My Claws Were Sharp, But His Love Cut Deeper Novel

Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Wha … ? I say , looking down and realize that he has somehow managed to get me to lean over his 1s body as if Im about to straddle him .

As if I was about to … oh good grief ! I hope he didnt mistake what I was doing … I … This is very inappropriate , to be sure , I say , scrambling off the bed quickly .

I didnt find it inappropriate at all , little mate , he purrs .

I ignore that .

Im obviously tired , not thinking straight … I gesture to the trackers still laying on this bed .

Im overwrought with concern for who would be doing this .

And , you need your rest .

Ill let you get some sleep , I say , taking a step toward the door .

Thats as far as I get before he speaks .

I dont think so doctor .

I just told you that youll be at my side for the foreseeable future .

If youre leaving .

Ill just have to hop out of bed and follow you , he says , and I turn to glare at him .

Does that seem like an appropriate therapeutic approach to you , Beta Charlie ? No , Alpha .

It doesnt , he says , turning to look at me , not able to hide his smile .

Yeah , I definitely dont like you , I grumble .

Good to know , since youre MY mate , Warren says , his smile becoming feral .

I huff at him .

I need to check on my other patients , I say to him , really needing to get out of this room with this mans incredible scent everywhere .

Its making it hard to think .

Charlie will come with you , he says .

I dont need a chaperone , Alpha , I snap .

Consider him a guard then .

Its him or me , he says .

I turn , heading to the door .

I dont like you very much either , I grumble to myself .

Im an acquired taste , he says .

I yank the door open , turning to see him grinning at me as if hes won this round of word slinging .

As 13.06 Chapter 20 I step out of the room , I have to admit , he probably did .

Warren Damn that woman ! Shes incredible .

I cant remember the last time Ive had this much fun instigating someone .

Probably never .

When Charlie follows Yara out of the room , I look down at myself .

I realize that Im still covered in dried blood and gore from the battles earlier today , or maybe its yesterday now .

Im pretty sure its morning now .

While theyre gone , I carefully get out of bed and wrap the sheet around my waist .

I couldnt care less about walking around the pack naked , but I have a mate now .

I dont want her thinking that Im flaunting myself in front of other she wolves .

I realize quickly that while my leg is mending , I cant put my full weight on it yet .

Those missing slivers that our mate mentioned have to be regrown , Warren .

That takes time , but Im working as fast as I can , Arric says .

Its okay , Buddy .

Youre healing me and because of that , well be able to remain Alpha of our pack .

And claim Yara as our Luna , he says and I can feel his respect and admiration for her , just as I am .

As usual , my wolf and I are on the same page .

Shes perfect for us .

Yes , she is .

And Charlie is right .

She provides some much needed humor to this pack .

I chuckle .

Yeah she does .

Normally Id have been offended by someone speaking their mind so frankly to me , but not her .

I adore it and Charlie and Arric are right .

Its funny to listen to her mumblings because there is very little , if anything , that is ever funny in our lives any more .

How long do you think it will be before Im healed ? I ask Arric .

Another day , at least .

Ill do the best I can , he says , knowing that the longer it takes , the more likely it is that I will be challenged , especially if were attacked while Im recovering .

Just do you best , I say , as the door opens again .

Oh for crying out loud ! I let Beta Charlie chaperone me .

Why are you out of bed ? Yara asks , obviously perturbed .

Chapter 20 Im going back to the packhouse .

I need a shower .

I stink and Im starting to itch with all this blood on me .

And then , I want to eat .

Im famished .

Youre coming with me though .

I dont think so , she says and I stop .

Why is that ? I ask her .

Im leaving .

We had this discussion .

Youre not leaving .

No , YOU said I wasnt leaving .

There was no discussion , and I never agreed to stay .

I look at her as if Im trying to remember , tapping my finger on my chin .

Charlie help me out here .

Didnt Dr.

Yara agree to take on my pack hospital and move here indefinitely ? Okay , the indefinitely is a stretch , but I need Yara here to help with my warriors and Im pretty sure she cant walk away from that .

Besides that , Im not letting my Luna walk out of my life .
