CHAPTER 23

W e get back to the manor and all head for the kitchen, but I stop Cam in the hallway. “Do you not want to go upstairs and then we can fix you up with you lying on the bed?”

Cam smiles down at me, touching my cheek with his good hand. “No, babe, I’m fine getting sorted out in the kitchen unless told otherwise.”

I look at him for a moment. “It’s a pack thing, isn’t it? Something bad happens and you want to stay together.”

Cam nods. “Pack and family.”

I lean in and kiss his good cheek. “Okay,” I say, taking his good hand and walking into the kitchen with him.

Everyone is there, including two people I don’t know. They must be Elaine and the grumpy doctor.

Nora comes running over and flings herself into my arms. I drop Cam’s hand and pick her up, hugging her to me. She leans back and looks at Cam, tears in her eyes.

“Cam, the Doctor and Elaine are here to help you,” she says.

“So I see,” Cam says, smiling at her and touching her back.

“Come and sit down, Cam,” Emily says while pulling a chair out for him, looking at her youngest son in concern.

“Yes, hurry up,” the doctor says impatiently.

Cam walks to the chair and sits down with only a little groan.

I look at the doctor and see he appears to be in his thirties with short light brown hair and a medium build. I send my magic out to have a look at him and see what it can find. This is something I’m now learning to do when I want to know something.

I sit down near Cam with Nora sitting on my lap. No one is talking as we are all concerned about Cam and his injuries.

The doctor steps forward, snapping some gloves on. “I need to see how badly your arms and side are. We need to remove your shirt and look at some of the burns. It’s going to be painful.

I can’t have that; I can’t have my Cam in any more pain than he’s already in, so I think of his shirt vanishing without causing Cam any pain, and the next thing I know, the shirt has disappeared.

The doctor huffs. “Thanks,” he says.

Cam looks at me and smiles. “Thanks.”

“The burns aren’t as bad as I feared,” the doctor says after looking over Cam’s burned side. “You’re fortunate that these are second degree burns. I would recommend a warm compress without bursting the blisters, but I’m sure the witches here will have something to say about that.”

“We have balms that can help with burns,” Elaine tells him.

“Makes me wonder why this town even has a doctor,” the doctor replies, taking the gloves off.

“Because there are humans in this town that rely on human doctors,” Alfred tells him gently.

The doctor looks at Alfred. “Most of them don’t want to see me, either.”

“Maybe you should try smiling once in a while,” Alfred tells him.

“Smiling is overrated,” the doctor says, closing his bag.
