CHAPTER FIVE

“Pardon the mess,” Ginnifer said, as she led Astrid into her room. “You know how I am. If I clean, I won’t be able to find anything.”

Although she’d never seen the room before, Astrid could have easily identified it as Ginnifer’s. Clothes were strewn about from corner to corner and the shelves were unevenly crammed with books and loose sheets of notebook paper. Ginnifer picked up a chair that had fallen over and kicked dirty laundry out of the way to clear a path to the bed.

“I’m pretty sure Zane has given up entirely on ever having a clean room.”

Astrid recognized her sister’s habit of making small talk when she was nervous, something they’d both inherited from their grandmother. She remained silent and solemn, waiting for an opening to speak.

“So, details please. What the hell are you doing with Erik? Do you have any idea how dangerous that guy is?”

And there it was. “Yeah, I do. He and his wolves killed the rescue crew I came here with.”

Ginnifer’s eyes widened. “Rescue crew?”

“Did you think I came up here to ‘immerse myself in werewolf culture’?” she asked, using the very words her sister had used before she’d left on her first expedition to Nunavut. “I came to bring you home.”

“Astrid, I…” she motioned down to her belly, which looked ready to pop.

“Is that why you came back here, because he got you pregnant? And my God, is that some sort of werewolf thing, because you weren’t pregnant when I saw you two months ago.”

“It’s been almost three months since I left, and I was pregnant. I was hiding it. And I didn’t come back because I was pregnant, I came back because I love Zane.”

“You love him?” Astrid asked. She put her hands on her hips, knowing full well that it made her look like their mother. “I saw the documentary. When you first met Zane, he held you against your will. He threatened to kill you. How could you possibly fall in love with him?”

That would be as stupid as Astrid falling in love with Erik.

“He didn’t know me then, but we spent a lot of time together while I was filming. Yes, you saw him being a bit of a jerk in the beginning, but you also saw him come around towards the end. You know he’s a good guy.”

In The Wolves of Nunavut, Zane had eventually let Ginnifer go and he agreed to let her film the pack. From there, Ginnifer had shadowed the pack for weeks, though the film had become increasingly focused on Zane. He had opened up to Ginnifer about his struggles as an alpha and his aspirations for the future. By the end, it had felt like there was a connection between the two of them, but Astrid had believed it was purely the work of good editing and Ginnifer’s desire to make a compelling documentary. After all, Ginnifer had hardly mentioned the alpha when she returned and she hadn’t seemed at all like she was pining over him.
