Ayleen tossed in her bed for the nth time. She has been trying to sleep for the past hour but sleep seems to hate her at the moment. If Azraiel was here, she would go to his room and sit on the balcony while he did his work in his room. It has been that way for lord knows how long. Whenever she can’t sleep, she goes to her brother. But now, she needs to be careful to not do that. Though Charlotte treats her like her own sister, it doesn’t mean she’d like Ayleen pestering her mate all the time.
Putting the blanket aside, she stands up and makes her way out of the room. After drinking a glass of water, she decides to go out and walk a little.
Ayleen smells him before she sees him.
“Matt?”
He steps out of the shadows.
“What are you doing here?” Ayleen asked confused as to why the pack Beta is here.
“Uh- don’t get angry and don’t tell Charlotte! Um, Alpha wanted me to guard the house tonight.” He scratches his neck.
Ayleen should’ve known.
