Chapter Thirteen

Given how large pack lands were, it was surprising that they’d actually found someone. Michael had introduced the two young men, juveniles both. They’d been happy to meet her but also very careful to not get too close. ’Course, that could have been the growling Michael was doing when they dared to inch in. Eventually he’d waved them on and they’d continued to walk, looking for some of the older ones.

Her hand was in his and she looked up at him. “You aren’t wearing your cape and your face isn’t hidden.” She smiled. “I’m glad.” She didn’t understand why he wanted to hide the scar on his face. Yes, it did lend him a very dangerous air, but he did that anyway just being him. “And thank you. For being the one to walk with me and introduce me to people. That makes me very happy.”

“I’m Prime Alpha. It’s my duty and privilege to do so. I also don’t need to hide the scars here on pack lands. They all know the damage I suffered and only know I survived. That’s what matters. To them, scars are nothing but markers of someone that has seen battle and come out the other side stronger for it.”

“Exactly,” Rissa said with a smile. “That’s how I see them. I see you for you, Michael, I always have.” His scars had never scared her, only made her ache and hurt for him while he was healing. That part had all but killed her.

“You have a look on your face,” he said, though he’d never once looked her way. “What’s with the look you have, Rissa? Is something wrong?” he asked as they walked through the quiet of the forest.

“I just remember when it happened. You being hurt had all but killed me. It really had. I had hated how much you hurt. I never, ever want to have that feeling again,” she whispered. “Especially when you shut me down as fast as you had. You pushed me out of your life without letting me be close to see that you were okay.”

His hand pulled her to a stop even as his large body slid in front of her. “A wounded male doesn’t like being coddled, especially a wounded male with a mate. We’re supposed to be the strong ones, the ones to protect,” he said softly. His hands cupped her cheeks and forced her head up so their eyes met. “It’s stupid, it’s idiotic, and it’s the truth. We are what we are, darling. I can’t apologize for being who I am. I didn’t want you to see me like that, and I only left because the vision in my one eye was compromised. I couldn’t, in good conscience, remain as your protector until, if, it healed. It did, but by then it was too late. Raphael and Gabriel had moved up the ranks and were in place. I never meant to hurt you, Rissa, and I’m so sorry I did. I promise I will make it up to you each and every day of the rest of our lives.
