Battle Scars

Chapter Eleven

I had fallen asleep in the truck while Bo drove us back to the Pack house. When we returned, we were bombarded with questions, none of which we would answer. I was ashamed that it was something from my past that caused Bo to end up in the slammer, even if it was only for a couple hours. This was all my fault and it was killing me. We headed up to our separate rooms and I begrudgingly got ready for the party. I put on a light green skirt that flowed just below my knee and a white, off the shoulder shirt that according to Nell, accentuates my curves. After wearing those damn wedges all day, I slipped on a pair of white flip flops and headed into the bathroom to do my hair and makeup. I pinned my bangs back and retouched my makeup from earlier before heading down to Bo's bedroom. I knocked on the door and I heard him call me in. Walking into his room I watched him as he walked out of his bathroom in only a towel and water was trickling down his chest. As much as I want to ogle him, I am in too sour of a mood to do so.

"What's with the frown, Frankie?" He asked as he used another towel to dry his dripping wet hair.

I sat on the bed and let out a sigh. "This is all my fault, Bo. You ended up in jail because of my past. This is going to be on your record forever and I feel horrible. The Pack is going to hate me now." My face fell into my hands and I worked myself up enough that I started crying.

"Frankie, knock it off right now. I would have done so much more to him if you had not been there to relax my wolf. Don't beat yourself up over this, I've been in jail before and I'm sure that I'll end up there again if your family tries anything."

He sat next to me and he was close enough that I could rest my head onto his shoulder. Knowing that he was not mad at me helped to ease some of my fears, but I was still nervous about meeting the Pack. "I understand that Bo, but I have a feeling that this will be a reason for the Pack to hold a grudge against me."

"They will love you because you are their Luna and all they need to know is that I was arrested defending you, which I would and will do over and over again in a heartbeat. Now, the party is starting, so we should get going." He placed a kiss to the top of my head and stood up, not even trying to cover himself as he dropped his towel and walked into his closet.

I watched as his perfectly molded body walked into the closet and out of my line of sight. "Maybe we should just stay here and keep each other company." I suggested as he walked back out wearing a pair of jeans that appeared to have been tailored to show off all of his muscular legs.

"If you keep looking at me with those bedroom eyes I am going to have to take you right here, but I will save that for later." His voice was low and I could feel myself getting turned on beyond words.

The power that my man had over me was incredible, and I loved every second of it. "Is that a promise?" I smirked back at him.

"It's a guarantee." He easily slipped a tight black v-neck t-shirt over his head and ran his fingers through his hair, leaving it to hang near his eyes. He slipped on a pair of socks and boots before standing up again from the chair he was sitting in near the closet.

I slipped my hand into his larger one and felt the familiar shocks course through me. The party was in full swing with laughs being heard everywhere. My eyes fell on Nell who was standing with a group of women, and when she saw me, she instantly excused herself and came running up to me.

"Hey Frankie, you look so cute in that skirt. I have a bunch of people I would like you to meet. Alpha, may I pull her away from you for a little while?" She pleaded to Bo with her hands in a praying position in front of her as she mouthed 'please' over and over again.

Bo laughed and released my had, which caused me to instantly feel cold. "Its fine Nell and don't worry Frankie, I will make sure I can see you no matter where you go here. But I need one thing first."
