章節 76: Chapter 76: GABRIEL

“Stop fretting; I’m here; nothing’s going to happen to her while you’re gone.”

“Who says I’m fretting?” I rechecked my bag to make sure I had everything I needed and to avoid Wolf’s all-knowing gaze. It’s true that I was more apprehensive now about leaving her than I was when I first made the decision to go.

Not only because of the rift between us in the last day and a half but because she’d come so close to danger not that long ago. I realized that as much as I trusted my guys and was coming to trust Lyon and his squad, I couldn’t bring myself to trust anyone else to protect her the way I could.

I hope I don’t have to live with this fear for the rest of my life. Always worrying about her well-being, wanting to be next to her every second of the day to ensure that she stayed safe. Though the feeling wasn’t as burdensome as one might expect, it was still annoying as hell and was going to take some getting used to.
