Chapter Six

Takoda woke to find Daniel at his bedside. “Where are Enapay and Gray?”

Daniel turned off the television and squeezed Takoda’s hand. “They’re outside talking to Hakan.”

“About what?” Takoda asked.

“I’m not sure. When Hakan returned from Jack and Toby’s, Enapay and Gray asked to speak with him privately.”

Takoda released Daniel’s hand and rubbed his eyes. He couldn’t believe he’d been asleep so long. “Did you find Dr. Sparrol?”

Once again, Daniel squirmed. “Yeah. They’re holding him at Toby and Jack’s house until someone from the Department of the Interior comes to take him.”

“Because of what he did to me?” Takoda asked.

“You and all the others. Hakan and Ryker tracked him for several hours before they caught up with him. When faced with going up against Ryker in his grizzly bear skin, Sam broke down and told them everything.”

“Which is?”

Daniel started to open his mouth but snapped it shut. He seemed to war with himself for several moments. “I’m not really supposed to talk about it, but I think you should know he was working with the others they captured.”

“Those men who’re pretending to be shifter?”

Daniel nodded. “Two of them are like Sam.”

“You mean shifters who don’t shift?” Takoda knew he didn’t like Sam for a reason.

Daniel winced. “It’s not that they don’t shift, it’s that they can’t shift. Their parents de-nounced their abilities and chose to live as humans.”

Takoda couldn’t imagine someone throwing away such a sacred and beautiful gift. No wonder Sam and the others were screwed up. “Were Ryker and Hakan able to get out of Sam what was in the gas? Maybe that could be the reason I can’t shift.”

He used the handrails to pull himself to a sitting position. “Take me to them.”

Daniel shook his head. “You’re in no condition to go wandering around the halls. Besides, Enapay and Gray would not be happy about it.”

“Tough.” Takoda swung his legs over the side of the bed. “You go out and get some coffee if that’s what it takes to let you off the hook, but I need to see them.”

“I’ll go get them.” Daniel rose and squeezed Takoda’s hand. “Lie back down and take it easy or you’ll get me into trouble.”

Takoda eventually followed Daniel’s orders. Earlier, while unconscious, he’d felt Enapay and Gray with him. He still didn’t understand it, but since then, he needed both men near him.

The moment he’d opened his eyes after being given the shot by Gray, Takoda knew the two men had mated.

The realization that he’d officially been left behind hurt at first, but the love evident in Enapay and Gray’s eyes when they looked at each other quickly eased the ache in his chest. All he’d ever wanted for Enapay was happiness. If Gray was able to bring him that, then things had worked out for the best.

With one arm wrapped around Gray’s waist, Enapay began asking Hakan questions. “Did you know Gray and Takoda were my chosen mates?”

Hakan crossed his arms in front of his chest. Gray could see the defiant pose for what it was.
