Chapter 155
“It’s yours” I said rubbing my eyes “I didn’t want to leave your side for a second”
“I’m fine, little lamb” he said reassuringly “Everything is okay”
“But I betrayed you” I choked out “I tried staying at the cave but they took me here and wouldn’t let me leave and I…I started trusting him and they…..they hurt you” I felt the beginnings of a panic attack coming along “hey, hey calm down. Deep breaths, Celena.” I listened to Brett’s voice and did as he told me, thankful when I felt myself relax. “you didn’t betray me. I’m not mad. I’m just glad you’re safe. I was so worried, Celena.” he said looking at me with so much emotion I wanted to cry again. “And they didn’t hurt me, the hunters did that. They just questioned me in exchange for help.” he smiled softly. “Come here”
I immediately climbed into his bed and he held me beside him, offering me the comfort I had missed so much. “tell me the truth, Celena. Have you been having nightmares again?”
I frowned and nodded and he sighed, running his hands through my hair before saying”1 to 10″
the question felt so routine, so like what he constantly asked when we were still at the cell and he’d see my pain, or wake me up from a nightmare and ask how bad it was so he’d know what lessened the nightmares and what worsened them. It relaxed me to a degree. But I really didn’t want to worry him with how scary my
nightmares had been these days.
“8” I answered honestly, knowing I couldn’t lie to Brett. He sighed and held me tighter “Rest now, little lamb.
I’m here.”
I nodded and immediately fell asleep in Brett’s arms.
Jacob
I growled angrily as I paced Dave’s’ room. It was the closest one to the room my mate was in and I needed to be as close as possible. I cursed Ethan for having the walls be soundproof, even for a werewolf. I wanted to know what was happening.
“So what you’re saying is. You screwed up.” Dave said from his bed “You basically threatened your mate who has a bad past and scared the crap out of her.”
“And you say Ethan’s the i***t” Jim said from beside his brother. I groaned and stopped pacing to run a hand along my face and look at them.
“I shouldn’t have said that” I said, I knew I had messed up the second those words left my lips. My mate looked absolutely horrified. “Imagine if it was your mate covered in blood, not resting and crying. She wasn’t even eating and her health is frail enough already. I just lost it”
The guys rolled their eyes before Dave asked “So what’s up with this Brett guy? She seems to adore him”
I growled at that “She doesn’t seem to think he’s a threat. But he’s obviously a hunter and I don’t trust him. He could have easily fooled her into trusting him.”
“He seemed genuinely worried about her in that cell” Jim said with a shrug “I don’t think he’s a bad guy.”
“he’s a Hunter” I growled “they only want to kill werewolves. They kidnapped her and did who knows what with

her for I don’t know how long.”

“So keep an eye on him” Jim said “But don’t ruin what you’ve so slowly built with your mate. She’s skittish
enough as it is.”
“what he said” Dave agreed and flinched when Jim punched his arm “What I was agreeing with you”
“I sensed sarcasm”
“Well your spidey senses are going haywire then.”
“Shut up, you have…” I tuned the twins’ bickering out and thought about what Jim said. It was true. Just by threatening her I had already ruined whatever progress I was making, not to mention her thinking we hurt her precious Brett. I needed to think this through. I had to protect my mate, no matter what. But I also wanted her to trust me. She just had to trust me.
I needed a plan.
Recap
He sighed and held me tighter “Rest now, little lamb. I’m here.”
I nodded and immediately fell asleep in Brett’s arms.
Celena
“Well you seem to be fine now” Miranda said stepping back and collecting her stuff “the fever has broken and
you’re cuts will heal in time. the bullet wound is superficial and just a deep scratch but I would advise to rest
your arm and not move it much for a week or so”
“Thanks” Brett said sitting up “Must’ve been hard for you to have to fix up someone you hate”
“I’m a doctor” Miranda said “I don’t walk away when there’s a chance I can help someone…even if he is a
hunter”
Miranda left shortly after and I sat alongside Brett. I had told him what had happened since we became apart and he told me he didn’t feel these people were a threat. I hadn’t talked to Jacob or been alone with him since Brett was brought in and I didn’t know if I should.
“Hey, you okay?” Brett asked, snapping me out of my daze. He looked worried; he was constantly worried about me I noticed. I think he felt bad for leaving me to fend for myself once I told him how hard it was before these people took me in and although I told him more than once he had to, I could tell it would take a while.
“I’m fine” I said with a smile that faded once I saw what he was doing “Brett, you aren’t supposed to get up” I said as I hastily ran over to him
“I can’t stay in bed” Brett said giving me a reassuring grin. “Come on, let’s have a look around I hesitated and he noticed “Hey, I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
