His Nanny Mate (Moana and Edrick Morgan) novel Chapter 243

#Chapter 243: Daddy’s Home

Moana

As I ran across the back lawn to the mansion, I could see Selina, the maids, and several security guards come running outside with scared looks on their faces.

All of them froze, their mouths hanging open, as I approached.

“Moana…?” Selina said quietly as she took a tentative step toward me. I nodded and slowed my pace.

“Moana is the Golden Wolf!” Amy yelled out loud, cupping her face excitedly. “I can’t believe it!”

“I’ll be damned…” One of the security guards, Darren, slowly walked up to me with his eyes wide. “I never thought the Golden Wolf was anything but a fairy tale for kids.

I wished that I had time to let them process this, but I could feel Edrick weakening on my back. I felt a warm liquid trickle into my fur, and I could tell instantly from the metallic smell that assaulted my new wolf senses that it was blood.

Suddenly, Edrick groaned and fell completely limp. He lost his grip and started to slide off of my back, causing everyone to gasp. I quickly shifted back into my human form and caught him in my arms just in time before he hit the ground.

“Hurry,” I said, watching in horror as I saw fresh blood starting to create red blossoms on his shirt. “I couldn’t heal him fully by myself.”

In a flurry of activity, everyone suddenly crowded around me. The bodyguards hoisted Edrick’s limp body up and began carrying him back to the house, while Selina and the maids checked on me.

“Are you alright?” Selina asked with worry in her eyes. “What happened? All we knew was that Edrick said Michael was here, and then he ran off. The security guards have been running around like chickens with their heads cut off.”

I shook my head and swallowed. My throat felt hoarse from screaming, and now that we had returned to the house, I suddenly realized just how achingly sore my body was. Selina and the maids helped me to my feet, and I held my belly as we began to walk back to the mansion.

“He tried to kill me,” I said. “Michael. He had a knife… I shifted just in time, but… Michael didn’t make it. Edrick got horribly wounded, too. I tried to heal him but I’m running out of energy, and his wounds are deep.”

“Don’t worry, dear.” Selina wrapped her arms around me. “We’ll heal him up. You need to rest for both yourself and the baby. Did you get hurt?”

Once again, I shook my head. “I’m dizzy, but I’m alright,” I replied. “I’m just worried about Edrick…”

As I thought back on Edrick’s limp body, I felt tears come to my eyes again. If I lost him again, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. I knew the pain of losing a fated mate now… I never wanted to experience that ever again.

“Here.” Selina guided me in through the door. A sob instantly escaped my lips as I saw Edrick laying on the dining room table with the security guards circled around him. They had shoved everything off of the table and laid him there so they could work on healing him.

Before Selina could stop me, I wrenched myself away from her grip and ran over to Edrick. His eyes were still closed, and he seemed even less responsive now.

“Edrick!” I cried, cupping his face. “Are you there?”
