Chapter Thirty-Three: Softened Beast 

Avery’s POV

“What?!”

Piper’s squeal makes me laugh even harder.

“What the heck gurl?”

I giggle like a child, rocking my head back and forth.

“But for real, Piper,” I try to act normal for a moment. “It's not funny.”

Damn it! It's not working.

Acting silly once more, I laugh to my feel. This has to be the most hilarious night of my life in the creepy Thane’s mansion.

“You just said he got red.”

“Pepper-red, to be exact.” I rub it in harder.

“Dang.” She puffs, taking her last laugh.

We've been on the phone for a very long time, whispering, and giggling with our two feet suspended, grunting, and yelling as well.

Seeing Thane’s reaction a while ago, talking to Piper, scratch that, gossiping with Piper, was the first thing that bugged my mind.

I didn't even wait to freshen up or get rested for a little bit. Boom! I called my gossipy knight, and she came running to my aid.
