#Chapter 25: Infuriating

Nicholas Infuriating woman. Of all the women I could have chosen to be my Luna, why did I have to go and choose her? The thought spiraled through my mind on an endless loop as I stalked down the hallway, her fiery words still ringing in my ears. “Yeah, run away!” she called after me. “Scaredy-cat!” I rolled my eyes, refusing to let her see my annoyance. She was just throwing a little tantrum because I wouldn’t spill my guts to her, and I wasn’t going to let her win. Not that it was exactly easy to keep her out of my head. Kayla had an… uncanny way of digging her claws in, tearing through every shred of patience I had until she got what she wanted. She was stubborn, relentless, maddening—and far too clever for her own good. And yet, here I was, trying to keep a smirk from tugging at my lips while also trying to keep my temper in check after catching her snooping in my study. She didn’t know when to stop. Didn’t know how to stay out of trouble.
