“I’m not tracking anything.” When he doesn’t elaborate, I look up at him, setting the tracker back down.”Then why do you have them?”
~Charlie and my warriors found them on your car when he want to pick it up.
I look down at the trackers again, this time as if they are snakes that will lash out and bite me. I feel lightheaded as the realization hits me that this must be Simon. He found me, or at least found my car.”Whoa, Doc,” Warren says gently, sitting up and wrapping an arm around my waist. “Take it easy. You’re safe.” He somehow manages to pull me onto the bed with him, but I’m so focused on the trackers that I barely notice.
“Why so many?” I whisper.
“Someone wants to know where you live, where you go,” Charlie says, watching me just as intently as Warren is.
“Why do I get the feeling that you might know who did this?” Warren asks.
“I.. Shit! If he knows about Simon, he’ll never let me leave. I just need to figure out how to get out of this pack and get away from here without Simon finding me. I was right, he must have tracked me to the school. I didn’t notice anyone else, Annika and I didn’t smell anyone else around the woods when we went for a run, but that doesn’t mean that they didn’t show up afterward.
“I have no idea why someone would be so interested in tracking me,” I say, unable to look at either Warren or Charlie. I don’t get the idea that either man is stupid, so I’m sure they know that I’m lying. I just need time to think. I need to figure out what I’m going to do.
“I see,” Warren says, and it’s obvious that he does know I’m lying. ” Well, someone is looking for you and since I’m in a pack war with multiple Alphas, I’m going to let my pack and patrols know that you aren’t allowed anywhere near the borders.””WHAT? You can’t do that!”
“I’m the Alpha of this pack. It’s my job to keep you safe,” he says. So arrogant!
“I am not your pack member. You don’t have to do anything for me,” I say, trying hard to be firm. I’m pretty sure it just comes across as snarky.
Warren leans in, so close that I can feel his breath on my lips. Nerve endings light up all over my body at his close proximity.”You are my mate. Your safety is my number one priority.”
I can’t look away from him. His brownish-green eyes are flashing with frustration and also something that looks similar to the desire that I’m feeling as well.
I shove my distracting desire for this man down and narrow my eyes at him. “And just how is it that you intend to keep me safe when your Ieg is still healing, Alpha? Hmmm? You’re in no position to protect anyone at the moment.”
It’s a low blow, one that I expect will anger him and have him losing his temper with me. But not Warren. If anything. he takes my words as a challenge and he ups the ante.
“Then, I’ll guess you’ll just have to stay by my side, indefinitely, until I know that you’re safe. I guess that’s the only way that I can ensure your safety while I’m healing.””You are insufferable!” I growl.
That sexy smile spreads across his face. “Is that why your heart rate has increased, and your cheeks are flushed, doctor? Because I’m insufferable? Or maybe it’s my insufferability that has you practically crawling into my lap.”
“Wha…?” I say looking down and realize that he has somehow managed to get me to lean over his body as if I’m about to straddle him. As if I was about to…oh good grief! I hope he didn’t mistake what I was doing…
“I… This is very inappropriate, to be sure,” Isay, scrambling off the bed quickly.
“I didn’t find it inappropriate at all little mate,” he purrs. I ignore that.”I’m obviously tired, not thinking straight.. I gesture to the trackers still laying on this bed. # I’m overwrought with concern for who would be doing this. And, you need your rest. I’ll let you get some sleep,” I say, taking a step toward the door. That’s as far as I get before he speaks.
“I don’t think so doctor. I just told you that you’ll be at my side for the foreseeable future. If you’re leaving,I’ll just have to hop out of bed and follow you,” he says, and I turn to glare at him.
“Does that seem like an appropriate therapeutic approach to you, Beta Charlie?”
“No, Alpha. It doesn’t,” he says, tuming to look at me, not able to hide his smile.
“Yeah, I definitely don’t like you,” I grumble.
“Good to know, since you’re MY mate,” Warren says, his smile becoming feral.
I huff at him. “I need to check on my other patients,” I say to him, really needing to get out of this room with this man’s incredible scent everywhere. It’s making it hard to think.
“Charlie will come with you,” he says.”I don’t need a chaperone, Alpha” I snap.
“Consider him a guard then. It’s him or me,” he says.
I turn, heading to the door. “I don’t like you very much either,” I grumble to myself.
“I’m an acquired taste,” he says.
I yank the door open, turning to see him grinning at me as if he’s won this round of word slinging. As I step out of the room, I have to admit, he probably did.
Warren—
Damn that woman! She’s incredible. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had this much fun instigating someone. Probably never.
When Charlie follows Yara out of the room, I look down at myself. I realize that I’m still covered in dried blood and gore from the battles earlier today, or maybe it’s yesterday now. I’m pretty sure it’s morning now.
While they’re gone, I carefully get out of bed and wrap the sheet around my waist. I couldn’t care less about walking around the pack naked, but I have a mate now. I don’t want her thinking that I’m flaunting myself in front of other she-wolves.
I realize quickly that while my leg is mending, I can’t put my full weight on it yet.
Those missing slivers that our mate mentioned have to be regrown Warren. That takes time, but I’m working as fast as I can, Arric says.
“t’s okay, Buddy. You’re healing me and because of that, we’ll be able to remain Alpha of our pack.’
And claim Yara as our Luna, he says and I can feel his respect and admiration for her, just as I am. As usual, my wolf and I are on the same page. She’s perfect for us.
Yes, she is. And Charlie is right. She provides some much needed humor to this pack.’
I chuckle. ‘Yeah she does.’ Normally I’d have been offended by someone speaking their mind so frankly to me, but not her. I adore it and Charlie and Arric are right. It’s funny to listen to her mumblings because there is very little, if anything, that is ever funny in our lives any more.
‘How long do you think it will be before I’m healed?’ I ask Arric.
‘Another day, at least. I’ll do the best I can, he says, knowing that the longer it takes, the more likely it is that I will be challenged, especially if we’re attacked while I’m recovering.
‘Just do you best, I say, as the door opens again.
“Oh for crying out loud! I let Beta Charlie chaperone me. Why are you out of bed?” Yara asks, obviously perturbed.
“I’m going back to the packhouse. I need a shower. I stink and I’m starting to itch with all this blood on me. And then, I want to eat. I’m famished. You’re coming with me though.””I don’t think so,” she says and I stop.
“Why is that?” I ask her.”I’m leaving.”
“We had this discussion. You’re not leaving.”
“No, YOU said I wasn’t leaving. There was no discussion, and I never agreed to stay.”
I look at her as if I’m trying to remember, tapping my finger on my chin.
“Charlie help me out here. Didn’t Dr. Yara agree to take on my pack hospital and move here indefinitely?” Okay, the indefinitely is a stretch, but I need Yara here to help with my warriors and I’m pretty sure she can’t walk away from that. Besides that, I’m not letting my Luna walk out of my life.
