Once Hamilton was awake and showered, he left Dallas’ bedroom and headed to the kitchen. It wasn’t that late—only ten A.M.—but he was used to waking up around this time, since he opened his shop just after lunch and stayed open until late at night. He hoped someone was there to help him get coffee because he didn’t like the idea of looking through the kitchen, not when he was a guest in the house.

Luckily for him, Zach was sitting at the table, reading a book. He looked up when Hamilton entered and smiled at him. “Coffee?”

Hamilton nodded. “Yes, please.”

Zach got up and filled a mug. He put it in front of Hamilton and gestured at the stove. “Do you want me to get something ready for you?”

“No, I’m fine with coffee, thanks.”

“Not a breakfast guy?”

“Nope. I’m not hungry in the morning, but wait a few hours and I’ll eat you out of the kitchen for lunch.”

Zach chuckled. “What will you do today? I can show you around, if you want.”

“I wouldn’t want to impose. Besides, Dallas left me a note and instructions on how to get to the infirmary. I thought I’d go see how he’s doing.”

“Oh, of course.”

“But I’ll probably take you up on that tomorrow. Thanks for the coffee.”

Zach waved. “You’re welcome, and I get it. You want to spend more time with your mate. Understandable. And since Dallas shouldn’t have patients just yet, I’m sure he’ll be happy to see you.”

Hamilton left the kitchen once he was done with his coffee. He and Zach had fallen silent, and it was a bit awkward. Hamilton didn’t know him or the pack, so there wasn’t much they could talk about, although Zach did ask about the tattoos that peeked from Hamilton’s collar.

Hamilton put his boots on, then his jacket, and opened the door. He was relieved to see it wasn’t snowing because Dallas’ note said he needed to go into the forest to find the infirmary, and the last thing he needed was to get lost in the woods while it snowed. Someone would probably find him sooner or later, but he might lose a toe or two to frostbite in the meantime.

It took only a few steps into the forest to feel alone, like the house he’d just left behind didn’t exist. The silence was astounding, the only thing making noise being Hamilton. He could hear the snow move under his soles as he walked, but that was all, and it was almost scary. Hamilton wouldn’t have gone into the woods alone in normal circumstances, but Zach had assured him nothing would hurt him, not as long as he stayed in pack territory.

He was lucky some of the trees held signs, because he’d really have gotten lost if they hadn’t. He followed the path, rounding a big tree, and froze.

He hadn’t known there were bears in Wyoming. He hadn’t thought to check, because what were the odds he’d meet a bear, especially after Zach
