She pulled greedily from him and his wolf, which had now, after so un to settle just a bit because it was being allowed to provide for itsfor its other half, which is what it was created to do "Take what you need, beloved, it is freely given," he told her as he gently brushed the hair from her neck He should wait, he should make it special and treat her as the precious jewel that she was, but he was not taking any chances of her leaving this world without hih to get a s of blood and leave his mark He pulled away quickly and licked the wound clean She had not even noticed as she continued to drink fro weak but he would not deny her He could hear voices telling hi too ht bleed hi out again
He sat there holding her head in his lap, staring down at his beautiful ely Her dress had been ripped, and he could feel the skin on her back beneath the arer, and fear But there was one smell that trumped them all, one that he had known froet it--Serghei The cottage wreaked of hie and jealousy He had attacked Alina Vasile did not know if he had been trying to rape her or if he simply wanted to see the marks The bite was done out of pureto mark his female would ever do so with such brutality Her parents ht him in the act and attempted to intervene, but they would have been no hei had becoentle voice spoke fro an angry wolf by surprise was not a wiseher to my home and allow me to help you care for her"
Vasile turned to look at the shtly to the side baring her neck "Your narowled
"I am Auriel My parents died in the ars and I aes over" Sheof
"Are you loyal to Eerously
"Your parents were my Alphas, and when they perished, you becaed" Her shoulders squared and her back was straight as she spoke with true conviction
Vasile picked his mate up in his arms and stood "Then lead the way" He made eye contact with his top three and motioned towards the inside of the house They knehat he was asking without the use of words They would clean up the cottage and have the bodies cleaned and prepared for burial so that Alina could say a proper goodbye
Auriel pushed the door open to her s to see if he followed He had to duck his head as he walked through the front door and turn just slightly to get his wide shoulders in
"You can lay her in there," the female said as she motioned to a small bedroo hair froer softly down her pale cheek He ed her to open her eyes, to s just to show hiht But the only movement was the shallow rise and fall of her chest

"My ht? Was that proper?" His voice was cold and harsh
A tear slid down the fe to protect her"
Vasile shook his head "I a fros I will need to clean her and clothe her I will not trust anyone to touch her, not when there are so ue this time She simply scurried fro Vasile had asked for She shut the door behind her after having laid everything on the sht him a warm basin of water
Vasile took the blanket at the end of the bed and pulled it up to Alina’s chin He would protect her s Then with the blanket still covering her, he reached beneath it and beneath her to undo the button on the back of her skirt He pulled it off of her without ever re the blanket and tossed it on the floor He would have it burned because he would never smell another an to raise her shift but then after a ht decided it would just be easier to tear it He was careful to go slow and keep her covered Finally, she was fully undressed and he began to wash her He wiped her arently cleaned her face and then her neck He growled low as he wiped the blood frohei had pierced her beautiful skin He wanted to roll her over so he could wash her back and get that male’s smell off of her, but he decided to wait until she woke
He tucked the blanket in around her to keep her warm and then pulled the only chair in the room up next to the bed He sat and leaned forward until his head was by hers, and he closed his eyes as he breathed in her scent It cal else could He reached up, without opening his eyes, and took her hand in his intertwining their fingers He knew he needed to check on his warriors and figure out if anyone had run off to tell E himself to leave her side He needed to hear her voice, needed to see her eyes open and full of life So he sat with his head next to hers, breathing her in, allowing his wolf to take solace in the feel of her skin on his He pushed away the rage for now and simply focused on her
