The Alpha King’s Human Mate

Chapter 95 Chapter 95

“Congratulations. You have survived the war. Now live with the trauma.”

Thad seen plenty of werewolves shift into their wolf forms in the years Pd lived at my father’s pack, usually in training. However, I’d never seen one quite this large. Griffin’s wolf form was massive and rippling with muscles underneath his

dark fur.

Of course, I only got a moment to take in his shifted form.

One second our eyes had locked ~ my jaw slack and Griffin still clutching what used to be Liam’s throat in his mouth ~

and the next, Griffin had shifted into his human form and was crushing me in his arms. In the process, Aria was pushed to

the side.

His face nuzzled into the crook of my neck as my arms automatically wrapped around him.

“Mate,” he growled into my neck, “Mate. Mate. Mine. My little fox.” It felt like deja vu – the last time I’d heard Griffin

sound like a wind-up toy, it’d been the first time we met.

But this time, there was no fear as he cradled me into his chest, Chapter 95

breathing in my scent.

AIL felt was safe.

We were both safe, and the threat was gone.

I’m not sure how long I stayed like that, wrapped up in Griffin’s arms until he pulled away to look at me. His eyes were as

intense as I’d ever

seen them, shining with something dark and wild.

As soon as he pulled away, I craved the warmth of his arms but I let him look at me, let his eyes roam over my body. “Are

you hurt?” he asked, his voice barely above a growl.

“Ym fine,” I rasped, but from the way his eyes lingered on my neck, I knew it was already too late for that lie.

His fingers brushed against my throat, but as light as his touch was, I still flinched.

“You’re not fine,” he growled with narrowed eyes. “Who did this to you?”

“His name was Ezra,” I said. His eyes widened just a fraction. “Was?” “Was,” I repeated.

Understanding dawned on his face, and perhaps it was my imagination, Chapter 95

but I could’ve sworn I saw something else in his expression ~ respect.

“Don’t speak,” he said, “I don’t want you to aggravate the injury anymore, not until a healer has looked at it. We can talk

about it after that.” He paused before adding, “If you want.”

I nodded, ignoring the sting of pain as I did so.

Griffin rose from the floor of the pack house, using one of his hands to pull me up and envelop me in his arms again.

This is when I realized something I hadn’t before: Griffin was completely naked.

I suppose it shouldn’t have shocked me. Wolves were always naked whenever they shifted back to their human forms,

and any clothes they’d been wearing before were usually torn to shreds. For this reason, most packs kept extra sets of

clothing in the woods.

Griffin didn’t seem bothered by his nakedness, not even when one of his warriors burst through the door.

The warrior immediately averted his eyes from us, bowing his head. “Your Majesties,” he said, “We’ve rounded up the

enemies as you instructed, My King. We’re just waiting for you.”
