Mated To The King’s Gamma By Jessica Hall

Chapter 39

Chapter 39

I lose track of time and didn’t come back to my surroundings until Kade shook my shoulder, making me jump back. “We are here, love,” he tells me and I blink.

We had arrived already?i glance around to find it was late at night, yet this wasn’t the packhouse that Kade had told me about. There was no huge sandstone mansion or gardens, no fountains and tall hedges and or any people in sight. I look at the run down cabin we had parked out the front of in confusion

“Where are we?” I ask him, noticing this place was completely isolated and surrounded by forest.

“A safe house. We have been having issues with neighboring packs. We don’t want to alert them to your existence. It would put you in danger,” he says. My brows furrow and I go to say something, yet he was already climbing out of the car. The wind was harsh as he walked around, opening my door. I climb out, rubbing my arms before retrieving my bag.

“How long will we stay here for?” I ask him, looking at the tiny porch that sloped on one side. The door had a huge crack and a chunk missing from the bottom corner.

“You will stay here until the mess is sorted with the other pack,” he says while fiddling with his keys.

“Wait you aren’t staying with me?” I asked, peering around at the tress, and into the shadowing darkness.

“No, I need to head home. Keep up appearances. If I don’t return, they may come looking for me, which isn’t safe for you,” he tells me.

“But this place is safe?” I ask him. He nods his head.

“I will stay for a little bit. I sent a list to my men. They stocked everything for you. Come on, I will show you inside,” he tells me. He ushers me to follow him before unlocking the door. He has to kick it a few times to get it to un-stick; the door was swollen from what looked like water damage. Stepping inside, the place was a dump, rubbish strewn everywhere, and it reminded me of some of the old abandoned buildings near the orphanage.

Inside was a double bed, the mattress heavily stained. No, actually, I believe it is a futon. Kade flicks the lights on and they flicker as he moves toward the kitchen

“You’ll find everything you need here. I will bring more supplies and food as soon as I can. But with a tidy up it should be quite cozy,” he says. He hunts around in the tiny kitchen, that I could reach my leg out from the bed to touch the counter it was that close. He returns with a box of matches and passes them to me.

“I need to go, but I will return tomorrow. Firewood is around back. You may need to chop some up. Some fresh bed linen is over there and food is in the pantry and fridge.” he tells me.
