45 & 46

“This is Sebastian. He will be responsible for your security from now on.” Cahir introduced me to a tall and lean muscular man.

He had close-cropped sandy brown hair and he looked like he had never and would never smile a day in his life. The stoic expression on his face while he was introduced made me feel as if he didn’t like me - as if he thought guarding me would be a waste of his time. The words he spoke next made me realize I was right.

“With all due respect, Alpha, I am the head of your guards. It is my duty to protect you and only you.” He turned away from me as if I wasn’t anything.

“I don’t need your protection,” Cahir said to him without paying much attention. He seemed to be waiting for something – or someone. “She is my Luna. Protect her with your life.” With those words, he dismissed Sebastian.

“Yes, Alpha.” He left Cahir’s office with that, giving me one last intense look before he left.

“Sebastian is the best man to protect you,” Cahir informed me after the guard left.
