Clashing With The Grumpy Wolf (Monsters of Saltford Bay #3)

Julia

The flames dance in the fireplace, casting long shadows across Adrian's cabin. I stare into their depths, my mind replaying the day's events on a loop. The fire alarm, the billowing smoke, Silverine trapped beneath the overturned buffet. The desperate look in Adrian's eyes when he found us.

I pull the thick blanket tighter around my shoulders. Despite the warmth from the fire, I can't seem to shake the chill that's settled into my bones. My hair is still damp from the shower, the smoke smell scrubbed away but the memory etched into my skin.

Whoever that thief is, they’re willing to cause real harm. I don’t know why this shocks me, but it does.
