Chapter 9 Punishment

When Ezra got to the pack house, he carried Nina bridal style, and discreetly moved into the house. She seemed to have fallen asleep, but she held on tight to him. Something about her just made his heart clench. It was as if she sought for protection, for love. He could give her protection, but he wasn't too sure about love.
When he got to the room, he lay her on the bed, and she whimpered a little, before falling asleep again. He then mind linked Axel, before getting up to attend to some things.
When Nina woke up, she was surprised to find Claire in the room. Did Ezra send her in?
