Chapter 80
Caden’s POV
When Raphael comes, he’s accompanied by Alex, some strong knights that I know, and the pack doctor.
I finally shift into my human form and like I expected, the b a s t a r d under me uses that opportunity running again. He doesn’t get far when Alex has him pressed against a tree with his fingers clenched around his neck.
“Do that again and that will be the last breath that you take?” Alex threatens menacingly.
to start
The idiot had the brain to take Alex’s words seriously and he raises his hands above his head in surrender. Alex pulls him away from the tree and pushes him onto the ground where he lands in a heap with a whine.
Taking my gaze away from them, I turn my attention to Alessia. Alessia who is naked in front of many wandering eyes.
“Give me your shirt, I grit out through clenched teeth at Raphael. I hate to have another male’s scent all over her but my choices are slim to none here. Rapheal’s shirt is just going to have to make do.
His brows pinch together but without any complaint, he shrugs off his plain white t-shirt and hands it over
to me.

I walk over to Alessia, ignoring my nakedness, and drop to my knees by her side. I place a palm on her shoulder and she turns her gaze away from Jake’s wolf where he’s currently being checked on by the pack doctor.
“He’s going to be ok, I tell her, even though I don’t believe my own words. The wound I saw was ghastly and possibly life-threatening but hopefully, the pack doctor and his skills will be able to help him pull through it.
“It’s all my fault.” Her face crumbles, another wave of tears sliding down her face.
I keep quiet because what exactly do I have to say to that?

I don’t know why I didn’t notice this change before but now that I’ve seen it, it’s all that I can look at. “What happened to your arm; It’s suppose to have healed by now.” 1 grip her shoulder, pulling her closer to me to get a good look at the wound.
She drags her arm out of my hold, her face still scrunched up in pain. “It’s ok. It’s just a little wound. It’ll heal up soon enough.” She pulls on the cloth, whining throughout the whole process and making my worry deepen.
“It doesn’t look like it’s healing,” I say, gripping her shoulder again and drawing the sleeve of the shirt up to see her arm. The smell and look of it isn’t reassuring.
“It’s fine,” she bites out, s n a t c h i n g her arms out of my hold and biting her lips with pain etched on her face.

That’s it.
“Let’s go see the pack doctor and have him take a look at your arm.” I’m already on my feet and reaching
out a hand to pull her up.
She ignores my outstretched hand, still sitting on the dirty ground, and shakes her head in defiance and stubbornness. “He’s treating Jake and he needs more attention than I do.”
I clench
my teeth in annoyance, the worry inside me heightening as her skin flushes, sweat breaking out across her forehead. The fact that her words are sounding slurry isn’t helping matters.
“He will just take a quick look at the wound and that’s all.” One minute away from Jake isn’t going to lead to
his death.
“I’m fine.” She stands up and s t a g g e r s and I quickly reach out for her, wrapping my hands around her waist and pulling her into my chest. Her head falls onto my shoulder, her breath coming out of my pants. “I j- just-
