Chapter 58

*Wade POV*

Ali has seemed anxious all day. Anytime we were near the forest line, she watched it like a hawk looking for its prey. As if she was expecting an attack at any moment. Even now, as we walk back to the packhouse, her eyes keep darting around looking for some evil force that wants to sweep me away.

“Ali”

“Mmm,” she says looking over her shoulder.

“Are you always this tense before stressful things?”

“No! And that’s what’s got me even more on edge. Something doesn’t feel right. But I can’t place it.”

“Everything will be fine,” I assure her.

“Right.” She scoffs. “Do you know how difficult you are to guard?”

“What? Me!?”

“Yes! You are always running headfirst into dangerous situations. Rogue attack? You’re the first out the door. Sparring session with a jealous mate? Tap Wade in.”

I laugh a deep, hearty laugh. I can see her point.

“And don’t get me started on your wily ways that got Trudy all enamored with you.”
