Chapter 419
I blink several times, trying to clear my vision. I’m starting to focus better when Jamie turns back to me. I know my time with the girls has come to an end but Madisyn is being persistent about not
leaving.
“Jamie, can you pick Maddie up so I can talk to her?”
He does as I request without question.
“Hey sweetpea. I know you’re afraid and I am too but Jamie is going to help me while Micayla gets the two of you back to the house.”
“No. I’m not leaving.” She whimpers.
I take her from Jamie, cuddling her close as I speak.
“We are right behind you. I promise, Jamie will keep me awake.”
“No, Cole. Please. I can’t leave you.”
“I promise we are right behind you. I’m sorry Madisyn. I am commanding you to go with Micayla. You cannot ignore a direct command from an alpha.”
I try to use the oldest parenting trick in the book.
“Please?” She whines again as I hug her tight.
“No. I need you to go. I’m right behind you but very slow. You need to get your dad moving on
getting me to general.”
“Yes sir.” She finally hiccups.
Jamie gently takes her sobbing form out of my arms, walking her over to Micayla. He kisses her gently before speaking but I’m too far away to hear his instructions.
She nods easily as she takes Madisyn’s hand and starts walking quickly down the path gently tugging
a very resistant Madisyn alongside her. Jamie waits until they round the curve of the path before
heading back to me.
“I’m sorry. I wanted to make certain that Madisyn didn’t break away from her.”
I nod my head as I push myself off the tree I’m leaning on. Jamie walks around to my left side, wrapping his arm around my waist.
“Good thing I got a little taller. This wouldn’t work otherwise.”
Chapter 419
He chuckles lightly as he grabs the waistband of my pants. I wrap my left arm around his shoulders as I take my first steps since his arrival. He stops each time I stumble through a step but it doesn’t take long for us to develop a working rhythm, something I don’t have to think about as the excruciating pain causes me to black out.
(Demetri’s POV)
It’s been five hours since I got a call from Jamie about Cole coming across something suspicious in the field bunks on the south western edge of the territory. It was as my security group was approaching that they barely saw what appeared to be a nude she–wolf darting into the tree line. Two of them tried to follow her while the other two continued to the cabins.
I was angry at their report. Not only did they fail to capture the she–wolf’s assailants but they failed to stop a brutal attack on Cole. They only figured out which cabin all the com
in after everyone left prompting me to write a note to implement testing ar
the security team.
