Chapter 406

Instead, Maxwell had called to say he was busy with pack business and wouldn't be coming home. I had broken down in tears at yet another broken promise.

Lily had comforted me, blowing on my hand and saying it would make it feel better. This was a way for us to express our care for each other.

"Alpha Blackwood, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," the flustered healer asked. "Did I hurt you?"

His Alpha instincts were checking for any signs of distress. The concern in his voice made my wolf settle slightly.

"I'm fine," I replied, shaking my head. My wolf relaxed under his concerned attention.
