Chapter 56 Lachlan

• I could feel Seren all but trembling within my arms, but I knew that effect was not down to me. That warrior she had near surrendered herself to had broken her. Had I not arrived when I did he could have taken everything from her. My whole body was trembling too, and it was not in fear like Seren’s. The trembling coursing through my body was in rage. Yet as Seren’s big brown eyes looked up at me, I could feel no anger toward her.
• Yes, she had been foolish. But, I hated hearing her call herself stupid. This was more a man trying to take advantage of a naive she-wolf. That warrior had known exactly what he was doing, and that infuriated me.
• “You need to be more careful, Ren.” I mumbled, seeming unable to look away from those eyes of hers. They were looking at me with such need right now. “We don’t want you getting hurt.” I told her. Regardless of any resentment I may feel toward her, the thought of Seren getting hurt really did terrify me. She lowered her gaze downward a little, making a piece of her hair fall down over her face, making me reach out and stroke the hair back around her ear. In doing so, I found myself inexplicably edging a little closer, I had a feeling pushed to do so by Tyr, who was overwhelmingly content to have Seren this close.
