it or not.” Ryder parked the truck beside the
porch. Harper saw wolves going in and out of the large barn doors that stood
open.
“I thought we
weren’t to go in there. Is it safe?”
“They know what to
be careful of but I don’t want you in there. You can stand outside and watch
but don’t go past the doors. If it falls, I don’t want you to get hurt.”
“What are they
doing?” They were carrying stacks of wood that looked finished to the house.
“They are probably
laying the floor in your new room. I told them that I wanted it finished today
so you can have your privacy.” She watched one of them, Curtis she thought,
carry a window around to the back of the house. He’d danced with Sid last night
and tried to steal a fry. Suddenly, someone was beside her and she jumped. Lee
stood there holding up two buckets of paint.
“Green apple or
raspberry?” He said through the window. Harper looked at him, confused.
“The walls
sweetheart, what color?” Ryder said. She pointed at the green can. “Good
choice. We’ve painted Lucy’s room and Nicole’s room so far and those were the
colors they picked. As we go, there will be more of a selection and you can
change it later if you like.”
“Where is my
room?”
“In the attic of
course. It’s big so sectioning off a room for you was easy. You’re at the
opposite end from me.” He climbed out and hurried around to help her down.
“We’ll leave your things in the back until they’re done upstairs.” He lifted
her and put her safely down. Harper held onto his forearms. They were so warm
and hard beneath her fingers.
“Thank you.” She
said finally dropping her hands. She noticed a flicker of disappointment flash
behind his eyes. She curled her finger toward him and he bent down close to
her. Harper raised on her toes and kissed his cheek. “Really, thank you, for
everything.” He seemed pleased then.
“Go find Cindy, I’m
sure she can use your help with lunch, they’ll be starved. When they’re ready
to paint, you can help them, but that won’t be until after lunch.” She nodded
and hurried up the steps into the house. Wandering through cautiously, she
found Cindy in the kitchen.
Chapter 7
“Oh Harper, are
you busy? I have three dozen sandwiches to make and I hate slicing vegetables.
They’re wolves so shouldn’t they just eat meat for goodness sakes?” Cyndi wiped
her brow. She pushed a knife, tomatoes, and onions across the counter toward
Harper. She looked like a bigger version of Lucy. She had the same blonde hair
but shorter and the same dark chocolate eyes. She was tall and well-muscled
like a typical she-wolf. Just once Harper would like to meet another she-wolf
that was shorter than she was. Harper was average for a human not tall by their
standards either. She wondered what went wrong in her genetic code that made
her so short. Both of her parents towered over her and so did all of her
cousins. She was the shortest female in her pack and Bronson’s too.
She sliced the
onions expertly. The slices were all thin, and uniform. She tackled the
tomatoes next slicing them the same. “Hey you’re good help in the kitchen. You
can do all of my prep work.” Cindy grinned at her. “I’m shit with a knife.”
Harper laughed. Strong arms surrounded her then caged her close to the counter.
“How’s it going in
here? The boys are hungry.” Harper’s body came alive in that instant. The Alpha
had her trapped and his voice against her ear turned her on like never before.
“Is everything okay?” He murmured close making her shiver. He chuckled. “Your
room is almost finished. They’ve hung the drywall and finished it but you won’t
be able to paint until day after tomorrow. I forgot about the sanding and mudding.
You can sleep there tonight though, they’ll fetch you a bed after lunch.”
Harper deflated.
So, she wouldn’t sleep with him again. He didn’t want her to sleep with him? It
was probably a huge
porch. Harper saw wolves going in and out of the large barn doors that stood
open.
