“Let’s sneak into your room,” he told Josh when it got too chilly outside.

Heyyyy

He missed Ray, there wasn’t more to it. Somehow, they were seeing each other less than they had before they had begun dating. For the last three nights, they hadn’t even got to see each other alone, much less sleep together. It made sense, Ray was trying to step back, but the Halley household the first day of term had been utter chaos.

Maybe he was thinking about school because it was easier than thinking about the full moon. With his whole family preparing for the start of term, it was also inevitable his mind would be drawn to it. His mum had made it clear she neither expected nor needed him to keep helping out at home like he had been, not with the amount of responsibility that came with founding a new pack. She’d opted out from being in his council, agreeing instead to coming up with a list of questions

Josh hadn’t cried, but it had been a near thing. He wasn’t sure if anyone else saw it, but Josh was a Ray connoisseur. The man who’d just addressed that crowd wasn’t the boy who’d hidden in a cave or communicated mostly in grunts and monosyllables in school. He wasn’t the little kid who’d preferred drawing to almost any activity because he could do it on his own.

The only person more embarrassed than Ray was TJ, which was both amusing and awkward. How on earth had his brother missed what was happening? He hoped they hadn’t been too noisy, but still, his room wasn’t soundproofed at all and TJ was a werewolf. On top of that, there was no way to disguise scent.
