Chapter 20

Becca sat at the island in the kitchen, nursing a cup of coffee. She had woken up before everyone else and carefully made her way to the kitchen. Steve snorted a little as she walked past but quickly went back to sleep. Guess I’m going to have get used to that. Even asleep, his wolf can still smell me. Quietly rummaging through the kitchen, she found what she needed and filled the pot. She still couldn’t believe it. Finding Steve out here in the middle of nowhere was one thing, finding out that he was living with characters that belonged to one of her dad’s fantasy novels was something else entirely. She took another sip when Ayla came into the kitchen.

The elf was wearing a peach colored pajama set and headed for the coffee pot. Her long brown hair cascaded in loose waves down her back and bounced as she moved. Becca tried her best but she just couldn’t stop staring at Ayla’s long tapering ears. Noticing her gaze, Ayla went to the bar stool beside her and gestured if she could sit. Becca nodded, slightly embarrassed by being caught staring at the elf, and Ayla took her seat next to her.

Ayla took a long slow sip of the coffee. “Mmm...that hits the spot. Thanks for putting the pot on.”

Becca slowly smiled back, her cheeks still slightly blushed. “Thanks. It was the least I could do for you guys.”

Ayla took another sip of her coffee and set the mug down. “You don’t have to worry if you think you’ve offended me. I’m guessing until last night, the that the most of the other races you’ve seen were werewolves. Suddenly walking into a fantasy novel always takes getting used to.” She smiled back at Becca. “You’re not the first to stare at these ears you know.”

Becca cupped her mug with her hands and looked down at the steaming liquid. “It’s a lot to take in. I’ve known about Steve and werewolves since his wolf first manifested. It took some getting used to but it’s not a big deal anymore.”

“You haven’t lived with one yet have you?”

“Oh?” Becca asked genuinely curious.

“Better make sure that Steve washes his feet after a full moon run. Nothing worse than getting the whole house clean only to have muddy pawprints everywhere. Then there’s the howling at all hours of the night.”

Becca looked slightly shocked. Ayla grinned, “I’m just kidding. The only time Kurt howls is when I make him.”

Becca laughed hard at that. She quickly covered her mouth to not wake the others.

“I haven’t known Steve long but I could tell just how much he loves you. Did he mention what he’s doing all the way out here?”

“Not really. We snuggled in the backseat and I fell asleep. Between the escape from wherever we were and the stress involved combined with the joy of finding my fiancé out here, I think my body shut down.”

“I’m not surprised. In that case, we’ll take it one thing at a time.
