It’s Normal To Be Afraid
Zara
"White isn’t your color, Blue Rose," Alpha Kane teased, striding toward on his slender legs. His gaze never left , shrouded in anxiety.
I tried to smile at his words. Relief washed over , then a feeling of security.
Alpha was here.
I’d be safe.
Even though I knew how to protect myself, Alpha Kane’s presence reinforced that feeling.
"Yes, hospitals have a peculiar sense of humor. They offer the sa coloring for both the living and the dead."
Worry flickered in Alpha’s eyes, as if he didn’t appreciate my answer.
Alpha Kane replied calmly, "Nothing will happen to you. How are you feeling?" Alpha Kane walked to the foot of my bed and took that stupid hospital pudding from the tray.
Removing the wrapping, Alpha walked over and raised the bed with the lever.
"Everything’s fine, fresh as a rose," I replied, watching his thick hand fiddle with the lever, adjusting it to a comfortable position.
Satisfied, Alpha Kane settled his massive figure next to on the bed. The warmth of his body penetrated , even though he wasn’t physically touching .
Mr. Cold was incredibly warm today, and I needed it; I didn’t want to dwell on it or think about what had happened. Alpha Kane filled a spoon with pudding and offered it to like a caring Alpha for his pack mber.
"It better be good, I’m starving," I warned before taking a bite, and his lips twitched, trying to suppress a smile.
Why was Alpha Kane always so afraid to smile?
"I will buy you whatever you want."
I nodded slightly and tried to swallow the sticky pudding. Alpha Kane offered another spoonful, and I took it. Without taking his eyes off the pudding, he began:
"I spoke with the doctor, and fortunately, there are no internal injuries or broken bones, but you do have bruises on your arms, shoulder, and neck." Alpha’s voice was quiet and worried, his face frozen as stone. His gaze darted painfully to my hands.
This was understandable, since those were the only parts of my body the man could attack.
"It’s not that bad, it’s mostly my fault. I was trying to open the elevator door. Sotis I can be so stupid," I tried to joke, not wanting to seem pathetic or evoke sympathy.
"You’re not stupid, Zara. You were fighting for your life and suffered from claustrophobia. It’s normal to be afraid sotis."
Slowly raising his head, Alpha Kane allowed to look into his completely serious eyes, a gaze sharper than a guillotine blade. There was an unspoken promise in his next words.
"Tell everything, leave nothing out."
Leaning back against the pillow, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes for a few seconds before beginning.
As he’d asked, I left nothing out and even told him about my claustrophobia. I hated confined spaces; it was like my worst nightmare.
Alpha Kane listened patiently, never interrupting, but his silence was like a cetery where he was about to bury the man who had hurt .
My breathing quickened, even as I recalled the incident, and I couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if that man had succeeded in kidnapping .
Alpha Kane’s hand gently rested on my shoulder. I knew he was avoiding my hands because they were wounded.
"I have him, and soon I will have all the answers; you don’t need to worry anymore. Just focus on healing." Alpha’s words were like a slow-acting poison, aid not at , but at the man who dared to harm , full of unspoken threat.
At that mont, I realized that Alpha Kane, like my father, was a strategist; he would get to the bottom of this and not stop until he had all the answers.
"Isn’t it..." It’s normal to be afraid.
A weight clouded my mind and my eyes. My eyelids felt like lead. With difficulty, I slowly opened them, and the bright light in the room almost hurt.
"I texted your dad on your behalf. There were a few ssages from him, and I didn’t want him to worry."
Did he even know? My dad will be worried about .
"Where did you get my password?" I asked, confused, and he smiled slowly, almost mockingly.
"I know your password. Relax! I haven’t opened any other apps."
’How the hell did this wolf know my password?’ I rolled my eyes.
’Nothing surprised in Alpha’s presence.’ Nova was always on Alpha’s side.
"Where?" I asked, almost irritated. He just shrugged.
"You’re not very discreet about it."
Approaching , Alpha Kane kissed tenderly on the forehead, his hot breath brushing against my skin. I itched to grab his shirt and hold on, despite everything Alpha said.
Alpha Kane’s soft lips lingered, bringing the blood rushing to my face.
"I called your friends; they’ll keep you company while I take care of so business. I’ll co over this evening and take you ho."
My forehead and Alpha’s lips parted like two magnets, and he slowly rose and set the bowl of pudding aside.
A light knock on the door finally drew my attention away from him and that sweet kiss that was ant to stay with for a long ti.
"You may co in," Alpha Kane said. The door opened, and I saw Sophia enter with flowers and chocolates.
"Zara!" She had a wide smile on her face, and I couldn’t help but smile even wider.
She rushed toward .
Alpha Kane lingered by the door, a hesitant shadow; his unblinking gaze took one last look at , and then he vanished, leaving with Sophia.
"What happened to you, Zara?" Sophia was curious.
I told her all that had happened to .
"You are not safe in the city, either." Ultimately, she said this.
’Sophia is right, we are not safe anywhere.’ Nova was tense.
’But we are brave enough that we can handle anyone easily.’ I rolled my eyes.
