Chapter 11

“Dammit, Jenny!”

“I’m sorry,” Jenny’s tone was anything but apologetic, “but if I’d known sooner, I’d have told Remy myself!” Her hands were shaking as she reached for a stethoscope before slamming it down on the stainless steel tray, spinning on Harlow. “I can’t believe you didn’t tell me! Do you know how damn incompetent this makes me look?”

Harlow rolled her eyes and slowly reclined on the table with a low moan. She knew the drill. “You’re pissed because I’ve been getting my ass kicked and it’s making you look bad?” She snorted, then winced at the pain the action caused.

“Damn it, Harlow!” Jenny stood over her, eyes shimmering. “I don’t give a damn what anyone thinks of me. I just can’t believe you wouldn’t come to me. I thought we’d become friends.”

“We had.” She sighed resignedly. “We are!”

“Friends don’t get the shit kicked out of them on a daily basis and not ask for help. I-I…” tears filled Jenny’s sad eyes, and Harlow suddenly felt guilty.

“Jen.” She grabbed the doctor’s hand. “You’re right. I’m sorry. I should have come to you, I should have…” she didn’t get to finish. The door suddenly crashed open, and a furious Viking stood seething in the doorway.

“What’s wrong?” He crossed to Jenny in an instant, pulling her into his arms.

Jenny sniffed and continued to eye Harlow accusingly. “One of the asshole trainees has been abusing Harlow.”

“Don’t!” Harlow shook her head as mortification seared her. Did doctor/patient confidentiality not exist at StoneCrow?

“Who?” Bishop demanded, cupping his Angel’s cheek.

Jenny turned her full attention on her Walker mate. “I don’t know, but he’s on the human team. Find him.” Her jaw clenched as she sucked back her tears and lifted her chin. “Hurt him!”

Bishop’s hands caressed his Angel’s face and he gently brushed his lips across hers before stalking from the room.

Anger lent strength as Harlow forced herself up off the table. “Why did you do that? You’re causing me more trouble! Do you know what he’ll do to retaliate?”

“Harlow, stop!”

“I can’t stay. I have to go stop Remy and that huge friggin’ guy you just sent out of here. By the way, nice respect of the Hippocratic oath there, Doc!” She was halfway to the door when she felt something pinch her shoulder. She turned quickly, but it was too late. The nurse, Stoney, stood frowning at Harlow with a syringe clamped in her fist.

“Christ, Stoney!” Jenny rushed to pull the syringe from the nurse’s grip, gaping at it before shocked eyes locked on Harlow. “She’ll be out all day!”

It was the only warning Harlow got before her legs melted like butter, and she slowly dropped to her knees as both Stoney and Jenny rushed her.

Harlow woke to the sound of raised voices.

“I warned you not to fuck with her!”

She recognized her brother’s enraged tone. After spending weeks with him, it was still difficult to think of Mason EnemyHunter as her family, her brother.

“I’m keeping her safe! Look at her!”

Remy? What were they fighting about?

“It’s the best way, Mason, and it’s the only way if you’re going to allow her to finish training.
