Page 72 of Deceived

I lay there recovering as they all talk a little more. I hear some introductions and fucking Brian flirting with Anna. He’s lucky I know it’s harmless and I’m immobile. Griffyn might not take it so well, Blaze or Aksel either for that matter.

Arms lift me from the ground. I’m immediately protesting. “I can fucking walk. Put me down.”

Blaze rolls his eyes and grunts, looking down at me like I’m an idiot.

“Felix, you cannot walk. Don’t be ridiculous. Let Blaze carry you so we can get the fuck home. Brian and his team are going to take it from here,” Anna says.

I shut up and listen to my mate, even if my pride is hurting.

As soon as we get off the property, we transport back to the house. Blaze carries me up to my bed and helps Anna strip me. She washes off the blood as best as she can and snuggles right up next to me in bed, holding me close to her. This feels like what I just went through with her.

The others leave us alone.

“No more almost dying Felix,” Anna says.

I can feel tears drip on my chest and I hate it.

“Same to you Kitten. I love you way too much to think of my life without you.”

“Same here Felix. When I saw you laying there with blood gushing from your wounds and unable to be healed, I thought of a future without you and it terrified me. You’re my mate and my world.”

“Then let’s both promise right here and now that this hunt for Killian isn’t going to mean the end. We will be safe and fight like hell to stay alive,” I say.

My heart swells when she nods.

“Deal. I love you. Now get some rest, you need it.”

“I love you too.”

I let my eyes drift shut and fall asleep immediately.

Anna

I wake up still covered in some blood and sprawled across Felix’s chest. I immediately sense someone else in the room.

Blaze is sitting in the corner watching us.

“Blaze? What’s going on?” I ask.

“Just making sure you were safe and fine.” He stands up and leaves the room before I can respond.

Felix moans and draws my focus back. His eyes peek open, the hazel drawing me in.

“How are you feeling?”

“Much better than yesterday.” He leans up, only wincing slightly.

He lifts the blanket, looking down at his chest and leg.

“I think it’s going to scar.”

“Mine scarred. Scars are hot. Don’t worry, I’ll still have sex with you,” I say with a wink. “Let’s get you showered. I hate that we are both covered in dried blood.”

“You could have showered last night without me.”

“I didn’t want to leave your side for a second. Plus, you were too weak to shower and I would have just gotten dirty again when I got in bed next to you,” I say.
