Ivy's POV
I fled from the kitchen, leaving the others behind as I retreated to the safety of my bedroom. Once the door was closed, I allowed myself to shift back to my normal appearance with Killian following suit.
"I apologize for losing control back there," Killian's voice was uncharacteristically soft, tinged with what sounded like embarrassment.
"Don't worry about it," I replied, collapsing onto my bed with a small smile. "They had it coming." A chuckle escaped my lips as I replayed their shocked expressions when they hit the floor.
Astrid's voice cut through our moment of satisfaction, her tone firm and reproachful. "What you two just did has put everyone on high alert. They won't underestimate you anymore now that they've seen your wolf manifest. You should have maintained your composure."
