Chapter 50

“Bring me that wolf,” I ordered Brian.

“No!” She interrupted him grabbing his arm. “The alpha will interrogate the intruder when he’s been treated and has a clear mind,”

“Annette,” I sighed rubbing my thumbs on her hips.

“You’re bleeding,” she looked up at me backing away. Her cheek was covered in red and I stepped forward cupping her face covering it. “I want him punished,”

“He will be,” she stated, jaded ice reaching her eyes. The surety in her statement she made so fluidly would scare any man but it filled me with pride.

“Brian guard the stairwell I’m going to tend the the alphas wound. Have the guest room prepared for Amaria and her things moved here,” she directed her guard.

“Also station extra guards around the forest this evening, find out how they got in,” She finished lacing her finger through mine and leading me up stairs.

Her hands were soft. What could have happened if one of those wolves had gotten to her. I grabbed her finger and k*ssed the back of her hand. I wanted her safe, it was my responsibility to protect her.

“Are you alright?” I asked her as she closed our bedroom door.

She kept her face away from me her hands resting on the door.

“I saw the bear charge you….” She whispered. A small sob came out of her.

Small sounds never phased me before but that one cry and I was a broken man.

“I’m alright,” I came up behind her taking her hands off the door and holding them, keeping my arms wrapped around her. Her small back solidly against my chest as I k*ssed the top of her head.

“I couldn’t focus on anything so I went to the moon pool just to make sure you were okay 1-” she wavered in her words and gathered a breath. “I just wanted to know you were safe,”

She briskly left my arms and went to the bathroom.

“I’m not upset Annette, those enemy wolves shouldn’t have been in the forest at all,” I placed my hand on her back.

“You need to take off your shirt,” she sniffled.

“Excuse me?” I chuckled. I had missed her too but this is not what I thought we were going to do.

“I need to see to your wounds,” She looked at me pleadingly.

“Of course,” I grabbed the hem of my shirt and tried to pull it over my head but the tears of flesh around my shoulder
