Dead Luna – Chapter 9
Leonard’s POV
Yesterday when I first smelled Amelia’s sweet scent at the diner, my wolf Lance got very excited. But once I realized who it was, I was filled with anxiety. In the three years we had been apart, I hadn’t found anyone that I wanted more than I wanted her. The guys kept teasing me, so I didn’t have time to think of the best way to approach Amelia again. But then she had to anger and humiliate me in front of my Alpha, and treat me like some misbehaving child. And I wanted to hurt her back for that. In retrospect, I knew I had deserved it, but I certainly wasn’t in the mood to be reasonable at the time.
When I saw Amelia last night being abused by those rogue assholes, I felt so much anger that I completely snapped. I chased down the guy who dared to shove his stupid little prick into my mates mouth against her will, and I completely destroyed him.

I guess her injuries were still bothering her. Then Amelia finally convinced me to let go of her hand, and I was going in for a hug, but suddenly the room was filled with doctors and nurses, pushing me away from her. They needed to check her out. Sure, that was reasonable under the circumstances. But I didn’t have to like it.
