Me

Tell me what?

Nova

Shit

Me

What???

Nova

Nothing

You heard nothing

I was sworn to secrecy by my mate

Me

Nova

Clay’s calling me, gtg

Me

Liar

Despite my message, her obvious lie made me snort.

I scrolled back up to the messages and read them again.

Me

The meaning was pretty clear. It would take a lot to convince myself otherwise.

Like me, Hunter also hadn’t had sex in a long time.

He had said something about not wanting anyone, but I hadn’t actually thought about that. If he hadn’t wanted anyone, had he legitimately not slept with anyone?

I had said something along the lines of him bringing a bunch of other women to the hotel with him—why hadn’t he corrected me?

Maybe he’d still been with people, but he was doing a short-term abstinence thing, and there was a reason for it?

My wolf was getting prickly again, growling quietly.

The movement of a camera on the ceiling in my line of sight caught my eye, and I jerked my head toward it, watching closely.
