Nadia

“Hey, Nadia. You up?” Jackie asked as the door cracked open. I’d been back for hours, but I most definitely had not gotten any sleep.

“Hey, kind of.” I tried to sound tired, but really, I was nervous, angry, and stressed.

“Can we talk a little bit?” She was changed already somehow. There was no sign of the dirt that had been all over her when I saw her in the woods.

“Sure. Everything okay?” I wondered where she’d cleaned herself up. Her shower stuff was still in our room.

“Yeah. Things are good.” She sat down on the edge of my bed.

I searched her face in the low light coming from the lamp on her side of the room. I’d left that on for her, so she wouldn’t blind me with the overhead light. “What’s up?”

“We need to catch up. I have no clue what’s going on with you.”

“I can say the same thing about you.” Or rather I knew what was up with her. Well, some of it.

“Not much for me to share. My life is boring; you know that.” Her eyes twinkled when she said that. Was that her tell when she lied? Or was she having fun messing with me?

“That’s not true.”

“Sure it is. What exciting things have ever happened to me?” She put a hand to her chest. “But you. Exciting things always happen to you.”

I sat up, bolstering my pillows to make it easier. “Not true. My life is not exciting.”

“Ryan Grayson?” She patted my legs through the blanket. “That isn’t exciting?”

“Him as a wolf? As a person? I’m not following how that makes anything exciting for me.”

“Oh?” She laughed. “You still pretending there’s nothing going on there?” She was really doing this? She wanted to try to manipulate me? What I wondered was whether she thought she could recruit me, or was this part of getting on Ryan’s good side? Not that it would help. He was attracted to me, but that didn’t mean he was interested. He could get any girl he wanted.

“There is nothing going on between us.” At least not in the way Jackie meant. We were working together, but that wasn’t what she was getting at. Not to mention we were working together against her.

“Come on, Nadia. We’ve known each other nearly our entire lives. You can’t lie to me.” What a hypocrite. I could barely take it.

“I’m not lying. There is nothing going on between us.”

“Really?” There was an edge to her voice now. “So it’s Dameon, then?”

“No!” I yelled louder than I meant. This probably wasn’t playing it cool the way Dameon wanted us too. But then again, it was my normal reaction.

Jackie laughed. “Okay. Okay. I was just asking.”

“Well, stop. This is ridiculous. I’m not here to have boyfriends.” I would have been annoyed about that assumption even if I hadn’t seen her in the woods. Seeing her only made things worse.

“I never said anything about boyfriends.” She raised an eyebrow. “There is something called sex.”

“Ugh. Stop it. You know I don’t do casual sex.
