I had sat with Gabe for three days now, and he was still sleeping. The Drs were coming and going, telling me his stats were improving. The nurses were regularly cleaning his wound and it actually looked like it was starting to slowly heal now they had managed to get it to stop bleeding. Kya was in slightly less of a mood with me, she was whimpering each time the nurses were touching her mate, changing his dressings, knowing he would likely be in pain. Seeing his wounds made me flinch. I have seen so many wounds in my training, but seeing them on Gabe they seemed so much worse. Knowing it was my mate that was hurt, knowing he could be in pain, it affected me more. Mateo spent most of the time here too. Though I had gone a step further and was literally sleeping in the chair next to Gabe’s bed. I only left the room to go and have a shower in the Drs' room that they were allowing me to use. And I only did that when Mateo was with him, so he wasn’t on his own. I needed to make th

To wake up and see Esme by my side, I swear I thought for a second I had died. But then I saw my Dad and Knox and figured they would not be with me. I was in fucking agony. Had they not heard of pain killers?! My Dad was straight on my case, so I know from that he had been upset and scared. He acts all tough like that, making jokes and digs when he has been worrying. So I go along with it. Joining in with his jokes, though in truth I just wanted to be with Esme. Hearing Knox suggest he and my Dad went for a coffee was a relief. I do wonder if he has done that specifically for me. As I hear the door close behind them, I look to Esme, and she is fidgeting with her top. I am unsure what to say now she is here. She obviously travelled down here because I was injured right? And from what my Dad had said she has been sat in here since she got here? Dare I read into that? Damn this silence is awkward….. I look up to her, just as she looks to me…. She is beautiful. “Hey you

I walk back to the room as the Dr was leaving, to see Gabe and Esme looking at each other awkwardly. Had we interrupted something? Or had the Dr given him some bad news? “Everything ok?” I ask. “Hey Knox” Gabe smiles “Del not come to see me?” “She is home with Kai” I explain. “Damn, I nearly die, and she still won’t run away with me” he grins. Esme looks puzzled. She best get used to this weird stuff her mate says. “You don’t need my girl now, you got your own” I grin back. “Maybe Esme might like to share or she might want to run away with you?” Gabe winks. I laugh at the look of shock on Esme’s face now. “It’s a long-standing joke, Esme, don’t worry, he has no intention of running away with Lilah and I highly doubt he would be letting you run anywhere with me either” I smile. “It is his weird sense of humour, you need to get used to it” Gabe laughs “Ow that hurts” his hand goes to his side “I can’t even laugh without it feeling like my insid

I lick away the blood from making him. That felt amazing. So intense. Kya was going crazy in my mind, desperate to get to her mate. Howling over and over. I look to Gabe and smile, then I realise his canines have elongated. Is his wolf back?! Wow! That is amazing if he is. We did it! “Carino, that was amazing, please? I want to make you mine now, can I mark you?” he looks to me almost desperately. Is he thinking I would say no? Crazy fool! As I am going to turn him down! Admittedly, yeah you think of a romantic setting for being marked, but we can do this again another day, when things are better and we are home. But I want to be his too. I want to have his mark on me. I simply smile and offer him my neck. His eyes widen, I clearly surprised him. I can't help but smile at his goofiness. He is the cutest. He repositions himself slightly on the bed, looking a little in pain, but he is suddenly kissing me, gentle little kisses along my neck, straight to my collar bon

We waited at Crimson Night Pack for Esme and Gabe to arrive. There was a massive change in the pack since we had first arrived. Many pack members had already been relocated. The atmosphere was so much less tense, so much happier.The Werewolf Council had guards within the pack and at the gates to ensure security was maintained. And their investigations were still ongoing but seemed to be going well. From the information passed to Alpha Jacob and Knox, the stories and reports coming through the interviews from pack members were shocking and basically meant Alpha Jace and his senior pack members, including former Alphas from the last 30-40 years, were well and truly screwed. They would be charged with such a long list of charges it is unlikely they would be seeing the light of day again. That is if they didn’t choose to punish them with death penalties for some of the crimes.And personally, I couldn’t have been happier. They have made so many innocent people
