Her Spellbound Wolf (Sawtooth Shifters Book 5)
Page 11
Watching her transform was truly a thing of beauty, even if she hated my guts. Her brown fur was tipped with gold, and her body was sleek, power rippling below the surface. Her breath was noisy, and now she didn’t hesitate to come over, check me out. X growled at her, and she nipped at him. Good thing for her it was playful, because I would’ve torn into her.
I had to get a hold of my emotions if I expected to survive this night.
“Not convinced,” she sniffed, but returned to Major. He was seconds away from his own transformation.
Connie, the woman Cass hired as a nanny for her daughter, came in the room. I’d never been happier to see her. She’d have my back. “You don’t have anything to worry about. Chandra’s my niece.”
A collective gasp formed over the wolves. Like a bubble, everything threatened to pop.
Cass’ daughter, Emma, came over wrapped her arms around her mother’s neck, burying her face in her fur.
“I don’t trust you, either,” Cass growled, stalking over to Connie. “You tortured me when my husband was alive, and the only reason I gave you a second chance was because Emma loves you. Don’t make me regret my decision.”
“She’s my aunt.” My heart pounded. X stayed by my side. He knew something they didn’t. “My parents left the forest when they found out they were pregnant. They didn’t want to sell me. When it was time for me to mate, they wanted me to have a choice.”
Cass’ body relaxed. “That I can understand.” Her tone softened. “You have a lot to prove to us, Chandra.”
I approached her, adrenaline speaking louder than experience. “I’ve been taking care of X like he was my family. Dropped my life to make sure your pack was taken care of. If that didn’t prove anything, you need to think about your priorities.”
Cass growled, but I stood my ground.
X returned to my side. The heat from his body comforted me before he came into view. “Knock it off. The last thing we need is more fighting, especially between ourselves. You don’t have anything to worry about, Cass.” He looked at me, the gold in his eyes like flowing lava. “Because Chandra’s my mate.”
