“Stop fretting; I'm here; nothing's going to happen to her while you're gone." “Who says I'm fretting?" I rechecked my bag to make sure I had everything I needed and to avoid Wolf's all-knowing gaze. It's true that I was more apprehensive now about leaving her than I was when I first made the decision to go. Not only because of the rift between us in the last day and a half but because she'd come so close to danger not that long ago. I realized that as much as I trusted my guys and was coming to trust Lyon and his squad, I couldn't bring myself to trust anyone else to protect her the way I could. I hope I don't have to live with this fear for the rest of my life. Always worrying about her well-being, wanting to be next to her every second of the day to ensure that she stayed safe. Thoug
