Page 74 of Charmed By Apollo

Apollo slipped his hand through hers, and the warmth of his emotions warded away the chill from her bones. “Don’t worry, baby,” he said. “I won’t let anyone hurt you or your pack.”

Turning to him, she gazed up into his blue eyes. She didn’t need the mate bond to tell her he was telling the truth and meant to keep that promise. “We won’t let anything happen to our pack,” she reminded him.

His mouth widened into a smile. “Our pack.”

“There is one problem, though,” she said, biting her lower lip. “Assuming we can still have the ceremony after this, I’ll have to stay in Olympus for a year. How will we protect them?”

“We’ll find a way,” he said, confident. “And we’ll still have the ceremony.”

And because he said it, she knew it was true. “Let’s help my brother get cleaned up,” she said. “We have work to do.”

The End.
