Jax was lifted in the air…by his throat. She glanced at the pistol Buck had jammed into the alien. Wolf wanted to tell him to shoot, but she couldn’t remember how to talk. She noticed the silence, but focused on clearing her mind. She knew she had to do something. The issue was that her mind was chaotic with thoughts. Slowly, her mind cleared. She was ready to grab one of her hidden blades, but then Isaac appeared. She glared lasers at the alien as Isaac spoke to them.
When the alien released Jax, her super reflexes kicked in. Before the alien fully let go of Jax, she caught him. Well, she caught him enough to help keep him standing up. The last thing she wanted was for him to get even more hurt by hitting the floor. Once she was sure he wouldn’t fall, she wrapped an arm around his waist. Her heart was pounding. Her face was blank, but fear made her feel cold. She thought it was fear that made her feel cold anyways.
“Are you okay?” she whispered, not really expecting an answer. She was aware the alien was after Grace. She even knew Isaac was fighting the trio now, but she was focused on Jax. Wolf was staring at him. She was scared he’d just drop dead. Wolf wanted to keep an eye on him to confirm he was alive. She only nodded when Isaac spoke.
“Let’s go Jax, we need to get you on the ship,” she said. Without a second though, she nudged Jax so he could walk to the ship. Wolf didn’t plan on leaving his side. Hell, she planned on leaving her arm around his waist until he sat or laid down. Thanks to him being the one who came closest to meeting death tonight, she’d be his shadow for the next few days. Wolf felt her anger rise at the thought, but she brushed it away. She had to make sure Jax was safe and well.
