Chapter 6. Skin Deep Secrets

“You’re hurt!” I exclaimed.

Ace approached me slowly, a slow grin taking over his lips. “Is my sweet Doe worried about me? Do you really think that pathetic wolf would be able to hurt me, baby?”

He had to be delusional or something. Or maybe I had been hallucinating. But then what was the crash I heard?

My headache flared until it felt like someone was stabbing tiny, hot needles into my eyeballs. It was the worst one I’d had for some time.

“Ace, you’re covered in blood,” I whispered, trying my best to ignore the pain shooting through my skull. I had bigger problems.

“Not mine.” He put both hands on the edge of the bed. “It’s the wolf’s.”

“What?” I gasped.

But at least I’m not crazy.

He grabbed my ankle and tugged me to him. I squeaked in surprise, suddenly finding myself on my back at the edge of the bed with him leaning over me.

He looked down at me with a frown, wiping my hair from his face. Sparks flowed from his touch.
