"Anastasia, are you alright?". I asked her, and something I had not felt in a long time lingered inside my heart.
It was fear. I was afraid of losing her.
Beta Damien tried to take her away from my arms, but I was done hiding and done being defied by anyone else who was not my mate.
I stopped concealing my aura and unleashed everything, to show them what they were truly dealing with.
My eyes darkened.
"Back off. I will hold my mate myself. I don't need any of you to do that for me". I declared.
I saw Beta Damien, Fireball and Irving clenching their fists, but neither of them dared to attack me. At least, I was pleased to see that all of them knew what was best for their Alpha.
Because with her like this, sick and pale in my arms, she would not appreciate a commotion like fighting to break out.
