After dinner, I walked into the spotless kitchen, pausing to glance around to see what was out of place. The clock ticked in the background, but I couldn't find it.
The sink was empty, and the white porcelain sparkled.
I opened the fridge.
Every bottle, carton and container had the labelling the correct way.
I felt foolish by the time I opened the oven, but I did it anyway.
Nothing.
I returned to the living room and sat beside her. She lay curled up beneath the blanket, watching her animal documentary. I rested my hand on her ankle. She didn't move or complain.
I relaxed on the couch… but I was still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
We managed a normal weekend together.
It should have been mundane. I should have been bored and itching to get away.
Her laughter during dinner echoed in my mind as she’d teased Fenrir.
The remote fell from her hand as she fell asleep.
It was best that she get some rest now.
Because I intended to sleep with my knot buried inside her cunt tonight.
Fuck the mundane.

The moment she joined me in bed, I dragged her to my side of the bed.
“No more clothes in our bed,” I muttered, tugging my T-shirt over her head.
As much as I loved my scent on her, I wanted to feel her naked flesh against mine.
“Is this a dictatorship?” she sniped as I peeled her knickers down her legs.
A dictator—I liked that title.
I moved over her, placing her legs on my shoulders before planting my face between her thighs.
She didn't complain again.
Chapter 48
Lielit
My family were still pissed off at Blaidd—especially my dad. I couldn’t blame them, but I didn’t tell them that I was part hyena and he was part god-wolf. The less they knew, the safer they were. Not just from Blaidd’s megalomaniac tendencies, but from the world in general.
I wondered if Blaidd’s strange ways were because of Fenrir. I pushed the thought aside. He was such a stubborn prick that I doubted Fenrir had much influence over him at all. The man didn’t have one iota of emotional intelligence.
Still… over the last few weeks, we’d both retracted our claws.
I pulled the plastic cap from my hair and tossed it in the bin. The plant was running exceptionally well, and this would be my last visit for a while. The twins were getting harder to disguise beneath my clothes.
