Chapter 16
Xena's POV
William wasn't the same person I'd seen before. The air around him was intense. His hands gripped the necks of Helen's two helpers tightly, his knuckles white with pressure.
"Come to Alpha Hank's office with Alpha Benedict tomorrow. We'll settle the details there," Logan said, his voice carrying the authority he'd been born to wield.
"We'll be there," Ryder responded, glancing at Helen before asking Logan, "Your cell or
mine?"
"Mine," I answered for Logan. Ryder stared at me for a second, then nodded in agreement.
"No!" Helen cried out, struggling against Logan's restraint, her voice shrill with panic.
"I've got the SUV at the door," Leonard announced as he rushed over, dangling the keys in
his hand.
"Samuel," Logan nodded, then looked toward Samuel, gesturing toward the door with a tilt
of his head.
Samuel approached me without asking how I felt. He simply examined my injuries silently before lifting me in a bridal carry, carefully avoiding my major wounds. Still, I had to bite down on his shoulder to stifle a scream of pain. He stood still, letting me adjust, waiting for the pain to subside. After a moment, I released his shoulder and rested my head against his chest.
The damn pain was nearly suffocating, but I refused to show weakness in front of outsiders. I could feel the warmth of Samuel's chest, his heartbeat steady and strong, offering me an unexpected comfort.
"Bitch," I muttered as Samuel carried me toward the door, turning right toward the back
exit.
William escorted the two girls behind us, with Ryder following close behind. They headed in the opposite direction, toward the main entrance.
"Um, Blade?" Ama looked at us and then at William with concern clouding her face.
