Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 194: The Mark of a Mate

Moana

Edrick was bleeding out below me. I needed to mark him if I wanted him to survive, but he didn’t want me to. He said that it would be bad for the baby; he even admitted that the drops he was putting in my coffee were to specifically prevent this. But he didn’t know that I hadn’t been drinking my coffee, and I could mark him then and there.

“I won’t let you die,” I said firmly as I held Edrick’s hand in mine.

Behind us, Ethan and several Rogues were fighting with the police. It was a flurry of chaos in that abandoned warehouse, and I wasn’t sure what would happen if Edrick died. Ethan and the Rogues, who were likely hired by him, were certain to kill us. I couldn’t stop thinking about little Ella, who was still asleep in the cop car. Even Kelly was lying hopelessly in the corner, still unconscious. The cops were struggling with Ethan and the Rogues, and I knew that they needed Edrick’s help. If I marked him and healed him, then he would have the strength to fight better than anyone else there because his mate was at his side.

But Edrick’s eyes widened and he shook his head, despite the fact that blood was pooling up around him.

“No,” he said. “It’s too dangerous for you to mark me. Not with the baby inside of you. Just run, and one of the police will get you somewhere safe.”

I shook my head. “I already said that I won’t let you die,” I whispered. “I love you, Edrick.”

The Alpha billionaire’s eyes widened even further. Before he could respond, I suddenly bent down and pressed my lips against his, kissing him deeply.

Inside of me, I could feel my wolf’s power surge. She was searching for Edrick’s wolf so that they could mark each other. Due to Edrick’s injuries, however, his wolf was weak and Mina struggled to find him.
