Llost control of Atlas when we saw that b***h Sandra charging Celeste. She still looked so fragile in her hospital gown. But the

surprising part was how she stood up to Atlas and more, how she managed to soothe him into giving me back control. It’s not like Atlas

was some vicious beast with a temper, he was generally fairly in control, but the bond screamed at both of us to protect this magnificent

fragile creature in front of us. We didn’t expect her to stand tall when Atlas threatened the guard that allowed Sandra to get so close. She

didn’t pull away when Atlas crushed her to our chest, inhaling her delicious scent like a drug.

Mate is already defending pack. Mate is already acting like a Luna. She is stronger than she looks –

He said as he gave me back

control. – I still kind of want to break his bones.

I just smiled at his words as he purred and curled up in the back of my head. I noticed Gillian and the warriors looked shocked. Atlas

may not lose his temper often, but when he did, it was never easy to get him back in control.

“I’m sorry,” she said “I told him to go help Maya. I don’t have a lot of stuff to pack.”

I sighed, “I would prefer that you have a guard with you at all times while not in our territory. It is not safe otherwise,” I said with a

pointed look. She blushed. “Zack, please load Maya’s belongings into the car. We are leaving now. I don’t want to be here any longer than

we need to. I will help the Luna”.

I saw her turn around to look at Zack, who smiled at her. A small growl escaped my chest.

“So… Where is your room?” I smiled at her. Then I frowned, confused as I noticed she paled quickly, followed by another blush.

Goddess, she was beautiful.

“Uhh, why don’t you wait here? I was almost done,” she said, turning and trying to go into a little door that was behind us. I followed her and put my foot in the door as she tried to close it behind her.

“Celeste?” I asked. I couldn’t help but feel hurt that she didn’t want me in her room. I saw her blush deepen and she sighed and

opened the door as she went to retrieve a bag on the ground.

I took in the toilet, the broken sink, and then the futon below the sink. I could feel Atlas rage as he understood what this was before! did. “This is where you sleep?” I growled lowly. The blush on her face deepened as she grabbed an old brush and toothbrush from the

sink and added them to an almost empty trash bag. I looked at her again, noticing that she was just standing there uncomfortably,

waiting for me to move from the door.

“Is this all you’re taking?” I asked, holding out my hand to take her bag.

“This is all I own,” she said, not looking at me. I took the bag from her and looked inside. There seemed to be about 3 or 4 outfit

changes, none of them seemed to be in decent shape. I could see neatly patched parts from other garments. My heart broke for her. When I looked up, I was surprised to see that while her face still had a blush of embarrassment in it, her head was raised as if daring me to comment on any of it. I looked around the tiny half bath again. While not suitable for a person to live with, it was tidy and you could see she took care of what little she had in it. I sighed, dropped the bag and pulled her into a hug. She froze at first, then slowly relaxed and

returned the hug.

“We’ve got plenty of stuff at home. You can leave this here. Maybe some of the other girls can use it,” I said. I only felt her nod. I

sighed, “Let’s get out of this place before I kill the entire pack.”

“I’ve been trying. You’re kind of taking up the whole door,” she gave a slight giggle. I laughed and let her go, hanging on to her

hand.

‘Are we ready?’ I mind linked Gillian

‘Yeah, we’ve got Maya and the guards in the car. I slipped some cash to one of the girls and told her to find a way to buy food for the

other omegas. I also grabbed our stuff. It seems the recipes for the desserts were on the night stand as well, so I grabbed them. Irigured
