agreed without second thought.
“We have a problem with the other Pack. Marissa will be staying here at the main house. I would like for you to go to Elizabeth’s house and bring Marissa’s belongings here.”
Marissa opened her mouth then closed it quickly.
“Then we are on high alert. I want a full watch. Especially around the house.”
Sam nodded. Logan knocked and entered the office. Gage acknowledged him with a tilt of his head.
“Then I would like you to stay here at the house with Logan and me, in case there is any trouble.”
“Of course, Alpha.”
Gage dismissed Sam and turned to Logan.
“They’re gone. The gate is closed and locked. I have four men on guard there,” Logan informed him.
“Good. Make sure Sam has the others doing rounds,” Gage told him, even though he knew Logan would take all the precautions that were needed. Still, he felt better knowing everything would be in order to protect Marissa.
“Yes, Alpha. No one will get in without permission.”
Gage wanted more security than that. “I want no one else leaving.” He wouldn’t put it past Brandon to take someone from his Pack to try to trade for Marissa. “Also call Greg and warn him. Preferably without Elizabeth knowing. I want them to enjoy their honeymoon but also be careful.”
“I’ll make sure of it,” Logan promised and Gage knew he would be taking care of things personally. “Anything else, Alpha?”
Gage looked over at Marissa. She had been silent the entire time. “Get me what you can, Logan. I want these files that he’s talking about. Also anything on the Alpha position transfer. I want what was sent to the Council. Call my father if you have to. ”
“I’ll get started right away.” Logan glanced at Marissa before he nodded and silently left the office.
Gage stalked to Marissa and wasn’t surprised when she leaned away from him. He’d done his duty to make sure his Pack was safe and now was the time for comfort.
“Come here,” he said.
Slowly Marissa stood and took his hand, keeping her eyes down at her feet. Gage gently led her from his office and up the stairs. Once they reached his bedroom, he let her enter first. Marissa walked into the large room then sat on the edge of the bed.
Dropping to his knees in front of her, Gage gripped her hands. “Talk to me,” he demanded softly.
Marissa didn’t hold back her tears any longer. “I’m sorry, Gage! I’m so sorry.”
Getting up and sitting next to her, he wrapped his arms around her. It broke his heart to see her so upset. “Shh.”
“I… I…don’t know what to do!”
Gage held her close to him and tried to make her feel protected. “I’ll take care of it. Take care of you,” he promised her and meant every word. She would never have to go through that again. She belonged to him now and Gage would spend the rest of his life showing her how loved and wanted she was. No one would ever put their hands on her again.
He was so pissed off at himself for letting it happen in the first place. He’d thought that Logan was with her when he’d allowed one of his Pack members to engage him in a conversation. He should have kept a better eye on her. “It’s going to be okay.”
“He’ll start a war. I don’t know why. But I know he will,” she managed to get out between sobs.
“Shh. Baby, let him try,” Gage said as he stroked her back.
“I don’t want anyone hurt because of me. I don’t understand why he’s doing this.”
Picking her up, Gage then took her to the head of the bed and pulled the covers back. He placed her gently down. “Please don’t worry, Marissa. I will take care of this.”
Tears still streaked her face. “I won’t go with him.”
“I know, baby. I wouldn’t let you even if you wanted to.” He allowed her to wear herself out with the tears and sobbing. Gage hoped that would help her clear her mind and let go of her fear. It went on for several minutes before she quieted.
