Mebeing Natalia, of course.
“This is so confusing.”
“I know.”I sighed, reaching for the light switch because I needed to know who I was.
Not wanting the glow under the door to alert the guys, I only turned on one of the sconces. It still took me blinking several times for my eyes to adjust to the dim glow, but once I looked at myself in the mirror, I was even more confused.
“Well, that’s… unexpected.”
“Ditto.” Leaning in, I glanced at myself again, trying to figure out what the fuck was going on now.
One red eye and one blueish-silver eye looked back at me.
“Is this you?”I asked Starlight. “Is it a Wolf Shifter, bi-color eyes thing?”
“I don’t think so…”
“You are no help.”
“On the plus side, you are calling me Starlight again, so that’s a good sign.”
Ugh. “A sign that what? Half of me is gone?”
“I’d say that half of you is back to normal, but what do I know?”
“Are you saying I’m abnormal?”
She didn’t answer.
“Gee, thanks.”
Taking a deep breath, I leaned closer to my reflection again, rubbing my blueish eye. When I opened it, it was back to red… but it soon paled, returning to Natasha’s blueish-silver hue.
Perfect, just perfect. One more fucking thing for me to deal with right now.
“They did say it was going to get worse before it got better… Bitch. I feel like it’s safe to still call you that.”
“Stop being so rude to her, Starlight.”
Hannes’s husky tenor made me whirl around to find him closing the door behind him.
The unexpected sight of him made my heart start to race.
Spinning away from him as fast as I’d faced him, I busied myself with something on the vanity so he wouldn’t see the change in my eyes. “Did I wake you up? I’m sorry.”
I risked a glance at him through the mirror, noticing the slow shake of his head.
“I couldn’t feel you on me anymore.” He paused to yawn, rubbing the sleep off his eye like a child.
“He’s so damn sexy, even when he’s being adorable.”
Knowing he could hear her, I grinned.“Ditto.”
“Adorable?” Hannes scoffed, his wolf coming to the surface with the “insult.”
He stopped behind me, his arms sliding around my waist until he’d captured me against his hard chest, hands splaying along my ribs. Tilting his head into my neck, he paused next to my ear, scenting me.
“I’m a deadly Beast. A powerful Wolf Shifter. And the motherfucking Iron Prince. I’m everything but adorable.”
