Chapter 21: Two Special Things at Once?

AJ’s POV

I was trying to shake Maxx awake when something must have happened inside him. My lumbering black wolf had stopped whimpering for a moment, which was excellent news. But he did look a little sad. It deepened into an expression of disgust, as though he had eaten something bad. Only, I saw on his face as whatever that thing was became worse.

I jumped out of the way just as my mate vomited onto the ground. Yet he was still stuck in whatever it was that was happening inside of him. Now, I wasn’t opposed to taking care of a sick mate, quite the opposite! I would just love to know that he was out of harm’s way, first. So I followed anyone’s first-aid training and made sure he was laying the correct way, so that if he threw up again he wouldn’t get in more trouble than just, you know. Throwing up.

Especially because next time he threw up there might not be someone here to watch over him, because I was going in too.
