Page 246 of His Hungry Wolf

“What the hell is going on, man? And why did we have to hear you were here from some guy at campus security?”

“It’s nothing,” I told them. “I just did a little damage to a car.”

“A little damage?” Quin asked pulling away. “They said you smashed in a window and a couple of doors?”

“Like I said, a little damage,” I said with the hint of a smile.

“Why?” Quin begged, his cutely nerdy face narrowing.

I thought about Kendall and how he had told me to go to hell.

“I don’t wanna talk about it. You guy’s got a ride out of here?”

“Yeah, I’m driving,” Titus told me pushing his fingers through his shaggy, coffee-colored hair. “I’m parked out front. Let’s go.”

The three of us headed to Titus’s truck and drove back to campus in silence.

“Where am I headed?” Titus asked as we turned onto Campus Lane. “Am I dropping everyone off or are we headed to Quin’s place for our usual Sunday run?”

I was about to ask him to take me to our dorm when Quin cut me off.

“My place. Cage is driving down and he’s going to want to hear about all of this. It may as well be before we blow off some steam with a shift.”

“You didn’t tell Cage, did you?” I asked Quin feeling a pain in my chest about it.

“He was the first person I called after Titus told me.”

I looked at Titus pissed.

“Look man, Campus security told me you had destroyed one of their cars and was in jail. Who else was I supposed to call? He was the only one who would know how to get you a lawyer.”

“You called a lawyer?” I asked Quin.

“I didn’t have to. Cage called the school and was able to smooth things out. He still has a lot of good will from winning them those national championships. So, all I had to do was put up your bail and get you out.”

“So, I’m not gonna lose my scholarship?”

“I didn’t say that. But, I’m sure Cage will tell you everything you need to know about it. Seriously, Nero, what were you thinking?”

I didn’t reply.

“So we’re headed to Quin’s place?”

I looked out the window resigned. “Yeah.”

“Cool. Lou told me he didn’t have a date tonight, he’s gonna be there too,” Titus said with a smile.

Both Quin and I looked at him.

“What? He and I are friends. I know neither of you has much experience with having friends, but trust me, hanging out is a thing people do.”

I turned to Quin. We were both thinking the same thing. The two of them spent a lot of time together.

I knew that being friends with a guy, human or not, didn’t mean anything. And Titus would be considered very friendly no matter what he was. But, .

it sure seemed that they were into each other.

Unfortunately, Titus was a shifter and Lou was human so things between them would probably never work out. Even back home where wolves, fae, and humans lived together, we tended to stick to our own kind.
