FRIDAY MORNING - FOURTEEN DAYS AFTER TRANSFORMATION 7:00 AM
Eve woke to find herself alone in bed...unusual for the past two weeks. She could feel through the bond that the brothers were downstairs, giving her space to rest after yesterday's intense training.
Her body felt fine. But her mind....her mind was heavy with the weight of what she'd done. What she'd learned she was capable of.
She touched the mark on her neck....Kane's single perfect bite....and thought about control. About the eldest wolf's ability to restrain himself, to mark once instead of dozens of times because he was secure enough in his dominance.
That's what she needed. Not more power, necessarily. But more control. More confidence that she could wield these abilities without losing herself.
Eve showered and dressed, then made her way downstairs. The smell of breakfast drew her to the kitchen where Mrs. Blackwood was cooking and the three brothers sat at the table, discussing pack business.
