Chapter 45 : Aide

~SINCLAIR~

Alaric took one look at Vannie and paused working on the brown wolf he had been tending to.

This wolf looked like he'd been wounded in human form, but had shifted to his wolf to stop the pain from being too unbearable. When Alaric's weathered fingers brushed the fur that obviously hid gashes, the wolf howled, more sensitive to pain.

Alaric rushed to apply a salve on the wound, but Sin stopped him with a rough growl. "Treat the Queen. Right now."

He abandoned the wolf and indicated for Vannie to be put on the examination table.

"Alaric," another impatient growl warned. It was a fool's battle if he truly thought Sin was going to leave Vannie.

So Alaric began a slow, careful examination of the Queen while her mate held her, knowing well that any misconstrued provocation or any wrong movement would cost him his life.
