Her Forever (Book 5)- Chapter 5

Trinity’s POV

“Boys, I’m leaving you outside.” I jingled the keys in the keyhole and pushed the door a couple of times to secure it. I dumped my keys in my jacket pocket. Both of the wolves had avoided my gaze ever since I got out of the shower. I went to pet them, but they continued to scatter away.

Was it my food? Did it upset their stomachs? I wasn’t about to leave them in my house and come home to an utter mess. They were used to staying outside, so they should be fine. The weather was crisp, the mornings had already started to see frost, and it was only late September. Relatively normal in a town this far north.

so nice to have two someone’s to go home to. For once, I thought I could get close without having to worry about someone’s safety. These beasts could take care of their own if I got knocked out of the picture. My heart tugged a little as I opened the creaking SUV and turned it on.

but the thought of my two new companions getting shot irked me. “Those are my wolves. I got them from the pound. They are domesticated, and they stay away from people,” I half lied. Sure, they were domesticated, haven’t peed on anything, and were nice to me. Just don’t get in their way like Elijah did, and you’re set.
