Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Deducing

Hidden Grotto

Cas enjoyed watching Mingan get out of the pool. She wouldn’t let him see her stomach—that gruesome scar—but he knew he would like the view of her ass. She even glanced back to make sure he was looking. Morning sunlight was beginning to stream into the grotto and limned her already gold-brown features in a glimmering gold. He would just have to wait to enjoy all of her until later.

Shani was first priority over his own needs. It’s not all about sex, Casimir. Future leaders are important.

The young female was flushed red with embarrassment. How odd that any wolf would be uncomfortable seeing another female. Cas understood her not wanting to see his body, but why would Shani be so shy?

“Shani?”

She winced in surprise. “Yes?”

“That’s very considerate of you.”

“It’s Bloodrose etiquette to respect privacy,” she said with a nervous laugh.

Cas chuckled with her. “I had a feeling it wasn’t Blacktooth.”
