Chapter 36

Chad's POV

I held Bella in my arms on our way back. She understood my wolf's need. Only the fact that she was in my arms was the only thing preventing me from going back and tear fucking Jasper's body in half. How did he know Bella was going shopping today? I clenched my fists as anger started to build inside me again. Bella, who was nestled against me, felt me tense. She cupped my cheek and kissed me tenderly.

I grabbed her arm when I saw the red marks on her wrist where that asshole had grabbed her. A growl rumbled from my chest. "Stop the damn car, Dane!! I will kill him!" I said through gritted teeth, my voice hoarse with rage. Bella threw her body over me, preventing me from opening the door.

"Please, don't Chad. This is nothing. The bruises will fade. Stay with me, would you?" Her heart was beating fast. I stared into her baby-blue eyes, and I knew I was never going to be able to deny her anything. She could ask me for my life, and I would lay it in front of her proudly.
