What an asshole! Haley slammed the door so hard it shuddered on its hinges. It would serve Bard right if she broke it. He had a lot of nerve grabbing her.

Again.

The mudroom was dark, but light from the moon streamed inside. Through the window, fat snowflakes drifted to the ground. It was a peaceful scene and a sharp contrast to the fury simmering under her skin.

She turned and stared at the door, her temples throbbing. It was quite the pattern, his habit of gripping her chin and snarling in her face any time they rode in a car together. “From now on I’m taking an Uber,” she muttered.

After a few more seconds scowling at the door, she turned and toed off her boots. This time she didn’t bother putting them on the mat. Let them leak all over the place. He deserved it for being an arrogant dick. Maybe the water would ruin his floors. Maybe it would get under the boards and warp them and he’d trip every time he came inside.

An evil smile curved in her mind. He’d think of her every time it happened. She’d be long gone and still getting revenge.

The door swung open and Bard’s body filled the frame.

She froze, her heart pounding.

His gaze went to her boots.

Fresh anger made her clench her fists. If he said a single word about the floor, she was going to—

“I’m sorry,” he said, meeting her eyes.

Wait. He was apologizing?

“I’m apologizing,” he said.

“Okay.”

Silence fell.

She waited for him to say something else, but he just stood there, a small frown between his black brows. Confusion swept her. Did he expect her to say more? Congratulate the Alpha on admitting he was wrong about something? Slow clap or offer him a cookie?

Just as the pause grew uncomfortable, he came all the way into the mudroom and closed the door. “My wolf is . . . unsettled.”

Her ire faded. It wasn’t the best excuse in the world, but it made sense. He was probably exhausted from work and, while he probably wouldn’t admit it, he’d been in obvious pain on the drive home. Her own wolf could make her lash out when she was tired.

She tucked an errant curl behind her ear. “I understand.”

He gave a short nod.

Before another awkward silence could descend, she jerked a thumb over her shoulder. “I’ll just head upstairs.”

“No.”

“What?” She felt a bemused smile curve her lips. “Why not?”

His frown deepened. “We talked about this. I want to keep an eye on you for a few hours.”

Oh hell no. Not after his little temper tantrum in the car. Apologies were great but she had no desire to be around his unsettled wolf. “I’m fine.”

“Maybe, but I’ll be the judge of that.” He took a step toward her.

She held her ground, even though every part of her wanted to inch backwards. “I appreciate it, but I’m truly okay. Werewolf, remember?”

“Concussions don’t care what species you are, Miss Michaels.”

Ugh. She couldn’t decide which version of him was more insufferable, the Alpha or the doctor.
