___ROSE'S POV___ I didn't believe my ears when Jo said this. No, not Aunt Mel. I saw her yesterday, didn't I? And she was fine. She's healthier, better than I've seen her in the last month, so Jo must be playing a prank on me.  "This isn't the time for jokes, Jo. I saw her yesterday and she was fine" I refused to think of the possibility that she might actually truly be in the hospital. I feel like once I think it, then it actually comes to a reality.  "I'm serious, Rose. She had a relapse and collapsed not long ago. Dad and James have taken her to the hospital. I'm home now with Jaden and John, waiting for news from them. So far, we haven't heard anything and we thought you should know" She was fully sobbing now. It's true, she's in the hospital. This can't be happening now. Not Aunt M

___ROSE'S POV____ I walked out the door to meet the rest of the family huddled around the car, James came in with Aunt Mel and Uncle Jack, waiting for me. I apologise for keeping them waiting and we hopped in.  I sent Nate a quick message to let him know that we'll be in Uncle Jack's house, but it didn't show that he's read it yet, so I just closed my phone and dropped it in the phone holder beside me. I tried to engage my siblings in conversation but everyone's spirit is just so down that they don't respond to it, after a while, I gave up, too tired myself to continue.  When we got home, I made food for everyone of us, including Nate, with the help of John. He's the only one I know who can help me out even the slightest bit in the kitchen. Although, they mostly picked at their food, th

___ROSE'S POV___  When Nate came in with the news that he's found donors, I almost want to accept that he actually did. I was slated until I thought about it a second time, it's nearly impossible to find donors in less than a day, not just any donors, lung donors. And plural too, which means two people must have agreed to donate their lungs for my aunt. This seems like a fairytale, one where the knight in shining armor solves the problems of the lady in distress. It seems unlikely that this is true, if it's a prank, he should stop it, the last thing I'm toying with is my aunt's health.  "Come in and tell us about it" Harriet says, jolting me out of my thoughts. This is when I realize that I've been staring at Nate since he opened his mouth to speak, like he was an apparition that I've never seen before. Someone steered me to a s

____NATE'S POV____  When I left Rose and her family at the hospital and dropped off her friend, I had one destination in mind. My parent's house. I need to help her and the information I need to do that is in my family's house. I don't know what's prompting me to help her even though it's none of my business. I drive as fast as I can to the house and heads to the room where the archive is. We have an old-fashioned cabinet we use for this and we also have it on the computer. The archive contains every information on everyone we have had dealings with in the past as well, those we have with currently as those we might have with in the future. These people include allies, enemies, rival packs and packs whose territories we've conquered. The later file being the biggest. My family has always been obsessed with power and it was passed down to me too. This archive is just for our pack business only and has nothing

___ROSE'S POV___  I know my fear might seem invalidated, but it's rational. If anything goes wrong, it might lead to the death of my aunt and that's what none of us want. We just have to have faith at this point, wait and hope that nothing goes wrong. "It's fine, doc. Can we start the tests now? So we can know when the surgery will take place and we can prepare for it? I also need to tell the rest of them about it so they can mentally prepare for anything that might happen or go wrong" I'll have to be the one to break it to my siblings. I'm sure the doctor will be the one to tell my aunt and uncle, so that is covered. " You can go now. The men can stay, I'll arrange for the tests now". His attitude is different now that we have donors, he knows that we've put in effort to fi
