, she looked fragile, vulnerable and full of energy. For a moment, she acted as though she weren't entirely certain of something, but she didn't look cold or dangerous and she sure as hell didn't look as though she would survive the cell labs Storme remembered from the Omega compound where she had been raised.

"Well thank you for the compliment, I guess." The smile Cassandra flashed her was at once uncomfortable as well as warm.

"So I guess Styx had things to do today," Cassandra said and sighed. "We've been looking for this really cool, rare chocolate and I finally found it. It arrived today along 99
