Full Moon Curse (by Dream) novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208

I walk away and start making our way towards Julia and John’s house.

I still don’t want to be anywhere near a car, so we walk. They live pretty far out, so we talk on the way.

“I know they weren’t really friends with anyone in the pack, but why didn’t they mind-link anyone?” Dallas says randomly, clearly still thinking about the Matthews.

I think about it for a minute before I stop walking and grab his arm to stop him. “That’s something, Dallas! Liam said they cut off his ability to contact anyone through mind-link. Maybe they couldn’t! Maybe that connects this to the witch!” I tell him and he nods.

“I mean, I understand what you’re saying, but again there’s no proof. Whoever this is, isn’t leaving anything behind. Yet, hiding in plain sight.” Dallas says and my teeth clench as I begin walking again.

“Yeah. There has to be something we’re missing though.” I tell him, and he nods. “But how do we find it?” He asks. I shrug, “Maybe Julia or John will have some ideas. I don’t think they’ve dealt with anything like this before, but it’d couldn’t hurt to ask.” I respond and he nods again.

We keep walking and I look over at him, actually look at him. He’s tired, he’s been doing so much work to keep me and everybody safe. Leaving his mate for days at a time, not sleeping, skipping meals. The bags under his eyes are proof enough of his exhaustion.

“Dallas.” I start and he looks over at me with a small smile, “Yeah, Aims?” He asks, and must see something in my eyes because he instantly starts shaking his head. “Don’t start.” He says and I shake my head back at him.

“A couple of days. Just til you get back on your feet. Maybe Cole can be my bodyguard for a little while.” I tell him and he shakes his head.

“Aims, stop.” He says starting to get angry. “Dals, I know your wolf needs to protect me, but your wolf probably wants his mate too. You and Nick hardly have any time together and I hate that for both of you. What would a couple of days do?” I ask and he shakes his head and pulls me to a stop so we can look at each other.

“You don’t understand, Amy. It’s not just about my wolf wanting to protect you and honestly it hurts that you think it is. You’re my family, maybe not by blood, but something even stronger. I’ve had to watch you beat death too many times and I can’t watch it again. Just thinking about it makes something inside of me burn. I have to protect you, and not because my wolf is telling me to.” He says gently, and I look up into his very sincere eyes.

“You can’t protect me, when you’re this exhausted. You need sleep.” I tell him and he shakes his head with a chuckle. “Watch me. I’ll sleep when I’m dead.” He jokes and I give him a small smile and shake my head. ” You’re impossible.” I tell him and he shrugs. “I know.”

I walk up the steps to the front door of Liam’s parents house and just walk in with a smile on my face excited to see them. “Julia, Jo…” My breathing stops, and Dallas yanks me out of the house.
