side. It’s a known fact that most women love new clothes.” Keva tilted her head to one side as she held up a flower-patterned blouse. “Hmm. Well, maybe I’m just more wolf than human,” she said under her breath. Kara glared at her. “I heard that,” she warned, despite the smile on her face.
Eventually, Keva approved five outfits that Kara had picked out, in addition to underwear, socks, and shoes. Keva did find shoes rather fascinating, despite the fact that she liked to feel the earth under her toes when she went running. She allowed Kara to purchase a pair of black pumps, a pair of sandals, and a pair of tennis shoes, but only because Kara insisted she have a pair of shoes for each “occasion,” as Kara called it. When the two girls finally made it home from the shopping mall, both were exhausted.
The two girls managed to get their purchases inside, then headed for the living room. “Ahhh,” Kara sighed as she sank down onto the couch, sprawling her legs out. “That was so much fun,” she continued. “I love spending my brother’s money!” Keva laughed. “It was exhausting, though. I hope I don’t have to get a new wardrobe very often.” Kara giggled. “Silly, you only needed a whole wardrobe because you’re newly human. From now on, it will only be one or two pieces of clothing at a time.” Keva sighed with relief. “Good. I don’t think I can take another shopping trip like that one.” Kara merely shook her head at her friend’s strangeness, and yawned widely. “I think it’s naptime,” she announced, then proceeded to curl up on the couch. Keva was not very tired, but she plopped herself on the matching loveseat and made herself comfortable. She felt drowsy almost immediately, and she soon dozed off into a dreamless sleep.
When Cian came over to visit the girls, he found them both asleep. Kara was sprawled out on the couch, with one leg draped over the back, and Keva was curled up like a wolf pup on the loveseat. He chuckled, and picked up his credit card from off the coffee table. “Wore themselves out, of course. Spending money is awfully hard work, I suppose!” He perched on the loveseat and wrapped his arms around Keva. She made a purring sound and curled around him, snuggling her head into his shoulder. He stroked her hair with one hand, until she finally opened her bright blue eyes. “Cian,” she said sleepily. “When did you get here?” He grinned at her. “Just a minute ago, but I didn’t have the heart to wake you.” She snuggled closer and sighed happily. “Clothes shopping is awful, Cian. Promise you won’t make me go again,” she mumbled. He laughed out loud, his deep voice rumbling against her chest. “I promise,” he whispered.
That evening was the night that Liam had decided to confront Elder Garr, the pack elder and their spokesman for the Council. With Kara’s help, Keva dyed her hair dark red with a temporary dye. Since the Elder had not been made aware of Keva’s transformation, the group hoped to catch him unaware with her telepathic skill. Keva’s first experience with the shower was life-changing. “Hot water feels so good,” she gasped, as she stepped into the shower in just an old t-shirt to rinse out the extra hair dye. “No wonder humans are such clean creatures!” Kara chuckled at this. “Yes, we do pride ourselves on our good hygiene,” she admitted. “Most women wear perfume, but it’s often so strong that it offends us werewolves’ sense of smell.” Keva rinsed out her hair, but stayed in the shower, tilting her face into the hot stream of water. Kara tapped her foot impatiently. “Come on, honey. We have to dry your hair before your disguise is complete. I promise you can take a heavenly-long shower later tonight,” she added. With a disappointed sigh, Keva complied.
Her disguise complete, Keva and Liam headed for Garr’s cabin. Liam looked nervous, his green eyes darting everywhere as if he expected
