God ,she was a beautiful maid, beautiful and exasperating.
But Laura was right, the woman had just come out of surgery, was pumped full of drugs and could barely keep her eyes open.Still, she could manage to give a pitiful laugh at Dustin's expense.Dustin gripped the bed railings tighter, then let go of it and walked out of the room. He saw his uncle interrogating some others, he signaled to speak to him."Yes, Dustin, what's the matter?""Search Asta's room. She must have been staying at the Morgans B&B because she was walking in that direction when the gunman shot at her. She said she got a letter from her sister, please search her room, find the letter she got from Akila and please bring it to me.Pack laws ruled and no search warrants were required to search her room."Also, pack up her things, She will be staying with me when she leaves the hospital. And I also need you to p. . Hell, let's just goDustin shook his head. "She said she didn't know where he was." Her tone sounded so tearful that he believed her. "I bet that piece of fur we found in the woods belonged to this guy. He's probably hanging out near the hospital, somewhere out of sight.Dustin put the key in the lock to open the door, just then they heard a window open inside."Someone is inside." He quickly turned the door lock and pushed the door but something was blocking the door from behind, his blood suddenly became hot, adrenaline rushed."Let's go round the back he shouted."They rushed down the hall, and Mrs Morgan who was on the way quickly rushed aside, knocking over the pitcher of water. Dustin and his uncle rushed into the kitchen and slammed the back door behind them. They opened the back door and were now outside the building.There was no sign of the intruder, but footprints had been left on the manicured lawn in the forest,
Dustin stared at Akila, his brown eyes filled with anger.She closed her eyes, unable to keep them open any longer. They burned with her skin, and the fever pounded hard in her head, like the time when she went to a human rock concert—too loud for the sensitive ears of a lupus werewolf.An hour later, she woke up to a rustling sound of Dustin going through her purse.Lipstick, hairbrush, wallet full of cash, no credit card, no driver's licence, no name.She could have told him.He gaze met with her's, he threw the bag on the table, frowned, but didn't bother to ask her any questions. A man of his word. Good qualities of a pack leader.She must have fallen asleep again because his muffled voice woke her up while he was talking to the deputy chief in the hallway. She smelled strong coffee, and then it was all gone.Until someone screamed, something fell to the ground, and a string of curses ensued.Akila's eyes
Dustin HOVERED OVER Akila while simultaneously REACHING FOR THE NURSE'S CALL BUTTON and having one of his hands on hers. Despite the fact that the pain was so intense, she decided against taking any more pain medication and made her felt like a zombie. This was the case despite the fact that the pain was felt by every nerve ending in her body. Nurse As soon as Jessica entered the room, she cast a curious look in both directions, first at Akila and then at Dustin. Dustin remarked that it sounded like the woman was in a lot of pain. “No.” Akila gave a slight nod of her head. "I can manage." There is no point in continuing to put up with it. Nurse Jessica extended her hand in the direction of the IV line. "You might as well make yourself at home." “No.” As Akila attempted to disengage herself from the intravenous line, she narrowed her eyes and shot the nurse and Dustin a menacing look. "I'm good. I don't want any more." Not only Dustin, but also Nurse Jessica smiled ever so sligh
Who is this woman? Akila slowly opened her eyes, the clarity of her thoughts not yet returning. She had no choice but to discontinue taking the dreadful medication that left her feeling so out of control. Lucas entered the room in a stealthy manner. "Lie still. "Return to your sleep," She paid no attention to him and made another attempt to get the water. As soon as she leaned over the bed railing, dog paddling began in her stomach and head, and she felt herself quickly going under. Damn it, woman." Lucas put his hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her back while maintaining a stern and anxious expression on his face. Nurse Jessica barged her way into the room without knocking. The question "What's the matter?" "She absolutely needs those restraints to be put back on." Akila glared at him with contempt. “Water.” She slowly raised her hand and pointed to the container.She had already blacked out twice and was on the verge of doing so once more. "Is she attempting to get the
Being evasive on purpose? Or confused again? “No, the hooded man in the copper coat.” Instantly, her already pale face turned whiter. “Asta?” She scowled. “No one.” He clenched his fists. “If he's from your pack and he followed you here, angered you'd be investigating this, it might be something.” Closing her eyes, she shook her head. “Fine, when we catch the bastard, we'll find out all we want to know.” He paused, waiting for her to give in. When she didn't, he started in on her again. “He broke into your room, got physical with you--” “I.. I don't think he broke into my room.” “How do you know?” She didn't respond. “Got physical with you then.” Dustin barely curbed his rage. Why did she protect the bastard? “Little angry.” Dustin paced across the floor. “He was a little angry? I'm a little angry. Who the hell is he? And where is that damned letter? In your bag? Did you even have a bag?” Deputy Frank knocked on the door and poked his face in. “A deputy sheriff's here who
In astonishment, Dustin raised his brows. Why in the world had the two women come all the way to Colorado? “Surprised me, too. I got the impression she was a local girl. I was trying to find out where she was from and started mentioning some of the wildflowers native to Colorado. She offered me the names of others she'd seen. I asked if she was from down South, but she said, 'No, Denver.' So when I got the notice some guy in Oregon is claiming she's missing from his pack, I was pretty darned surprised. What do you want me to do?” “Sit on it. I need to find out what's going on before she goes home.” Dustin couldn't believe he said it. But something didn't ring true about this Anton character. And Dustin wasn't letting her out of his sight until he found the shooter. “If you hear anything more, let me know.” “Sure will.” The deputy gave him a sly smile. “I wouldn't let her go either, if I were in your shoes.” Dustin let the comment slide, figuring the deputy didn't know the situat
Laura and Octavia fought with each other next to Akila's bed, as she tried to ignore the yelling. Lucas leaned against the doorframe, shaking his head. Until Dustin and the doctor stalked into the room and Dustin shouted, “Enough! What the hell happened?”It appeared as though he had been startled, since his face had lost a little bit of its color, and he was looking at Akila a little too intently. It was actually her neck. She inhaled deeply and steadied herself with that breath. Now that the boss guy has arrived, all is well with the peace and quiet."She hit me!" Octavia let out a loud scream. That's right, and if they hadn't held me back, I would have done it again!Dustin remarked in a collected tone, "We can see." "I want to know the reason why."Akila struggled to find the words to express herself, but the IV had been reattached to her arm, and she could hardly concentrate on what was being said, let alone keep her eyes open. She suspected that stronger medicines were being pum
“Great.” Dustin raked his hands through his hair as he thought about something. "Now that I think about it, I clearly recall smelling the odor of decaying leaves, but I did not detect the scent of any lupus garous in human form. All I could smell was that god awful perfume Asta was wearing." Do you suppose the perpetrator was trying to conceal his scent by using hunter's spray made for humans?I'm going to inquire of Uncle Martin whether or not there were any rotting leaves in the neighborhood, and I'll report back to you. Now that you bring it up, I definitely caught a whiff of it. But do you recall the shade of brown I caught a whiff of?Since he was in wolf form at the time, he was unable to strangle her.“True. What are your thoughts on this Anton? Are you sure that we shouldn't try to get in touch with him?"We do not have any idea who he is in reality. Tommy is looking into the matter right now. What I want to know is whether or not she carried a bag with her, and if she did, wh
