Sylvie held the mug of steaming tea in her hands and a knock on her door brought her out of her chair. She ran through the kitchen, her heart pounding, and opened it to find… Roman.

Not Paul.

I wish it was Paul.

Her almost-uncle strolled into the kitchen, kicking the snow off his boots. “Well, the tow truck is here, so the noise should go away soon.” He pulled the door closed behind him. “Then maybe you can get some sleep.”

“How is he?” She tried to keep the hopeful note out of her voice, but it slipped in.

“Paul?” One of Roman’s brows shot up. “Caleb took him home.”

“So he isn’t coming here?”

“He’ll stop by in the morning, on his way to work.” The big wolf grabbed a glass from beside the sink and filled it with water. “Sorry, I’m parched, do you mind?”

She waved at him, but he’d already started drinking. He’d meant Caleb would stop by on his way to the restaurant.

But what about Paul?

Sylvie had considered turning him so many times over the last two years, since she first felt the magick pull. And if she’d ever gotten close enough that she could tell him about her own wolf, she would’ve given him the choice, just like any mate.

But Caleb had warned her off, practically with a death threat, and the hope of turning him had only ever been a dream after that. Still, she’d memorized the spell, in case Caleb ever changed his mind.

“He said he talked to you about leaving.” Roman set the glass back beside the sink and wiped his mouth.

She backed up to her chair, nodding, trying to keep her watery eyes as low as she could manage. “I’ve been packing.”

“Do you have somewhere to go?” He leaned against the counter. “I know Maggie and I won’t stay here forever, and we made some good friends in Choaca. Maybe you could come with us.”

“No.” Sylvie wiped at her cheek. “I’ll go back home. My mother probably hasn’t even cleaned out my room.”

“I thought it’d been three years since you were in Wyoming.”

“It has.” She paced her breathing, trying to keep the emotion from surfacing. “But she always thought I’d come back.”

“And this place?”

“It belongs to the Gallagher business.” She fisted her hand around the hot mug. “Sean will probably just clean it out and use it for tourists again.”

There was an awkward pause, but Sylvie didn’t dare look up. One stray piece of eye contact, and she couldn’t be certain she’d be able to hold the tears back.

“I wish it didn’t have to be like this, but when Caleb gets a bee in his bonnet, there’s no stopping him,” Roman said, coming across the kitchen toward her. He stood awkwardly in front of her and she tried to smile and release him from his duty, but he pulled her into his arms in a big bear hug.

Sylvie bit her lip to keep the tears back, even though the contact felt like a balm to her wounded soul.
