She Knows

REED POV 

Okay. Okay, I know what it looks like.

I was bored. Restless. My wolf wouldn't shut up—he was pacing, whining, clawing at the inside of my skin like I was the idiot responsible for the distance between us and our mate.

(Which… okay, maybe he wasn't entirely wrong.)

But it wasn't like I planned to break into her room and go full stalker mode.

It just happened.

Sort of.

At first, I was just walking past the boarding house. Then I was just standing outside. Then I was just checking her window because, you know, safety check—someone had to make sure the place hadn't been vampire-booby-trapped or something.

Next thing I knew, I was inside.

Yeah. That escalated fast.
