Alfreds POV

I could not sleep. I had fallen asleep, but then I woke up again. It was four in the morning. I lay there staring at her for a long time. Every bad thing rushed into my mind. What if I lose her? What if she’s pregnant again? I had all these what–if questions running through my mind. I could feel tears running down my cheeks, just thinking about losing
her to death Made my whole world crash in my head. I needed to go get rid of this
negative energy. I decided to go for a run. It would help clear my mind. I stared at her for a few minutes longer. Then I got out of bed. I changed into some sweatpants and went for a jog.l I did not put any underwear on. I was going to shift and let Leon out.
Vanessa needs to let Sasha out to run as well. We will go together later. I did not want her going running alone. Before leaving, I wrote a note to Vanessa and put it on my nightstand. It was a note letting her know that I was going for a run and would be back soon. I ran for half an hour, and then I shifted to Leon.
You need to quit thinking about bad things that could happen to our mate.”
‘I know.”
But I cannot imagine life without her now.”
We ran for an hour. Then I headed back to the cabin. Henry was supposed to come this morning and give me an update about criminal activity in the town. I wanted to send some of my warriors to stop the criminals that had been terrorizing the town. He has helped me so many times over the years. I wanted to return the favor. I had an extra pair of sweatpants in a box by the back door. I put them on. Even before I opened the back door, I could smell fresh biscuits and sausage cooking. It smelled delicious. What is she cooking? I tried to guess what she was cooking. However, I couldn’t think of anything. But I knew it would be delicious.
When I walked into the kitchen, she was rolling out the dough for the biscuits. She was covered in flour and looked so sexy standing at the counter, covered in flour, and her breasts bouncing with each movement she made. She was so sexy at that moment that I wanted to bend her over the counter, lift her nightgown, and fuck her. Even if her breasts got covered in flour, she would still look so sexy and yummy. But instead, I wrapped my arms around her, kissed her on the cheek, and then went to take a shower. I needed to

relieve myself. Because I had a boner, I know she felt it when I hugged her. I decided she needed to finish making breakfast. I walked into the bathroom.
I could not get that image out of my head. I turned the water on, and I masturbated to that image. I then washed off. Then I could smell her on the other side of the door. I also smelled fear coming from her. She knocked on the door and yelled that someone was at the door. She was afraid of who it was on the other side of the door. I knew it was Henry, so did she, after he told her who it was. But I could still sense that she was afraid. She did not know Henry like I do. She still thinks she needs to knock and get permission to come into the bathroom when I’m there. She did not, and I told her so. I quickly got dressed and went out to the porch to talk to Henry.
Good Morning, old friend.”
Morning, Alfred.”
“Do you have that information for me?”
Yes, I do.”
He hands me a file, and I quickly scan its contents. I will examine it more closely this evening. Right now, I want to get back to Vanessa and my breakfast. I was assuming that it would be cold by now. I shook his hand, said goodbye, and went back into the house. She was in the kitchen, and the food on the table looked and smelled delicious. She had just finished her drink when she got up and served me food. I poured myself a cup of coffee. She gave me a huge serving of food. Then she served herself a small portion. I was not impressed with the small amount of food she served herself. I wanted her to eat more, but I was not going to say anything.
We finished our breakfast, and she then went to get dressed. I walked into the bedroom while she was getting dressed. As much as I wanted to wrap my arms around her, carry her to bed, and make love to her all day, I wanted to take her hiking today. So I just stood at the door. She chose a pair of pants and a long–sleeved shirt to wear. The scars on her back were still visible. They haven’t all healed. Some have faded. The ones that she had before coming to me were still obvious. She was still beautiful, but my heart hurt for her. L could not imagine her going through that, and the thought made me very angry. She finished getting dressed and turned around.
What is the plan for today?”

Chapter 88
” I had planned to go hiking.”
The look of excitement in her eyes told me she liked the idea of going hiking. She put on some socks and a pair of boots. I was already dressed. I made sure we had water bottles
and a snack while we were out hiking. I had decided that we would go along the ridge that led to a beautiful waterfall and have a break there. Vanessa got scared and fell into a huge hole. I screamed her name. I don’t remember there being a hole there. This was a trap. No
sooner than she fell, four wolves attacked me. I managed to get one by the throat and kill it. His body fell into the hole with hers. I could hear Vanessa in the hole, crying and trying to get out. I finally killed the other three wolves and then jumped into the hole, picked her up, and jumped out.
I asked her if she was OK, and she said yes, but I could sense that she was injured. How bad I did not know. I rushed back to the house, sat her down on the couch, and went and got the first aid kit. Again, she tried to say she was fine. But I could sense that she was not. Then she got up and tried to walk, and fell. I caught her before she hit the floor. I then growled.
“YOU ARE NOT FINE.”
She immediately sat back down on the couch. She was scared because I yelled, but at that moment, I did not care. I took a couple of breaths to calm myself down.
