It would work.

And I didn’t want to let it.

Letting him take care of me even more would just make it happen faster.

“My sisters will handle it.”

He growled, but it was half-hearted. “I need to go to my room to change. Will you come with me?”

I didn’t want to agree, but my phone was in there. And he was helping me with a lot.

And my room was kind of overrun with blood.

So maybe going to his apartment was actually a good call.

I nodded, and he tucked an arm around my waist. A surprised noise escaped me, but we made it across the hall quickly, and without any pain.

He helped me down to the couch before he disappeared into his bedroom for a moment. I leaned against the cushions, and when he came back out in a pair of jeans and a long-sleeve tee, I couldn’t help but stare.

It was unfair that he looked that good. Seriously unfair.

He handed me my phone, and sat down on the couch beside me.

I tried not to wince with the motion as I turned away and sent my sisters a quick message.

Me

Hey, something happened. I miss you and need to see you. You were right about the fated mate thing. Meet you at Izzy’s lake in an hour or two?

Clem

WTF did he do?

Blair

Do we need to kill him?

Izzy

I’ll bring chocolate

Zora

If he forced you into anything, he’s dead

Me

I’ll explain in person, but I’m okay

He didn’t force anything. He’s just not going to let me go back to the Manor anymore.

Can you guys find me some warmer clothes? I’ve been wearing his. The castle is freezing

Clem

I’ll go shopping

Blair
