Chapter 15

“I have to pee,” I stated. I was firm with my voice so there was no room for question.

“Fine,” Grayson nodded to Brian in the front seat.

We pulled over to some random truck stop about five miles later and I’m finally able to pee and stretch my legs.

Grayson apparently never drank or ate or peed like a normal wolf but I did. I know he’s desperate to get back to his land so the scent will be on me. The scent of my lands was fading from me quickly and anyb*dy would see me as a rogue and could try and take me. Unmarked and unscented I was vulnerable and his worry was sweet. Still his pace was relentless.

I walked out of the car and started heading for the building to relive myself.

“Wait,” Grayson grabbed me by hand this time.

“What now!” I huffed I was about to burst.

He gave me a stern look I swore only parents could give. “Ella is going with you since Brian can’t, you have to wait for her,”

“I think I’ll be alright going to the bathroom, Grayson. I know I’m vulnerable but let me pee!” I begged. I could not wait for Matt and Ella.

“Annette please,”

“Grayson I would wait if I could but I have to go I’m not gonna be able to hold it,”

“Fine,” he let go.

And that was when I realized how wonderful it was to hold his hand. He could walk to the restroom if he was so worried. He could protect me.

“Let’s go,” he handed his phone to Brian.

I gladly gave him a bright beaming face. He was coming. I mean yes he was coming to the bathroom. But he was coming himself. He wasn’t pushing me onto someone else.

We started walking and his hand found my back again. I stepped more into his arm feeling his warmth spread through my b*dy.

My back was tingling by the time I got out and went to get something from the vending machine. I grabbed a bunch of snacks for everyone humming to myself ecstatic at his attention.

I walked back out and he put his hand back where it belonged.
