Chapter 44: Leana

After getting Rich’s trial date moved up, I get a mind link from Xander asking me to join him and Maeve in the bedroom he put her in.

‘Maeve needs clothes. We didn’t have a chance to get any because we were attacked by some witchy goons at her shop,’ Xander says.

‘Is she hurt? Are you?’ I ask, moving faster down the hall.

‘No, we’re both fine,’ he says, and even in the mind link I can hear him sigh.

‘Xander?’ I ask as I knock on the door.

‘Later,’ he says and I walk into the bedroom.

“Hi Maeve. Xander said you need some clothes and some toiletries. I wanted to get your sizes and see if there is anything in particular you want or need.”

“You don’t need to get me anything. I’ll be fine,” she says, looking at Xander. “I won’t be here long, right?”

Xander doesn’t answer her, he just walks out of the room. He’s struggling with their mate bond. That, I understand, so I’ll help him and her as much as I can.

When I turn back to her, Maeve is watching me.

“You were attacked?” I ask.
