Selene followed the prince through the maze of tunnels, thinking that if an enemy did somehow manage to enter this place, he’d need a map and a tour guide to find his way out.

When they finally reached the infirmary, she was gratified to see Zan’s friends all gathered, waiting on word. She knew they were scared, but not as scared as she was. This was her mate in danger.

Spotting a doctor coming through some double doors toward her, she hurried to him.

“Please, I’m here to see Zander Cole. How is he?” she asked in a tremulous voice. The handsome doctor swung his steady gaze around and scrutinized her, his face softening in sympathy. Selene felt her heart lurch as he came to stand before her.

“Are you Selene Westfall?”

“Zan’s mate, yes,” she said. A shuffle of feet came from behind her, and she knew his team was listening. They wanted news just as badly. When the doctor spoke, he addressed her kindly, unruffled by the horde of shifters pressing close to listen.

“I’m Dr. Archer. Let’s take a seat, and we’ll start with the good news. Please,” he instructed gently, and waited for her to comply.

She did, afraid her trembling legs wouldn’t support her. It hadn’t escaped her notice how Dr. Archer had avoided her question, taking calm control like a man accustomed to dealing with the worst scenarios. Given that he had an entire coven of vampires to doctor, she was sure that was the case. The doctor positioned himself on one side of her, and Jax sat on the other. Nick hovered close by, his face set in hard lines.

“I’m pleased to report that tests reveal no massive internal bleeding or damage to his major organs. Of course, we will continue to monitor the slow internal bleeding in his brain.”

Hope surged within her, but the doctor’s reserve kept it in check. “What can I do to help him?”

“Remain by his side as much as you can, at least until he turns the corner. I’m sure our prince told you how highly we value the power of the mate bond in healing.”

“He did, yes. It makes sense.”

“There’s more you should know. Brain trauma is our most immediate concern. When he arrived here, he was in shock and suffering from seizures. To be honest, he gave us quite a scare. We ran a CT scan and took X-rays. The bleeds are here.” He touched a finger to a spot behind his right ear, toward the back of his head, and then at his temple. “There’s some swelling putting a bit of pressure on his brain, but he’s breathing on his own and is showing signs of normal brain activity. We’ll know more once he regains consciousness.”

“God.” She pressed a shaking hand to her mouth. Zan could have died. She’d known that, but now it was more real. Her entire body felt frozen. “How long until we know something? Until he shows improvement?”

“There’s no way to be sure. He’s holding his own, but I want him under close observation.
