Page 27 of The Konungr Takes a Mate
Her body responded to his order even though he could see her mind trying to fight.She handed him the knife before leaving.When she stopped in the doorway and turned back, he wondered if she’d consider being claimed again right here in this room before they headed home.
“Fenrir?”
“Yes, Summer?”
“You’re naked.”
“Yes, my mate, I am.Liam has my clothes.”
“Oh.Okay.”She turned and looked around the warehouse before turning back again.“Is it safe for me to be out here with all these wolves?”
“Yes, sweetness.They are our guards.Go to Liam and wait for me.I’ll join you soon.”
“Huh.Okay.But don’t take too long.I’m hungry.”
“As you wish,drottning minn.”
Chapter Fifteen
Summer turned her attentionand looked across the warehouse to where Liam stood by a door.She heard Fenrir talking behind her, and a second voice that she thought she recognized, but could not put a name to.She had met so many people over the past week, she was having a hard time keeping all the names and faces together, much less remembering voices.
Not sure about the three black wolves who circled the bodies spread across the floor, she locked her gaze on the door and started walking, hoping the big beasts would not attack her as she walked amongst them.When one wolf moved in to walk beside her, she hesitated for a moment.He paused and turned to look at her, as if encouraging her to continue on.Looking around behind her, she saw the other two wolves had disappeared somewhere.
Forcing herself to take deep, even breaths, she remained on her feet and kept moving forward.By the time she reached Liam, she’d begun to shake as tears of relief filled her eyes and blurred her vision.
“Close your eyes,drottning minn.” Liam said gently.
He moved to stand directly in front of her so all she could see was his broad chest.He held one arm out to the side, which was when she noticed both arms had clothes draped over them and both his hands held a pair of shoes.
The wolf beside her walked around behind Liam.A moment later, a human hand reached for the clothes Liam held out.
Summer closed her eyes when a high-pitched scream behind her filled the silence.Her teeth began to chatter when it abruptly cut off and a silence filled the building once more.
She felt more than heard Fenrir running towards them.Liam moved back and allowed his king to step in front of her.In the next instant she was pulled into a strong embrace.
“Are you all right, my Summer?”Fenrir asked as he rested his cheek on the top of her head.
