CHAPTER NINE

Loren and Kohl flanked her on either side of the hospital bed, hulking over her like two Neanderthals. From beneath hooded eyes, she watched her men. Smoke still clung to their clothes and bits and pieces of ash were still in their hair. Black soot streaked across their cheeks from their failed attempt to wash it off.

The ER doctors had been wonderful to her, but she didn’t understand why they wanted to keep her overnight for a few scratches on her leg and a bump on the head when she felt fine, just exhausted by the crazy shit she’d just gone through. What normal person wouldn’t be? Shifter or human.

“Did they give any indication of why she needs to stay?” Lorne asked Kohl, who answered with a shrug. “Not a clue.”

“While you guys were out, the nurse said the doctor would be in shortly to talk to me.” Cherry pushed up on the bed and cringed from the bruises and aches in her muscles. Oh yeah, come morning those puppies would be black and blue and she wouldn’t be surprised if her legs refused to move.

“Hey, baby. Are you okay?” The right side of her bed dipped as Kohl eased down. “Do you want us to bring your computer? How about your phone? Or you could just use the hospital phone.”

She must have looked confused because Kohl pointed at the phone and added, “Your sister. She’ll want to know you are all right.”

Right. She smiled to comfort him and ease the tension from his face. She knew he and Lorne only worried about her. “Kohl, I’m fine. My phone would be nice, though. Thank you. Sabine is probably worried sick and wondering why I didn’t make my flight.”

“You didn’t call her and tell her?”

“I was slung over someone’s shoulder and didn’t get the chance. Remember.” She arched a brow at Lorne, who sheepishly gave a half tilt to his lips. “Yeah. Gotcha.”

“You sure you’re okay? Does anything hurt or feel wrong?” Kohl ran his hands up and down her arms before he moved to her midsection and then her legs, inspecting every inch of her for his own satisfaction, she mused.

“Yeah, just a little tired after all the fuss and the adrenaline crash gave a slight headache. But you guys,” she trailed a hand up their arms, “I saw the blood. I know I hit my head, but there was so much of it.”

“We heal fast, something all shifters do,” Lorne reassured her.

She shot up. “Rone, the others? Are they okay?” It all came crashing back. So much death. She swiped at the dampness on her lashes. “They were only following their leader.” She looked between them.

“Shhh… take it easy. You took a nasty fall and a bump like that to your head… you’ll be seeing stars for hours if you move too fast.” Lorne pressed a hand on her shoulder, adding in a quieter voice, “He was mad, Cherry. Reaper’s father was driven by false pride, rage and jealousy, and any number of other things really.
