Chapter 10

Adelaide

As we drive back to the apartment, exhaustion washes over me. My friends press me for details, wanting to make sure Gunnar didn’t do anything to hurt me.

“It was nothing like that. I promise,” I say, not wanting to paint the picture in the wrong way. Knowing there’s no way I can explain him in the right way either. I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything that happened, everything that he is.

“But you haven’t stopped crying since you got in the car,” Piper says, her hands on the wheel. “I need you to tell me explicitly that you aren’t hurt.”

“Thanks for asking, Piper,” I manage to say, finally wiping the tears from my eyes. “But Gunnar and I both wanted it to happen.”

“So, you guys…” Harley starts, but then Kate shakes her head, telling her not now.

I clear my throat. “No, it’s okay to ask. Yes, we slept together.” I pause as my friends gasp. My virginity was something they were all invested in. I can’t think of how many nights they planned out my “first time” with whoever they set me up with on a blind date.

“It was bad?” Harley asks, wincing.

“No.” I sigh, closing my eyes as images pop into my head of Gunnar’s body pressed against me, filling me. “It was...perfect.”

“Then what’s wrong?” Kate asks, placing a hand over mine.

“Things just went downhill after.”

“How so?” she coaxes.

I twist my lips. “Let’s just say he’s not the kind of man I am interested in. At all.”

As we pull up to the bookstore, I see the knot of worry in all my friends’ eyes.

“Look,” I say, as we walk inside. “I just want to take a shower. Tomorrow I’ll be up for a conversation. It’s already so late. And I’m tired...” And confused. And miserable. And feeling like the reality that I once knew is crashing around me.

“Okay, sweetie,” Harley says, giving me a big hug. “But don’t lose any sleep over a guy. From my experience, they are never worth it.”

I wish she was right. But I know I’ll be losing more than sleep over Gunnar. I may just be losing my sanity. Because...he’s a freaking bear.

Each of my friends takes turns hugging me, not pressing the matter anymore, and as I turn to the bathroom, I can’t help but think of how grateful I am to have them in my life. Taking over this apartment and shop was a dream - but there is no way I could have made the move to Alaska on my own. And yet, as I step into the shower, I can’t help but feel anxious for where I have brought them. There wouldn’t just be one bear shifter, would there?

It’s like I’ve just stepped into some twisted paranormal reality TV show.

As warm water runs through my hair, I try to think what I know about shifters. Or at least what books and movies say about them. I went through the whole Twilight phase as a tween - but
