Chapter 26: Ruthless To Oneself

Anastasia strode to her cabin when a shadow appeared from her peripheral vision, making her step back on instinct. But the moment she saw who it was, a smile automatically appeared on her exquisite face. "Ben! You're back!"

Her sweet voice echoed within Ben's heart, stirring his wolf's protective instinct. Ben held Anastasia in her big burly arms, his every caress is gentler than the previous. He was holding her like a precious flower, not knowing Anastasia's thoughts.

'What took you so look? You are really a piece of garbage for making me wait this long!'

Despite Anastasia's inner disgust toward Ben, not a trace of hostility could be seen in her face as she gaze at Ben – a gaze as if she was worshipping her hero.

Tucking her hair behind her ear, Ben nodded. "I'm sorry it took me so long. The security of the Blood Claws Pack is much tighter than I have initially thought."
