She felt small against me; soft and trembling.
“I spoke to one of them,” I murmured against her, kissing the top of her head. “They are here for you.”
Her entire body tensed, and she peeked up at me with worried eyes.
“Me?” She asked. “Why? Why would they come here for me?”
“Whoever tipped them off to your location knows exactly where you live,” I told her, holding her even closer to me like I was afraid she would slip from my grasp at any moment.
Her heartbeat kicked faster under my palm.
I pulled her even tighter.
“Don’t be scared. They aren’t getting close to you… I promise you with my life I will not let them touch you,” I told her, running my fingers through her dark strands of hair.
“What about Irene and Matt?” She asked, her heart suddenly skipping a beat. “Are they okay? Did you check on them?”
“They aren’t after them, but yes, I sent Erik to them,” I reassured her. “You have nothing to worry about. Our family is safe.”
She let out a breath, though her body didn’t relax.
I couldn’t blame her for not relaxing, though I wanted her to relax because of the baby inside her belly. She couldn’t handle this kind of stress right now. Inside, the fury was continuing to build rapidly; it was dark and violent as I thought about the hit on my mate.
Someone targeted my pregnant mate. Someone had dared to use rogues to get to her. Someone actually thought they could take her from me. I lowered my mouth to her forehead as I spoke to her.
“I’m going to find out who did this. And when I do, they are not going to walk away.”
She swallowed hard.
“Gavin—”
“You’re safe…” I said firmly. “You’re not leaving my sight. Not tonight, not tomorrow, not until I know exactly what we’re dealing with.”
