Chapter 89

Haynes

As we drive to Simon’s park. I look over at my mate. She’s staring out the window and I can feel her nervousness through our bond.

“What’s on your mind, beautiful”

She turns and looks at me, smiling bashfully. She’s used to worrying on her own without anyone noticing or caring. She’s still struggling with me being in her mind, constantly focused on her thoughts and emotions. She loves it when we’re in berl together, but at times like this, she forgets, and I think it embarrasses her to get caught.

“Have you ever done anything like this before?” she asks me.

“Nope, I’ve never been a Gamma before. Just a warrior, like you

She turns, looking back out the window.

“You didn’t answer my question,” I say. I’m glad that it’s just us. I wouldn’t be so direct if there were others in the van with us. But since we had to bring so many vans, we doubled up and I made sure that my mate came with me.

“How do you know we won’t be attacked when we arrive?” she asks.

I shrug. “I don’t. We might, but I doubt there are very many warriors left and any that are left will be young, too inexperienced to have fought with Simon, or suffering from a broken mate bond. There could be other warriors left to patrol the pack, that’s possible, but I doubt it. Simon was focused on getting our Luna. He doesn’t strike me as the type of Alpha that cared about his pack.”

“So you’re not worried about possibly walking into a fight?” she asks.

I shrug. “How is that any different than what our lives have been like until now? Why, are you nervous about it?”

I watch as she thinks through my question. I feel the turmoil in her. She likes knowing what she’s walking into and the not knowing is making her nervous.

“What’s the worst thing that could happen?” I ask.

She turns and looks at me and now I understand the fear.

“I could lose you,” she says, barely above a whisper.

I take her hand and pull it to my mouth, kissing it while watching the road.

“I’m not Noelle, Laney. I’m a strong warrior and I know you’ve spent a large portion of your life trying to keep her safe, but you don’t have to worry about me. I’m not going anywhere. My life has improved dramatically since I met you. I’m not giving that up. I’m not letting some asshole take me out now, just when I’ve found you and I finally get a taste of the life that I’ve always wanted. No way that’s happening. I have too much to live for now, and not only that, but I have a kick–ass mate who I know will always have my back. So, even if someone gets past me, there’s no way they’re getting past her,” I say, smiling when I see her lips twitching.

“Yeah, she is pretty awesome,” she says, chuckling.

“She’s the most incredible woman I’ve ever met,” I say seriously. And that’s ;

I feel her settle as we talk. The fear is still there, but it’s not at risk of overwhelming her.
