Chapter Six

Jacob Sager, a private shifter doctor, walked out of the bedroom, putting his equipment back into the black bag he carried. He was a middle aged man, newly mated and trusted by a lot of shifters to do his job and keep his mouth shut—one of the reasons why Drake liked him.

“I’ve given her a shot, a large dose of antibiotics. She’s pretty sick, but I’m thinking it’s caused by stress and lack of nutrition. She’s underweight and exhausted. She also still has a high fever, so you’re going to need to keep an eye on that. Once she loses the chills, she’ll start burning from the inside out. Try to keep her cool and give her the medicine I’m leaving. Also, try to get some broth down her. As much liquids as you can.”

Drake rubbed the back of his neck. He was tired as well, but his mate came first. “How underweight would you say?”

Sager shook his head. “Not sure. I do know she’s way too thin for a female, and I’m afraid her cycle is closer than what is normal. It should be hitting in about a couple days, but the first stage of it is happening now. But don’t worry,” he held his hand up before Drake could speak. “She’s too sick for her body to do the demands.” He took a deep breath, and frowned. “Drake you do know that Millard has the word out for her. He’s hunting for his daughter.’

“I can trust you won’t tell him she’s here either.” Drake narrowed his eyes on the man, bracing himself for a fight.

“Not my place, and I don’t tell about my patents either, but I do want you to know the word is out. I’d be careful right now with who you let know she’s here.”

Drake crossed his arms over his chest, “Have you heard anything about this hunter?”

Sager shook his head, “But I have heard that Millard is calling another meeting. Something about the last one was interrupted.”

“Thanks, doc.” Drake put his hand on the man’s shoulder.

“You take care of that girl and get some meat on her bones. I’ll come back after the moon night to check on her.”

Drake nodded and walked the doctor out. After he closed the door, he turned and went to the livening room to make a call. “Dad, it’s me. What’s going on?”

“Drake, kind of late to be calling.” Allen Draeger sighed on the other end of the phone. True it was late or very early in the morning to be calling, depending on how you wanted to look at it.

“I just heard Millard is having another meeting,” Drake went on. “I’m coming. What time is it and where.”

Allen’s sigh went deeper, “It’s not a good idea for you to be there, Drake. If he suspects you have his daughter he could challenge the claim.”

“He can’t challenge what’s already happened. She’s mine, Dad. The claim has been made. She has my mark.”

Allen groaned, the sound meaning he was getting out of bed or sitting up.
