Chapter 15

“But you said I could take the first human shower,” Hunter protested as a half-naked Chance walked into the bathroom. “Ashton’s already in the upstairs one.”

“That was before I knew what it looked like, though. And you can turn the handle to the left for hot water, or to the right for cold water. But, I don’t know why anybody would choose cold water,” Chance said, shivering at the thought of it. At home we usually bathed in the streams, or washed out of a bucket. We never had an option of hot water without boiling it first, which we often skipped, because it was just too difficult. If it was cold enough, cold water actually hurt, since our body temperature was naturally so much higher. But, it was something we’d all needed to get used to.

Hunter’s jaw dropped as he glared at his brother. “You already took a shower, didn’t you?!” he exclaimed.

“No. I was just testing it out. It’s different,” he said, closing the door and locking it.

“We’ve already been here for two weeks, and neither of you has taken a shower? Why don’t you stink?” I asked, wrinkling my nose at them.

“We’ve still been bathing, Skye,” Hunter said, rolling his eyes. “There’s a lake not too far from here. Chance thought it would be weird to shower indoors, but now, he wants to be the first one to do it, even though he promised me that I could go first. Remember when you promised me, Chance?” He asked him through the door as he began pounding on it.

As Thane came into the room, he said, “Guys. One of you can use Akar’s shower.” He motioned to the master bedroom, which was right next to the downstairs bathroom.

“But…,” I started to protest, but before I had a chance to say anything, Chance had already pulled the door open.

“Okay!”

Hunter grabbed him by the elbow, pulling him back. “Why do you get to use Akar’s bathroom?”

I knew how private of a person Akar was. He would never let one of the twins use the shower in his bathroom. “Thane, you can’t just let them use Akar’s bathroom. We haven’t even asked him yet,” I said quietly.

“So? He’s barely ever around. I doubt he’ll even find out. It’s fine. I don’t want to have to listen to this argument every day. Do you?”

“No,” I agreed. The twins already had plenty of arguments daily as it was.

I looked up, just as Hunter was holding Chance an arm’s length away and trying to close Akar’s bedroom door.

“Guys, what’s the difference?” I called over to them, loud enough for them to hear. “A bathroom is a bathroom,” I told them, trying to remind them that they were fighting over something stupid.

“Akar is Alpha. So, his bathroom is practically a royal bathroom,” Chance replied, looking over at me. Hunter took the distraction to his benefit, and was able to close the door without his brother even noticing.

I shared a chuckle with Thane. It was
