Chapter 87
“Why don’t I go with you, Nikki. We can go see the doctor now, have them take a quick x–ray of your leg and if they give the all–clear, you can come back for the second half of training.” Luna Sophie says, putting her hand on her mate’s arm and more or less pushing him out of the way
The gesture doesn’t go unnoticed by her mate, who raises an eyebrow at her, but she just ignores him.
“Why don’t I take you, little Alpha. We can talk more about all the reasons that our laws are wrong.” I say, hoping for some more time with her before I leave today. As much as I want to stay, my pack borders Alpha Aiden’s on the side not bordered by Kayce. I don’t trust Aiden so I don’t like being gone for long periods of time when I know he’s in his pack. He’s too power hungry. However, most of the time these days, he’s out hunting she–wolves.
‘She smells really good,‘ Derric, my wolf, says, breathing in her scent deeply. For someone so thorny on the outside, she smells floral, like a lotus flower. Beautiful and delicate, but also resilient and strong, just like Nikki
“I’m perfectly capable of getting myself to and from the pack hospital, thank you, big Alpha,” she says, giving me a fake smile before turning away from me.
‘Be right back,‘ I mouth to Hunter, who shakes his head at me. I see
Sophie give him a worried look, but he shakes his head. Even if N was of age, which she isn’t, I wouldn’t disrespect Hunter or Nikki gainst her will, here or anywhere.

narrows her eyes at me, leaning back against my arm “Hmmm. must be one of those weak Alphas, if I’m so heavy to you. Maybe should head back to training and work on that muscle strength. ha. I guess I shouldn’t even call you big Alpha anymore, if you’re ng to be such a wimp.”
Oh, my little Alpha, how I love playing these games with you
“Or maybe,” I say, putting my mouth near her ear, “you’re so desperate to be in my arms that you’re hoping I get lost and have to carry you around for hours,” I say, murmuring in her ear
I have to hide my smile when her body shivers in my arms.
“It’s over there,” she says snarkily, pointing in the direction of the pack hospital.
“Would you prefer it if I walk you around the pack carrying you some more first?” I ask, smirking at her.
“Trying to get out of warrior training so the other Alphas don’t embarrass you?” she retorts.
Fuck, this woman has got me so turned on right now. I hope to hell she’s my mate because if she isn’t, I may have to fight whoever is so I can make
