Chapter Eighteen

Sola started the morning off feeling great for reasons unknown, only to end it feeling more terrible than she ever had about anything she’d ever done.

She just couldn’t get the stricken look on Ivan’s face out of her head. It was like her confession hadn’t just hurt him, it had somehow cut him to his core. Just thinking about it made her feel guilty, which was crazy because he was the one holding her prisoner here. The one who’d locked up a feeble old man. The one who’d done nothing but sneer at her since she’d arrived.

Sneer. And save her from that wolf. And make her body tingle with just a few looks while she showed him how to make pancakes…

By the time night fell, she still had no idea what to do about the situation. She still couldn’t believe she’d actually walked into his room and done things with him. A lot of things, if his words and the extreme tenderness of her sex were any indication.

Scott never left me feeling like that, she couldn’t help but think…

Only to cut herself off with a shake of her head. A drink. That was what she needed. She couldn’t risk going into his room again tonight.

So at 8:00 PM, she did what she would have done the last six nights if she hadn’t been so scared of another wolf encounter. She pulled on her snow boots and grabbed a sharp poker from the fireplace. Then she headed down the hill to The Thirsty Wolf, on a mission to make sure this never, ever happened again.

However, her mission was abruptly cut short when a burly guy in a brown leather bomber jacket came to meet her at the door as soon as she set foot in the bar.

“Name’s Jed Wolfson,” he said, opening his jacket. “I’m the town sheriff.”

“Hi, nice to meet you, Sheriff Wolfson,” Sola answered carefully, wondering why he was suddenly introducing himself after a week of scanning her darkly from his usual table in the corner. She also couldn’t help but note he had the same last name as the one on the manor sign at the bottom of the hill.

“Heard you violated the full-moon curfew.”

Oh, so that was it.

“Yeah,” she admitted with an apologetic cringe. “I had a lot on my mind and completely forgot about it.”

“You forgot about it,” Sheriff Jed repeated, his tone flat.

“Yes, and I’m really sorry,” she said, keeping her tone contrite under the stern weight of his glare. “I really didn’t mean to cause any trouble.”

Sheriff Jed glanced down at the poker in Sola’s hand. “Yeah, well. The curfew is in place for a reason. I’m thinking it’ll be best for all parties involved if you stay at the kingdom house until the snow melts. No more coming down here after five o’clock.”

Sola blinked, barely able to believe her ears. “Wait, you’re saying I’m, like, grounded? I can’t come down here anymore?”

“Not after five o’clock.”

After a moment of standing there, stunned, she came back with, “Okay, well, I’m pretty sure what you’re doing here isn’t even legal.
