Zander placed a piece of a blueberry cheese cream muffin to my mouth, and I slipped it between my lips. Vivian had no reason to worry about losing her job to me.
The girl was magic in the kitchen.
Zander moaned slightly, and abruptly stood up, offering me his hand. Iâd spent the morning trying to find a book that would tell me more about wolves, especially after my dream from the night before.
The truth had rested on the edge of my tongue during our breakfast. I wanted to tell him about my dream, but something stopped me. Maybe the voodoo queen would tell me more if I kept it to myself.
Not that she didnât scare the Hell out of me, because she did, but she brought answers I desperately wanted to know.
His fingers interlaced with mine, his scent leading me blindly toward a hallway Iâd never been down before. Watching his side profile, I examined the sharp cut of his jaw that was blanketed in a dark coat of stubble.
âHow many places are you keeping a secret from me in this castle?â
Zander unlaced his fingers from mine, and shoved me into a small alcove tucked into the hallway. âThere are many places in this castle that you havenât seen, Little One, and I plan to show each one to you.â
I chuckled, my body heating at the close proximity of his skin against mine. âTiny alcoves,â I whispered. âA heated pool. What else are you hiding?â
Zander lowered his mouth to slant over mine, and snaked his tongue out against my bottom lip. âStick around, and youâll find out.â
I chuckled. âTouché.â
Zander winked at me, and looped his arm around my waist. âWhen William and I were young, we'd wait until everyone was asleep and play hide-n-seek in the dark." His breath formed goosebumps along my skin. "I can't wait to play that with you, Little One. Only, I think we'll up the stakes. For every time I find you, you take off an item of clothes, and vice versa, of course."
"I like the sound of that," I whispered, tugging on the collar of his shirt. "Maybe we can start now--,"
He chuckled, and pulled back from me. "Temptress," he whispered. "Do not distract me when I'm trying to be good and open up to you."
Him admitting that he wanted to open up excited and frightened me all at once. It was one more reason to stay. His honesty. There is nothing more sexier than an honest man.
And one more reason for me to fall head over heels for him.
We walked down a long hallway that took us toward a grand ballroom. The detail in the woodwork took my breath away. It was straight out of a storybook. âWow,â I whispered. âDid you all have balls here?â
Zander glanced at the stage with an absent look. âWe had my alpha coronation here. Other packs would come and we would feast in the dining hall down there,â he said, pointing toward our right.
I twirled around in my dress, feeling like a little girl.
