Chapter Five

Rosie came to on the sofa. For a millisecond she wondered what the hell she was doing there—then she remembered. The disappearing dog. The naked man. The dream. Except… apparently it hadn’t been a dream.

She struggled to a sitting position. From there she had a line of sight into the kitchen. Back in human form, Sawyer was on hands and knees with his back to her—mercifully, he’d wrapped a sheet around his waist—cleaning up the spilt milk. It had been a carton, so there was no broken glass, but the impact with the hard floor must have split the packaging.

“Hey,” she called, “I’ll do that.”

Sawyer looked over his shoulder at her. He smiled. “Don’t be silly. I’m almost done now. Just stay there for a bit longer. You’ve had a big shock and I want to be sure there are no lasting effects from where you hit the floor. You might need to see a doctor.”

“I’m fine.”

“Please,” he insisted. “Stay put a little longer, just while I finish cleaning up this mess. I feel bad enough as it is, without there being permanent damage, or a concussion.” He returned to his task, effectively ending the conversation.

Rosie slumped back onto the cushions with a sigh. Actually, she did feel a little dizzy. But then who wouldn’t, having discovered that the adorable dog they’d adopted and had already started to love was actually a supernatural creature that they’d believed only existed in films and books?

She didn’t realize she’d slipped into a doze until movement beside her pulled her back into consciousness.

“Here.” Sawyer handed her a glass of water. “Drink that. Would you like me to make you another coffee? The original one is probably cold.” He started to get up, but she put her free hand on his arm.

“No, it’s all right. Don’t go anywhere. I…” She grimaced. “I have questions. Millions of the bloody things, rushing around my brain at a hundred miles an hour. I just can’t get my head around this.”

He gave a gentle shrug. “Understandable. It’s been traumatic for me, and I know what I am, so I can’t even begin to imagine how you feel. So… ask away.”

“What?” She blinked, desperately trying to clear the foggy, confused feeling in her head. It was like a hangover. Except she hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol. “Oh… right. Sorry. Um, I don’t know where to start.” She thought for a moment. “I guess at the beginning makes the most sense. What the hell were you doing in the shelter? Seems like the last place one of your… kind… would want to be.”

He smiled sadly. “You could say that. Trust me, it was a mistake ever getting found by that bloody warden. I know he was only doing his job, but I’ve never been so scared in my life. I just didn’t know what to do! Basically, he came across me as I was heading back home after a night running in my dog form. It had been a full moon and I was exhausted, which is the main reason the warden managed to grab me.
