Micah gazed down at his fist, which was a bloody mess from the attack. He didn’t feel the pain, and he charged for the cage and broke the lock. Charlotte lay in a heap on the floor, and he picked her up in his arms. She moaned but didn’t pull away.
“I’m so sorry,” he whispered.
“Don’t do that now. I’m so sorry I acted like a crazy woman.”
“You can go crazy on me, just never leave me again.”
Charlotte chuckled, and he carried her out of the cage.
“What shall we do with him?” Cade asked, staring down at the bloody Brandon.
“Leave him. Let it be a lesson to the wolves.”
“You were so brave,” Charlotte told him.
“I had to be. The woman I love was in danger,” Micah said, smiling down at her.
“You love me?”
“With all of my heart,” he confirmed.#p#分页标题#e#
“You know, when I thought of love being mentioned, I’d hoped for a more romantic venue,” she informed him.
“Then consider that one an apology for all the other times I should have said it.” Micah kissed her on the lips. Charlotte turned away.
“I’ve got puke breath.”
“I don’t care.”
The moment they hit the outdoors and the fresh air, Charlotte felt a million times better. Her stomach settled more with each indrawn breath.
Micah placed her on the ground. Titania was standing to the side waiting for her, and Charlotte ran to her friend and embraced her.
“I was so scared,” Titania cried.
“Me, too.”
Cade slapped Micah on the back. “We did it.”
“He’ll come back. This is just a pinprick. Brandon won’t give up without a fight.”
“We should just kill him.”
“You know our laws wouldn’t condone that,” Micah said, and hugged his friend.
“Charlotte, watch out!”
Both men tensed, and their attention went to the woman being called. Brandon emerged from the building, and he brandished a weapon. A knife glinted in the moonlight. His target was Charlotte.
Micah started to run, but it would be too late. He watched as Titania noticed Brandon, threw Charlotte to the ground, and stopped him. Brandon struck out at her, but she wasn’t having any of it. She kicked out and sent him sprawling, a war cry breaking out as she snapped his head from his shoulders, decapitating him.
Micah went to his mate while Cade took a now-screaming Titania away. He heard her whimpers. “He was going to kill my queen.”
“You did what you had to do.” Cade hugged the hysterical woman.
“She’ll have to answer to the wolves,” Jordan said, coming toward the three.
“No, she won’t. Titania killed a wolf to protect her alpha’s mate. She won’t answer to anyone or anything,” Micah informed the other man. He walked the short distance with Charlotte in his arms. “You saved my woman, my queen. Anything you need, ever, let me know. I’m in your debt.”
Titania nodded.
“Come on. Let’s go home.”
Chapter Nineteen
A few weeks later at the next full moon...
“Don’t run from me,” he warned.
Charlotte stared at the full moon above her, the moonlight casting a glow all over her body. Even covered in her clothes, she knew her body drove her mate crazy. Micah looked so big and powerful looming above her. He took her breath away. To think she’d been mated to him all of these years and hadn’t been with him since the beginning.
“My mate wants me,” he whispered.
“Always,” she answered.
Her heart leapt when he tore the shirt and jeans from his body. Watching him get naked made her melt.
“I love you,” he said.
Charlotte chuckled. Ever since he’d saved her from the cage Brandon had put her in, he’d spent every waking moment telling her he loved her. She relished hearing the words.
“I love you, too.”
He leaned down and kissed her. His tongue thrust inside her mouth, and she tasted him on her tongue.
“I want you so much,” he said.
“Then take what you want. I’m here, and I’m yours.”
His teeth grazed her nipple, and she gasped with the sheer pleasure. Her pregnancy had brought about a huge change with her body, and every touch on her breasts created so much sensation. She could now climax with her breasts alone being sucked.#p#分页标题#e#
“Are you sure? What about the baby?”
They’d agreed that during the full moon she’d allow him to claim her in front of his wolves. For the past few weeks, Micah had been testing her body with his fingers and a few dildos, preparing her anus for his penetration.
