my bedside table on her way down. Why hadn't I smelt her blood until now? I really needed to start paying attention more, especially when Holly was concerned."Oh, sweetheart" I soothed, quickly sprinting into the bathroom before coming back with a damp cloth. I wanted to cry when I heard her hiss of pain when I pressed the cool damp cloth on her arm, but when she tried to pull her arm away I held on gently but firmly, knowing it needed to be kept still as I tended to it."Let go" she whimpered, and while I normally would have done so instantly I knew she needed to have it looked at. She wasn't at a point in her health when she healed as quickly as she was meant to, it would need cleaning up and bandaged.

 

 

 

Chapter 59

 

"I'm sorry sweetheart, but we need to get this cleaned up" I told her before I swept her into my arms and headed downstairs, telling her to keep pressure on the cloth on her arm. Thankfully she obeyed without any further fault, holding it to her arm as I dashed downstairs and into the kitchen. Sitting on the table I frowned when I saw how much of her blood was running down her arm, shouldn't she be in more pain?Looking in her eyes I couldn't help but take note of how dark her eyes were, clearly she was suppressing the pain and I hated that she had experience with these types of injuries due to the treatment of her previous pack."Keep that right there" I told her before I went to grab the first aid kit under the sink, placing it on the table in front of me before grabbing some antiseptic wipes and some bandages. I was gently cleaning up her wound when Ryan walked in, his eyes widening as he took in the situation."Damn, you alright there Holly?" he asked as he stood by the doorway, my mate glancing in his direction with her watery eyes and I saw him flinch at the pain that must have been present there."I'm fine, just a scratch" she told him, her voice gravelly."Just a scratch, shit" I heard him curse when he caught sight of her arm. Yea, it wasn't just a scratch. "You sure you're alright?" he asked, clearly concerned for his alpha female.I watched as Holly gave him a nod before staring blankly at me, watching me curiously as I wrapped a bandage around her arm before tying it in place."There" I smiled.  "Thank you" she replied softly, running her fingers across the bandage as she looked at me with adoration. I felt my heart skip a beat, finding I absolutely loved her looking at me like that."You're very much welcome" I smiled, cupping her cheeks as I used my thumbs to wipe away the tears which had stained her cheeks. "Much better"I didn't know how long we sat there before Jake pondered into the kitchen with a guilty look on his features, my body instinctively moving in front of Holly's when I realized he must have been the wolf who startled her in the first place."I am so, so sorry Holly" he told her, my form relaxing when I took note of how sincere he was being. "I promise to make more noise next time" he promised with a cheeky grin, but it was clear it was forced."I'm fine, Jake" my forgiving mate smiled, resting her forehead on my back between my shoulder blades as I felt her breath in my scent. I grinned."Again though, I'm really sorry" he told her, shifting uneasily from foot to foot as he eyed me cautiously."It was an accident, just don't do it again" I told him, getting a nod in return as I could practically feel the relief rolling off his form. I rolled my eyes, but didn't comment. "What did you want anyway?" I asked curiously, wondering what he was after in the first place and what his reason for knocking was."I urm…I actually wanted to talk to Holly" he confessed, looking incredibly sheepish.At that I watched as Holly seemed to perk up, her chin resting on my shoulder as she stared at Jake with an intrigued expression on her soft features. God, she was so beautiful."About what?" she asked curiously, her soft tone like chime bells."I know it's probably not the best time to ask, since I scared you and all but I was sort of wondering…if you would kind of…help me bake again?" he winced, my brows raising at the favour he was asking from her.I was just about to speak, not wanting her to feel pressured when I felt how much pleasure she got from it. Clearly baking was her escape from the world, and not only was she a great cook but she seemed to enjoy it a lot more than most did. I couldn't and wouldn't take that away from her I decided, she was her own person and if cooking is what she wanted to do then she could cook to her heart’s content."I would love to" she smiled brightly, her injury forgotten."Really?""Yep, what you wanting?" she asked with bright eyes, my eyes rolling when I took in how Jake’s chest puffed out with pride at making her happy. I sighed and shook her head, idiot."It's for Annie; she's coming around tonight and asked whether there would be cake. I don't want to disappoint her" he admitted."Ok, what kind of cake?" Holly asked, clearly in her element."Urm…" at this I couldn't help but chuckle along with Ryan at how lost he seemed at her question. "Lemon?" he told her, though it came out more like a question than anything else."Lemon? Sure" she smiled, her arms wrapping around my neck as she used me to help her down. I couldn't help but grin, making a move to clear up the first aid kit before wiping it down the table. Looks like we were all meeting Jake’s mate tonight, I just hoped for her sake that she didn't upset Holly since it was a well—known fact that Holly came first and the pack came second. It was just how it was. I could find another pack, what I couldn't find was another mate.

