Bella woke up to the sound of what might have been a growling bear in the hotel room.
She had to pee, which wasn’t a bad thing, but when she woke up all she could hear was the roaring rumble of her mother’s snoring – followed by a shockingly loud fart. If Bella didn’t know better and she let her imagination wander a bit, she could envision the lump in the bed with her was some large, scary creature – a bear, maybe, or a gorilla – and not her mother at all. Darcy never moved during any of this although, when she passed gas, she did giggle in her sleep.
Bella frowned, whispered ‘ewww mom,’ and got up to use the bathroom without turning any of the lights on. She could see in the dark pretty well, a skill she figured was due to her wolf, and it made things a lot easier to sort of sneak around when she needed to.
But when she turned to leave the bathroom, she froze in her tracks.
