Chapter 12

For the second time that day, I found myself lost in thought in the shower. The warm water wasn't as wonderful as the first time, or maybe my brain was too jumbled to enjoy it. Hopefully, I will get some rest tonight. I was willing to trade pretty much anything to avoid the weird dreams that plagued my mind the past few nights.

I stepped out of the shower and wrapped myself in the towel I had hung on the back of the door. I used a second one to wipe some fog from the mirror. I stood there, staring at my reflection. I wondered why both shifters were suddenly so interested in me when no one had even looked my way up until now. I was at least average looking, sure, but so were most other female werewolves.

My wolf didn’t care about how my human form looked one bit. We shouldn't have let our mate leave, she huffed. She was more than ready to put the whole Samantha issue behind us and ask for Gabe's mating bite. But the more I thought about it, the less sure I was about it.

The little things were nagging at me. Like Gabe being resigned to stay at the hotel when Trace or Neil or any other shifter male wouldn't have agreed to those terms for one minute. Was that proof that maybe they weren't true mates after all? The only thing I was going off of was the scent of cinnamon and Gabe's word that we were meant to be together. What if he was wrong?

I sighed, knowing that there were no answers to all of this. I quickly brushed my teeth and gargled with mouthwash, happy to leave my distorted reflection behind. I padded barefoot back into my bedroom and traded the towel for a fluffy robe. My book was still downstairs, but I didn’t care. All I wanted was some sleep.

I was asleep the second my head hit the pillow. I slept soundly for a few minutes, but then the same male voice was back. He was talking to someone, a different female than last time, but this conversation was much clearer. It was Gabe, and he was having a video chat with Mariam. I could see her. I could see the entire hotel room he was sitting in. It was as though I was looking through Gabe's eyes.

I could also feel what he was feeling; his anxiety was enough to put my stomach into knots.

Poor Gabe. My wolf whined in agreement.

I wanted to comfort him. I needed to help him somehow, but I also didn't want to interrupt his conversation with my sister, although it might be too late for that. He let her finish what she was saying, something about Neil and that he needed to be careful, but then he abruptly cut her off.

“Sorry, Mariam. I need to go, but I’ll call as soon as I have any news.”

“You better,” she teased. “Tell Ella hi for me. She’s being a great sister and still not returning any of my calls or texts.
