"Zane… I think I have a wolf," I whisper, Zane sitting up immediately.

"W-what?" he asks, looking at me with both excitement and curiosity.

"H-how?"

"I met with Moon Goddess and she gifted me one," I murmur, pup-like excitement washing over Zane’s face.

"Y-you met Mo-Moon Goddess?" he asks.

"B-but how?"

"I don’t know," I shrug, the wolf howling in my head with equal excitement to know her mate liked the idea of her presence.

"She kind of just showed up and handed the wolf to me."

"W-what’s her n-name?" Zane questions, his eyes beaming with unadulterated joy.

"C-can I meet her?"

"Her name is Devina, I think?" I reply, trying to remember the wolf’s name.

"I don’t really know how to get her out.This is all new to me.I don’t even know if she’s really there or if I am just going crazy." He doesn’t get a chance to ask more questions, his brown eyes turning to gold as Grayson steps forward.

"Not crazy," Grayson snaps, crashing his lips against mine.

"Perfect.Mine!"

Grayson grins, the sound of purring filling my head. suddenly very aware that Kota is sleeping just beside me.

"Kota is here!" I hiss, Grayson smirking at me.

"And?" He shrugs, mischief glittering in his eyes.

"And we can talk about this in the morning," I mutter, turning my back to the wolf and cuddling with Kota.

"Goodnight." Grayson growls in annoyance but settles behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist to hold me close while we sleep It feels good to wake up in Zane’s arms but my head is pounding.

All night long, my ears picked up every tiny little sound and the lights from the machines all bothered my now very sensitive eyes.

To add to my grievances, I already regret accepting Devina.
