Chapter Twenty Four

Jesse

Hearing a hiss of pain pulls me out of my pacing, causing me to look up from the carpet I’m currently staring daggers at. Seeing Frankie’s wince of pain, I ground myself with a deep breath and pull my anger back. I shouldn’t be making others suffer because I'm angry; angry with myself because Rick got so close to taking her yesterday. I cross the room and come to a stop before Frankie, now standing in front of my desk. The sight of her safe before me helps reduce my anger slightly. As noon struck and they weren’t here so many scenarios ran through my mind. None of them ended well for Frankie, or myself come to think of it. I couldn't bear to lose her and hate to think what it would do to me. Thankfully, the full moon will keep her here for the next twenty-four hours, protected.

I’m reaching forward and tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear before I can even think about whether I should be doing it. I need to touch her, to feel her under my fingertips so I know that she’s really here, safe and not just an illusion my mind has conjured up. I’ve spent so long watching her from a distance I’m starting to think I've made her up, just a figment of my imagination. I drop my hand from her face, allowing it to brush her hand on the way past. Our energies flare for a second with the contact, allowing my wolf to finally relax for the first time since I heard her scared voice on the phone yesterday.

“I’m sorry we’re late, it’s my fault. An old friend turned up on my doorstep with a suitcase. To cut a long story short, he came to warn me that an ex is going to be turning up in the next couple of days, expecting me to welcome him with open arms,” she says, her worry shows in the way she's wrapping her arms around herself.

“You’re not looking forward to him arriving?” I question, unsure whether she's worried about her ex's arrival or my reaction to it.

Looking up at me she shakes her head and bites her lip in worry. “Danny’s my ex for a reason, he’s got a nasty temper. I’m worried he’s going to cause trouble for us all. I’ve already brought so much trouble to your front door in the last couple of weeks, I don’t want to add to it,” she says, the sadness in her voice pulls at my heart. She blames herself for Joey’s death and doesn’t want anyone else to get hurt.

Unable to bear hearing the sadness in her voice any longer I take her hand in mine and try to comfort her. “We’ll deal with what ever knocks on the door together. We're Pack. Isn’t that how it’s meant to be in a family?”

She smiles, not quite the beautiful full smile I’m used to seeing but a smile nonetheless. “Thank you.
