CHAPTER NINE

Emma had been in and out of consciousness for almost a week. During the first night, she’d screamed until they’d finally relented and moved Andrew into her room. At the touch of his hand to hers she immediately quieted. They’d remained in constant contact for the next forty-eight hours, until he’d been pronounced well enough to be discharged.

It was no surprise when Aidan, Pearce, Rian, and Kellan showed up with silver cuffs to take him back to his prison. They had made no secret of the fact that they didn’t trust him and did not want him uncontained before the Blessing ceremony. He smiled; thinking how lucky they were that Emma was still unconscious and even chuckled when he realized Aaron had not come along for his arrest.

My mate kicked my big brother’s ass. This is better than reality TV.

Not wanting to wake Emma now that she was finally resting comfortably, Andrew quietly dressed and let the Guardsmen cuff his hands behind his back before leading him out of the room. The group made it as far as the door before Emma began to call his name. By the third utterance she was beginning to thrash her head side to side.

Siobhan ran into the room, took one look at Andrew in irons, and frowned. “What do you think you are doing?”

It was Rian that answered. “What we should to keep the clan safe. He won’t be harmed, merely detained where we can keep an eye on him.”

The entire time the Guardsman had been talking, Emma had been steadily calling for Andrew, while getting louder and louder. Siobhan looked at her patient and then back to Rian, a look of pure disgust on her face. “Either you take those filthy chains off him, which by the way are burning his skin after I spent much of my time and talent returning him to good health, or I will have to call Carrick. You may be a Head Elder, Rian O’Rielly, but not here. This is not your call.”

She turned to Aidan, who until that moment had been successful at remaining unnoticed. “And you, Aidan O’Brien, his brother. Letting them lead him off to prison when his mate needs him. What would you do if it was Grace in that bed?”

Aidan didn’t answer but had the decency to bow his head. Focusing again on Rian, Siobhan asked, “So what will it be Rian? Are you going to let Emma get to a full blown tantrum and possibly hurt herself, or are you going to let her mate comfort her?”

The Healer’s words could barely be heard over Emma’s shouting, but Siobhan’s smile spoke volumes as Rian unlocked the cuffs and left the room without another word, the other Guardsmen not far behind. Not willing to let his mate suffer a second longer, Andrew crawled into the bed with Emma, pulled her across his chest, and held her tight while she settled.

Siobhan stood at the end of her bed making notes on Emma’s chart.
