My Claws Were Sharp, But His Love Cut Deeper Novel

Chapter 14 Chapter 14 But who is going to assess the warriors ? he asks me .

Have the nurses give a diagnosis and recommended treatment , then bring it in here to ask Dr.

Yaras opinion .

My opinion ? she asks me , obviously surprised .

Yes , Yara .

Your opinion .

Im beginning to think that you are the perfect replacement for Dr.

Stevens .

Yara Replacement ? I cant be a replacement .

Im not staying .

As soon as Alpha … as soon as Warrens leg is done , Im out of here .

I glance up at the broody Alpha and wonder if thats true .

Is he going to let me go ? The news about Simon has me worried .

If there is a paper trail of his father helping me though medical school hell find me .

Arric ? I say distractedly , holding the bones together while he heals them .

I have to get my car , my clothes .

I have to get back to school , Im a resident , I cant just up and leave .

Tell me where your car is and Ill have someone go get it .

Same with your clothes .

As far as your schooling goes , well have to talk about you taking classes online and working your residency did you call it , here , Warren says .

I frown at him .

How did you … ? You were talking to yourself .

It wasnt hard to hear you .

I cant leave school , Warren , I say , looking at him like hes crazy .

I didnt say youd be leaving school .

I said youd be doing your residency here .

You can take classes online , he says as if that settles it .

Excuse me ? You cant keep me here ! Chapter 14 He merely raises that damn eyebrow at me again .

Youre not my Alpha … I begin .

He leans forward .

What I am is your mate .

Tell me truthfully , if I let you go back to school and I come to visit you in say a weeks time , will you still be there ? I look away , beginning to work on his leg again and refusing to answer him .

Even if he wasnt my mate , knowing that Simon may be able to figure out where I am , would have me transferring immediately .

Thats what I thought and that , my dear mate , is why Im not letting you leave .

He sits back and both of us get lost in our own thoughts again as I let Arric know when Im ready for him to heal the bones .

Why did you say I was brave earlier ? What ? he asks , and I can tell the pain is getting to him .

Earlier , you said you knew I was intelligent , compassionate , brave , and lonely .

The intelligent and compassionate I understand , the lonely you explained , but why did you say you think Im brave ? I ask him .

When you heard my pack , you didnt run .

You could have .

You didnt know they were my pack members .

You looked like you were ready to fight , to defend me .

For someone whos not a fighter , that takes guts .

I look up at him , frowning .

How do you know Im not a fighter ? Youre not built like one , he says simply .

Are you saying Im fat ? I ask , insulted .

I work out at the human gym .

I know I need to let Annika out more often to run , but Im not overweight , even by werewolf standards .

You know youre not , he says , watching me .

But I saw you naked .

Those of us who have been fighting in pack wars almost daily for years dont have the softness to their body that you have .

And before you go jumping to any conclusions , I find your body very attractive , very sexy .

I stop what Im doing , not sure how to respond to that .

13:06 My Claws Were Shar Chapter 14 Sexy .

Thats not a word that has been used to describe me in the past , I say , and realize that once .

again I spoke out loud .

I look up at him and see him smiling at me .

Some people , like myself , find intelligence sexy .

But , Ive been itching to touch you , to run my hands over the softness of your body , since the moment I saw you .

Some people , like myself , find it hard to believe that someone caught in a bear trap was itching to touch me , I say , rolling my eyes at him .

Then that should tell you just how strong the pull of the mate bond is .

As much as what youre doing hurts , just having you touch me helps with the pain .

Your scent in this room , which gets stronger the longer you are in here , is helping me manage the pain .

As an Alpha , its one of the benefits of finding your Luna , your fated mate .

You are the other half of my soul , and at the risk of sounding cheesy .

you complete me on more than one level .

Now , I have a question for you .

Okay , I say , still focusing on his leg .

Why didnt you run ? I stop and look at him like hes crazy .

You were injured .

If they werent your pack , they would have killed you .

That damn eyebrow goes up again .

And they would have killed you too .

I didnt rescue from a bear trap to leave you to die at the hands of the assholes who set it in the first place ! I say .
