“But you‘ 

you’re okay?” I asked Brian over the sat phone. 

“Yes Luna, he was fast but he couldn’t take a punch,” 

“Do whatever you need to to extract the information from him Brian. He’s attacked oh so you gave my full permission to treat him as the enemy,” Grayson gripped the phone so tightly I put my hand on the side of his face to steady him. 

This wasn’t good news in any way. This almost guaranteed our worst fears. Even if it did not it meant we had attacked an innocent pack which would leave us indebted. 

“Let us know what you get Brian I want you to treat your wounds promise me whatever you have to disinfect them if they’re enemy they’ll be trying to poison and infect I packed some antidotes with you,” I spoke to him over the speaker. 

“Thank you luna,” he commended me. I felt pride spike in me at the kindness in his voice towards me. He started out as wary as my mate and now he was thankful for me and risking his life for me. 

“Call us only when you have the information do not risk it until then,” Grayson continued sternly. 

“Please be sure to thank Lilianna for us,” I asked Brian before hanging up. 

“You know worrying like this will not help the situation, all it will do is attract attention,” I rub his shoulders for at second. 

He reached his hands up to grab mine, rubbing his thumbs over my knuckles. “This is looking more and more ground is about give out from underneath us,” 

“I know, let’s go for a run,” I whispered to him. 

“Hmmm,” he pulled me closer, a mischievousness to him. 

“You will leave first so I can shift on my own!” I shrieked pulling myself away from him hitting his back.

“I’m just saying that I would not be worried,” he leaned back. “But I know we still need time,” he rubbed the side of my face for a second. 

“Go,” I nodded to the door. 

He growled a second and walked out the door giving me a smirk over his shoulder that sent a thrill down my spine. 

We had been much more open with each other and I felt like I could tell him anything. Still I wondered if he felt the 

same way. 

I know how much of a gentleman he was being. He wanted me more than words could describe. I had seen flashes in his mind the other day. I had to leave the gym and run home for a shower. 

It was the first time I’d seen images in his mind. He hadn’t seen any from me yet. He had apologized for almost an

“Annette?” Grayson came up to me. “Are you alright?” 

“I just took to sharp of a breath I um just got a tickle in my throat from it,” I kept my face from him as I spoke. 

I kept myself through our dinner or at least I hope I did my heart unable to shake the freeze of terror. I held Graysons hand without thinking my b*dy instinctively looking to his for comfort. 

We headed to our home at the end of the night. 

“I don’t think I’ve ever told you how much I enjoy your cooking,” he complimented me, no doubt feeling my b*dy so 

tense. 

“Will you sleep with me tonight?” I blurted it out without thinking the idea he was bout to get. 

“What?!” He almost jumped out of his skin with shock and excitement. 

“I m–mean sleep, be asleep sleeping next to me in the bed in my room by my side but asleep. Sleeping,” I cleared it up for him, my face heated by the idea of what I had just implied my words jumbling themselves up shyly. 

“Oh yes of course. Annette, are you still worried?” He pulled me closer to him again as we walked into our home. 

“Yes I know I need to try and relax that’s why I’d like to just lay in your arms tonight, 

“Sounds perfect,” he smiled to me heading upstairs. 

I know I wanted to be in his arms all night safely and hopefully peacefully. 

I did my best to look at ease when I walked out of my closet in my nightgown and saw him shirtless in our bed. My 

bed but also our bed. 

“You sleep shirtless?” I blushed, halting my steps. 

“Do you want me to put a shirt on?” 

“No,” I walked over and laid down. I don’t think he expected me to say that so quickly and unfazed. I had been waiting since we met to lay in his arms. 

And even though our lives practically depended on the news we got in the morning I slept the best I had in my whole 

life.
