Iopened my eyes and blinked. The fog of sleep cleared from my mind like clouds parting to allow the sunshine through. My eyes landed on the chair across from me.

Beckett had one arm thrown over his eyes, and his chest rose and fell in steady breaths. I couldn’t help but admire him, loving the way he was sprawled out, looking relaxed… and delicious. The man was a thirst trap, and I was embarrassingly desperate.

Moving slowly, I sat upright, giving my body time to adjust. I touched my feet to the chilly hardwood floor and winced at the cold jolt that shot up my legs and through my body. With careful, measured movements, I shifted my weight onto my feet and stood upright.

I braced for a wave of nausea or faintness. And because I was lucky, I got both that morning. My stomach twisted and bile threatened to choke me, all while my body trembled and the cold sweats started. As black crowded the edges of my vision, I sagged back down on the couch for a moment, waiting for one or the other to fade.

A shower would have been a wonderful way to start the day, but falling first thing in the morning did not. Given that hot water raised my blood pressure and made me more likely to kiss the porcelain tub, I decided to skip it.

As my vision returned to normal, I slowly stood again. Beckett hadn’t eaten enough the past two days, and that was my fault. I decided to fix that. It was the least I could do after putting him in such a messed-up situation.

Heading to the bedroom, I changed into comfy sweats and a tee-shirt. I breathed a sigh of relief to be in clean, soft clothes. I picked up my brush and gently ran it through my hair, trying not to notice how much was collecting in the bristles. When I finished getting out the tangles, I twisted my hair up into a bun on top of my head.

I tiptoed through the living room, not wanting to wake Beckett. Creeping into the kitchen, I gathered everything I needed to make him a breakfast he wouldn’t forget. By the time he woke up, there would be a platter full of food waiting for him.

Peeking into the living room, I checked to make sure he was still sleeping and found that he hadn’t moved. Wolves generally had a lot of energy, so his fatigue was likely a result of not consuming enough calories. What kind of horrible human being was I that I would practically starve a wolf?

Breathing a sigh of relief, I bent down to grab three cast iron pans from a bottom cabinet. One for bacon and sausage, one for eggs, and one for pancakes.

I waltzed around the kitchen, gathering ingredients and bowls for mixing. As I turned around to get to the fridge and get eggs, my forehead came in contact with a wooden cabinet door I’d left open while searching for bowls.
