Chapter Six

Powell shoved the iron poker at the fire, lining up the burning logs with precision. The flames surged and sputtered. What the fuck had he done? He couldn’t bear to look at Olivia. She’d trusted him.

He’d betrayed her trust. He was no better than Alfred, forcing himself on her.

Blind and injured, she was his responsibility. Not because he was a park ranger, but because he was her mate. Even though she didn’t seem to sense they were mates, he was sure they were. Hell, maybe wolves didn’t know when they met their mates. Maybe it took longer than a first touch for them to know.

It didn’t matter. He’d taken advantage of someone in a weaker position and that wasn’t his style. Kissing her when she was in such a vulnerable position had been out of line.

Dammit.

Sorry wasn’t enough, but what else could he say? She was stuck in his cabin for the foreseeable future unless they got out the snowmobile and tried to get to town. With her injury, the last thing they needed was to have to deal with an accident. They needed to wait until the snow stopped before snowmobiling, that would be safer. He’d gone out on rescues when the snow was pouring down, of course, but he didn’t want to risk his mate.

He peeked at her.

Blond hair splayed across her shoulders, blanket pulled up under her nose—she looked like a child hiding from a scary movie. Yet he knew how strong she was. The fact that she’d set out, blind, not once but twice, into the forest to get away from an unimaginable fate with her pack proved that.

She’d had a rough couple of days.

The flickering fire their only light, she was bathed in oranges and yellows, more beautiful than any girl he’d ever seen. Knowing she was his mate cast her in a different light, for sure, but he’d dare say she was gorgeous inside and out.

He’d kissed her because he couldn’t resist. He’d never been in that position before.

Way to go.

Now he felt like a first-class asshole. Never mind that she’d kissed him back. That might have been habit from dealing with Alfred, responding out of fear of repercussion if she didn’t. Anger rose in his gut.

If that damn wolf had harmed her, he would kill him. It wasn’t an idle threat. The bears had dealt with the wolves before, and Powell already knew what a scheming jerk the red wolf was. He’d used his own injured brother to gain the bears’ sympathy and scope out intel to take to the lions. Probably had been paid well too.

He breathed out slowly. Getting ahead of himself and letting his imagination run wild wasn’t going to solve anything. He didn’t know the truth about Olivia’s relationship with Alfred, other than she didn’t want to marry him.

She hadn’t said the wolf had done anything to her or physically harmed her, though clearly he’d been emotionally abusive. Powell shouldn’t leap to conclusions until he knew the whole story.
