The three days between Monday and Friday passed painfully slow. Theo was completely enamored by our house guest while I sat in the shadows, waiting until they finally grew tired of each other’s perpetual presence. They never did.

She and Theo sparred outside with Bodhi’s packmates while I watched from the porch sipping hot cocoa. Theo laughed as Bodhi hopped on his back and pulled on his hair. Her pack ran around them, pushing and tripping over each other.

A guard was standing close to me, and I reached my hand towards him for help. He looked shocked and flustered before he rushed to my side, helping me stand and giving me my crutches. Theo stopped playing long enough to see me go inside, and his face was no longer happy.

Bodhi continued to climb on his back, telling him to move forward like a racehorse. His eyes searched through the windows of the house to find me. We met eyes as I sat in my sanctuary.

It’s not that I wanted to take him away from Bodhi. I knew he was mine, but the thought of Bodhi’s hands on him made me itch. His skin should only know my touch. My fingers were supposed to be the only ones wrapped in his short hair. Only my breath should touch his neck.

I shook off his gaze and settled on my desk. I wanted to call Caddy, wanted to tell him all about Bodhi and Theo, and how he should do his best to ignore her, but he was already on his way to us. I tried to read my books and found that my eyes trailed over the words, but I wasn’t actually reading. My mind was elsewhere.

I tried to remember a time my mind wasn’t consumed with thoughts about Theo, where he was, what he was doing, if he was thinking about me, and if he wanted my touch as much as I wanted his. I couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment I had begun to love him, but the fire in my lungs when his image danced across my mind confirmed it.

Theo shouted my name loudly from downstairs. I looked out the window and saw him with his hands cupped around his mouth, hollering my name. He motioned for me to come down, and I hobbled to the window in confusion. A car was pulling up, one from my old pack, and my heart leapt into my lungs.

Caddy was here.

I climbed down the stairs as fast as I could with crutches in my hands and flung the door open.

“Caddy!” I screamed happily as I walked quickly to the edge of the porch. I began down the steps, excitement filling me, but Caddy wasn’t looking at me.

He was staring at Bodhi with the same twinkling look in his eyes that once filled Theo’s.

I froze. Theo was looking back and forth between the two of them with realization and comfortable support.

“Are you kidding me?” I mumbled, forgetting I was in the presence of wolves with magnified hearing.
