Chapter 92

• The next day, the news about the fight between three top soldiers and the future Luna was everywhere in the pack. Shawn couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear during the meeting with the higher-ups as everyone kept showering praises on Alicia. He never knew having a strong mate could be this enticing. All his life, he had willingly allowed himself to be trained into a fighting machine, all because he wanted to protect his mother, and when he wasn’t able to do that, he told himself he would never let nature repeat itself again, and that his mate would have all his protection. One of the reasons he didn’t want to announce to the world that Alicia is his fated mate.
• But who would have expected that Alicia’s words last night would warm him so? He always blushes whenever he remembers it. Indeed, it would be amazing to lean on someone other than himself. He was always the one offering protection; he had deemed it his responsibility, but Alicia had unleashed a desire in him he never knew he needed. He found himself looking forward to her becoming stronger; he really can’t wait now to rest in her arms, knowing he would be protected. He chuckled at that. People would go berserk if they knew the content of his thoughts.
• “And what is making you laugh to yourself?” Theo asked.
