My Claws Were Sharp, But His Love Cut Deeper Novel

Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Yes , but arent you going to help me up the stairs ? I smile another fake smile at him .

I wouldnt want you to seem weak in front of your pack , Alpha .

Im sure you can figure out how to get up the stairs on your own , I say sweetly .

He growls low in his chest .

Did you want me to go find one of those young , nubile she wolves to help you instead ? I ask him , still keeping my tone much too sweet .

He narrows his eyes at me .

Then I suggest that you stop growling at me .

Next time , I might just pop your nose , I say , turning and walking up the stairs .

I hear him making his way up the stairs and while I probably should have helped him , the man is truly frustrating .

Why in the world would he announce to his pack that Im his mate ? I wait for him to join me at the top of the stairs , What , you didnt go in and start my bath ? he asks and his tone is a bit more snarky than normal .

I look at him more closely and realize that hes in pain .

Here , I say , walking to him and wrapping his arm around my shoulders .

Now she helps me , he grumbles .

We walk to his room and when he opens the door , Im not prepared for the onslaught of his teakwood scent that flows out .

I stop , my back arching of its own accord , my eyes falling closed , as I lift my chin , exposing my throat as my body begins to hum with desire .

Interesting … he murmurs , watching me .

Before I can snap my chin back down , Warren leans in and gently nips at my throat , accepting the submission that I didnt intend to give him .

When I start to pull away , he holds me to him .

Youre my mate .

Submission is part of our bond , he says gently .

Really , are you planning to submit ? I ask him .

One day , when you accept your position here in this pack , yes , I will give you my submission .

I stare at him , shocked .

His tone , his eyes , everything about him says hes perfectly serious , Surprised ? You shouldnt be , but I know you dont know me well yet .

You are an intelligent , strong woman , Yara , and I have no problem treating you as my equal , or in the instance of being in the hospital , submitting to your rules .

Says the man who insisted on walking out of the hospital tonight , I grumble , still shocked at his words .

I wouldnt have expected it of a man like him , someone who is very dominant and prides himself on being a strong and powerful fighter .

My pack needed to see me after I was carried in last night .

Its important , even if Im still not one hundred percent .

That I do understand .

I know the hierarchy of a pack that is constantly at war is always at risk of a leadership change .

The fact that Warren has been Alpha for twelve years and is still leading this pack says more about his strength than anything else .

I lead him to his bathroom and let him lean against the sink while I turn to start the shower .

Where are your clothes and is there anything in particular you want to wear ? I ask him .

Closet , and just shorts and a t shirt is fine .

Get some for yourself too , he says .

Thank you .

somen Well get you some new clothes , he says .

I have clothes .

At school Then Ill have someone go get your clothes for you , he says , and I can see hes fading .

Do you want to have food brought up here ? Eating might perk you up a bit .

I need the pack to see me once Im clean .

You need your pack to see you strong .

Order some food .

Have Charlie bring it up if you want , and then after youre feeling a bit better , you can go down to face your pack .

13:06 Mylaws Wen But His Love Cut Deeper 11.75 Chapter 23 He smirks down at me as I untie the sheet .

You know what theyll think if it takes us awhile to get back downstairs .

I dont care if your pack thinks we had sex .

I understand the importance of you showing a strong front to them .

Come on , lets get you in the shower .

You can let the water start to wash off all that blood while I go get both of us some clothes .

I get him under the water , making sure its not too hot or cold and then go to get clothes .

When I open the door to his closet , its almost worse than it was when I walked into his room .

His scent in the closet is making the pressure in my core nearly painful and the man hasnt done anything except smell fantastic ! Well , he does have quite the package on him .

I bet hed ease that ache if youd let him , Annika purrs .

No ! Spoilsport , she says , still purring in my head .

She begins stretching like shes a damn cat lying in the sun .

I roll my eyes and get some clothes before going back into the bathroom .

The moment I do , I realize my dilemma .

Theres no way for me to wash Warrens hair and body without getting in the shower with him .

But I dont have to take off my t shirt .

I just wish it wasnt white .
