Chapter Six

Nina’s eyes fluttered open. It was her bedroom, only different. The room was alive with detail. So much that she felt a bit overwhelmed with it all. Her heart pounded as she raised her head to look around.

“Nina! Oh thank god. You’re awake.”

She looked up into Lex’s concerned face. “What the…? What happened?”

He put a covered cup with a straw in Nina’s hands. “Here, drink this. I’m going to run into the hall and call the doctor. I’ll be right back.” Before she could question him again he dashed out.

Putting the straw in her mouth, she gagged as the taste hit her and set the cup down on the bedside table.

Lex yelled, “She’s conscious!” As he came back into the room, Nina heard the echo of pounding feet running up the stairs.

He gave her an annoyed look when he came back in and sat next to her on the bed.

“Why aren’t you drinking that?” he barked sharply at her, putting the cup back into her hands.

She snorted. “Why don’t you fuck off?”

“Ah, I see our girl is herself again,” Cade said as he entered the room. Nina felt a rush of relief come from him. Relief and affection.

A tall, dark-haired woman came in and closed the door behind herself.

“Okay, is someone going to tell me what the hell is going on or what?” Nina repeated, losing patience.

“Didn’t I just tell you to drink that?” Lex asked again.

“Didn’t I just tell you to fuck off? This stuff tastes like ass. I’m not drinking it.” She shoved the cup back at him but he refused to take it, his mouth set in a hard line.

“It’s nasty, but really high in protein. You’ll need it to help your body adjust.” The woman smiled. “I’m Dr. Molinari. Welcome to Cascadia, Nina.” She placed a satchel on the bed, pulled out a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff from it and moved to Nina’s side, shooing Lex out of the way.

“Adjust? Doctor? If someone doesn’t start explaining, I’m gonna get huffy.”

“Yes, and god knows that would be a change,” Lex said dryly from a safe distance.

At the same time, Nina could feel the cool metal of his terror, only just barely gone.

“What do you remember?” Dr. Molinari asked as she took Nina’s pulse.

“Uh, oh… I was jumped at the Pack house. I s-shot him. Jesus, I shot someone.” The unreality of the events in that living room rushed back through her. The horror.

Cade moved to her side and tipped her chin up. “You had no choice.”

“Did I kill him?” Nina whispered. Yes, she’d done it in self-defense, but she didn’t want to be a killer.

“No. But close. You emptied the clip but it was lead ammo and not silver. Carter was high in the Pack, he’s strong and has a great ability to heal.”

“Does that mean he’ll attack me again?”

“You won the challenge. Even though the challenge is to the death, he was so close that the governance council deemed it your victory.” Cade smiled.
