Chapter Nine

Joseph parked the truck in front of the house next to Kindle’s truck. While he was still angry, he’d managed to calm down some on the drive back home. His wolf had wanted to kill Derrick for hurting Nessa. Hell, even the man in him had wanted to eliminate the threat to his mate. Jessup was right though. Killing him would only bring trouble down on their pack. They’d managed to live peaceably with humans for decades. Derrick’s death would threaten that.

As he climbed out of the cab, the door to the house opened and Levi stepped out. He appeared relaxed, but Joseph knew looks, where the eldest was concerned, could be deceiving. He walked around to the front of the truck and waited for Jessup and Nessa.

“Do you need help with unloading?” Levi asked, stepping off the porch.

“I’ll take some help,” Jessup said with a smile. “Joseph, why don’t you take Nessa inside? She’s about to fall asleep on her feet. I think she could use a nap.”

Joseph nodded and dropped his hand to the small of her back to lead her up the porch steps and into the house. He had to shorten his steps to accommodate her much shorter stride and realized once again just how tiny their mate was. Though she didn’t say anything about Jessup sending her to take a nap, Joseph was sure she was seething inside. He could almost feel the anger seeping from her skin. It made him smile as much as he ever smiled. The fact that their little mate had spirit and a temper made her that much more suitable for them.

When they reached the room where she’d been sleeping, Joseph closed the door behind them. Nessa jumped, confirming his thoughts that she was still upset from earlier despite being mad at Jessup for essentially sending her to bed.

“Everything is okay now, Nessa. Let’s get you comfortable.” He stepped closer to her.

He was surprised when she didn’t back away from him. It made him feel less like a freak of nature with all of his scars. He softened his normally scowling expression and pulled her gently into his arms. She didn’t immediately relax against him, but after a few seconds, he felt her muscles slowly let go until she felt like putty in his arms. He rubbed up and down her back, careful of her nearly faded bruised places. Then he pulled back and tipped her chin up using one finger so she could meet his gaze.

“I’m going to undress you, Nessa. Then I’m going to settle you down to rest. Okay?”

Joseph watched the quick passage of her feelings across her expressive face. Fear, determination, until finally, acceptance all battled while he watched. Finally, she nodded and lifted her arms so that he could pull her T-shirt over her head. Once he had her down to her underwear, he helped her into bed and covered her with the sheet.

“I know you don’t want to take a nap, babe, but you’re still recovering.
