CHAPTER 12

Kyle lifted the white wolf’s trembling body from the back of his van and carried her into med bay. The couple of minutes’ drive had given him the time to use the Alpha energy to cushion the direct link to her fear and pain, at least enough that he could function and respond as needed.

“No,” Gabi said, turning on the lights as he went to lay her on the first available bed, “put her in the isolation room.”

His wolf growled in opposition.

“You can’t hold her all night,” Gabi argued, on some level aware of his wolf’s sentiments. “It’s safer for everyone if she’s in there. Butch will see she gets the right sedative.” Gabi was right, again, but it grated on him. Silver-sickness made wolves crazy as it worked its way out of their system.

If it didn’t kill them first.

There was a sedative that helped some wolves, but not all, get through it. Under better circumstances, he’d stay in case it didn’t work, but it would sap his strength, even with the added Alpha energy. Everything had just gone to Hell in a handbasket, and he couldn’t afford to be weak. He carried the wolf into the room off to the left of the med bay, the room with no windows and one-foot-thick, magically reinforced walls; it was more prison than emergency ward. He laid her on the bed just as a commotion erupted in the med bay. With a last regretful glance at the suffering wolf, he exited, closing and locking the door behind himself.

“How far away is Jonathon?” Gabi’s words were quick and harsh. She and Alexander were bent over the still form of Sicarius on a gurney in the middle of the room. In the bright light of the medical suite, Kyle got his first good look at the man’s injuries. His face was bloodied and purple, his nose clearly broken, both eyes swollen shut. Blood trickled from his nose and mouth; his skin was developing a bluish tinge. Kyle could count at least three stab wounds to his chest and abdomen. If it wasn’t for the faint, occasional heartbeat that his Werewolf hearing detected, he’d have thought the man was already dead.

“At least ten minutes.” Tabari answered Gabi’s question. An engine sounded outside, the vehicle coming to a screeching halt. Seconds later Butch rushed into the room, with Ben close on his heels.

“Get to the house; take Lucy with you,” Kyle ordered Ben with a nod in the direction of the young Magus, who huddled in an out-of-the-way alcove, looking shaken. “Check on Breanna and Adriana, reassure them, tell them we’re just taking precautions. Then coordinate the team around the inside perimeter. Anything that gets past the Vampires dies. No questions.” If whoever this was knew about Flora, did they know about Breanna as well? The thought sent jagged icicles racing through his veins.

“Stay clear of hellpup,” Gabi warned as Ben saluted and steered Lucy towards the opposite door.

Alexander moved out of the way as Butch began dragging medical equipment closer, hooking Sicarius up to monitors and preparing an IV.
