Valerie was shocked to take in the masculine and earthy wolfy scent as Alpha Denzel carried her in his arms for the second time. It made her uneasy.
"What are you doing? I thought you left," she said, trying to wiggle out of his strong arms. His gaze darkened, and he warned,
"Stop moving, or I will leave you to fall." The sternness in his tone caused her to freeze. It wasn't safe in the woods, and no matter how upset he was, he had to linger around to ensure her safety.
Initially, he thought she didn't want him to see her wolf, so he tried to scare her a little, hoping that the fear would cause her wolf to take over, but that didn't happen.
He was beginning to worry if something had indeed happened to Valerie's wolf because of his rejection. No matter how hard he tried to shove the matter aside, the sight of her injured foot caused it to resurface.
