บททั้งหมดของ Bite Me, Alpha Cole: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Cole  Don’t look at her ass, don’t look at her ass, I growl to myself inwardly, willing myself to resist as Nadia walks away from the fire, her water bottle clutched tight in her hand.Come on, Cole, I say to myself. Don’t be a complete creep.Do it, my wolf urges – a soft, reverent whisper.I clench my jaw, shoving him away. Nadia has made it very clear that she is not, at all, interested in my advances – which would probably include me checking her out from afar.Shayne moves to sit next to me on the log, her footsteps crunching on branches, and in that very tiny moment of distraction…my eyes drop.As fasten precisely on Nadia’s…fairly perfect ass.My jaw tightens – god damn it – how is it possible that – even in scrubs –I force my eyes shut.“Oh my god,&

NadiaThe young woman turns back to me. “Eyes on you?” she asks, tilting her head to the side. “Why?”“Um!” I say, panicking a little. “Quick…visual exam!” My hand darts to the pocket of my scrubs and quickly pulls out a light pen, which I use to give the girl a lightning-fast eye exam that she certainly doesn’t need.She still looks at me strangely for a moment as I confirm that her vision is just fine, but I stand straight, making eye contact with Jeanie, who’s set up a table at the front of the room. When I nod, she waves back and bends to speak with one of her counselors, letting her know that this young lady is ready for her chat.I give the young wolf a smile and confirm that her counselor will be there in a moment before heading for the nursing desk, ready for my next task.Grace catches up with me as I walk, falling into step. “Crazy, isn’t it?” she whispers, looking around, worried.“I know,” I say, wrapping my arms around myself – not cold just…worried. So anxious for all of

NadiaWhen I raise my head again I groan, feeling like my head is full of cotton. I work my tongue in my sticky mouth – desperate for some water –Like a wish granted, my eyes fall on the bottle of it resting on the pillow next to me. I frown for a second before I grab it, twisting off the top and taking a long sip as I read the note next to it.Gone to dinner with the Prince because we are fancy. Love you Na-na, you dehydrated psychopath workaholic! Come join us when you wake up!I smirk, looking at the line of scrawled hearts and stars that follow the words, knowing immediately who wrote it even if it’s unsigned.I sigh and sit up, looking around at my familiar little bed, wondering…how the hell I got here. And then a desperate little frown takes my lips as I realize that there’s only one realistic answer to that question. One I don’t like at all.It takes a minute to gather some of my stuff, but then I head into the bathroom for a quick, much-needed shower and tooth brushing. But w

Nadia The next few hours are incredibly challenging. The evening shift starts out pretty normally, but everything changes when a military transport arrives with a whole bunch of people from the Children of Solace who are much, much more wounded than the patients that we’ve been seeing so far.My father even comes out of the command tent to greet the transport, taking charge in a way he didn’t when people were simply finding us on their own.I stand close with Grace and Shayne as people – mostly men – are unloaded from the truck, bloody and moaning, some of them unable to walk on their own. Our guards – Cole and Tommy among them – join in on the effort to get everyone into beds as doctor Arbroth quickly marks which cases take top priority.“Still no kids,” Grace murmurs, frowning, her arms crossed.I nod, agreeing, wondering again where they all are.Shay exhales

Nadia“These people you’ve been treating today?” Cole says, looking at each of us in turn. “They’re not the people you saw running away last night. Some of these – many of them – were the die-hards clearing the path for Slaken to escape.”“Shit,” I whisper, shaking my head at the Prince. “So, he’s gone?”“Wait, sorry,” Grace says, leaning forward and looking fascinatedly between us. “What’s a Slaken?”Cole smirks at me for a moment, realizing that I truly did keep my promise of secrecy. Shayne scoffs at me, figuring out the same thing at the same moment. But Cole just nods and quickly fills the pair in. Something in my chest glows like a happy little firefly to see him trust my best friends so easily – I mean, they’re wonderful people and he couldn’t put his trust in a better spot.But whatever that little
