"Esther, are you sure you are fit for this meeting?" Anthony asked Esther who was trudging behind him, supported by Freya and Maya. "You just woke up. You shouldn't be stressing yourself already. You should be in bed."
His gaze flitted to Margo who was talking with Sheila. Margo gave no indication that she had heard him. Sheila, however, gave him a subtle look to leave the girl alone.
Anthony wished he could. He never understood why Esther had that much hold on him. She wasn't his mate. Yet, he couldn't stop himself from always wanting to be near her. His wolf was just as confused as he was.
