Semua Bab Bite Me, Alpha Cole: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Cole“Thank you for this,” I murmur, starting to unscrew the top of the thermos, my stomach rumbling when I smell the lovely stew inside. I am hungry – but in all the worry and confusion, I didn’t notice.I take the spoon and the crackers out of the container on the top and dig in.“What happened with Rose, Cole?” Nadia whispers, leaning closer to me, shaking her head. “That was…crazy.”I grumble something around my full mouth, not…really wanting to talk about it, even if I know Nadia deserves an answer.“Look,” she says, her voice more serious than it was a few moments ago. I raise my eyes to hers. “You…don’t have to kick her out of your tent for my sake, okay?”I just stare at her.“We’re like…” she hesitates, blushing a little, lowering her voice, “Cole – I know that you

Nadia“Oh, whatever, Na-na,” he murmurs, shutting his eyes. I’m glad for that because I don’t want him to see my smile when he uses my nickname. “You’re in my room, you just caught me in a very embarrassing moment –““Which I did not rub in as much as I could have!”“Yes, you’re an angel of gracious restraint,” he murmurs, the words thick with sarcasm, making me laugh again.Damn it, I hate that he’s…funny. Sometimes.“What could I possibly be accused of holding back on here?” he holds his arms out wide. “My life is literally laid out before you.”“Yes, just as your ex’s breasts were likewise laid out before me,” I snap even as I laugh, pulling my hand away.His hand moves faster than I can see, snatching my wrist and halting its movement away. “Don’t stop doing that,” he growls. “It was nice. And Rose’s breasts hold absolutely no charms for me anymore.”I scowl, hating that he could feel me playing with his hair and gave no indication. But I roll my eyes and obey my liege lord, the s

Nadia He just laughs again, shaking his head and continuing on, wisely not acknowledging my embarrassment. “But other people say that it’s…magical. The most religious-minded, like my mother, suggest that it’s a sign from the Moon Goddess regarding who she’s picked out for you – your destined match.”“So,” I say, slipping my hand away, “your…mom doesn’t think it has anything to do with pups?”“Oh, no, she thinks it has everything to do with pups,” Cole says, nodding deeply – which just makes me groan again and cover my whole face with both hands. He laughs. “She thinks that fated mates have very blessed pups with great destinies. That…they’re the people who shape the world along the lines of fate.”“Oh my god.”“I know. Dramatic, right?”

Nadia I’m about three feet away from my bed, headed for the bathroom with my toothbrush clutched in my hand, thinking that maybe Cole was just carrying his bedding around like some sort of weird wolf security blanket. But my steps falter when I hear the tent flap. I go still, my mouth dropping open when I see Cole stepping inside, his stupid bed bundle in his arm.Livid words stack up on my tongue as Cole walks quickly towards me. But he slips his hand calmly over my mouth, silencing them.“Quietly, Nadia,” he murmurs, perfectly calm. “You don’t want to wake up the whole tent.”“Cole!” I hiss, stepping back and smacking his hand away. “You are not sleeping here!”“Oh yes, I am,” he whispers, closing the distance between us. “I’m not letting you out of my sight until that further military arrives. Grace and S

Nadia My breath starts to come fast as Shayne and I walk with Cole out of the nursing tent. He’s slowing his pace to keep up with us – I’ve seen how fast he can go when it’s just him, or when he’s with one of his wolf boys. But honestly, I feel nothing but grateful for it now.I mean, I know that there’s nothing that’s going to hurt me right now. Still…it’s nice having him around when I’m feeling anxious.A bunch of other nurses and counselors join us as we move in a large group toward the mess tent, where we have our meals and where we met the first day – the only place large enough to house all of us at once. As we go, I glance back at the new nursing tent that was just built next to the one we’ve used since we got here.It looks exactly the same as the first, except perhaps a little bit…newer? Or, I don’t know. Maybe I&
