CHAPTER FIVE

Even when Lisa wasn’t in her wolf form, there were certain perks to having supernatural wiring. For one thing, her nose gave her information that her eyes and ears didn’t.

She could see anger on Colt’s face and in his confrontational body language, and hear it in his thunderously deep voice. But anger wasn’t what she smelled. She was beginning to discern the nuances in scents the longer she spent around wolves and in her wolf form. Every strong emotion had its own hormone bouquet, and what Colt was feeling wasn’t just anger, though there was a bit of that there. There was something else that she couldn’t quite put a figurative finger on, but it gave her pause…so she gave him space.

She wasn’t going to try to psychoanalyze him. Every wolf she knew was some degree of fucked up—herself included—and wolves generally weren’t so great at verbalizing what was wrong. It’d be too deep-seated and sewn into their personalities. But her parents had taught her to speak up, at least in her own house, and to pull up the people around her. If everyone around her were happy, she’d be happier, too.

She and Colt were dancing around each other, tiptoeing over actual discourse, and discussing nothing about their relationship. She’d stormed into his house thinking he needed to be fixed—and maybe he did—but she’d given little thought to why he needed to be fixed. Only that he did. Then she’d managed to piss him off in a way she still hadn’t been able to figure out. It wasn’t because she was bossy, but there’d been some other trigger. Something she’d said, but she couldn’t determine what.

After a month of avoiding Colt at every turn, and him doing the same by picking up all those overtime shifts he’d claimed before to not want, she met Ashley at the coffee shop in Norseton. They settled at a table by the window, and Lisa propped her laptop bag against her chair legs. She’d hoped to get a bit of work done outside of the house. Colt supposedly had the day off, so if she were the reason he didn’t want to be at home, she’d clear away for a while.

Ashley pushed a swath of her dark hair back from her face and tented her fingers. “So, how are your sisters?”

Lisa let out a long breath and swirled the coffee stirrer through her cappuccino’s foamy top. “Hanging in there the best they can. Their alpha keeps stopping by the house to supposedly check up on them when my parents aren’t home, and my folks usually aren’t. They’ve got five jobs between the two of them. They’re still trying to dig themselves out of the hole. That sleazebag wouldn’t let them file for bankruptcy earlier this year.”

“Because the trustee would question why so much of their money was going to the alpha in dues?”

“Yep.” Adam may be the only alpha Lisa knew of who didn’t collect dues. Mrs. Carbone did oversee a wolf fund
