Chapter 45: Her mate.
"That’s for us to find out." Daniel wheezed.
"Daniel, we have to go to the hospital. What did they do to you?"
"The other one produced a red flame by wagging all her tails and I didn’t jump away In time, I was hit hard before they finally left. Barton that doesn’t matter now. They could shape shift into anyone and get Naomi at all costs. We have to protect her..."
"We?" Barton suddenly scoffed. "Daniel, If they want her, then let them take her."
He didn’t actually mean what he said but he was surprised that Daniel was interested in protecting her no matter how badly he was wounded and he just wanted to find out his reaction to what he just said.
"Why are you saying this Barton..."
"When Naomi felt confused and dejected and broken about a truth she’s been hidden from for so many years, all she needed was comfort and what did you do? What did her mate do? You rejected her, Daniel. Without a second thought. And you broke her heart. And now you suddenly don’t want her to leave?"
"They’re obviously dangerous. They’ll hurt her."
"I don’t think anyone would hurt her as much as you did last night. So just let it go Daniel. You’re already in a much worse condition. You can barely stand. If it’s Naomi they’ve come for. Then they can take her." Daniel parted his lips to talk but he cut in. "I’d suggest you keep your nose out of this matter or you’d end up being burnt to death."
