through the roof! His woman? Where the hell had that come from??? Mentally brushing off the disturbing thought he turned his attention back to Aryana.
    Aryana shrugged like it was no big deal and didn’t look directly at him. “ I couldn’t leave you out there alone, vulnerable and naked. You were adamant about not going to the hospital and since I didn’t know you or where you were from and you obviously didn’t have identification, that really didn’t leave me with much choice.”
    Darian frowned, something was off. She had avoided the comment about her husband completely…
    Aryana looked away from the man sitting in her kitchen. She blinked rapidly several times holding back the tears that threatened. Husband… how much weight that one word held. One word with a wealth of meaning, something she should have right now but didn’t. Sighing Aryana grabbed Darian’s empty plate and silverware and stood up crossing to the sink to wash them. Best to get this guy out of her house fast. She WANTED to talk to him about everything. Hell she DIDN’T talk to ANYONE about everything, not even her dearest friends knew the whole truth about what had happened.
    “I can drive you back to your place or you can call a friend to come and get you if you want. I am sure you want to get back into your own clothing as soon as possible and get a hot shower as well.” She rinsed the dishes and turned with a small smile on her face.
    Darian watched her through slightly narrowed eyes, she was hiding something and he bet it had to do with all the missing pictures in the hall.  She didn’t wear a ring but then a lot of women didn’t these days. She was open and friendly enough but something in her eyes told a different tale. Slowly he spoke. “If you wouldn’t mind giving me a ride home I would appreciate it. I live up in the woods. It’s a smaller town, doubt you would find it on any map.”
    “I didn’t realize there was a town out that way. I know the lake I go to is pretty secluded so you must live out farther than that.” Aryana was surprised. She had been going to that lake for quite a while and never had she suspected there was ANYTHING but woods beyond it..
     
    “Yeah it’s pretty far back in. If you don’t mind I would like another cup of coffee before we go, maybe finish clearing out the cobwebs and the bit of a headache I got going on.” One corner of his mouth lifted into a wry smile. He didn’t really have a headache but suddenly didn’t like the idea of leaving her company either, though he really didn’t have any reason to remain. Heck he didn’t have any reason for her to drive him either. One phone call and one of the Omegas would have come and gotten him no problem, benefit to being Supreme Betas kid, but he wanted just that little bit more time with her. His WOLF wanted that little bit more time with her… hell he could almost hear the damn thing whimper at the thought of leaving her. That’s a new one.
    “Sure, help yourself. I am sorry I don’t have shoes that would fit you.  Scott, um he had a lot smaller feet then you do.” She mumbled quickly looking away as a blush crept up her checks.
    Darian mentally took note of the blush, somewhat enjoying seeing her flustered a bit. “It’s fine. I can wait till I get home to put on shoes.” He wondered how she would feel if she knew how often he ran barefoot on four feet?
    “Okay you can finish your coffee while I clean up, then we can go.” Aryana went back to washing up all the dishes her coffee cup included. She switched off the coffeemaker on her way past to get her shoes.
    Fifteen minutes later they were walking out the door to her SUV when Darian stopped a few feet away from the vehicle. Something flashed through his mind but he couldn’t hold onto it. “Hey what happened to your car?”
    Aryana looked up at him as she was unlocking the driver’s side. Her brows drew together in a confused look. “What are you talking about? There is