 

 

 

Chapter 60

 

Adrian's Pov

"Holly, sweetheart" I smiled as I tried to get her attention as she finished placing the finishing touches on the lemon and cream cake she had just spent the last hour making. I had a feeling it had taken longer than usual due to Jake’s apologies for startling her every time he caught sight of the bandage on her arm, not to mention his continuous questions on what she was doing and how she was doing it. It was incredibly amusing.The finished cake though I had to admit looked and smelled amazing, it being made up of two layers with a creamy filling before Holly had taken her time with covering the whole surface and sides of the cake with a lemony buttercream.In addition to that she had decorated it with deep swirls and she had even gone as far as to make delicate hand—made yellow roses which she positioned on the cake making it look as if it had been made by a chief who had years of experience. I had to admit I was more than a little proud of her.Glancing at the clock I took note that it was in fact quite late, Holly as well as myself still in our sleepwear while everyone else had gone to get ready. Due to us meeting Jake’s mate for the first time first impressions always count, and the fact Annie was a human meant that it was up Jake to decide when to break it to her about the whole wolf thing. I could order him to of course, but I would only do so if I thought there was no other choice. I had no need to do so though, so he could take as long as he needed and wanted before spilling the beans to the red—head.The fact she was a human didn't bother any of the pack, I mean why should it when he had found his own happily ever after? It didn't  change the fact that when she had a child with Jake it would inherit the gene since it would, the pack generally didn't care either way that both of its parents wouldn't be werewolves and only one would.Shaking my head I tried to get Holly's attention again, this time getting it instantly as she placed the last yellow rose in the centre of the cake before grinning in triumph. "Yes, Adrian?""Come on sweetheart, we need to get dressed" I told her as I got out of my seat, holding my hand out which she instantly took hold of."Ok. You may want to put that in the fridge, Jake" she told him with a smile as I wrapped my arms around her waist, hearing her giggle as I nipped at her neck."Alright, thanks Holly" Jake grinned as he did just that, growling at anyone who came within an inch of him as they laughed at his careful actions. I had to admit it would be a shame if he ended up dropping the cake, especially when Holly had gone to the effort to make it for him.With that I swept Holly's giggling form into my arms before heading upstairs, simply loving the feel of her wrapped around me as I lead her towards my bedroom before reluctantly placing her on her feet while making sure to hold her waist so she didn't lose her balance."Thanks" she beamed widely."You're welcome" I winked before heading to my closet, grabbing out a red button—down shirt and a pair of black jeans.I was brought of out my musings when I took note of Holly standing there awkwardly, her hands clasped in front of her as she bit her lip in a gesture which I knew meant she was nervous. "You alright?""Urm…what am I meant to wear?" she asked me curiously, making me smile in relief that it was a problem I could so simply solve. Due to us sharing a closet, my idea, I glanced at her clothes while making a note that she needed more of them. I wanted to spoil her, but she seemed to be really uncomfortable when it came to accepting gifts so I decided to simply buy her some without her knowing. I knew her sizes
