The hospital, over the last few days, has been weird -- busy, then not -- but since Astro got out of surgery today, I haven’t left the alpha’s side. He’s recuperating, healing, spends a lot of time awake, probably wondering why the hell he earned the constant supervision of a random woman. If he thinks it’s odd though, he hasn’t mentioned it to me. He just texts his pack and seems to be unhappy about their responses, like an owner of a company who has to stay away from the office for a while.

At last, he yawns beside me and looks in my direction, setting his phone down. "So how did you learn about us?"

I startle. He's said very little to me since waking up, but he has a strangely nice voice, kind of like the neighborhood dad. I almost tell him Connor and Brad told me, but I'm worried that will get them in trouble, so I decide on a half-truth. "I've seen a lot of things in my life that could only be explained by the supernatural."

He nods. "Then, there must be something special about you. Most humans, even when seeing the impossible, tend to replace those memories with normal ones. It's the only way their minds can comprehend what they see."

I've never heard anything like that before. "What do you mean?"

He smiles kindly. "Like, they'll see a fairy moving through a garden, but then they'll replace the memory with that of a bee or a butterfly." He touches his chin, his brows drawing together. "But it's more like when you see someone hit by a car, and your gut says they're dead, but you go to them... and somehow, they're fine."

"So instead of it being a miracle... they're really supernatural?"

He laughs tiredly. "Maybe. But a supernatural could also use their powers to save them without anyone even realizing it."

Some distant memory tickles the back of my mind. "I swear I saw all kinds of things like that when I was a kid."

"So, you're special," he tells me with a smile.

I smile back, even though I'm pretty sure I was never special until I was a reaper, but he doesn't need to know that.

"Not that I don't appreciate the company, but will you be hanging out the whole time I'm in the ER?"

I frown. "Well, I have dinner plans with Connor soon, but I wasn't sure if we should leave you. It's obvious someone tried to kill you, but we aren't sure who."

Something strange comes over his face. "Well, we know some things. The wolf who attacked me was Riggs. My second-in-command."

I stare in confusion. “And that’s… allowed?”

He waves his hand away, as if waving away my words. "Pack members are allowed to challenge their alpha. He didn't do anything wrong. And if he had beat me, he would have been allowed to take my place as alpha of the pack. But, somehow, I still managed to kick his ass. What's more of the issue is why I didn't heal afterwards.
