Bodey never responded. I wasn’t sure if I was hurt or relieved. Maybe a combination of the two. This was what I’d wanted, or that was what I kept telling myself.

When Theo came by last night, I’d already retired to bed. It was pathetic of me, but all day, the only thing I could think about was Bodey. No matter how much I cleaned or tried to listen to music. Every damn lyric came back to him.

I didn’t even eat dinner with the family, opting to take it into my room under the guise of being tired. Stevie got me to watch The Last Kingdom with her, but even then, I couldn’t stop thinking of him.

“What’s up with you?” Stevie asked the next day as she turned down the road to Trevor’s real estate office, about forty minutes away in Halfway, Oregon. Since Oxbow didn’t have a town due to us living in wildlife territory, we had to drive to this area to find jobs if we couldn’t work from home.

Trevor had bought a house and converted it into a business office at the edge of town, right up against the woods. If a pack emergency happened, they could shift without causing alarm.

Stevie continued, “You’ve been acting strange since you got back.”

The last thing I wanted to do was discuss Bodey with her. I ran my hands over my black slacks and smoothed out my flowy long-sleeved business shirt, admiring the contrasting colors. “It’s been surreal, leaving and then coming back. They were very nice to me there.”

“That one guy who demanded you leave with him was quite a looker.” She waggled her brows. “I feel like that might have something to do with it.”

“He’s got a fated mate out there.”

Her nose wrinkled. “Oh, damn.”

Thankfully, we pulled into the driveway, and I eagerly hopped out of the car. “Thanks for dropping me off.” I was ready to end this conversation.

“Yeah, yeah. We still have the ride home tonight, hussy.” She stuck out her tongue. “But I’ll come by as soon as I get off work.”

“See ya.” I hurried up the five steps to the door and entered what must have been the living room and was now the reception area.

To the left was a sizable, vacant wooden desk right across from an identical desk where a brunette human, who looked to be in her thirties, sat. She was on the phone, her nails tapping against the wood. That had to be my desk.

Hurrying over, I set down my black purse and took in the light-blue walls. Someone walked down the hallway and entered the room.

Charles.

“At least you’re on time, so that’s something.” He sneered and grabbed my arm. “Suzy is on desk duty. I have something else planned for you.”

His grip was too tight. Even dressed in a gray suit and looking completely in charge, he still had to dominate me.

He led me down the hallway to a kitchen on the right. It was small but modern, with a mustard-yellow backsplash.
