..Jason?” Phoebe stirred with a moan.
Jason immediately returned to her side kissing her hand,”
I’m here angel. I’m here.”
She sighed, relaxing and turning her head towards him. A smile twitched his grim expression. He had been worried about earning her trust but it seemed he succeeded
Graham shook as he watched Jason kiss Phoebe’s forehead and nuzzle her. Her pained expression softened comforted by his presence. Rage and jealousy shuddered through him as his wolf whimpered.
“Get off my land!” Graham growled. “Out of my territory!”
“Oh, I will,” Jason’s eyes swirled amber as he glared at the other alpha. “And I’m taking everything that belongs to me…
Luke.”
“Moving truck,” Luke nodded taking out his phone dialing with a single press of a button and making Jason wonder if he didn’t already anticipate this to some degree.
“Moving truck? For what?” Graham demanded.
“Phoebe belongs to me. I’m not leaving a single trace of her behind.”
“…You can’t.”
“I would advise you to be careful what you say I can and cannot do with my mate,” Jason warned. “Now get out. My mate needs to rest.”
Graham winced refusing the alpha command for as long as he could but there was no denying the compulsion forever. He, his Beta and the doctor retreated quickly. Jason snorted at their departure.
“Noah, Cam, get yourselves treated as quickly as possible and get your asses to my mate’s home to help pack,” Jason ordered. “Chaz, make sure the pups pack too.”
“Alpha?”
“They are precious to my mate, so they are precious to me.
Understood?”
“Yes Alpha.”
The warriors quickly retreated taking the pups and Bridget with them. Jason breathed easier as the small room was vacated giving him much needed space.
“Oh baby, you are so tense.”
His skin prickled and his eyes flashed at the shrill voice.
Turning he saw Kristie had remained. Smiling coyly she reached for him.
“I can help with that. I can make you feel so good.”
Jason moved like lightning clutching her throat. Her doe-eyes widened in surprise and she almost seemed turned on until he squeezed enough to cut off her air.
Gasping she tried to pry his fingers away but in a contest of strength she was sorely outmatched. Fear finally shone from her gaze as she stared at him.
“No one, and I mean no one, touches me except my mate,” Jason growled letting his aura surround her. “I’ve wanted to rip your throat out and feed it to the rogues since I set foot in this territory. If you value your life you will stay as far from me and my mate as possible. Got it?”
With a snarl Jason tossed her toward the door. Even before she landed in a whimper he had already turned back to Phoebe. Tenderly he smoothed her hair and kissed her forehead. Kristie whined as she stood clutched her side where she cracked two ribs during her landing. She glanced at him hoping for sympathy but Jason was no longer aware of her as he quietly caressed Phoebe’s pale face.
Growling Kristie moved to approach him again when another aura suddenly slammed against her. Turning she saw Luke watching her, guarding his Alpha and Luna from interference. She wanted to protest but found herself unable to break his aura. But how?
She was Luna and he only a Beta. Her aura should be dominant but it wasn’t. His presence easily overpowered hers and held her in check. Flushed with embarrassment she finally fled allowing them to relax.
Luke breathed a sigh of relief before looking to Jason who continued to stand over Phoebe. Jason pressed his forehead to hers willing her to feel his presence and know she was safe. She had to wake up. She couldn’t leave him like this. Lobo paced through his mind whimpering. They couldn’t lose their mate after only just finding her.
Luke wanted to comfort his friend but remained silent.
There was nothing he could say that would make it better or ease his worry. Deep down he knew Phoebe was strong.
She would pull through.
He didn’t know how long they waited like that before a knock interrupted them. Jason and Luke were immediately on edge but relaxed when Noah asked for permission to enter. The warrior stepped in nodding to both before letting Bridget into the room. She had changed out of her scrubs and now wore a blouse and skirt. A duffle was slung over one shoulder as she nervously eyed the Alpha and Beta.
Noah’s wounds had been treated and he wore a t-shirt and cargo shorts.
Jason continued to hold Phoebes hand as he surveyed them, “Congratulations to you both. I’m always happy when one of my warriors finds their mate. Bridget, Noah is a good man.”
She blushed and even Noah’s cheeks flushed a bit.
“You are welcome to come back to Blue Moon with us,” Jason said, “or if you prefer to stay I’m sure Noah can make himself useful here.”
There were always hoops to jump through when it came to switching packs but finding one’s mate made considerably less red tape. If the pair came from separate packs they were free to choose which pack to join. Usually the she-wolf joined her mates pack but that wasn’t always the case especially if she had extended family she didn’t want to leave in which case her mate would join her pack and take her last name.
“We already discussed it, Bridget glanced at her new mate.
“Phoebe is my best friend. I’d rather follow her to your pack.
If…that is all right.”
“Of course,” Jason nodded.
Noah was an excellent fighter and Jason would have been sorry to lose him. What was more trained medical staff was vitally important to every pack so he was more than happy to accept Bridget mate or no, but most importantly he appreciated her loyalty to his Luna.
“So…um…the mover’s are busy packing and I thought if we’re leaving I should help Phoebe change,” Bridget gestured to the duffle. “So…maybe you can give us some privacy?”
The trio of males blushed at the same time realizing what Bridget was asking. Jason’s gaze immediately shifted to his Beta and warrior with a growl. Just the thought of another male seeing his mate bare raised his hackles.
