Chapter Five

Morning dew still sparkled like tiny diamonds on the grass as Trina finally crept out of her cabin-slash-clinic, even though a few hours had passed since Warren had caught her making out with her newest patient. She smiled as she brushed her fingertips across her bruised lips. She hadn’t even thought to ask his name until after Warren had left. Maxwell Kincaid. Just thinking his name made her body flush with happiness.

Honestly, she was still in shock over the previous twelve hours. It didn’t seem possible her life could change so quickly and in such a dramatic way. More than once throughout the night, she’d gone so far as to pinch herself—really, really hard—just to make sure she wasn’t deep in the most vivid and wonderful dream.

Not a dream. If her pinches hadn’t convinced her of that, the man’s hard need pressed against the inside of her thigh would have done it. He was real. And he was really injured.

But, as was often the case with wolves, he was healing quickly. His vitals were good and he was very stable—at least medically. Mentally…

Trina had to wonder if his overprotectiveness of her had more to do with his lone wolf status than the connection between them. Without the structure, hierarchy, community, discipline, and sense of accountability that an organized pack could offer, a lone wolf generally had a hard time maintaining their sanity. And from what Trina could recall, the longer a lone wolf spent in isolation, without a community to rally around him, the farther down the rabbit hole of ferality and risk-seeking behavior that wolf would fall. A wolf was never as strong alone as it would be with a mate and a pack. She wondered grimly how long Max had been on his own.

He hadn’t spoken much, but his earlier friskiness was a clear indicator he almost certainly wouldn’t die in his sleep while she snuck out to have a much-needed chat with her alpha. It was the first chance she’d had because every time she’d mentioned it, he growled softly. “Your place is beside me and vice versa. He can wait.”

Once he’d finally conked out for good, Trina had slipped out of his arms and headed straight for the pack house. When Warren had stopped by a second time to drop off some clothes for the strange patient, he’d told her Zeke would be working from his home office that day, which saved her a drive all the way into Tremble. She wouldn’t have been comfortable leaving Max alone for that long, despite his progress. Besides, her wolf would have howled its head off at their separation. Even the short distance between her cabin and the pack house was almost more than the beast could handle.

Her skin itched and her heart raced from nerves at what she was about to propose. Asking Zeke to allow her to not only continue treating and caring for the lone wolf who’d been plaguing him for weeks, but to also accept the wolf into the pack as one of their own? Yeah, that would be a tough sell.
