Lenora stands and unlocks the apartment door. James is pacing the hall and rushes inside as soon as he is allowed entry.

“My Love! ” he exclaims when he sees Delilah bundled up on the sofa. He kneels down and caresses her face, giving her little kisses.

“Oh, Puppy. Don’t worry. I’m okay, ” she smiles as he comes to her side.

“James, you can take her wrapped in the blanket so she won’t get cold. I will get it back some other time, ” I offer.

“It’s alright, Luna. My truck is out front, ” he carefully unwraps his mate from her cocoon and hands the blanket to me before picking her up bridal style. Lenora drapes his coat over her.

“Delilah, I will come see you tomorrow if you’re feeling better, “ I tell her.

“Thank you, Kas, ” she says sleepily, leaning into James’ chest. James gingerly walks out of the apartment so he can take his mate home and care for her. I pang of guilt strikes my heart.

“Hear what?” I ask, looking at her with confusion.

“Delilah calls James ‘Puppy’, ” Lenora giggles at the thought of big burly James being called a puppy.

I cover my mouth hiding my giggle. Once I collect myself I turn to Lenora, “Okay, no more stalling, where’s
