Chapter Six

One week later…

Nala jogged up the steps to the guesthouse and quietly let herself in.

Shh! her wolf growled. Don’t wake him up.

She closed the door as quickly and silently as she could then unlaced her boots, pulled on slippers, and looked toward the bed.

Her wolf wagged its tail wildly. Mate! Mate!

Shh! she reminded the beast. Let him rest. He’s earned it. It’s been a busy couple of days.

Her wolf hummed with satisfaction, remembering just how busy she’d kept her mate the previous night. And the night before that, and the night before that…

She pursed her lips and stopped there, because delving further back in time made her confront uglier memories of Harrison on the brink of death. Harrison, holding her hand and whispering good-bye. Vampire poison had nearly robbed her of her brave mate — poison she’d been spared because the vampires wanted her blood clean for the feast they planned.

Her stomach roiled at the thought, and she shook her head. Harrison was okay thanks to his strength and the pack healer’s skills. She was okay, too. Everything was okay.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Whew.

The first two days had been touch and go, and she hadn’t left Harrison’s side. On the third day, he opened his eyes, and soon after, the healer had proclaimed the poison purged.

The healing will accelerate now, the woman had said, and wow, was she right.

By the fourth day, Harrison was back on his feet. He’d even made a slow loop of Miscoe, the tiny village they’d grown up in, and the kids whispered as he passed.

“Eight vampires! He and Nala held off eight vampires!”

He earned respectful nods from every wolf they passed, including Nala’s sister, Lana, and her mate, Ty. The second those two wolves from Twin Moon pack spotted Harrison, they came over, and Ty stuck out his hand.

“Good job, man.” The desert wolf nodded, one hero praising another. “Good job.”

For a man of few words, that had been an entire speech, and the sincerity in his voice made it clear his run-in with Harrison was forgiven, forgotten.

Nala had been holding Harrison’s left hand, and she’d felt his grip tighten, but otherwise, her mate didn’t so much as blink.

Of course he didn’t, her wolf said, swelling with pride. He’s proven himself.

That he had, a hundred times over. And boy, was it nice to see Harrison realize it, too. He hid his pride with a modest shrug and mumbled thanks, but there was a new shine in his eyes. An inner peace.

Her pack had celebrated his return, and everyone treated him as if he was another son of the ruling alpha. In other words, a cut above the rest.

“Good to have you back, son,” Nala’s father had said when Harrison had recovered enough to receive visitors. “Good to have you back.”

“Good to be back,” Harrison replied. The little shake in his voice said just how heartfelt those words were.

And when her mother had come to visit on that same day…

“Thank goodness!” the pack matron had said, hugging Harrison like one of her own brood.
