Defective Human

Reed POV:

The moment I tore open his hoodie—

I froze.

My half-shifted hand, claws mid-air, caught in the pause of pure confusion.

Wrapped chest. Bandages. Tight and purposeful.

My first thought?

He's hurt.

But no... there was no scent of blood, no injury—just a soft, unmistakable outline beneath the fabric.

Bulges. Rounded. Firm. Pressed down but not hidden well enough now.

My eyes widened, my heart lurched like it missed a beat. My claws twitched, almost retreating.

"Boobs?"

My dumbass wolf echoed in my head, stunned stupid.

I blinked. "You have boobs?"

The words stumbled out of me, choked with disbelief.

This had to be a joke.

A hallucination.

A spell?

No... I could see them, and I sure as hell could smell the truth now that the illusion was cracking.

But still—I needed proof.
