Draven POVRon Robertson was lying on one of the treatment beds when I entered the hospital.He was one of the Gammas who had come with us to contain the disturbance that had spilled into neutral territory. And judging by the bruising across his face and the bandages wrapped around his torso, he'd paid heavily for it.He tried to sit up when he saw me. I held out a hand."Don't trouble yourself."At the same time, Doctor Fennis stepped forward, clearly preparing to protest his movement."His wounds were pretty severe, Alpha," she said. "He'll be all right, but he won't be able to shift for another week. I also recommend complete bed rest during that period."I nodded. That was enough for me.Simon gave her a subtle signal, and after a slight bow, she left the room. The door closed behind her, leaving only Simon, Ron, and me.The warrior looked exhausted.His eyelids were heavy, and it was clear that he was struggling to keep them open. The painkillers and sedatives were obviously stil

Layla POVI didn't see or hear from Draven after the phone call. By evening, everything almost looked normal again. The town had settled into its usual rhythm, people had returned to their routines, and Aiden seemed to have forgotten that a few days ago he got lost in the woods. Even the strange males I'd spotted around us several times became part of the scenery. But Draven's absence didn't ease my fears. If anything, it gave my mind more room to replay our conversation. His words stayed with me through the afternoon, through dinner, and long after Aiden had gone to sleep. I kept hearing that calm edge in his voice, the certainty behind every word. I’ll see you two soon. I had no idea what that meant. Other people assumed the increased security in town was because of the attack. No one questioned the unfamiliar faces appearing all around town, and I certainly wasn't going to correct my colleagues. Aiden going back to school was one thing I was secretly grateful for. He neede

Layla POVTravis and I had already talked yesterday. I was supposed to take a few hours off that morning and drive to FallsVale. I had only planned to stop by the office briefly, review an urgent patient chart, leave my comments, and then set out.Somehow, all of that had gone straight to the back of my mind when I opened my door that morning and found Draven standing there.And now, with him at Healer's Grace to see Travis about something that directly concerned me, I found myself wondering if I should postpone the trip.Part of me wanted to stay.I wanted to know what Draven was going to ask Travis. I wanted to know what Travis would tell him. More importantly, I wanted to know whether the meeting would somehow expose what I had spent years trying to keep hidden.But after reviewing the urgent chart that had brought me into the office before my trip, I knew I couldn't postpone FallsVale.This had to take precedence over everything else.It involved my son.I would find out how Drave

Layla POVGeorge's phone began to ring the moment he walked into the hospital behind me. From the expression on his face, I could tell it was not something he could ignore."I have to take this," he said.I nodded and headed straight for my office. I needed a few minutes to breathe.The morning had already been far too eventful, and my mind was struggling to catch up with everything that had happened. Draven coming to my apartment. Breakfast with him and Aiden. His questions about Travis and the masking potion. Then Carla appearing at the hospital with George. The latter announcing that Draven was still not mated yet. And finally watching Carla Voss kiss him.I closed my office door behind me and let out a slow breath.Carla was here for a reason. I didn't believe for a second that an assignment from the High Council was the whole story. Whatever her official reason for being here, I was sure there was something else.She hadn't mentioned Aiden. That should ease some of my worries. M

Draven POVAt sunset, it became obvious that Travis Martin was avoiding me.Nigel had confirmed that the Chief had been inside Healer's Grace when I'd gone there earlier. Yet somehow, the man had managed to disappear before I could see him, and the hospital staff had been instructed to lie that he wasn't around."Let's see how you keep hiding, Martin," I muttered into the empty space.Normally, that kind of defiance would have held my interest far longer. Travis Martin was already a major puzzle, and I didn't like puzzles I couldn't solve. But tonight, the little detail did not interest me as much as it should have.Because Nash had just gotten back to me.According to our sources, Layla had been seen around FallsVale, meeting Nina Buch.I didn't know the woman well, but she was a member of Arctic Moon. According to my Beta, she'd served as Gordon's PA for many years. That alone made the meeting worth thinking about. Whatever Layla had gone to see her about, I doubted it was a casua
