Chapter 11

• The journey back to the hut in the pickup truck was silent, and the interior of the vehicle was filled with the uncomfortable silence that lingered between Hunter and me. I was lost in my own thoughts, reliving the kiss we had shared on the dance floor and wondering what it meant. What was Hunter thinking?
• In the truck bed, Caleb and the other werewolves laughed and chatted animatedly with the girl they had brought along. I glanced at them briefly, but my mind was elsewhere.
• After a few minutes, Hunter parked the truck, and everyone disembarked. Caleb carried the girl in his arms as if she were a trophy, taking her inside the hut, followed by the other guys. They seemed to be having a great time, and I knew their night was just beginning. The sounds of their laughter and conversation faded as the door closed, leaving me alone with Hunter outside.
