Lost in Captivity (Book 6)

Chapter 10: New Bonds-private

"'kay."

With a smile, he kissed me. I pushed into him, deepening it.

"I'd say you're bi." He placed a peck on my cheek before going back into the closet to finish getting dressed.

I gripped the counter. "Maybe," I whispered. Jumping off the counter, I went to the tub and started filling it. I sat on the edge with my leg dangling over the side.

Keith stood over me and dropped something into the water.

It started to bubble.

"What the hell?" I swung my leg out. "What is that?"

"It's supposed to help with relaxation." He placed the box on the toilet seat. "There's two more in there."

He left the room, and cabinets being opened and close could be heard soon after. I slipped my foot back into the water. The pink and blue ball at the sitting on the bottom was still exploding. It spelt good though, very soothing and light.

I eased myself into the tub and picked up the ball. It continued to dissolve in my hand.

"Weird." I tossed it back in the water and leaned back.

"Be back soon, West."

"'kay," I called back. "Take your time," I whispered, sinking into the water.

I sat there until my skin started to get wrinkly. The water was starting to cool. I wasn't relaxed at all though. Flipping down the drain, I started adding more hot water. I snatched another bath fuzzy thing and tossed it in as well. I ended up putting the drain halfway up, so I could keep the water on. It sounded like a waterfall and made the room not so quiet.

After the second ball had dissolved, I used the last one. It would be nice to have a pine scent one. Stretching out, I shifted to my werewolf form. I brushed my hands through my fur. Closing my eyes, I tried to imagine I was at a hot pool, out in the northern mountain ranges, during a cool winter day. That would be amazing.

I walked out of the cave and stretched out. Last night was much better than the one before. The wolf pack were all still snuggled together inside. I missed cuddling up to my mate to stay warm. I laid down on my stomach. One day, I'd get back to Ranger.

A human's scent hit in my nose. I lifted my head and saw the woman from before watching me. I rose to my paws and wandered toward her. She hurried back to her truck. I jogged after her and sat down a few feet away from the vehicle. The window rolled down and she smiled at me.

"My snow prince has already made friends." She sighed. "Don't worry, I'm not going to let them ship you off."

My ears perked up as my tailed swished from side to side.

She glanced at the seat next to her. "Are you hungry?" The woman opened the lid on a plastic container.

The smell of fresh meat hit my nose. I jumped up and yapped at her.

"Thought so," she tossed a cut of meat down to me.

I quickly ate it and waited for more. I could smell it, I knew she had it.

"It's supposed to be for the mountain lion cubs."

I whined and tilted my head to the side.

"Alright," she lifted the bin to the window. "You're looking a bit on the skinny side anyways." She started to toss the meat down to me.
