Kane's Mate(35)

“Princess, where is Jamie?”

She sighed. “Hi, honey. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

He frowned at her.

“Fine, Jamie is heading home where I hoped you were because your medical skills could be used.”

He cupped her face and kissed her gently. A cleared throat interrupted him. He glanced up to see Dr. Jerome, who stared at him like he was trying to figure out a puzzle.

“I’ve called Dunsty and Callum as this is too close to you, Kane.”

Kane nodded at Jerome. Ignoring everyone else for a moment, he stared at Faith. Taking her hand, he pulled her off the bed and out of the room with the major following. Kane was furious.

“Why the hell are you here, Faith, out without protection?”

He didn’t care what had happened, she was his mate, the next alpha female. Everyone better be dead or he would kill them. She was fucking pregnant. He held his wince as he thought that, glad he was only ranting in his mind because he was the only one who knew beside Arden, and he would kill Arden if he had let her go out.

Jerome cleared his throat again behind him. Kane growled.

Faith sighed, and she stepped forward, holding her hand out. “Hi. If you didn’t figure it out already, I’m Kane’s ma...wife.”

Jerome’s smile was huge. “Ah, the famous princess. I’m Dr. Jerome Stark.”

Jerome laughed as Faith turned a pretty pink.

“Can I ask what your name is? Kane has never said it, he always calls you princess.”

Faith laughed at this. “Faith, Faith York.”

Kane growled. “Faith Wolfen.”

Jerome nodded and smiled. “Can I just take Kane away for a moment?”

She nodded, shooing him off. They walked over to the nurse and doctors station.

“You have a lot of explaining to do, Kane. They have a clearance one for the situation for the girls in emergency, there’s a list of questions I’m not allowed to ask, not to mention the condition of the women. Shit, Kane, do you know what the hell is going on?”

Kane watched as six more military men came in.

“They’re making everyone sign a confidentiality agreement. What the fuck is going on?”

Kane tuned his friend out as he watched his wife introduce herself to the new military men. She was so hot in what she was wearing. He smiled, thinking of all the fantasies he was going to get her to fulfill when they got home.

Jerome nudged him again, sighing. “Just go, Kane. I can see I’m not going to get an answer, and if I had a wife who looked like that I wouldn’t even be here. Go take her home, because you’re an idiot if you don’t notice how most of the men in here are eyeing her.”

Kane nodded, wiping the smile off his face as he knew his teeth had lengthened. “Thanks.”

He went over to the group of military men to introduce himself. He already knew two from his days in the military. He excused himself and Faith.

“I’ll take you home if you give me five to ten minutes to get my things.”

She smiled up at him, looking exhausted. “Thanks, I’ll call your dad to tell him not to send anyone then. Major Black will be coming back with us.”

He nodded and gently pulled her into his arms. He leaned down, kissing the top of her head. As he glanced back up again, he groaned. Ah, not tonight. The woman just wouldn’t give up. “I’m sorry, princess.”

She glanced up at him, confused. “What are you sorry about?”

He turned her around, leaning down to whisper in her ear. “For what’s about to descend on us. Dr. Bethany Balanco.”

“Dr. Wolfen, I have a patient I want you to meet,” Dr. Balanco purred out.

He gripped Faith tighter, shuddering in revulsion. It wasn’t that the woman wasn’t pretty, it was that she never gave up. No matter what he said, she threw herself at him every chance she got.

She ignored Faith, continuing on, “I was wondering if you—”

Her fingers crawled up his arm, he removed her hand. “Dr. Balanco, Dr. Stark will have to take it as I’m heading home with my wife.”

She looked startled for a moment then finally noticed Faith. “We didn’t know Kane was married,” she said to Faith. “He’s never mentioned you. I hope you know how disappointed all the ladies will be. Kane was thought to be one of our most eligible bachelors, and we have all wanted to get our hands on him.”

He felt Faith straighten against him. “We’ve only been married a couple of days, but I’ve been a family friend for years. I just returned from overseas, and Kane grabbed me and hasn’t let me go. So all the other women will have to find a new bachelor to hang off, because this one belongs to me.” Faith held out her hand. “Well, it was a pleasure to meet one of Kane’s colleagues, but if you’ll excuse me, I need to go help my colleague make something disappear.” Faith dropped her hand when Dr. Balanco glanced at her outstretched hand then ignored it.
