NovelBookChapter 0379 - Josie - Knox had lefta note to say he was going to attend the morning border switch with Ezra, which didn't cas a surprise. I knew he wouldn't be able to last too long without sussing out the security details further.
But when he hadn't returned by mid morning...and missed breakfast, I was on the verge of going out to search for him.
He didn't know the grounds, not like the Dark Phantom lands...and I was growing concerned as the clock kept ticking and he hadn't returned, that maybe he had got lost.
Which is absurd because Ezra was with him. I just need to calm down and be patient. He wasn't the alpha trainer for nothing, he knew how to handle himself.
"Should I go look for him?" I ask Lobo in a playful voice as I bring his snout to my face and scratch behind his ears, his tail waggling at my attention. He desperately needed a long walk, Petra had over fed him this morning with bacon and sausages. A VIP breakfast for Lobo, he wouldn't get that at home.

"There you are." I turn to him, his expression one of concern. His eyebrows were furrowing and his eyes were penetrating through mine. I don't think I've ever seen him like this. Those dark brown broody eyes completely take my breath away, even when they are mixed with a level of concern.
"What is it..what's wrong?" His eyes have my back straightening, my wolf pushing forward...ready.
"Why would anything be wrong?" Ezra chuckles as he pats Knox on the back and moves into the sitting room where he passesbut not before patting Lobo on his back.
I eye Ezra suspiciously as he walks past me, being careful not to meet my eyes.
"Why are you standing there like you are frozen on the spot...cin, sit down." I turn to Knox, my eyes still narrowing.
"I'm not frozen on the spot and I'll have a shower first...we took part in training." "Of course you did." I breathe a sigh of relief. It makes sense now why they were both so late to return.
He can't help himself can he... has to see the difference between Mum's and Dad's warriors. Has to see which pack is the best.
Although little does he know that both sets have been trained by Dad.
"What do you fancy doing today Josie?" Auntie Alora asksas she reaches over to the coffee table for her cup of tea.
"I was thinking of swimming in the sea." "No!" Knox flatly states, too hurriedly for my liking.
"Excuse me?" "No swimming in the sea, no leaving the pack grounds." He places his arms around his chest, an eyebrow quirking, his body challengingto challenge him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I'm not leaving the pack grounds, the pack grounds progress into the sea waters." Was he being serious...I'm not sure where this surge of protectiveness has cfrom, but he won't tellwhat to do. "No, not until I have done a thorough check." A thorough check, a thorough check of what? This was my hfrom home, my family pack. Does he not think the borders are safe enough forto dip my toes into the water.
Something has changed, from the moment we arrived to his rounds with Ezra..he's gone into work mode. Defence mode. "What have you told him?" I turn to Ezra, an accusatory look upon my face.
"Nothing." Ezra places his hands out in defence as he continues to back away fromand towards Auntie Alora.
In watching him do that, I miss Knox close the distance between us. Until his hand is upon my face.
"With the hunter attack, I just want to make sure all borders are covered..." His changes his voice to a softer one, my wolf purring in my mind. She's a love sick puppy of late. "They are, they always have been." I turn my head, mindful not to look in those dark brown eyes. "Have they also not been at home?" His thumb grabs onto my chin, as he turns my head back to meet his gaze.
As I melt into his eyes, I realise he actually had a good dpoint. (suppose it doesn't help to have a fresh pair of eyes check the security.
