A deal with Nox

Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view

I got out of the bathroom, ready for bed, only to see that Duke was not in the bedroom.

My dejection grew when I realized that Duke went to do his evening routine in the guest bathroom.

I invited him to join me, but he said that he needs to deal with something and that something was to not allow his wolf to see me naked.

How long will he be at odds with his wolf?

Yes, I am aware that Duke is struggling, but with neither of them willing to give in, it will take forever. Does he think this is easy for me?

Of course, I'm not comfortable knowing that his wolf is watching our every move, but the fact that Duke is so against it it's only making me feel more awkward.
