Don't Poke the Luna (Xena and Ryder)

Chapter 68

Chapter 69

Ryder's POV

"Not like that," Logan said, leaning against the hospital wall. "Samuel's always been like a big brother to her. Sure, they hook up occasionally, but it never goes beyond that." His voice dropped lower. "I ordered Samuel never to take it further. She doesn't know about that part. But when Martha is at her worst, she does use him to relieve the stress. Samuel

knows this, but he fell for her anyway."

I felt my wolf stir at the thought of another man touching Xena, but I pushed the jealousy

aside. "Good to know."

"Do you love her?" Logan asked bluntly.

"Yes." I answered without hesitation.

Logan nodded, seemingly satisfied with my response. "Good. She needs a strong man to

take care of her. I know I can't play that role forever." He ran a hand through his hair. "I'll try to stay out of the way, but damn it, I'll always be there for her. After the Rogue attack,

seeing her injured like that-I'll never forget it."

I stared at the ceiling, recalling the aftermath of the fight. "I was hoping to make it back to the pack before I passed out. Honestly, I didn't even feel the pain at first. All I could think about was getting her home, making sure she was safe." The memory still sent chills through me.

"She won't be going to school tomorrow-it's Wednesday." Logan shifted his weight. "Truth is, she could have tested out of high school back in eighth grade.”

"I'm guessing you'll increase security on Friday?" I asked, thinking ahead to the upcoming pack event.

"Yes."

"I'll send my men too."

"We'd appreciate that."

"Anything for her," I said quietly.
