“He is so… careful.”

Raymond hid his smile behind his wine glass as he watched the contemplative look on Zaya's face.

“He found a job at a restaurant just outside my college, and he wouldn't stop getting me food and making sure I don't skip meals or tire myself out.”

She nibbled unconsciously on the cracker in her hand and continued, “He works so hard and attends night classes too, yet I am the one he worries about.”

She rolled her eyes and faced Raymond. “Do you know he wouldn't stop saying sorry for coming onto me like that during the mate heat until I threatened not to talk to him again?”

“Huh huh?” Raymond said in a low tone that might not jar Zaya out of her train of thoughts.

It had taken some doing to get her to start talking.

Raymond knew if he said anything to show that he noticed the dreamy look on her face or the slight smile curving her lips, that would be the end of it.

“Like, I mean…” She turned to him fully, with animated energy. “He didn't have to do all this, yeah? I

    “What the…?!”Another ping resounded in the car, cutting Raymond’s exclamation short.“Do as I say, or your little bitch queen will be getting this next!”The warning text looked like dynamite on Raymond’s phone.Aeth was so furious that Raymond could feel him pressing against the surface.Confusion mingled with fury in a messy tango in his thumping heart.The clip looked so real. So convincing, yet he knew he would never betray Athena like that.“What the fuck happened?!” Raymond wondered as his fingers scraped through his scalp in a punishing grip.He sent the number immediately to his partner, with the command, “Find the bastard now!”Then he responded to the threat, “Who the fuck are you? Stop being a fucking coward and show your face. What do you want?!”Raymond’s breath sounded ragged and harsh in his ears as Athena’s face popped up repeatedly in his mind while he waited for a response.“Our mate wouldn’t take this well at all. What have you done, Raymond?” Aeth suddenly spoke a

    Knowing this wasn’t the right time to tell her they had done something else too, he hastily said, “Whatever it is, we will find out who the hell is behind it, and deal with them together, baby. Listen to the healer. You really shouldn’t worry about anything. I will be there soon enough, and I will take care of…”A door opened and closed on Athena’s end, and Larissa’s voice followed immediately. “Your Majesty, I have the… oh, I am so sorry. Didn’t know you are on a call.”“It’s fine,” Athena said with a smile and looked back at the screen. “Larissa is back with the medication.”“Alright, baby. Let me hang up then. I will be there soon, and we can talk about all this, okay?”Athena nodded with a smile. “Can’t wait. Love you.”“Love you too, baby.” Raymond’s hands tightened against the wheel, eyes glistening. “I will be there before you miss me too much.”Athena’s smile widened as she nodded, and the call disconnected.“Fuck!” Raymond punched the wheel so hard that his fingers tingled.“

    “I swear I can’t remember, alpha,” Cassio responded, shame-faced.“I can’t remember, alpha. One moment we were working, then… I woke up in this bed,” another of the construction workers said in confusion as he looked around the sterile clinic.Though none of the others woke up violent like Sean, they had all had the same response to his answers.They can’t remember the attacks. No remembrance of any shadows or any scent.After he had calmed down, even Shawn didn’t seem to remember all the things he had said about shadows when he was hysterical.Raymond calmly bade them goodbye after ordering them to stay put, and ensure they were taken care of, until the doctors gave them the clean bill to leave.His unhurried walk out of the clinic didn’t betray his inner turmoil.He got outside and slammed his fist against the wall, the paint chipping off against his bloodied knuckles.“I want those bastards found,” he commanded Justin. “This is becoming a sickening pattern. Search well beyond the p

    The echoes reached Raymond long before he reached the clinic.Carmen met him on the steps just as others greeted him reverently.For one who always looked calm in most situations, Carmen looked frazzled at the moment.Her coat was stained with blood and the hair she had packed into a bun was currently trying to escape its hold.She did not seem to notice though as she looked at Raymond with anxiety in her brown eyes.“Alpha, we had to restrain him,” she said breathlessly.Raymond nodded briefly and entered while others followed him.He did not need to ask where the man was, as his guttural yell was enough for all to know where he was.When Raymond opened the door, the man tried to lunge off the bed as it triggered.The bed groaned as the iron chain held him in place.“We had to clear out this room so as not to stimulate the other patients, alpha.”Raymond barely paid attention to the statement behind him as he could see the reason already.Scuffed marks in the tiles.The bed slightly

    “What do you mean you did not see anyone?!” Raymond snarled.“I am sorry, Alpha. We just… it was so fast that… I am sorry, Alpha,” Roy, head of the pack guards, finished guiltily in the face of Raymond's glower.Then he lowered his head contritely.“How are they doing now?” Raymond asked Carmen through the mindlink.“We are currently getting the wolfsbane out of their system, Alpha. Once it's totally out of their bodies, their chances will be better,” Carmen's voice came thready through the mindlink.Which meant they were still critical.Carmen had her soothing doctor's voice on for sure, and the implication of that made guilt ripple through Raymond in punishing waves.He couldn't blame Roy too much, because he had barely felt it too.His eyes clouded with anger as he looked over the construction site.Building materials were strewn on the ground. A cement pan half turned. A ladder split into two from the impact of something striking it.The whole site was in chaos, and spots of blood

    Athena was having a report meeting with Lorraine and the soldiers the next day when the pain started.It started building low in her spine before wrapping around her lower abdomen in a sharp tug.She sucked in a sharp breath and held on to the edge of the table, holding back the tears that wanted to spring to her eyes.“My queen?” Lorraine called in question through their mindlink.Athena realised she had closed her eyes as she tried to hold on to the pain.She looked up to see the soldiers looking at her with concern, confusion on their faces as they took in her suddenly pale face.“Let's continue this later,” she managed to grit out, hating how thin her voice sounded.“Let's go,” Lorraine immediately ushered everyone out as they bowed and left.She shut the door behind them and turned in concern towards Athena.“Get Larissa,” Athena breathed before she lowered herself gingerly into her chair.Something was wrong.The pain was steadily spreading through her system now that she could
