Chapter Four

“So who bloody died and made you God?” Dale slammed the door to their shared quarters and faced off against Spencer with a glare plastered on her face. They’d been mated a few short weeks, but already he was getting controlling, railing at her about the risks she took on the battlefield. She was a soldier. If she couldn’t fight…then what good was she?

He blinked at the statement—the same exasperated expression she’d seen him use any time she verbally slammed him against the wall.

“First off, fuck God. Second, your brother, as far as you’re concerned anyway. If you think I’m just gonna sit back willy-nilly and let you risk yourself out there you’re insane. What if something happens to you? I…I can’t lose you too.”

His shoulders sagged, deflated…no, defeated as he slid down to the bed. His head hung low.

“I can’t do it again. Not now. Not my mate.”

That hit Dale like the lightning bolts those bastard angels liked to throw. She paused in the middle of the room, biting her lip as her anger evaporated. Almost. In all her ire at what she’d seen as him trying to control her, she hadn’t thought how he’d react to her going into combat. They’d fought together for so long that she hadn’t considered he would view her differently now. Mated males were highly protective, and he was forced to watch her fight, put her life on the line time after time—something that every instinct he had would rebel against and try to stop.

She approached the bed, crouching down in front of it to reach out and touch his leg.

“Spencer…?”

He didn’t respond at first. His eyes were shadowed by his brows from the single, modest, incandescent light bulb that lit their room. Like a praying mantis seizing its prey, his hand arced out and caught her own.

“Don’t go. I won’t lose you like I lost Cain.”

“Shhh.”

She crawled into his lip without a second thought, worry surging through her as he wrapped himself around her without a word. Deep tremors shook his frame as he buried his face into the curve of her neck and shoulder, lips brushing against the mark he’d left on her skin. She shivered but fought back the reaction. Sometimes it seemed like all he had to do was touch her and she went up in flames, no matter how inappropriate the situation, and it was getting worse. She’d thought it would calm down after a while, but her hormones seemed to be amplified.

“You won’t lose me, I promise. I’m not going anywhere. Ever.”

He shook his head and pushed away.

“I can’t. I won’t. You aren’t going. I’ll find someone else to go in your place. Tell the General you’re injured or something.” He stood up and started to pace. “I won’t let them take you from me too… I can’t. Have to keep you safe.”

She watched him from where he’d dropped her on the bed, hiding her concern behind a neutral expression. She’d seen this before in other wolves that had spent too long on the front lines.
