Chapter Nineteen

As though I’d absorbed some of his vitality, by the time Jared carried me back to town, I was mostly healed from my encounter with the exsoloup. Jared, though, was flagging. He’d taken a bit of that scream, and even though he’d been farther away and had shifted for a while afterward, he was going to be affected.

He carried me into the tiny clinic, and when he lowered me to one of the three beds, I saw that Dr. Hayes and his nurse were already there. They must have been in town when we left, because I didn’t see how they could have arrived from the city that quickly.

Almost unthinkingly, I caught Jared’s hand after he’d placed me on the bed and then straightened. “Thank you,” I murmured.

He stared down at me, a look of frustration in his eyes. He ran his thumb across my palm and my entire body tingled even as his touch awakened my wolf. “When this is over,” he told me, his voice low, “and I have time to devote to you, I will free your wolf, Kait. You’re going to need all of my attention when the time comes—with the next full moon.”

I nodded. “October thirty-first.” And I shivered with an excitement I could not control. Soon. Soon I would be free.

Then the doctor and nurse hurried to my bedside and he kept my stare for a few seconds more before he turned to slip behind the privacy curtain that was pulled around the bed next to mine.

For a second, I got a glimpse of the person in that bed.

Lennon lay there, her already pale skin white and bloodless, her body completely still. She didn’t look like the warm woman she’d been earlier. She looked like a piece of plastic. Then the curtain settled into place, obscuring both her and the alpha from my view.

“Will she be all right?” I asked the doctor, keeping my voice low.

He refused to say. “How are you feeling, Ms. Silver?”

Jared left Lennon’s bedside and strode away without a word, and as soon as he was gone, I sat up. I was sure he’d shift as soon as he was outside, which would hopefully finish healing him.

“I’ll be all right,” I told Dr. Hayes. “I didn’t get a huge hit. My body and mind were just shocked for a while.” I sat up and swung my legs over the bed, and neither he nor Belinda tried to stop me. The injured warriors were starting to trickle in, and they were going to need the bed and the attention.

I needed to go back to the woods to find my lost blade, but those woods were crawling with wolves, and probably the alpha, and I was damn tired. And though I felt much improved, I wasn’t sure I was up for the long jog back to the woods or a search that could take hours.

Tonight, I would go home and recover from the exsoloup’s attack. I needed fuel and sleep, in that order.
