His Nanny Mate (Moana and Edrick Morgan) novel Chapter 195

#Chapter 195: Finishing Move

Moana

Edrick stood, pushing his sleeves up to his elbows. “I guess we are gonna have a round two,” he said.

Ethan’s bloodied face flashed with what looked like fear. Around us, the Rogues seemed to notice Edrick’s surge in strength. In a flurry of frightened yips and snarls, the Rogues took off in their wolf forms, leaving only Ethan to deal with.

“I got this,” Edrick said, holding his hand out to the cops before they could jump in and restrain Ethan. I continued to kneel on the floor, completely in awe of Edrick’s strength. He looked bigger, even physically, since I marked him.

Suddenly, Edrick rushed at Ethan with a speed that I had never seen before. Ethan didn’t even have time to react before Edrick slammed him to the ground so hard that the floor around him cracked. I gasped, jumping to my feet as I clamped my hand over my mouth. Had he killed him?

I heard Ethan groan, and saw him move. Thankfully, he wasn’t dead. Edrick picked him up by a fistful of his shirt and growled something in his ear before dropping him back to the floor. He stepped away from Ethan and allowed the cops to restrain him, and as they did he came back to me and pulled me tightly into his arms.

“I told you not to mark me,” Edrick whispered, stroking my hair as I buried my face in his chest.

“I had to,” I replied. I looked up to see that the silver glow in Edrick’s eyes had faded back to his natural icy blue color, but there was something else there now. I could sense immense love coming from Edrick’s gaze. He kissed my forehead gently, then cupped my face in his hands.

“Are you okay?”

I nodded. “I’m fine,” I said. “Kelly knocked me out earlier by hitting me in the head, but I feel fine.”

Edrick looked concerned, and checked my head. Thanks to my wolf growing in strength from marking him, though, my head was healed. There wasn’t even a bump or a bruise, whereas before I had felt a splitting headache when I woke up.

Behind us, the cops put handcuffs on Ethan and hauled him to his feet. Edrick and I watched as they led him out of the warehouse, reading him his Miranda Rights. “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law…”
