Chapter 21
I place her gently on a ledge of the tub and grab her a towel to cover herself with. It’s less for her modesty and more for me to keep my breathing regular. I turn the water on warm and walk out to grab her herbal remedies and the salve for her wounds. When I get back to the door, I hear a clatter, and, trying to push it open; I find it locked.
“Ali?” I call out to her.
“I can bathe myself, Alpha Wade.”
“I’m sure you are capable of a normal bath all on your own. This is a medical wound cleaning.” I say, trying to convince her of the innocence of the act. I may be achingly hard, but that doesn’t mean I can’t control myself. Maybe.
“I will be fine.”
“Ali, I promise not to do anything.” There is silence, and I hear her groan in pain. I place my hand on the door, trying to listen for her. The lock pops open and she slowly peeks out around the door.
“Give me a minute to hop in the tub? I need to hear what you ar

*Ali POV* A pounding on my door jolts me out of sleep. The cool air in the room envelops me as I toss away my blankets. I quietly curse whoever is at the door. As I move around in the darkroom, I rely on my memory and senses to guide me through the pitch black. The end of my bed makes way to a clear path straight to the door. If I can make it to the path, I can make it to the door with no lights needed. “Oof-” I stumble forward over fabric that I know had not been there before as I lurch forward, hands reach out to stop my descent, but I slip through them, landing roughly on what I presume is someone’s stomach. “What the fuck?” The groggy voice of Alpha Wade says. I freeze in surprise as I scramble to find my footing. I continue to slip on the silky sleeping bag below and the knocking on the door raps louder. “Ali?” Mason whispers. The door creaks open and the lights flood through the small opening landing on me, str

“And you’re proud of that?” Trudy asks, trying to hurt me. “How did you learn about the properties of the Pansy?” I ask, knowing she won’t answer. She leans forward and spits in my face. I smile nicely, readying myself to cut her down with my words when Wade steps up to me. He lifts his shirt, revealing his impeccable abs, and gently he uses it to wipe the spit from my face. My heart flutters at his action and the tenderness in his eyes. He then releases his shirt and looks at Trudy. “If you do not give us what we are asking for, I will put her in the cage with you.” He says, looking smug. Trudy’s eyes bulge in fear as she looks to Francis, who just nods in agreement. “W-why? You could just use your alpha voice and demand it.” Trudy stutters out. “I want you to tell me of your own accord. Don’t worry, I’ll use it at the end to verify you are telling the truth.” “I did it bec

*Wade POV* Her anger crashes like waves in a tumultuous sea, violently slamming into my barrier. It becomes almost painful trying to keep it up, but I refuse to take it down. Instead, I throw all my thoughts into the tingles on my arm as I hold her away from Frank. A laugh breaks from my lips at everything unfolding. It’s not appropriate to laugh, I know. But I can’t help it. She looks so damn cute when she is angry. “Calm down I whisper in her ear” she just looks up and scowls. I focus again on Trudy. Trudy, who is so desperate to be something she isn’t destined to be, that she destroyed her own mate and poisoned my entire pack. This woman has no idea of the suffering she will endure in these cells. Especially after the news Francis just got. After 4 years of trying to get pregnant, Sammy was finally able to tell Francis that he was going to be a dad. That excitement was short-lived after the doctor informed them th

*Ali POV*“Alpha, I really think we need someone to come and train the warriors.” Kane pleads. Wade frowns at the paper in his hand and looks over at me thoughtfully. He looks like he might actually say something, but he thinks better of it and looks over the paper again. Francis and Sammy have left the pack for a vacation. An odd time to leave if you ask me, but it’s not my place to question the Beta of the pack. Since then Wade and Kane have taken to training the warriors of the pack. I provide input but my task is not to train. My task is to protect the alpha, so at almost every training I sit near him and I either watch or I train myself with my weapons. They have a few promising warriors, but the rest are awful. What they really need is a solid trainer. “Ali,” Wade says, looking at me once again. “No.” I shake my head, knowing what he is going to say. “No, I have a mission. Your safety. I can hardly keep you safe if I am focusing on training warriors while you leave pack lands

I’m up early as per usual, sitting at my spot at the kitchen counter with my gear on and ready to go at a moment’s notice. Wade has been up and sitting in his office waiting for Alpha Liam to arrive. I nervously chew on my nails, waiting for the knock on the front door. I haven’t seen Liam since I was 18 years old. He was my very first mission. The only thing that rivals his fighting abilities is his ego. Liam is known throughout the werewolf community for being the fiercest warrior on the continent. His pack is strictly trained, eats only certain foods, and runs 50k daily after their shifts. He is frightening and sexy and the only man I have ever fallen in love with. Even if he wasn’t my fated other half. No Guardian bond break has hurt as much as ours did. “Ali!” Wade says, waving his hands in front of my face. “Sorry. What?” I ask, and he frowns at me. “You seem worried,” Wade says as he leans on the counter acros

“Ali!” Liam calls to me from the training arena. “Come and spar with me!” I shake my head no as I stand near Wade, who talks with a few of the guest warriors. Liam doesn’t like my answer. He jogs over and reaches for my hand, which I move behind my back. “Ah, come on, babe. Let’s show everyone how good of a fighter you have become.” Liam places his hands on my shoulders and pulls me towards him. Reaching across, I grab his right wrist, spin underneath, and put Liam in a submissive position. He chuckles at me and reaches out, swiping my leg, placing himself between my thighs. He reaches up for my arms, trying to pin them. I place my foot on his leg, duck under his arm, and kick with all my might, sliding out from under him. Shifting my weight, I roll to the side and pop back up on my feet. I step next to Wade again. I place my hands behind my back, at

*Wade POV*Having Liam here is supposed to be a relief. Instead, I feel like I’m in high school fighting for the attention of the popular girl who only looks my way because she has to. Ali is her own person. I have no claim on her. Other than this bond that I’m realizing is making my life harder than it needs to be. My head feels like a war zone of emotions that aren’t mine vs emotions I shouldn’t even be having for someone I can’t have. That’s what makes it even worse. Wanting to lay claim to her, to hold her close and make her mine, but knowing she can’t ever be. Unless, by some twisted fate, she turns out to be my actual mate. But until then I get to watch the man she loves relentlessly throw himself at her. To top it all off, he is the Alpha of the most prominent warrior pack. I’m just some weak lowly Alpha who needs protecting. “Alpha” Ali calls to me softly.I shift in the chair to look at her. She is propped up in my office so I can work and she can be near me if I need her fo

*Ali POV* “Robin,” I say, smiling as I limp into her room. “Ali!” Robin looks over from her bed, and her face brightens up. She still looks pale, but at least she is awake and smiling. I can feel some tension in my shoulders melt away at finally being able to land my eyes on her. I hate that she heals like a human. That’s how it is with born omegas, though. They get to know the werewolf world from the inside without ever fully experiencing it. I was fortunate enough to have been born with a wolf. Because they ripped my wolf from me before my first change, parts of her still live inside me. Like healing abilities, speed, smell, and strength. Tearing every part of her out would have killed me since we are woven together until the wolf can be their own unit and thus the change occurs. I was strangely blessed in that way. It is uncommon to separate a child from their wolf before the wolf fully develops since it’s essentially t
