Marco was still glowing with pride about his name being used with the newborn baby. How cool was that? It was like nothing he had ever felt before. He sure hoped the father kept his word and brought Tiny to see them.

But until then, he was lying here waiting on Bryson to take all of his stitches out. It hurt like a bitch, and the man had no meds. Marco never hid the fact that he wasn’t as strong as most leopards. That didn’t mean he liked being weaker. It had always made him a target for the bullies while growing up. If it hadn’t been for Remus, he would have taken a lot more ass kickings than he had already suffered through.

And leopards were notorious for picking on the weak. They were vicious and cruel, caring for no one but themselves. There were a few exceptions, like Sasha and Remus. They were the rare ones who actually gave a fuck.

That was part of the reason he had fallen in love with Remus. The leopard was not only there to chase away the bullies, but he was also there just to hang out. Marco could be himself around Remus and the changeling had never looked at him any differently.

“That hurt,” Marco complained when Bryson pulled at a stitch in his thigh. God, it felt like the man was pulling nerve endings out through his skin. Marco wasn’t used to dealing with things on a human level.

It plain old sucked not to be able to shift and heal. He missed his leopard. Marco wasn’t going to piss and moan about it. He was going to find a way to either fix it or deal with the loss. He had learned from almost dying that life was way too short to complain about.

“I’m trying to be gentle,” Bryson said. “I just don’t have the right equipment with me.”

“To take out stitches?” Marco asked as his brows dropped down over his eyes. “Give me some damn pliers and I’ll do it.”

“I don’t think so,” Bryson said. “You are liable to cause more harm than good with a pair of pliers.”

“Stop whining,” Remus said in a teasing manner. “They’re coming out, not going in.”

Marco had such a dirty mind. Remus was talking about stitches. So why did it sound so naughty to him?

“Can you wait until I’m finished before you two go hot and heavy at it?” Bryson said as he plucked at Marco’s skin. “It’s getting impossible to breathe in here.”

Marco could feel his face heating with embarrassment, so he hid it in the folds of his arms he was lying on. He could hear Remus’s chuckling. Marco wished he was alone with his mate. They would be joining Rick’s group shortly, and there would hardly be any privacy.

“How many people are with Rick?” Marco asked as he turned his head back around.

“Too many,” Bryson replied. “He has his own group. I think there are about twelve people. Then there is Clyde’s group.
