Nate and Jaden were sitting in the kitchen without growling at each other. They reached some sort of peace, maybe helped by the scent of the food.
They heard Lara reaching the bathroom and rummaging in the drawers for a while. When she sighed hopelessly, they both understood she was looking for the first aid kit.
The running water made Nate realise she wouldn't think of looking for the medicine in the kitchen.
He got up and brought the kit with him.
When Jaden moved to follow him, he turned back and used all the calm he was capable of. His aura turned dark as he ordered him to sit back and guard the food.
He didn't like using his Alpha abilities, but he wanted to have a word alone with the woman.
He knocked and stepped into the bathroom without waiting for a reply.
He found Lara, shirtless, tapping on the wounds with a towel.
«Yes?» she murmured at first. Then, she covered herself with that same wet and stained towel.
Her eyes widened as she took a step back.
