Chapter 155: Part 4

Honey trailed his father to The Kodiak's cabin knowing Mandy wouldn't leave Patreous until the boy woke up. Sonora waited with hot tea and immediately poured a cup for Mandy after Honey brought a chair so she could sit next to the bed the young cub lay on.

"He followed me," she said softly.

Honey stood behind the chair and circled his arms around her neck placing one hand over the beat of her heart. "Who followed you?"

"Patreous. His father will punish him."

"No, he won't." Honey kissed the top of her head.

A long sigh left her throat. "Was the entire property searched for other cats?"

"Yes, my fierce she-wolf, and we are posting additional guards."

"Thank you." She leaned her head back against her mate's stomach.

"We owe you the thanks, Mandy. Patreous will survive." Honey's gruff voice held conviction.

"Yes, I think so, too. His color has returned, but please can I stay until he wakes up?"

"Yes, we're staying."

Honey stood behind her for two more hours and didn't let go.
