Chapter 0178

She nods and as we're walking into the room, Dustin walks in holding two trays. You can set them over there.” | nod my head toward the couch and coffee table.

| watch as Dustin smiles at Angel. I’m going to throat punch him if he doesn’t stop flirting with my mate. “Feeling better Angel?” He asks her, all smiling happiness. “Yes, thank you Dustin.”

“Thanks Dustin, that’s all for tonight.” | tell him gruffly. If he doesn’t leave soon, Cyran is going to growl at him and scare our mate. He has the audacity to snicker as he turns to leave. “Sleep well Angel.” He says before scurrying out the door. Bastard. He’s doing this on purpose to get a rise out of me.

| take her over to the bed first and set her down. | pull out the clothes and look at what Dustin brought her. Nothing in here looks like something she can sleep in. | sigh and look at her. “I'll be right back.” | tell her.

| go to my room and grab one of my shirts and a pair of draw string shorts. It doubt she will be able to wear them even with the drawstring, but we'll give it a shot. I’m kind of glad that she’s going to be wearing my shirt. It will ensure that my scent is on her, calming Cyran and | a bit since she doesn’t wear our mating mark yet.

When I return, | pull my shirt over her head, helping her to find the arm holes. She pulls the towel off underneath the shirt and pulls the shirt down beneath her. It falls past her knees. | frown and look at the shorts. “I brought these, but | doubt they will stay

on. my

“This is fine, it’s more than I’ve had to wear in a long time.” Cyran growls in head at that, and | watch her wrap her arms around herself. She’s swimming in my shirt it's so large on her. But she doesn’t seem to care and | catch her sniffing it a couple of times. Good, at least she seems to like my scent, that’s something.

| make sure she eats, even though she doesn’t eat as much as I'd like her to, definitely not as much as a normal wolf, maybe not even as much as a human. She drinks more water than required, which is good.

When she’s done, | put her back into bed, tucking her in. | sit beside her, knowing she won't be awake long. “My wolf, Cyran says he can sense that you have a wolf but she’s dormant. Is that correct?”

She nods at me. “Yes. Alessia went quiet years ago.” She looks down, plucking at the blanket on her bed. “She worked so hard at first to heal me. She saved my life. once when | was nearly killed by a visiting vampire and he didn’t want to stop. feeding on me. But over time, | became weak and it weakened her as well. | only hear her on rare occasions now.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

I nod. “As you get stronger, she should get stronger too. We'll work on getting you both back in good health, okay?” Her smile is sad. I’m not sure if she doesn’t believe me or if there is something. else concerning her.

| wait until she falls asleep and then | head downstairs. | need to let Cyran out. He’s been fighting me and pushing to be closer to our mate. We're both disturbed at the state our mate is in. I’m hoping a run will ease his frustration as well as

mine. | see Dustin as | head out. “Let me know if anything happens. She’s asleep and | want to know the minute she wakes up if she does.” He nods and | strip and jump off the back porch of the packhouse shifting mid-air.

We run for hours. It feels good to be out and running. We check up on the patrols. and see that everyone is taking the vampire threat seriously. That reminds me that | need to contact Rik and let him know about the possibility of a vampire

attack. When | get back, | shift and start to change. The packhouse is quiet, most

everyone is asleep. As | start to walk inside, | hear a blood curdling scream. Before | can even think, Cyran has taken over and shifted back, tearing up the steps of the packhouse to get to our mate.
