When they touch me (Shelagh Milano) novel Chapter 8

“I- You- I have patients here.”

He watches me dumbfounded as if he wasn’t getting what I wanted to say.

“I can’t leave them here on their own. I’m their doctor and they trust me.” I gulp again, trying to get rid of the lump forming in my throat.

Goddess, why me?!

His eyes narrow at me as I push myself backward slightly. “Are you the only doctor in this pack?”

“No.” I shake my head and force myself to stay in my spot as I don’t want to anger him even more.

His smirk reappears and with a swift movement, he has reached me and throws me over his shoulder. “Then they will be cared for just fine.”

“What?! No! Let me down!” I trash in his arms but that doesn’t seem to bother him in the slightest.

“I told you to let me down! Now!” I can hear his chuckle vibrate through me while I continue to hit his stone-hard back.

“Hey! Let her down.” I recognize my brother’s voice as he must have stepped into my mate’s way.

“You can’t manhandle her like that. You won’t take her against her will.”

“Get out of my way. I won’t leave without my mate!” His amusement is strong in his speech as he repositions me on his shoulder effortlessly. “I don’t want to hurt you, Georgie. I’m sure your sister will be sad about that!”

What is it about them not being able to remember the simplest of names?!

I pound on his back, mewling. “Yes. I will hate you for life if you were to hurt my family.”

“Don’t make me then, sweetheart.” He growls.

I don’t like how he pronounces the pet name sarcastically, and I proceed to hit my knees against his chest.

Even if I don’t get him to budge, at least he is annoyed at me, as I can clearly make out by his groan.

“Listen. Put her down! You are just going to make it worse. Let’s talk it out. Let her get her things and come with you peacefully.”

The Hulk just scoffs, straightening his spine.
