Chapter Sixteen

Felix

When I heard Lily’s screams as I was walking away, I didn’t even think before rushing back to her new apartment. She was in danger, and that was all that mattered.

I wasn’t even surprised when I saw that it was Hunter, naked and looking feral, that was causing havoc for her. Just the fact that he was there at all made my blood boil. Seeing Lily cower, helpless against his wild rage nearly made me lose my mind.

But Hunter was a pushover; once I threw him out and smacked him around, he ran like a coward, like the insect he was, leaving Lily to shake violently against my shoulder.

The police came minutes later, pulling up in front of the apartment. While one officer came up to speak to us, two others went around to talk to Lily’s new neighbors, most of whom stayed inside their houses, peering out at us. A single woman walking her dog couldn’t stop staring at me and I realized I was still naked. I shrugged at the woman and held Lily closer.

After the officer was done speaking to us, she let us go and tossed me an extra pair of pants to wear. “Make sure you always have extra clothes with you, sir. And don’t shift again in plain daylight; you’ll scare the humans around here.”

As I clothed myself, I winked at her. “Oh, come on! My body should be immortalized in a statue, right?” The officer blinked at me. “Or not. Just a joke!” When she was gone, I steered Lily back inside, keeping myself near here in case her wobbly feet came back, and shut the door. “Well, that was a doozy.”

“You can say that again.”

“Okay, well that was a doozy!”

She rolled her eyes at me, but a small smile tugged at the edges of her lips. “Felix...thank you for coming back.”

I softened and grinned down at her. “I’m always going to come back for you. So never fear guys like Hunter, cause none of them will ever get past me, okay?”

She nodded, tears welling in her eyes. She tried to look away, but instead, I used a finger to drag her chin around to face me again. “You don’t need to feel embarrassed about crying, okay? Just cry, and I’ll be here for you the whole time.”

Before she could nod again, the waterworks came. She wept, pressing her forehead against my chest, using her fist to lightly pound on my arm and shoulder. And I just held her gently, becoming the anchor she needed. I could only imagine how hard the last month had been for her. She lost her home, her income, her husband, and all her friends. And then, as if the world decided that wasn’t enough, it sent her ex-boyfriend to bump into her and set this off.

I doubted Hunter would stop all this nonsense...he seemed like he was going over the edge. There were a lot of shifters that did go crazy like that, especially when they didn’t find a mate in time.
