To protect what’s‘ mine
Chapter <b>53 </b>Markus
I feel terrible. Uncle Mike <b>had </b>smacked my hand, lightly, and it
starred Rose. She was still crying as the borrowed into Amatiers
chest. She had been crying for thirty minutes now. Rose let out a few hups as she cried
I knew that Uncle Mike felt worse. He hadn’t meant to scar her. Mike had always smacked my hands when I had snatched food before we were supposed to. It was never a hand bit, most times I never felt it. It was all for fun, and we always leighed. Rose hasn’t watched us do this yet. Now I am d that we hadn’t done this yet. I don’t think we would have been able tofort Rose The way
she needed to be
Ama continued <b>to </b>rub Rose’s <b>back </b>soothingly and whisper to her. Rose’s crying was finally starting to slow down. She let a
sniffles slip
Rose, I’m sorry I scared you,” Uncle Mike whispered “I promise that never hurt you. I had been messing with Markus He
steals the food, and I tap his hands to shoo him away,”
I promise that <b>he </b>didn’t hurt me,” I tell her.
Rose lets out one more sniffle before she turns her head to look at me and then Uncle Mike. She looks over Mike Rose offers ber pinky to Uncle Mike, “Pwomise,” she said softly.
Making slow movements, he reached out and wrapped his pinky around hers. “I promise sweetheart. I will never hurt you. If anyone tries to hurt you, they will have to go through Metin and me.
All of us let <b>out </b>a sigh of relief <b>as </b>Rose started to calm down.
“What did I miss?” Uncle Will <b>asks </b><b>as </b><b>he </b>
e joins us.
“Nothing.” Uncle Mike smiles as his eyes ze over, he’s mind linking his mate <b>as </b>Uncle <b>Will’s </b><b>eyes </b>ze over.
“Well, I don’t know about ya’ll, but I’m hungry,” I say as I carefully grab a sandwich. I make sure that Uncle Mike is not going to smack my hand again.
He shakes his <b>head </b>at me and finishes getting the food out<b>. </b><b>Cal </b>fills a te for Ama and Rose. Once their te is done, the rest of us fill our tes. Uncle Mike grumbles to himself about felding extra people, I know he is joking because he tosses James his favorite chips that he had <b>packed</b><b>. </b>
“You are the best!” James exims as he snags the bag from the air.
“I know,” he smirks as he fixes himself a te.
“So Rose, did <b>you </b>have fun?” Uncle Will <b>asks </b><b>as </b>he eats <b>a </b>bite of potato sd.
“I was princess,” she <b>whispers</b>.
“<b>We </b>will <b>have </b>to get you a crown to wear,” Jamesughs as he is happily munching on his chips.
“Can be green <b>and </b>blue?” <b>Rose </b><b>asks</b><b>, </b><b>eyes </b>wide and hopeful.
“It can be what ever color you want it to be, I tell her. I start to think about what kind of tiara I wan to get her. It will not be a
fake stic one. No, I will get her <b>a </b>real locking one, with real looking gems.
“We should get her one with real gems,” Aziz tells me.
<b>‘</b>That will be perfect,” I agree with a smile on my face.
Chapter 53 Markús
“Whatever you are thinking about, stop right now,” Am? orders as she takes a bite of her half of the sandwich.
“i have no idea what you are talking about?” I tell her innocently, I have noticed that the will only eat about half of what we put on her te. The other half, typically the bigger portion, she gives to Rose or encourages Rose to eat. I know it has to be ingrained behavior to make sure Rose gets enough food. It is only after Buse eats her fill, does she finish what is left. She never goes back fr
As Ama is distracted by Cal <b>and </b>Sam, I slide some more fond onto her te, adding to what was already there so she doeart notier. Rose gives me an inquisitive look. I ce my finger to my lips to tell her to keep quiet. Rose smiles and happily munches on her portion. Once done, she climbs onto myp so Ansa can finish her meal.
Ama is still distracted by talking, all she does is ce a kiss on Rose’s head and then continues to eat. Aziz and I practically porr <b>in </b>delight as we notice she eats the rest of the te, never noticing that she had a second helping. Uncle Will had told Cat and I <b>when </b>we had rescued Ama that she was under weight and would need to eat more. If slipping more food onto her te was the way to go, I would dly do it at every meal.
“I guess you six need to be heading towards the pack house, Uncle Mike tells us, interrupting the different conversations that were
going on
“Thank you for lunch,” I tell him as I stand up. I adjust my grip on Rose who was asleep. After <b>she </b>ate, he started to doze in myp
as we talked
“We’ll meet you there.” Uncle Will tells us
with a smile.
Ama goes to stand up, Cal sweeps her up into his arms. Our beautiful mate lets <b>out </b>a squawk of protest before she settles down herself. I watch Cal press a <b>kiss </b>to her forehead before he takes off towards the <b>pack </b>house.
Sam utters a sigh as he grabs Ama’s crutches and follows behind, Jamesughs and takes off running towards the pack house. I can only imagine the chaos that is going to cause.
