Lenorre’s driving improved. I wasn’t sure if it was because I’d told her to drive more carefully, or because we were trying to look like good citizens, and not a vampire driving with a werewolf passenger. She made a left onto a street I didn’t recognize.

“You’re going in the opposite direction of my apartment,” I said.

“We are not going back to your apartment.”

I tilted my head to look at her. “Where?”

I knew she wasn’t going to the Two Points. In order to get to the Two Points we had to hit the service road and go farther north into the city. We would’ve taken the service road and gone south to get to my apartment.

“Where I live.” She stopped as the light turned red and looked at me.

“Why?”

“Do you really want your neighbors seeing you thus?”

She had a point. I settled back in my seat.

“Rosalin will meet us there. She will bring some of your clothes.”

I stared at her in disbelief. “I’m staying the night?”

She looked genuinely perplexed. “Why not? How long will it be until you are able to shift back?”

Instead of focusing on the “why not,” I answered the other question. “I could shift now.”

She gave a reserved smile. “Are you bragging at long last?”

“No. The only reason I’m not is because of the side effects.” I didn’t always experience side effects, but I kept that part to myself. It was usually only when I forced myself to shift back after a full moon shift that the side effects kicked in. The body aches and tiredness were similar to having the flu, and so not my idea of fun.

“Most lycanthropes cannot shift so soon.” She glanced at me. “I have known only a few that were capable of such a feat.”

“Are you saying I’m abnormal?” I growled.

“I never said such a thing.” Her voice was more than calm. It was damn near soothing. “I am only stating that you have an ability few possess.”

I grumbled unhappily, “I can go home later.”

“You are covered in blood and need a bath. By the time you shift back, you will be too tired to go home, correct?” The dark curve of her brows raised dramatically against paleness of her skin.

I’d forgotten about the blood. I lifted my hand. The blood had dried around my face and neck, leaving my fur stiff and clumped with it. I tried to see the wound at my hip beyond the matted fur. It was already healed. I turned in my seat as much as the seat belt would allow, trying to examine the wounds high up on my arms. One was long and jagged, with blood still seeping out of the opening. The other arm wasn’t that bad, but this one looked angry. It was deep enough that it would take longer to heal. I ran my tongue across the wound, slipping it gently along the edge of the jagged cut. It stung, and I did my best to ignore the pain. The sweet metallic taste of blood helped me to slip into that quiet place within.
