seemed to be doing better, and they didn’t want to trigger anything.
At noon they had lunch, and then Angel decided it was time that she went and checked in at the hospital. She wanted to see how Flame, Janie and the two wolf pups were doing. And, yes, she could admit it to herself only, she wanted to see Chase. She was hoping she would get a glimpse of him while she was out and about. The mate pull was strong and hard to ignore. She was hoping that maybe a few minutes spent with him would calm her wolf. Her wolf on the other hand wanted to find him and jump his bones, the horny bitch.
As she neared the hospital, she saw Janie sitting outside on a bench by some flowers. She was rubbing her belly and singing softly. Angel glanced around and saw two enforcers standing by the hospital building, casually leaning up against it. Good, Janie had guards.
As Angel went over and sat down by her, Janie stopped singing, but her hand never left her belly. They sat there in silence for a while and then Janie slowly reached out her other hand and grabbed hold of one of Angel’s.
“Is there anyone I can call for you, Janie?” Angel asked. Janie just shook her head. “You must have family somewhere looking for you,” Angel said. Once again, Janie shook her head. “There is no one,” Janie said quietly. She sat there for a few minutes in silence and then looked up at Angel, her eyes full of sadness. “I’m a latent wolf shifter. I was kicked out of my pack because I can’t shift. I made it for a full year on my own before the General and his men found me. They had me for two years before you rescued me. I don’t even know why they took me. I can’t shift. I don’t know if my baby will be able to shift. But he would not let me go.”
Janie was trembling, but she was talking. That was a huge step. As far as Angel knew, Janie hadn’t said a word since they had gotten to the compound. Angel wanted to kill the bastards that had hurt this gentle, frightened woman. “Do you think they will make me leave, Angel?” she asked with tears in her eyes. “I don’t have anywhere to go. I don’t have anywhere safe to take my baby.”
“You have a place in my pack now if you want one,” a deep voice said. “You and your pup will always be safe and protected here.” Janie’s head snapped around and she watched Chase through lowered eyes. “Alpha,” she whispered, the terror evident in her voice. “You will never be hurt here, Janie. Never be made to do anything you do not want to do. There is no need to be afraid. You are safe now.” The truth was in his voice, in his vow to her. He would not let anyone hurt her ever again. She was one of his now, and he protected what was his. Chase let loose some of his power. He let it roll over Janie and comfort her.
Janie looked at Angel with both hope and fear in her eyes. Angel nodded reassuringly, smiling warmly. Janie turned back towards Chase wi th grateful eyes. “Thank you, Alpha. I accept your offer. I would like to join your pack.”
Chase just nodded, a soft, gentle smile on his lips. “Your apartment is ready for you, Janie. We are giving you a two bedroom so that you will have a nursery for the baby.” She looked at him in shock. “You mean I get my own place?” she asked. “Of course,” he responded. “Unless you don’t want to be alone? If not, then there are several single female wolves that can stay with you. We can put the baby in your room, or we can upgrade to a 3 bedroom so you would both have your own room and the baby would still have a nursery. I think there is one still available. I would need to ask Jenna.”
“No, no,” Janie said quickly. “A two bedroom is fine. But, maybe Flame could stay with me? If she wants to, that is. I would feel safe with her.”
“We can ask her,” Chase agreed. Angel’s heart jumped
