Phoenix:
The pack garden was empty at this hour. I was sitting on a bench with a book on my lap, pretending to read.
I was so upset with everything happening in my life that I thought it was the best way to avoid the outside world.
"Sebastian is going bonkers in your absence. You aren't even answering his calls," I stiffened as Beta Hunter dropped onto the bench beside me with the ease of someone who wasn't in a mood to allow personal space.
I lowered my face and buried it deeper into the book, pretending I hadn't heard him. I felt him leaning sideways, peering at the cover, "Isn't it a little late for reading?" he quirked up a brow, "And seriously? You are reading about witches? That's your pick?"
I sniffed quietly, blinking fast, and turned a page to keep my hands busy, "Better than sitting around doing nothing."
In all honesty, I just picked up a random book from the pack library. Thank Goddess, the librarian didn't make an issue because I was no more part of the pack.
