Two days later, Kieran was staring at Cathy’s computer at the clinic, trying to figure out how someone had managed to mess up the schedule for the next month so badly when he’d only been gone a few days. Or that’s what he was trying to focus on. Mostly, he was thinking about Tashmica’s premonition.

No matter what she said, he knew something bad must be coming for him to leave the pack like that.

Another voice kept whispering in his head that he hadn’t been leaving by choice. Would something happen that would cause Rick to grow tired of taking care of Kieran? He had given so little back to the pack compared to the time and resources he’d taken. Maybe Rick would decide he wasn’t actually worth the effort.

“Hey.”

Jerking his head around, he nearly gave himself whiplash. He grimaced at Samantha, then did a double take. “What are you doing here? Why aren’t you in school?”

She frowned as she walked closer to him, her knee-length sundress swishing around her legs. She looked so grown up sometimes, then he’d catch her whining at her brother about having to do homework.

“It’s four o’clock,” she said, smiling as she pulled a chair over to sit at the end of his desk. “Lose track of time?”

Scrubbing at his face, then running a hand through his hair, he could only nod as he leaned back in his chair. “Yeah, I guess I did.”

“Doc said you could call it a day if you wanted.” Her smile was widening in that way that told him she was up to something.

“And why would he tell you that?”

She shrugged and blushed a little. “I maybe asked him if you could be done?”

Worried, he leaned forward and grabbed one of her hands. “Are you okay?”

Her smile was softer and more natural that time as she clasped his hand between both of hers. “I’m fine. I wanted to talk to you though. Would you come get ice cream with me?”

Surprised but also a little pleased she deemed him worthy of special trips to the ice cream parlor for private chats, he nodded and extracted his hand so he could shut the computer down. He’d fixed the schedule for the next week, and he’d worry about the rest of the month on Monday.

“Will you tease me if I get lemon again?” he asked as he stood and straightened everything on the desk.

“Of course not.” Her wink told him she was lying, but he grinned and followed her out anyway.

Ten minutes later, they had their treats and were seated at the same table outside as before. The shop was much slower at that time of day, though he suspected it would start picking up shortly.

They ate in silence for a little while, then Kieran asked, “Did you want to talk about your tutor or Vanessa?”

Samantha’s face froze, then her eyes darted up and her cheeks flushed a harsh red. “Why would you…”

Fucking hell. “Shit, I’m sorry. I just—I assumed when you said you
