Chapter 135
LEAH
My hands shake as I pull the pendant back on. It hangs between my breasts and draws attention to my cleavage, which I suppose is good, although I
didn’t expect Aaron to get so annoyed
about me forgetting to wear it.
This is all new to me.
My stomach is a bit knotted and I reach
for some bread.
It. Is. Delicious.
If this is just the carb course, I’m pretty
sure the rest of this meal is going to be
orgasmic. I blush. Well, no. Nothing is
going to compare to that.
“What are you thinking about?” Aaron
asks.
I blush harder.
He chuckles.
I’m going to miss this. Seeing him

It’s easy to forget that I’m dying as I focus on the day-to-day dealings of my

barrels toward the wolves positioned at the door. James stops him with a hand to Liam’s chest. “Not one step more,” James
warns.
“Back off, Beta.”
“No.”
“That’s my sister,” he growls as if daring
Aaron’s men to stop him.
“Let him through,” Aaron says.
But he’s not alone.
Aaron bristles as two other wolves follow
behind Liam.
The first is a darkly bearded man with
eyes
that are almost translucent. The
stark contrast between his light eyes

second man is blond and makes me think
of Vikings or warriors from the Steppe.
He’s really tall and wide with brown eyes
that take in every detail.
Both are heavily tattooed and they look, I

“Hello Alpha,” the Viking-looking wolf
