"What are you doing?" I walked into the empty room, watching Nefra as she cleaned a section of the wall.
I'd nearly had a heart attack when I'd woken up and found that my magically pregnant mate wasn't beside me. At first, I thought she was with Penelope, but my princess was fast asleep, barely moving when I checked on her. However, I did find her in the empty room beside Pen-Pen's room in the packhouse, which would become the three pups' nursery when they were born. We hadn't filled it with anything yet since everything was piling up on us. I was not expecting to find my mate cleaning like a madwoman.
"Everything's dirty," she muttered, not looking away from her task. "We can't paint until it's clean."
"Nefra..." I approached carefully; she'd been having severe mood swings this week, and I knew better than to interfere with a nesting she-wolf. "We can have someone come in tomorrow to clean it for you."
