Lucas went through to the bedroom and left them to it. He lay down on the bed and let his thoughts wander. Whatever Jessica’s solution was, he was so glad that it had brought them to Wynter Hollow in time to fight off the enemy clan, and he also felt like tonight had brought them closer together. He and Christian had worked as a team, united in their need to protect the clan, but most of all, to protect Jessica. He could see that Christian’s concern for her was identical to his own.

He could hear their voices coming from the bathroom, as they chatted and teased each other, and he hoped that the solution wouldn’t cause any of them pain.

When Jessica was done cleaning Christian’s wounds, they came back into the bedroom. She immediately gave a long yawn. “I think I need to lie down,” she said, and climbed onto the bed, shuffling along until she was right in the middle, next to him.

“I guess I’ll head to bed too,” Christian said. “I’ve been awake for two days straight, and I don’t think I’m any use to the clan right now.” He strode to the bedroom door, but Jessica called him back.

“No, stay,” she said. “I need you both here, protecting me.”

He shrugged.

“If you think there’s enough space in the bed?” Lucas glanced across the bed. It was a huge bed, bigger than king size. Even with the three of them in there, there was plenty of space. Jessica tapped the empty portion of the bed adorably.

“Of course, come lie here.” She pulled the comforter out from under her and Lucas’s bodies, and as Christian climbed into bed, she drew it over all three of them.

Christian fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow, his breathing slowing and little rumbling sounds coming from his chest.

“Poor guy, he’s so exhausted,” she whispered, turning over in the bed so she was facing Lucas.

“The past few days have been real hard on him,” Lucas agreed.

He smiled at her tenderly. She looked so vulnerable lying there, and his bear bristled again at the thought of what had almost happened to her. More than anything, he longed to take her into his arms, to comfort her and help her to forget the trauma she’d suffered. But he felt that it wouldn’t be right.

“Shall I turn the light out, little one?” he whispered. She nodded.

“Please.”

He flicked the switch, plunging the room into darkness. She was silent. He strained his ears, trying to figure out if she was awake and feeling sad or scared, but before long, her breathing became heavier too. At last, he allowed himself to relax, his sore, aching body surrendering to the comfort of the soft bed.

But while the darkness brought sleep to the others, it brought only anxiety to him. He began to worry that this would be the last time he’d get to lie so close to her. She’s mine, his bear told him over and over, and he had to stop it from reaching across the bed and holding her in a possessive grasp.
