“Here’s your room, dear,” the witch said as Zoe and I walked down the hall.

I skidded to a stop and turned to see what she was talking about. My room was at the very end of the hall. The woman was looking at Zoe, not me.

Shaking my head, I said, “No way. She’s staying in my room with me. She’s my friend. My stylist. It’ll be fine.”

The witch gave me a placating smile but didn’t back down. “Unfortunately, only the female contestant is allowed to sleep in that room.” She held a hand up to hold off a question, even though I hadn’t even opened my mouth. “And before you ask, this isn’t sexism. In the seasons when it’s a single male reject and a bunch of female wolves trying to win him over, it’s the same thing. The main contestant always sleeps alone.”

Zoe crossed her arms and cocked her head. “Always?”

The witch rolled her eyes. “You know what I mean. Some trysts may happen during filming, that’s to be expected—but no crew members or support staff are to stay with the lead contestant.” She turned back to me. “And even though she’s your friend, she’s still designated as your stylist. Therefore, she’s considered support staff.”

“No,” I said firmly. “Absolutely not. I want her with me. We only got here a few hours ago, and I’d like to have someone who knows me to help me get settled.”

I wasn’t asking, I was demanding. The witch could hear it in my voice. I did everything but growl at her. I would not be dissuaded. I’d fight the bitch right there in the hallway if I needed to.

The woman looked ready to argue further, but something in my face must have told her to think again. Finally, the woman sighed with annoyance, then glanced up and down the corridor as if she was afraid someone would hear her.

She held up a finger. “One night, got it? Since it’s your first night, she can stay with you to get you comfortable, but after tonight, you’re on your own. I’ll have to tell the director and Von about this, but I’ll explain you were”—she looked me up and down scornfully—“being difficult.”

I gave her a sickly-sweet smile. “Thanks for that. Come on, Zoe.” I grabbed my friend by the arm and hauled her down the hall, leaving the witch behind us.

“Her magic smells weird,” Zoe whispered with a crinkled nose.

“She probably needs a good lay,” I said absently as I pulled her into my room.

Once the door was locked, I let out a low growl and stomped my foot on the ground. My childish display didn’t give me the catharsis I wanted. Instead, deciding to take a page out of the angry-man textbook, I punched the solid wood door. My strengthened shifter bones didn’t break, and the skin didn’t tear, but it still hurt like a bitch. Not only did it hurt, but I felt no better. Why did men do that? Punching inanimate objects was so stupid.
