Nathan's POV
I urged Collins to drive faster back to Hemsworth Villa.
Aria might have agreed to rest, but I knew her better than she knew herself. She wouldn't sleep. Not until Lana was back in her arms. That woman could wait three nights straight without blinking if it meant protecting someone she loved.
She was stubborn, exhausting and admirable.
Goddess, she was all of it at once.
"How much longer?" I snapped, my voice low, my wolf pacing restlessly beneath my skin.
Collins didn't flinch. "Five minutes, Alpha."
Five minutes.
I curled my grip around Lana a little tighter. She was safe. Aria would see her soon. So why was my chest still tight? Why was my wolf still snarling, unsettled?
I didn't understand it.
But Collins obeyed, pushing the engine until it roared.
Five minutes
