His Secret Second Chapter 83: The Questions Not Asked
(Danny POV)Despite the ticking clock on the wall, time seemed to stand still.I listened in a haze as the doctors continued to speak. They gave us information about Beth’s tumor –including its size; its location; what parts of the brain it was pressing against—and talked about treatment options.They also talked about next steps. They said that we would most likely need to stop pursuing treatments aimed at curing Beth’s cancer, and move towards palliative treatment options that were focused on pain relief and quality of life.Most jarring of all, they said Beth likely had just one to two years left to live… as though her dying was no longer a remote possibility but a certainty.It was a harsh reality that I simply wasn’t willing to accept. So I asked questions. Lots of them. And no matter how many questions they answered, I kept asking more.I was looking for a loophole, a crack, something to prove this wasn’t real.How can you be so sure it is terminal? Can we operate again?
His Secret Second Chapter 82: Aftershocks & Karma
(Jenna POV)Mandy walked by me in tears as she left the waiting room.A part of me wanted to feel badly for her, but my blood was absolutely boiling.Yes, Mandy was young and she probably didn’t realize how grave a mistake she was making. But helping her patient fake a seizure and intentionally stealing a phone? Those weren’t mistakes any employee comes back from.Once she was gone, I walked into the waiting room.“You heard,” Danny said solemnly. I guess my feelings were written all over my face.“I heard.”“Jenna, I am so sorry. I had nothing to do with that. I ---”“I know. It’s not your fault.”His face softened. “Thank you for believing me.”I didn’t tell him that the only reason I believed him was because I heard it for myself.“What are you going to do about Beth?” I asked.His face looked conflicted as he dragged his hands down his face.“What do you think I should do?”“If she lied about this, what else has she lied about?”Danny slumped down into a chair and put his e
His Secret Second Chapter 81: The Setup
(Jenna POV)While Mandy was taking care of Beth, I called Danny. He picked up on the first ring. He sounded relieved to hear from me. Or at least he did, until I explained to him what was going on with Beth. At that point, he sounded confused and worried.I asked Danny to meet Beth at the hospital, and he agreed. Before we hung up, he sounded like he wanted to say something else to me, but I told him it wasn’t the appropriate time. He let it go.As soon as I ended the call with Danny, I turned my attention back to Beth. She’d stopped seizing, but her face was pale. She reached her hand out to me. I took it.“Did you call Danny?” she asked, her voice sounding very small.I nodded. “Yes. He’s going to meet you at the hospital.”“Thank you,” she whispered, visibly comforted. When the ambulance arrived, I tried to step back and out of the way. Beth wouldn’t let me. Instead, she held my hand tighter, insisting that I go with her to the hospital.I started to make an excuse —w
His Secret Second Chapter 80: Fragile Ground
(Jenna POV)I hadn’t seen Beth since the birthday gala, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when she invited me to lunch.Still, I had agreed. In many ways, she was just as much a victim in all of this as I was, and I wanted her to know that I didn’t blame her. (Yes, Willow still did… but I told Willow she had to play nice.)Beth picked a Japanese restaurant close to my condo. I thought it was a strange choice, given that Beth didn’t like sushi, but Beth explained that she had been craving their Yashioba stir fry noodles.When I arrived, the place was lively and full of werewolves. Still, Beth and her nurse stood out like sore thumbs. I took one look at Beth and felt confused. At the gala, Beth had been doing better. She was on the verge of completing her treatments, and Danny told me that she was “fine” or “better” whenever I asked him how she was doing.That was clearly not the case. She didn’t look terrible… just tired and frail. There were dark circles under her eyes, and she
His Secret Second Chapter 79: The Weight We Carry
(Danny POV)The guilt was rolling over me in waves.Given Kade’s face, it was rolling over him in waves too.How had we forgotten?How had Jenna been strong enough to carry the weight of that order all these months? It had been almost a year, which was practically unheard of.Had I really been so consumed by everything else that I’d forgotten? And not only forgotten, but forgotten for this long? I thought back to when the order was first imposed. I had only intended it to last until I got back from Vermont. Then Jenna and I would go to dinner, talk things out, and …Oh, Goddess.Oh, no.The second realization hit me.That night we got back. I planned to take Jenna on a special dinner date, but I allowed it to become a welcome dinner for Beth instead.At the border, Jenna had gotten out of the car. I had…Oh, Goddess. I had accused her of intentionally making a scene. I had yelled at her. I had left her on the side of the road.I still remembered the look on her face. The hur
His Secret Second Chapter 78: The Choice He Won't Make
(Danny POV)I caught my reflection in the mirror behind the bar.My eyes were red; my jaw was tight; my hair was overgrown; and I looked like I was one word away from shattering completely.Which meant that I looked better than I felt.Huh.I looked down at the whiskey glass in my hand. It was half-empty, but I didn’t remember drinking it. Nor did I remember drinking the other drinks that I had had so far this evening.It was a random Thursday. I should be at the duplex, helping Beth’s new nurse get settled and figure out things. Mandy was the sixth nurse we had hired since Jessica left, and we had high hopes that she would last a while. Goddess knows that we needed her to. Dr. Patel recently quit, and doctors were much harder to replace. We needed to spend our time focused on replacing him.Given my leave of absence, I had barely any work that I had to do for the pack. However, I had started to blow even that off. I had missed two meetings and blown off a trip Kade needed me
