Neither am I
Me
I’ll get proof

OMG you’re insane
I tucked my phone into the pocket of my sweats and grabbed a cucumber of my own.
If I was going to find more proof to clear my name, I needed to act normal. Blend in. Be one of the pack or whatever.
A few more people moved around me in the produce section. Most of them were couples.
The pair that really caught my attention was a gigantic guy covered in ink who was shopping with a tiny woman who had unnaturally orange hair, and two kids. One was a boy, probably around nine or ten. The other was a little girl who looked half his age and was riding in the big part of the cart, surrounded by their groceries.
I listened closely as the family chatted while they walked, but none of them said anything about wolves.
No one else talked to me, not that I expected them to. Even in human stores, people mostly minded their own business.
I spent more than my fair share of time inspecting the fruit and vegetables I was going to buy, slowly choosing them at random.
Eventually, I accepted that I was going to have to go to the next aisle before someone grew suspicious.
My phone vibrated in my pocket as I pushed my cart around the corner. My attention went to the screen, just before my cart slammed into my ribs and a loud crashing noise echoed through the grocery store.
A pained groan escaped me. “I’m so sorry, I should’ve—” I began, but cut myself off when my gaze met a man’s.
The man from earlier.
With the giant muscles and the cucumber.
The moment his dark brown eyes met mine, his turnedred.
I froze, my lips parting.
The man’s grip tightened on his shopping cart. His entire body tensed, all of his huge muscles flexing visibly.
His jaw clenched.
Every other part of him did too.
“Is everything okay over here?” an unfamiliar male voice asked.
My attention jerked to the man who was now beside the guy I ran into. He was almost as pale as I was, with dark hair that looked like he’d attempted to gel it into submission and failed.
He was looking between us, but the red-eyed man was laser-focused on me.
A sound tore through the air viciously.
It almost sounded like an animal.
Like a growl.
Holy shit.
