A Possessive Mate novel Chapter 34

"Don't worry," he grinned. "We'll be fine."

Later, as I watched Harper and Nate trying to cook, I couldn't help but get rid of the impending sense of doom that I felt. Something bad was going to happen.

Sera's POV

The next morning, I woke up tangled in Nate's arms. He was still sleeping, and I stared at his peaceful face for a while. He had dark circles under his eyes, and a 5 o'clock shadow, which surprisingly made him look better. I wasn't the biggest fan of beards or stubble in general when it came to guys, but Nate somehow made it work. The only other guy that I knew who could rock a beard was Kurt, who had this majestic beard that he liked to stroke.

"Are you staring at me?" Because I was zoning out, I hadn't realized that he had woken up, and was watching me with a fond expression on his face.

"No, I was staring at your bags," I lightly rubbed my index fingers under his dark circles. "They're too dark, you need more sleep."

"I'll sleep when this is all over and you're safe," he sighed, lifted a hand, and ran it down my back. "I would love to sleep in, but-"

"Shhh," I hushed him and covered his mouth with my hand. "It's early, just relax with me."

"Of course baby," he wrapped his arms around my waist and turned me over so he was on top, and I was on the bottom.

"You should shave," I ran a hand along the stubble on his face. "This is covering your beautiful face."

"The only face I need to see is yours," he murmured then kissed my lips.

"Ooooh that was so corny," I kissed him again. "We should-"

I never got to finish my sentence because the walls around us erupted, and everything went dark.

Nate's POV

There was a loud ringing in my ears as I blinked my eyes open, trying to get rid of the blurriness. I was on the ground, pieces of the wall around me, and I was surprised that the floor hadn't broken through.

"Sera?" I called out frantically. I started to lift large pieces of debris off of the ground and tossing them to the side.

Sera's POV

Nate and I watched through the security system as Jack eventually passed out from the wolf bane. Hopefully he would die, I mean it sounds really dark, but I really wanted him to just go. He doesn't have to die, he just has to disappear from this whole universe.

"Kind of sad," I paused and made eye contact with Nate. "But not really." I shrugged and rubbed my shoulder against his.

"I'll do anything to keep you safe," Nate wrapped an arm around my shoulders and kissed the top of my forehead. "Let's just get all of this finished."

We left the security room and headed back to the pack house, which was still kind of together. I'm pretty sure that no one got hurt badly, but the whole house would need to be fixed up.

"Yo, Nate!" Nate and I turned our heads to see Kurt rushing over to us, Harper sitting on top of his shoulders, waving.

"Hi!" Harper looked happy enough, but I was worried when I saw that her forehead was scratched up a little.

"We have a problem," Kurt whispered as he handed Harper off to me. I grabbed her and she wrapped her arms around my neck and I put my arms under her butt, hoisting her up my chest.
