Chapter 44 Abondoned Heart

• The white powder crunched beneath his bare feet with each hurried step he took as Aiden rushed through his home, Black Pines Forest. After coming to an agreement with Griffon that he would return the girl back to her family and the town his heart had not stopped aching. His wolf rampaged in the back of his mind echoing the dissatisfaction he felt toward their mate.
• But as Griffon had painstakingly pointed out she was still human, she may have been his mate, and although he could sense the strength of will, that could rival any Alpha he knew she was in fact still vulnerable to the supernatural physical strength their kind possessed. Even though Aiden and his wolf would do anything to protect her even he with all his abilities and strengths could not protect her from everything.
• It was a hard pill to swallow for the werewolf but one he was so painstakingly aware of thanks to his much older friend. He tightened his hold on her and pulled her shivering body towards his own. She was so strong for a human, to have survived all this time in his home basically on her own alongside all she had been through. It was truly amazing.
