Relief washes through me at his words. I’ve spent so much time thinking about my family dying and the relief I feel that I didn’tÂ
allow myself to acknowledge how worried about Nick I was. “Thank you, Tony.” He smiles as he nods towards the door. ‘Is Rosie in there?”Â
“She is.” He nods and then goes to step around me. “Tony.” he turns to face me. “Please, forgive me if I’m speaking out of turn but…Â
well… I know things with Rosie aren’t the easiest. How she’s come to be here. Where she came from. But from the little time that I’veÂ
spent with her, she is a sweetheart and I just… I…”Â
“You’re worried about her?” I nod. I’m not worried about him physically hurting her, not in the slightest but what if he can’t come to terms with her life before him? She has two little boys out there somewhere in the world that I imagine she wants to find. I know that if it was me I wouldn’t stop until I found them. “I’m sorry, I know it’s not my place.” I take a step back ready to walk away, embarrassment working its way through my body. I know better than to question anyone and I don’t know where the courage came from but it quicklyÂ
disappeared.Â
“Bonnie. Thank you.” Huh? My head whips up to look at him. Why is he thanking me? “Even when you haven’t known Rosie for long, you’re still looking out for her so thank you. We have spoken about her life and I promise you that we are going to be ok. Will things be easy? I doubt it, but I’m not just walking away. I’m going to do everything I need to for her.”Â
I can’t help the beaming smile that spreads across my face. “I’m sorry that it came across that I was judging you.” He shakes his head. “It didn’t. It sounded like you wanted to protect someone who I suspect will soon become a very good friend of yours. Oh, and Bonnie… never feel that you can’t question me. Never fear my response. Even if I did get angry at something that you have questioned me over, I swear to you that I would never hurt you, no man in this pack will ever hurt you.”Â
“I think I knew that, I just… somethings are hard to let go of.” He nods gently smiling at me. “Of course they are, but it will get easier to do. You are so much stronger than you think, Bonnie and I for one can’t wait to see the true you come through and shine bright.” How are all the men so nice in this pack? It’s so different from my old pack. It’s so refreshing.Â
“Thank you, Tony.” I have a feeling that Tony is going to become a very important person to me and that thought fills me with joy. I’ve never had a guy friend before. We chat for a few more minutes before going our separate ways. If Nicky went for a shower then he must be in his room and I decide to go there and check on him.Â
As soon as I reach the Alpha floor I head straight for the bedroom, I don’t even think about knocking on the door, I just walk in and straight to the bathroom door but then freeze for a moment. Do I just go in to check on him? or do I wait in the bedroom for him? I mean I’ve already seen him naked but what if he wants time alone to process everything that has happened? He may not want to see meÂ
yet. What do I do?Â
“Get your pretty little ass in here, mate.” Nicky’s voice is gentle but his words are firm. How the hell did he know that I was out here? I slowly open the door and hold back a groan when I’m greeted with the sight of Nicky standing in front of the sink. He’s got a towel wrapped low around his hips while water runs down his body and the sight has my whole body tingling.Â
