Chapter 254 – Early Mornings

• The next morning, my wolf wakes me up early, knowing that I need it. I mean, she doesn’t frequently function as my internal alarm clock – we both like our sleep way too much for that – but today she gives me a sleepy little nudge with her nose before climbing to her feet and giving her fur a rough shake.
• I stifle a groan and take a deep breath, letting my eyes stay shut, wanting desperately to just… lean back in the warmth of Jackson’s body and sleep for just five more minutes…
• But my wolf is more disciplined than me, and she gives me another nudge with her nose, and I sigh quietly, forcing my eyes open.
