Chapter 25 Where Were You?

• WAYLEN
• I had never been as tense as I was. My muscles wound tightly. I shoved Beth’s panties into my shorts, counting the seconds until her bedroom door opened. She knew something was wrong as soon as she stepped in. Her instincts had gotten sharper. Once we were fully mated, she would have better senses than the average human.
• Light flooded the room. Beth stood by the switch without an iota of surprise. My head was too messy to pick up on her current emotion, so I focused only on her face, which was a blank canvas. Her hand lowered to the knot holding her jacket in place, and she tugged on it. The coat fell open to reveal a crop top that exposed her belly and mini shorts.
