“In his office.” Steele looked at me. “Maybe give him some time.”

“I’m not sure what he expected. I’m not a twelve-year-old learning how to fight for the first time. This isn’t even my worst injury.”

“No, but you are the first person he’s cared about. He’s maybe trying a little too hard. It doesn’t come natural for everyone.”

“Come natural? Do you realize how that sounds?”

Steele did a quiet laugh. That was more to himself than to me. “Yeah. I do.” He wasn’t looking at me anymore, but remember a memory that gave him some happiness. “Cut him some slack? Maybe not too much, but give him a chance to try to be a good mate?”

“Maybe you need to have another conversation with him about treating me like an equal and not a doll that needs its ass wiped.”

“You have a way with words.” Steele got up on his feet. “I’ll talk to him if you promise to stop being so hard on him. You may not see the difference, but Maddox has done a complete 180 since he met you.”

“Maybe let him go back a few deg

    Maddox POV Tatum was so tightly against my chest that I wasn’t sure how I was going to get out of here. The sparks that spread around my body were stronger than they were last week. It wasn’t something I had to think about feeling anymore. This was something I felt without even thinking. Like when you touched an electric ball with your fingertips. Jo and Vivian knocked on the door softly before they quietly let themselves in. “Is she sleeping?” Jo asked in the mind-link.“She is. She hasn’t slept good and just finally drifted off.” Shoving my pillow between us, Vivian slip in as I worked myself out so there was still someone for Tatum to lay against. The pillow would allow her to smell my scent. She either realized how much her body responds to mine and won’t admit it, or is that clueless. My guess is she knew, just won’t say it out loud. “I’m going to shower and head down.” Jo moved on her other side, nestling in to her. I have always thought of Jo and Vivian as my sister. Seeing

    Instead of a van, which I expected. Cade had a whole ambulance and gurney for me to use, so I stayed laying down. Maddox was sitting in a chair with his leg out, as I got pushed inside. Cade shut the doors and got in the driver’s seat as Jo got in the passenger’s. I was still heavy on the pain meds and barely remembered the drive back to Maddox’s pack. Even then, Steel, Spencer, and a few other guards carried me up the stairs and helped me get into bed. It was so soft and comfortable that I was ready to fall asleep at any time. “Maddox?” I called out as the door was shut and the lights were off.“Yes, princess?” His tired voice sounded from the corner of the room.“Are… are you coming to bed?” “No.” Maddox sounded more stern. “Please. I mean, if it won’t hurt you.” “I’m fine. You just focus on you.” “Maddox, come to bed.” I snapped back. There was a soft chuckle before I heard him limp his way over to his side and slowly sink down. “I don’t want to hurt you.” He whispered as he

    The movie kept playing at Alpha William, and my dad had to keep Maddox from getting up. Cade jumped in the ambulance with me. Needles were being pushed in, more fluid going in me. Cade had tears in his eyes, telling me to hold on. It would go black again before something else would flash again. This time, people were running, and Cade was being pushed back as I kept going. Even brighter, harsher white lights instantly blinded me. The smell of alcohol, white and blood filled my senses just before I was completely knocked out. It was only the sound of someone crying that woke me up for good and, more annoyingly, so. “Jo, you have to stop.” Cade’s voice was trying to soothe her. “She is going to make it.” “Yes, please stop.” My voice was barely above a whisper, and my eyes didn’t want to work. “Did she just talk?” I heard Maddox’s voice. “Tate? Honey, talk to me.” Cade’s soft voice was instantly beside me. “Make Jo (cough, cough) stop crying.” She started laughing, yet cried even

    Her head was barely above the water when he lowered his face and growled in hers. As opened his mouth to attack, more wolves appeared just above the cliff. Their growls caused the wolf to immediately take off running. I watched as four wolves jumped the creek and took after him. “He’s down here!” Steele’s voice barked orders as he ran down. Letting out a soft yip, Steele’s eyes instantly locked with mine. “Someone get her out of the water and get her a blanket!” Two men in only gym shorts ran down to me. “Can you shift?” Holding up my paw, their eyes went wide. “MEDIC!” One shouted. “Tom and Vincent. Get down here and help her wolf up.” Two wolves were beside me instantly. The first one gently nudged under me and the other allowed me to use him as a crutch as I limped my way up the creek bed. After slipping the second time, a third some came splashing down and pushed me from behind to give me enough forced to break the barrier. “Lay her here.” Two guys came over with very officia

    My back slammed against a tree, making everything crack that shouldn’t. I watched in horror as I fell to the ground as Maddox’s car rolled over and over again. Until it fell from my view and down into the creek. “Cade?” I whispered, hoping he could hear me. Three wolves looked over the edge at Maddox. They way they looked at each other, I knew they were mind-linking. I wasn’t sure what condition Maddox was in, but I would not allow him to die. Mate or not. With every ounce of strength I had, I forced myself to my feet. My shoes were ripped from my body, my dress was torn, and my bracelet was gone. The only advantage I had was the fact they didn’t seem to realize I wasn’t in the car anymore. One wolf stayed up top, while I watched the other two slowly advance down the creek bed. This was my chance to kill at least one. Clawing it’s neck would be the easiest way since it was too big for me to snap it. My heart raced as I heard the sound of metal being bent as I got closer and closer.

    “I just wanted a chance to talk to you without your bodyguards around you. I could see it in your eyes that you felt the same way I did in Maddox’s office. You couldn’t speak freely there, but you can here.” He walked up to me with a look in his eyes that made my innate panic mode switch on. “I’m sorry, but I’m not going to take you up on your offer. I believe in the mate bond.” My voice was level, steady, and strong. Even my wolf was growling in my head, ready to attack if needed. There was a knock on the door before the handle shook. Reed was behind me with his hand over my mouth. “TATUM?” Steele’s voice echoed through the music. Since we weren’t part of the same pack, I couldn’t mind-link him. “CADE!” I said in the only person I could think of. “REED HAS ME!” He didn’t respond, but I could feel the anger through the mind-link. “Since I probably only have 30 seconds, let me make myself clear.” Reed turned me around. I tried to knee him in the balls, but he was quicker and blocke
