She stands up, pulling her hood up and picking up herptop before she walks past me, not waiting for


    an answer. Her small frame disappears, and I frown, her words hanging in the air.


    Matt… he died helping me… Adriana and Ada are in trouble. Who knows who else.


    Should I band a team together? Is the Alpha in me even capable of protecting a pack? My eyes sh,


    my wolf surging forward.


    Yeah, I fucking am.


    Frowning, I leave the abandoned t and walk back to my bike.


    Even if I don’t want to, I know that, but the truth is, someone has to step up..


    It’s raining by the time I get back to the city. I’ve had someone watch the hospital to make sure Valerie’s


    ok. Even though I know it’s a risk letting her work, in a crowded hospital she’ll be ok. Besides, this is


    Valerie. She’ll go crazy sitting at home.


    I’m already checking through the staff and will have the information I need by tomorrow of all personnel


    who work in that hospital.


    I look at my phone, cocking a brow at Damien’s message.

    DAMIEN: There are two werewolves who have been watching the hospital since morning, and I think


    they’re watching her too.


    ZADE: Ignore them, her brother sent them, but find out from them and quote the code I gave you


    earlier.


    DAMIEN: Understood.


    Atticus had told me this morning that he’ll also be posting some guards and when ites to her


    safety, I’m not taking any risks.


    I slip my phone into my pocket, thinking I promised her the night… Maybe I should get her something.


    I’ve never brought a gift in my life. What do you get someone whose worth is far more than anything


    can equate to?


    I drive towards the town centre. Maybe I’ll see something that catches my attention. Getting off my


    bike, I shove my hands into my pockets as I nce up at the cloudy sky.


    What does Valerie like?


    I window shop, hating the look of the crowded store window disys and pause. outside a gift shop,


    spotting something in the corner of the window disy…


    I nce towards the entrance, hesitating. Would it be weird?


    Fuck it.


    I walk inside, ignoring the looks I’m getting and find what I’m looking for. Once I’ve paid, I step out with


    the small bag and continue looking around. Shopping is fucking hard, especially when it’s for things like


    this.


    I nce at the time on my watch, but it hasn’t actually been as long as it feels. I still have plenty of


    time… Ie to a sudden stop staring at the disy of yet another shop and stare at an item, knowing


    what I’m getting her.


    We’re soaked by the time we’re home, but neither of us minds, it’s nothing a shower won’t fix. She


    wraps her arm tighter around me as I park up, cing my hand over hers that are holding me tightly.


    “You alright?”


    “Mhmm, you’re warm,” she murmurs. Leaning back, I remove my helmet, looking at her over my


    shoulder.


    “Long day at work, huh?”


    She nods, removing hers and she jumps off the bike, her hair instantly getting soaked. I get off too,


    wanting to get her inside quickly.


    I grab the bag from the bike and kiss her lips softly. I’m about to lead her inside. when she grips my


    face tighter, kissing me harder. Awakening the desire within


    1. me.


    Fuck…


    I grab her waist, deepening the kiss, my free hand tangling in her hair as I kiss her harder, slipping my


    tongue into her mouth as I ravish every inch.


    She moans into my lips, and I can’t help but smirk a little, throbbing hard. She wants me and I’m ready


    to make her squirt….


    “Fuck.” She breathes, feeling me against her stomach. I pull back as I unlock the door and we step


    inside. A quick assessment of the area tells me things are safe and I lock the door after us.


    She takes her jacket off, brushing her hair back. “I’m going to go take a shower. See you soon,


    handsome,” she says, kissing my cheek before she pulls away and


    +15 BONUS


    walks into the bedroom.


    I watch her ass until she disappears from sight and look down at the bag I’m holding.


    The urge to simply put it out of sight almost overtakes me, but instead, I enter the bedroom and take


    out the frame I bought her, to rece the one that broke…


    I ce the other two boxes beside the frame on the bedside table. She’ll see them when shees


    out and I’ll be in the bathroom and don’t have to face her when


    she does.


    This is awkward as fuck. 1


    I nce around the bedroom before looking towards the open door.


    This is it… she’s mine…


    Sex is sex… but with her, it’s not going to be just sex… it’s going to be far more… I’ll be baring my soul


    to her… that’s something I’ve not done with anyone… but no matter how fucking terrifying that sounds,


    she’s my destination, she’s my home, and I’m ready for it.
