Chapter 23

Warren

I watch as Yara walks out of the hospital. I take another step to follow her but a wall of warriors steps in my way.

I snarl, ready to fight my way to her.

“Alpha, give her some space. If you push her now, you could lose her forever,” Savannah says. “The warriors will watch over her. We’ve all obviously learned to love our Luna in a very short amount of time.”

That’s the understatement of the fucking millennium. I can’t believe my pack just basically turned on me to protect Yara. Shit, if she was so inclined, they’d probably take her as their fucking Alpha. Although, it didn’t escape me that she told them that she’d be disappointed in them if they tried to fight me in my current state. Disappointed, not angry. A true Luna.

“Come on, Alpha. Let’s get you stitched up. It looks like our Luna got your bones all reset, but I’ll take a look.”

When we get back to the room, I look at her. “Savannah, I need a phone.”

“I’ll find one after I finish this.”

“No, I need it now. If I’m going to fix things with my mate, I need to do it before it can’t be undone.”

“Yes, Alpha,” she says, going to get me a phone,

Yara’s words ring in my ears. ‘He’s a terrible mate.‘ FUCK! She’s right. While my intentions had been purely to protect Yara, erasing her from the school would cause a lot of problems that I’m not sure even I could fix.

As soon as she’s back, I call the warrior that Charlie sent to the university.

“Alpha, is everything alright? I heard we were attacked again last night. Do you need me to come back?”

“Archie, where are you at with erasing Yara’s presence from the school?”

“I’ve cleaned out her dorm room, Alpha. I’m just about to wipe her records from the educational system.”

“Don’t. Leave them.”

“Are you sure, Alpha?”

“Yes, but make a copy. She may need to transfer to a werewolf university,” I say.

“Yes, Alpha,” he says and we hang up.

‘He’s a terrible mate.’ Her words keep playing in my mind. I’ve wanted nothing more than her my entire adult life and now, I find out I’m terrible at being a mate. I probably am. I don’t know the first thing about being compassionate or loving. I know about fighting and war. But I’m willing to learn, for her. I can become whatever she needs me to be, she just needs to give me a chance.
