Denver waited until the news came back that Maizy had been admitted to a room in the intensive care unit. The doctors were going to monitor her closely and run more tests in the morning once they got her stabilized. Lynn still had on her slacks and dressy blouse, but she’d taken off her jewelry in preparation of staying the night. Maddox was the one who’d driven her to the hospital after she got the call. He stayed a short while but hadn’t felt there was anything he could do since the pack had come together. After midnight, he headed home.

Each of them received a visitor pass, and the pack branched apart to find a quiet spot to relax. When the staff initially denied the pack entrance, Austin made a call to the Council. Whether the Council had an insider working there or hired a Vampire to charm the humans was unknown, but they made it happen, and the pack was granted full access. They began visiting Maizy in groups of two.

Denver decided not to go in because of how altered their expressions were when they came out. He stood guard in the hall, compelled to make certain no one got near her room who didn’t belong to the pack or have on hospital clothes. Watchdog instinct was kicking into full gear.

After the pack had visited her and Lynn walked out with the nurse, Lexi reached through the door and yanked him inside. Denver flinched when he caught sight of all the tubes taped to Maizy’s mouth, and he backed away.

“Where are you going!” she hissed.

He shook his head. “I can’t look at her like that.”

Lexi gripped his wrist. “She needs you. I don’t have a whole lot of faith in all the meds they’re giving her, and this family has the best medicine that’s out there. Love, loyalty, and support.”

“I can’t do it,” he said, his voice broken as he shook his head. The enormity of the pain swelling in his chest was beyond comprehension, and the only way to stop it from overtaking him was to shut down.

Lexi rubbed her eyes, red from crying and dark circles forming beneath them. She had tried putting her hair into a sloppy ponytail, but strands of it were hanging askew. “Denver, if anyone can pull her through this, it’s you. She’s always had a special bond with you and…” Her voice broke and she cleared her throat, blowing out a heavy breath. “Maybe it’ll help. Maybe she’ll hear your voice in the darkness and fight harder.”

Denver pressed his lips into a mulish line.

“You’re so stubborn! Did you care about her when you acted as her watchdog, or were you just doing a job?”

“I did everything I could to protect her, but I can’t protect her from life! She’s the one who went away.”

“My mother sent her away! I wasn’t any more thrilled about it than you were, but we can’t go back in time and change things. I’m sorry if that cut your duties short, but dammit, you keep looking for someone to blame.
