“Mysisters…”
“Maya wasn’t in the best shape but the healer is caring for her and she should make a full recovery. Nova is sharing a room with her on the next floor and before you ask, Leo is here as well. They’re all safe, Luna. I promise. Nothing is going to touch any of you here. Not if I can helpit.”
Tears welled in her eyes and she nodded quickly, trying to brush them away, “Thankyou.”
“No. No more of that.” Michael brushed a stray tear from her cheek, “Everything I do from now on, I do for you. To protect you and keep you safe and to make you happy. You’re mine, Luna. We can put off the claiming, the mark, however much time you need to put yourself back together and be ready for me, I’ll wait. But I won’t ever let you go,okay?”
Luna struggled with the knot in her throat and finally simplynodded.
She couldn’t find the words. He was… perfect. Everything she could have ever wanted or needed in a mate was wrapped up in this one beautiful man that fate had given to her. Even when Nova had told her about the vision, even when Maddox had given her his name, she’d never imagined it would be like this betweenthem.
Perfect.
“You ready for that shower now?” Michael smiled softly, clearly understanding that she needed a change of subject and getting them back ontrack.
She noddedagain.
“I’m going to help you take your clothes offthen.”
Her heart melted and she nodded, raising her arms to helphim.
She pushed away the bad memories. The ones where Maddox had tried to force her to undress for him. Where he’d intended to force her to do a lot more than that. This was nothing like that because Michael was nothing likethat.
He didn’t demand. He asked. He offered. And his touch was light, gentle and reassuring. So much so that she forgot all about how awful she must look and let him undress her with his thick, sure fingers. Listened to him murmur about how beautiful she was as her clothes fell away. She forgot that she didn’t really believe him because she was a mess. She simply, let go and had faith that Michael would be there to catchher.
