My Claws Were Sharp, But His Love Cut Deeper Novel

hapter 22 Chapter 22 Yara the I refuse to ask where very packhouse is .

Im pretty sure that arrogant Alpha , and yes , he arrogant , is back there laughing at me , even after I painstakingly put his leg back together .

I have half a mind to break all those bones again and leave him to his own devices .

Oh , thats not what half your mind has been focusing on , Annika says , sending me images Warren naked in the forest .

I was focused on his injury , I insist .

She changes the focus , expanding the image of Warrens penis .

Its quite large , even when its not erect .

Gotta love big Alphas , Annika purrs .

You are not helping .

Come on , Yara .

You know youre enjoying yourself .

Whens the last time someone really challenged you mentally ? I like him .

Hes … confident , she smirks .

I roll my eyes at my wolf and continue walking .

Tell me you know where this damn packhouse is , I say to her .

She lifts her nose again and I catch multiple scents all in close proximity .

There you go , she says .

I get to the packhouse and stomp up the stairs , ready to walk in ahead of Warren and Charlie , who is no better than his annoying Alpha , when Annika stops me .

Uh , Yara .

You remember that youre only wearing a t shirt , right ? she asks me .

I look down just as I hear a growl from behind me and Charlie comes rushing up to me .

Better to wait to enter the packhouse until Alpha catches up , Luna .

13:00 Chapter 22 I give him a look .

I am NOT your Luna .

Whatever you say , Luna , he says , and I swear his lips twitch .

Incorrigible , I mutter , turning to look at Warren .

I suddenly realize that he has a sheet from the pack hospital wrapped around himself as he makes his way toward me .

He looks aggravated as he tries to navigate the sheet and the crutch .

Here , what are you doing ? I ask him , co up and taking the sheet , frowning as I wrap it around him and tie it in a knot so he doesnt have to hold it .

Im trying to walk , he growls .

Is that better ? I ask him with mock patience .

Im annoyed that this man thinks that Im going to bathe him .

Just because I fixed him up and just because he smells friggin delicious , it doesnt mean that Im going to bathe him .

Annika , the little hussy , sends an image of Warren naked again , making my cheeks heat .

Oh what I would give to know whats going on in that overactive mind of yours , Warren says .

softly .

Because Im so close , making sure the sheet was tied tight , I can feel his breath in my hair sending shivers up and down my spine .

I step back quickly , not wanting him to smell what Im sure he can , my arousal .

Why am I aroused by this man ? Hes infuriating .

Hes sexy .

Look at that chest , Annika purrs .

I glance up and immediately regret it since hes watching me closely .

I dont have an overactive mind , I say, just because I need to say something .

He chuckles at me .

If you say so .

Come on , I want to introduce you to the pack .

I look at him like hes crazy .

But … I gesture up and down his body .

Theyve seen worse , believe me , he says , and theres no humor in his tone now .

I need to remember that this pack , along with most of them , is in a constant state of war .

When we walk in , the packhouse which was buzzing with conversation goes quiet .

13:06 Chapter 22 Attention everyone , this is Dr.

Yara .

If you havent met her yet , you most likely will in the near future .

She is the new head doctor in our hospital .

When you go to see her , what she says , goes .

No argument or you answer to me .

Understood ? he says .

Yes , Alpha , the pack replies , and I feel everyones gaze on me .

I try to look confident , but its hard when literally everyone is staring at me .

Oh , and shes my mate .

Fuck with her and Ill kill you , he says seriously , making me jolt and look up at him .

WARREN ! YARA ! he says in a sarcastic version of my tone .

Then his lips twitch and I just know that Im not going to like what comes out of his mouth next .

If youll excuse us , my mate is going to give me a sponge bath , he says to the pack , his eyes never leaving mine .

I would growl , I want to growl at him , but instead my cheeks get so hot I feel like Im going to burst into flames .

You are SO arrogant , I grit through my teeth as he begins to lead me away .

Yara , Yara , Yara , what have we discussed about this ? he says , his tone mocking me .

I plaster an obviously fake smile on my face .

Does your packhouse have a library , Warren ? I ask in a sickeningly sweet tone .

No , he drawls .

Well , that explains a lot , I say , stomping up the stairs .

Where are you going ? he asks me .

I turn around and frown at him .

Youre the Alpha .

Isnt your room on the top floor ? C C ( 0 ) 13.06
