CHAPTER TWELVE
Knox
âIâm doing this because you asked it of me.â I nuzzled Zaraâs hair as she lay in my arms.
âSheâs our friend.â Zara tightened her arm around my waist. âI donât have your sharp senses, but I can see that sheâs a shadow of herself.â
My mate was concerned about Sarita. So worried that sheâd come up with a plan that sheâd shared with the Queen. In a few hours, Graham, Ghost, and I were taking the Novus plane to Idaho to fetch Saritaâs mate, Adam, if he was willing, and kidnap if he wasnât.
âHow are you going to tell her?â I was curious. Sarita and Olivia were going to stay with Zara while I was away.
âI donât have a plan. Itâs not like I can say, pass the chicken, and by the way, Knox is bringing Adam home.â
âBe cautious. Sarita is very private. Iâve heard that she had very few friends before you arrived.â
âShe can get mad, and if she doesâ¦she can go home and pout. Olivia will stay. Uri and I will be fine.â
I made a rumbling sound deep in my chest. I did not like being away from her, especially while she was carrying our son.
âKnox, you saved me from what wouldâve been a nightmare. You knew my stepfather wanted me and would have stopped at nothing to get me into his bed. You shot him. You freed me. Now, I want to help Sarita. Sheâs scared, and sheâs had too much time to think. Sheâs convinced herself that he doesnât want her.â
âZara, youâve never met the man,â I reminded her.
âI donât need to.â She lifted her head from my chest and scooted slightly to adjust her position. âI know what we have. The love and the trust. I want your touch and miss it when you are away. Having you in my life makes everything better. She says that they are⦠So, I know that he wants to be with her. He might not understand the need, but he feels it.â
âHoneyâ¦â
She cut me off. âKnox, he doesnât know what she is. He doesnât know anything about the bond. He almost died, then he woke up to find out that somebody he knew shot him, and his family lied to him. I worry about him. He must feel so alone, and he doesnât have to. She loves him, Knox. I know you can feel it.â
âHow did you get so smart?â I meant, how did she know me so well and still love me.
âYouâre a good teacher, and you donât lie to me.â
âZaraâ¦you are my everything.â I kissed her.
âI know that, too.â She giggled as she moved my hand to the side of her round belly to feel our sonâs kicks.
