Chapter 404

Chapter 0404

She stands up, pulling her hood up and picking up her laptop 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 flash,

my wolf surging forward.

Yeah, I fucking am.

Frowning, I leave the abandoned flat 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 it comes 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 glance up at the cloudy sky.

What does Valerie like?

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

spotting something in the corner of the window display…

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

time… I come to a sudden stop staring at the display 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, placing 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

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 replace the one that broke…

I place the other two boxes beside the frame on the bedside table. She’ll see them when she comes

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 glance 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.
