Chapter Seven

“Talk to me. What do we know?”

Doc Davis shoved Magic out of the way to kneel next to Josie’s limp body.

Before he could answer, several sets of footsteps pounded down the hall, and Beth and Ryan skidded around the doorway.

“Josie,” she croaked, her eyes filling with tears.

“Shit,” Ryan hissed, both hands going to his head as he shuffled from foot to foot.

“She, she… she has seizures. She’s on medicine for it. But it hasn’t happened like this in a long time.” Bethany’s words were rushed with panic.

“How long?” Doc asked, digging in her bag.

“I don’t know for sure. Years, maybe? I don’t know.”

Josie’s head lay still as the lake in winter, cradled in Magic’s hands. He’d made room for Doc, but that was as far as he was going. He was confused as fuck, and his animal wasn’t helping clear things up at all. But he was going to take care of Josie. He was going to make sure she was all right.

“She’s lost consciousness,” Doc murmured, pulling her eyelids back and shining a light in them. “Pupils look good. What happened right before?”

Magic glanced at Bethany, and then back to Doc. “I told her about us.”

Doc frowned. “Us?”

“The clan. That we’re shifters.”

“Shit,” Ryan muttered, pacing in front of the door.

“You did what?” Bethany roared.

Magic glared at her. Now was not the time to throw a fit because he’d let Josie in on their secret.

“Clara let it slip. She thought Josie already knew. I just cleared it up for her, okay.”

Doc adjusted her stethoscope to listen to Josie’s chest.

“We need to get her to a hospital,” Ryan snapped.

Doc frowned, moving the flat part of the stethoscope over the thin fabric of Josie’s shirt. Her expression was pinched and she let out a growl of frustration. Pulling back, she grabbed the t-shirt by the collar, ripping it open to expose Josie’s chest.

Magic drew in a sharp breath. Some territorial instinct pulled at him, with her breasts out for all to see. He knew Doc only cared about helping her, but he wanted to preserve Josie’s dignity as much as possible. His gaze flew to Ryan.

“Turn away,” he growled.

The human’s brow furled. “What the fuck? You turn away.”

A threatening sound ripped from Magic’s throat, and Ryan’s eyes widened. “Stop looking at her.”

“Magic, your eyes,” Bethany said carefully.

His panther was close, and if that bastard Ryan didn’t look away soon, Magic was going to let it out.

“Look,” Doc snapped. “This isn’t helping. I need to be able to hear, so both of you, just shut the fuck up.”

“Ryan,” Bethany urged, and finally he turned.

Magic looked back to Josie. She was so still, but her chest rose and fell with breaths. She was just… sleeping. She’d be fine.

“I’m calling an ambulance,” Ryan murmured, stalking toward the phone on the night stand.

“Don’t.” Doc’s voice was sharp, as she pushed the earpieces farther into her ears to listen. It didn’t make sense. Doc had shifter abilities, she shouldn’t even need the stethoscope to hear Josie’s human heart.
