Adam POV I watch for Jenna to arrive back to the Pack house. She was not too late and there was still time to make the announcement. As I saw her pull into her parking spot, I see her jump out of her car and grab her shopping bags. I see her bounce up the stairs with a big smile on her lips. She walks into the front door, and I step around the door to welcome her. Because she is not expecting me, she jumps back, to which I laugh. She growls at me for startling her and proceeds to carry on into the Pack house. “Where have you been, my lovely mate?” I ask her. She looks at me suspiciously. She clearly has not forgiven and forgotten last evening, but I would not let that deter me from trying to turn things around. “Just shopping. You know us spoiled, rich girls,” she says as she turns to continue across the front hall and turning up the stairs. “Hold up, aren’t you hungry after all that shopping?” I ask her. If she wasn’t going to fess u
Jenna POV As soon as we were free of wandering eyes, I tugged my hand from Adam’s grip. He tried to hang on, but I tugged until he sighed and let go. We reached the top of the stairs and I turned towards my room. Adam asks, “Don’t you want your shopping bags?”. I cringe at his voice, realizing he had said he had it in his room. Turning I slowly walk back towards him as he turns to go into his room. I had only been in here once and it had stunk of Wendy. As I walk through the door to quickly grab my bags, I only smell Adam. It smells fresh like fresh linens combined with Adam’s scent of pine and vanilla. I was still in a rush to leave, when he moves forward passing me the bag and letting his hand linger on mine. “What game are you playing?” I ask him. “What do you mean what game?” he asks letting his hand drop. “We don’t like each other, remember? So why are you putting on a show when nobody is here?” I demand. “Maybe I am willing to ad
Adam POV Sitting in the chair waiting for Jenna, I look up to see tears in Jenna’s eyes. Standing, I move forward to her and take her into my arms. She goes easily and I hold her tightly as she just leans on me. I heard a lot of what was happening in the room. I heard the strength in Jenna’s voice as she talked the she-wolf through what sounded like a challenging deliver. Let’s be real. Delivering babies was not for the faint of heart, which is why men weren’t the ones to do it. I couldn’t believe how proud I was of her. This young woman, my mate, delivered a healthy pup just minutes ago. She released me wiping her eyes. “Sorry, I just find birth such a miracle,” she murmurs as she moves away from me. I had never thought of it before, but hearing it from the outside of the room, it was an amazing event. Looking at her watch, Jenna sighs. “Why don’t you head back to the Pack house and get some rest?” I say to her. “Yes, I will. I have
Jenna POV I had finished with the warrior quickly. I did have to clean out some infection before I was able to stitch him up. Left for a couple hours and I don’t know that antibiotics would have been enough to heal him. Looking at my watch, I realize I have just enough time to grab my things and rush to the hospital for my next shift. I was exhausted but this was often the life of a doctor – rushing from emergency to emergency. I felt a twang of concern leaving the Pack without a doctor; however, I had to get moving to look after my patients today. I was most interested in the results for Jessica on the toxicology reports. Running up the stairs, I get to my room and leave the door open as I run to grab my backpack. Fortunately, I had packed it last night, so I didn’t waste any time getting ready other than throwing on an outfit and I turned to leave. I walk out my door to Adam coming up the stairs. He looks equally exhausted at the evenin
Adam POV I had woken up early afternoon, feeling guilty for my last words to Jenna. I had no right to question her commitment after she spent the night looking after my Pack members. Particularly when our own Pack doctor had frigged off. He was next on my list of duties, after I checked in with Sam and Jack. Grabbing a quick shower, I throw on jeans and a black t-shirt. I had no meetings today, so it wasn’t necessary to be dressed for business. I make my way down to the dining hall to grab a coffee. I was late for lunch, and I would not expect my Omegas to prepare something for me, even though they had offered. Coffee would suffice until supper. Mind-linking Sam and Jack to meet me in my office, I started to walk out of the dining hall when I saw Wendy waiting in the lobby. “What the hell are you doing here?” I ask Wendy. She knew she wasn’t permitted in the Pack house as part of her punishment. I had moved her to the Omegas lodging after
Adam POV I walked back out of the cells and made my way to the Pack house. I walked around to the front and was surprised to see Jenna’s car in the parking lot. I was more surprised to see her sitting in her car staring straight ahead. She looked lost. I walked over to her car and opened her car door. I bent down trying to ask her what was wrong, but she would not reply to me. She didn’t even look at me. I took her arm, which startled her into awareness. I gently pulled her out of the car, helping her to stand when she seemed shaky on her feet. I noticed her purse and bag across the seat, so I leaned Jenna against the car while I reached across and got her stuff before standing and softly closing the door. I took her elbow and started to walk her across the parking lot toward the Pack house. Sam walked out looking at me concerned. I shook my head indicating I didn’t know what was going on. I continued to walk forward, and Sam held the
Adam POV I made my way back to Jenna’s room to retrieve her cell phone. I looked around her room but didn’t see it. It must be in her backpack. I move over to open it and notice a funny smell associated with the bag. Almost like it is a clinical smell. Similar to the smells at the Pack hospital. Opening the bag I see a used pair of scrubs, which I toss into her laundry basket. Rooting through I still don’t see her phone. Realizing I had missed her purse, I look around and spot it on the table beside her bed. Opening that I root around. Man how do women find anything in these satchels, I wonder to myself. I finally find her phone when I also find stuck to it an identification card. Doctor Jenna Frasier, from a hospital about an hour or so away from the Pack. What the hell did she have this for? Who is this woman? She’s supposed to be a spoiled rich girl. Does she volunteer at the hospital and is faking being a doctor? I have no idea, but I know
Jenna POV Looking at my identification badge, I realize Adam is aware that my fake shopping trips and being self-centred may not entirely be accurate. I was shocked he had my name badge at first but then I realized of course he would have come across it when he was looking for my phone. I pick up my phone and put a call into my parents. Not reaching them I leave a message for them to call me back. However, as I leave the message, I realize what I have to do. I need to come clean. If rogues are attacking the Red Pine Pack because of me, then Adam needs to know why and how to counter the attacks. I sit for a while by myself focusing on my healing. I feel more in control now, realizing that the infection was quite serious as I couldn’t heal it myself. It reminds me of my limitations, which takes me back to Jessica and my limitations in helping her. Yes, we found out what was wrong; unfortunately, it was not soon enough to save her.
