His hand moved closer to her, but before his fingers touched her skin, a hand grabbed him and stopped him from doing what he was about to do.
"I'll do that myself," Scott's deep voice roared as he almost slapped his hand away. He didn't even wait for them to give him the go-ahead or even stop him from carrying her. Their mum almost wanted to stop him but Jackson held her hand and shook his head.
A big smile broke into Jackson's face and he patted his brother's back. He was happy to see him or his wolf still standing and wanting to fight anyone who didn't want him closer to his mate.

His hands went behind her thighs and behind her back. He then snatched her up in his big, strong arms.
