Chapter 15- Bethany Ann
I watched as my mate moved towards me and caught me when I almost fell. I placed my head on his shoulder, sighed happily, glad that I was in my mate's arms, and closed my eyes. "What's this meeting about?" I asked, opening my eyes when Damion sat down with me by his side.
"It was about what had happened to Vincent," Damion said. "He felt the pain of the bond breaking and tore the whole room a part that we had given him."
Relief filled my body, and I nodded. "So, does that mean it worked?" I asked, glancing at the three of them. "Are they safe?"
"Well, sort of," Mike said. "I mean, he is still here, so they are safe but not as safe as you would hope."
I frowned but nodded my head before furrowing my brows and trying to remember what had happened. However, it was all blank. "Did... I give you any instructions that I need to know about?" I asked, looking at my mate.
Damion nodded. "You said that you would take care of the mess in the kitchen," he replied. "You also said that you all need to stay indoors for three days."
I scowled but nodded. I wasn't going to be a fan of being cooped up for three days, but if that's what I told my mate, then I was going to do it. I looked at Mike and Chloe. "Are you two able to handle the pack with Liam?" I asked.
"Of course," Mike said. "The question is, can Damion handle all of you?" He smirked when Damion scowled.
"I am sure," I replied unamused. I sighed and rubbed my shoulder, trying to relieve some of the tension that I felt in my shoulders. I bit back a moan when Damion started to do it for me, his hands warm. "Will you?"
"If it means I can spend more time with my mate, then yes," Damion replied. "Besides, there is a training room that you will be able to train in and get rid of any pent up energy."
"I know," I replied, closing my eyes. I sighed, feeling tired, but I knew that I would have to get some work done before I was able to relax. "Keep a guard near Vincent at all times. I don't trust him. Also, make sure that there are guards around this house but hidden. If he finds out that they are here, I don't want anything bad to happen."
"Yes, Luna," Mike said, nodding his head. "Do you have anyone in mind as a guard?" he asked, and I shook my head no.
"I suggest having Reece and Joey since they aren't looking after you," Damion said, giving me a teasing glare. "Even though it was their job to do so."
I rolled my eyes at mate at the mention of the two men I had ordered not to look after me. "You are right; it was their job, but it isn't anymore," I replied. "But you are right. They'll be perfect for the job."
"So, I guess I will tell them," Mike said, standing. He stretched and yawned, and I rolled my eyes at him. "Since you are awake, I guess Chloe and I will take our leave. We will tell Liam half of the truth and then tell Reece and Joey about their new jobs."
"Tell them that they are under no obligation to stay if he gets out of hand. If he does, then have someone else look after him while they cool off."
Mike nodded his head. "I'll be sure to tell them that, Luna," he said, and I rolled my eyes at the use of my title. "Is there anything else?" He raised an eyebrow, and his lips curled into a smirk while he silently added "Luna" to the end of his sentence.
"Yes," I replied, scowling. I knew that I was the Luna of the pack, and the pack did call me "Luna" when it was important, but Mike did it to tease me. He knew how much I didn't like being called Luna and would do it every chance he could get while both Damion and Chloe stayed out of it.
"And what would that be?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Luna?" He was walking on thin ice. He knew it, but he didn't care while he watched me glare at him with that stupid smirk on his face.
I pointed towards the window, and he turned his gaze to that and back to me with his eyebrow going an inch higher. "That will be your exit and entrance for the next month," I warned. "And my foot would be up your ass for the next week." I narrowed my eyes and scowled, watching as his face grew pale. "Stop calling me Luna when you don't have to. Do you understand?"
Mike nodded his head. "Of course," he said, stuttering. "Excuse me." And with that, he bolted out of the house with Chloe following after him, laughing.
I sighed and sank against my mate's warm embrace, closing my eyes. "Will he ever learn?" I asked, and my mate chuckled.
"No," he replied, placing a kiss on my forehead. "He will not." He picked me up and placed me on the couch with him being behind me. "Now, rest. You still need it after what you had done."
"Mmmm," I replied in response and shifted until I was comfortable and covered in his scent. I rested my head on his chest. "Stay?"
His chest moved up and down while he chuckled, and he placed another soft kiss on my forehead. "'Course," he said, and I could hear the promise in his voice. "I will always stay for you."
And, I fell back asleep with a smile on my face, glad that I had found a mate like him, a mate who loved me to pieces and would not leave my heart in pieces like the man that I called my father.
