Chapter 35

"Then I carry you out of bed and force you to get dressed myself," he warned, leaning away from the bed.

Isla couldn't help the reddening of her cheeks at that thought, and she sat up to glare at him.

"Why are we up so early?" she demanded, refusing to get out of bed until he was out of the room.

She felt vulnerable enough with him standing over her like that, let alone seeing her in her shift.

"We need to work on your relationship with your wolf, and I hope to have you shift on your own by the end of the day. So I figured we'd give ourselves as much time as possible."

Isla's eyes widened at thought, and even her wolf was unsure about shifting. That would be territory they were both unfamiliar with. It was one thing for her wolf to fight knowing she would lose, but another to know that Isla would finally unlock the cage she'd taken so long to secure.

The fact that Kelly thought he could dismember it in a day... that was insane.
