Hearing her yelp, gave Jake satisfaction to know that he'd scared her. After all, she'd scared him by leaving without asking or even leaving a note to say where she'd be or when she'd be back. He was also pleased to see that her claws had come out. She'd be able to protect herself for a time, though unless she accepted what she was and trained to fight that way, she'd never survive long... especially if she became a lone wolf in whoever's territory her father lived in.
"My problem? My problem? No, Abbey. What the hell is your problem?" Pulling the towel free of her hands, he wasn't going to allow her or himself to be distracted by a piece of cotton until after they'd had their words out. Right now he was too furious to even notice her naked body, though in reality he was aware of it and his attraction to her.
"All these goddamned wolves? All these goddamned wolves would risk their lives for you, to protect you and keep you safe. Every. Last. One. Of. Them. Because that's what packs do. That's what my pack does. We protect our own no matter the cost. We also keep each other informed of our whereabouts one way or another. So imagine my surprise when I came home early, to be with you I might add, and find not you here and only a trace of your scent on our land."
Moving his body to stop her from getting out of the shower, he climbed in and shut the curtain. Jake reached around her warm, wet body and turned the water back on. It was time for her punishment. She didn't want to be subservient to him and to a degree, he'd allowed that. However, now she was going to serve him.
