CHAPTER TWENTY

THEODORE

Theodore walked inside the cabin with his mate in his arms. He could see the bruises all over her body from his harsh training. He did not mean to hurt her, but the intense training was needed for her to be strong for whatever they might face when they enter vampire territory. He could not risk what happened the last time she encountered a vampire ever happen again. His wolf only would kill him if he allowed that to happen again.

Theodore gently places Anastasia on her bed and walks to her bathroom to fill the bathtub with warm water for her. She must be exhausted, but she needs a good bath to have a good sleep. Once Theodore is done filling the bathtub with water and scented oils he found in her bathroom. He walks back to her.

“Anastasia,” Theodore calls her name softly for the first time. He is trying to wake her up. He knows he can’t be harsh with her after all the training she endured.
