Two hours later, I had to admit letting Silas teach me about my wolf had been a surprisingly great decision. Not that I’d ever tell Drew that. I learned how to shift faster than I ever had before. And to call my wolf to the surface just enough to tap into her heightened senses but without actually sprouting fur or giving myself over to her form. We hunted, we ran, we tracked—and by the end of the day, I had accepted my wolf in a way I’d never done before.

“You did good today, little witch.”

I glanced over at where Silas sat at my kitchen table. His bowl of chili had been cleaned out—twice. Drew wasn’t home, probably gone on another errand for Kel, which meant we had the place to ourselves. But rather than try for round two of couch time, Silas had spent the last hour cooking chili with me and telling me about the trouble he used to get into as a young wolf pup in an alpha-less pack.

I tried to pretend it didn’t mean anything, but every moment we spent together felt more dangerous than the last.

I was falling for Silas Hale.

Hard.

And I had zero illusions that it would end well for either of us.

“Thanks,” I told him now. “You’re a good teacher.”

“It’s weird,” he said.

“What?”

“I’ve never taught anyone anything before, much less been good at it.”

“I’ve never met another wolf who was raised with a pack before.”

“Pack, yes. Alpha, no.”

He looked away, and I didn’t need my aerona gifts to know he was hurting. The urge to go to him was so strong, but what could I do? Silas had wounds even I couldn’t reach. And, no matter how close he let me get, I knew he had to heal those scars himself.

“I didn’t mean—”

“So, you’re saying you don’t have anyone else to compare me to. Maybe I suck at it.”

“That’s not what I’m saying.” I smiled, but it faded quickly as I thought about Drew. And my dad. And everything our family had missed out on because of prejudice and hate. And now, Silas was missing out on those things too. “It means a lot,” I added quietly. “You helping me.”

“I’m glad to even the score. We’re helping each other.”

“Speaking of which, about those secrets of yours…”

“Ah.” He sat back, and I could see his expression shift alongside his thoughts. “I don’t think it’s so much a secret as it is just baggage.”

“Your mom,” I said knowingly.

He looked up at me, eyes narrowing. “Am I that obvious?”

“Not at all,” I admitted. “You’re hard to read. But I just figured… And people talk.”

“Did Kel say something?”

“No way, she’s the only person who doesn’t talk around here. Even as a best friend, she’s ridiculously hard to get things out of.”

He relaxed. “She’s a fair person from what I’ve seen. She’ll make a good leader.”

“Yeah. I think there’s just enough of the old guard left to give her shit, though. It hasn’t been easy.”

I thought of the law forbidding shifters and witches from being together.
