CHAPTER

TWENTY-FOUR

Fawn

I woke up in a place I didn’t recognize and with memories I didn’t like that I had. The majority of them had been with Wolf, his arms around me…

I sat up, feeling drugged. I’d cried myself to sleep last night, and I remembered that. I also remembered a voice telling me things would be okay. He’d told me what I was feeling was scary, but I’d be all right. I’d get through it.

Swallowing, I felt a dry mouth and squinted into sunlight. I recognized this room as the one I’d escaped into last night, but I had no idea I’d been in a bedroom. I was on a bed and under sheets.

Why was I here?

I pushed the bedding off. Wolf obviously had let me sleep, but I shouldn’t be here. I had no idea why he’d been here, or how he found me. I also had no idea why he’d left me here in this house.

Because he was a jerk.

He hadn’t been acting like one last night. He’d been that voice telling me things. He’d been comforting me, assuring me. But what I didn’t understand was why, and my attempts to get up only made me lie back down. I had a massive headache. Probably from all the crying. I lay for a second with my face in the bedding, and the sharp scent caused me to sit up instantly.

It smelled like him, the bed. One side smelled like me, but the other smelled like Wolf.

Had he stayed here with me?

I didn’t like the thought of it, and this time, I made myself get up. My phone was nearby, and I got that. I had no service, and a line being out due to the storm wouldn’t surprise me.

Fuck.

I’d stayed in a foreign place. In fact, the exact place that had been the subject of a fight I may or may not have been a part of. I hadn’t been throwing the punches, but my friend had.

Bru.

He was probably worried sick. I’d told him I’d find his sister and Bow, then ended up collapsed on the floor, weak.

Rushing, I left the room, trying to make calls on the way. Nothing went through, and something unusual was how quiet this house was. There was discarded trash on the floor, paper plates and cups, but no people. I hadn’t been to a ton of parties since I’d gone to college, but typically, one would step over a body or two if one stayed late enough. That just came with the territory, but this place was empty.

Mostly.

Some light singing came from the kitchen, and my phone just about left my hands at the sight of Bow Reed. She was pulling toast out of a toaster, then buttering it.

Um…

I walked casually, slowly. This was very unusual, and I was so quiet I scared the shit out of Bow. She jumped, but when she realized I was the one creeping around, she laughed.

“Oh my gosh, Fawn. You scared me.” She chuckled, still in her party clothes.
