I still haven’t heard much from Tommy. I can’t believe I’m now the girl who waits by her phone for her boyfriend to call. I don’t think I’m overreacting though. I’ve noticed that our werewolf department has been acting much differently lately. Our coworker Alex comes by whenever he needs a break and he’s been coming by more often looking tired.

I tried asking him today what was going on, but Alex told me that he couldn’t tell me much since a lot of things are protected, but he did let me know that it’s something with the potential to disrupt the neighboring packs, including his own. He didn’t go in detail about the issue, though he did ask for my boyfriend’s name since werewolves did end up running into each other often.

I told him his name was Thomas Crawford. I can’t remember a time I saw that shocked look on Alex’s face. He pulled me into the nearest empty office and closed the door. “Why didn’t you tell me you were dating one of the pack leader’s sons!”

It was my turn to blink in surprise. “Um, what?”

Well, I didn’t expect that.
