Chapter Fifteen

Breathing deep, I gave Carl a small smile that probably looked about as sickly as I felt.

Noah hadn’t stopped staring at me, concern filling his expression. “Are you all right, Scrubs?”

I nodded, although even that gesture made me feel a little woozy. The room seemed to keep moving in my periphery even after my head stopped, and I blinked hard.

“I’ll help her get cleaned up.”

Jackson wrapped an arm around my shoulders, which still prickled with goose bumps. I couldn’t seem to get warm, even though the air outside had been hot and dry like always.

He guided me toward the bathroom, and I walked on numb legs. When we reached it, he perched me on the closed lid of the toilet and left, returning a moment later with a change of clothes.

“I got a long-sleeved shirt. It’ll help you warm up.” He tugged me to my feet again, his usually laughing face serious as he gazed at me.

I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the full-length mirror on the back of the closed door and blanched. I looked like a horror show. Despite Molly’s attempts to help me clean up, my mouth and face were still stained with streaks of drying blood.

“Nice dress.” Jackson grinned at me, a little of his usual spirit returning. “Is it new?”

A choked laugh bubbled up my throat. “I bought it today. You like it?”

“Yeah.” He cocked his head, considering the bloodstained yellow dress. “It’s like ‘beachy badass.’ Is that a thing?”

I laughed again. The sound was almost manic, but it felt good, as if it opened some kind of release valve on my pressurized emotions.

Jackson stepped around me to turn on the shower, tugging the curtain closed while he waited for the water to heat up. My legs still felt unsteady, so I sat down on the closed toilet again while I watched him test it with a hand under the spray. His focus and concentration were adorable. He was so earnest, so uninhibited. I never had to guess what Jackson was thinking or how he felt.

Unlike some of the other men in my life.

“Jackson?” I asked softly. “Is West mad at me? Does he not trust me anymore?”

He pulled his hand back, shaking the water droplets off as he turned to face me. “No way, Alexis. He’s not mad at you. What makes you think that?”

I swallowed. I wasn’t in a great emotional place to have this conversation, but I’d brought it up, so I forged ahead. “Ever since my wolf came out, he’s been so weird. It’s like he doesn’t trust me—or himself around me. Is it because my wolf keeps losing control?”

He sighed, leaning against the wall near the shower and running a hand through his dark brown hair. “No. It’s not that at all.”

“Then what?” I pressed. “I always thought it was Rhys who hated me, but it’s like he just passed the baton off to West.”

A chuckle rumbled in Jackson’s chest. “Man, they really are grumpy fuckers, aren’t they?”

I almost smiled, but the nerves pitching in my stomach wouldn’t let me.
