Chapter Twelve

There had been days, Shilo reflected, when she wondered if there was really any point in getting out of bed. This was one of them.

As tired as she’d been, she’d slept poorly, dreamed more than she should’ve, and now she felt as worn out as she had been when she’d climbed into bed to start with. The good news was that she’d gotten over her embarrassment—mostly. The bad news was she was harboring a lot of regrets.

Most of those had to do with trotting off to the city at all. Sure, she’d been lonesome, but she was most of the time anyway. It was something a person could get used to like just about everything else. She’d also been reasonably content, though, and now she wasn’t.

If it wasn’t just her luck to run into a pack of heart-stoppingly sexy men that she couldn’t have! It would’ve been better, she thought wryly, not to have had such a feast for the senses dangled before her at all. Now she was really hungry! Before, she’d just been vaguely restless.

Sighing, she threw the covers back and got up. She’d get used to it again. It just took working at it and she was always depressed when she came back from one of her little excursions anyway.

She was just a little more down than usual.

It had been unnerving to find herself in the middle of a pack of lycans. It had been even more unsettling whenever she’d caught any of those big, dangerous males looking at her hungrily. It had been kind of nice, too, though. She hadn’t had a lot of opportunities to enjoy that part of being a woman—being desired, even if it was male lycans instead of human males—even if she knew it was more because they were just plain horny because of that ‘scent’ quirk than because she was all that desirable to them.

It was unfortunate that she was off-limits as far as they were concerned, because the truth was she was just plain horny. She would’ve been willing to close her mind to her qualms about it and go for it if any of them had been willing to—especially Dante.

“What a man, what a man!” She sighed. She could count on one finger the number of men that had ever had that effect on her.

Uttering another deep sigh, she went into the bathroom and performed her ‘start of the day’ routine. Feeling slightly more refreshed and alert, she dressed in a pair of worn jeans and a knit top and went into the kitchen to make coffee. The cats were mewing at the back door. Opening the sink cabinet, she grabbed a scoop of cat food and filled their dishes and then filled another bowl with water. They charged through the door the moment she cracked it open and sailed for the food dishes.

Shaking her head in amusement as they growled at each other and swapped bowls—as if each of them was convinced that whatever was in the other bowls was better than what they had—she closed the door and fixed herself a cup of coffee.
