Aty stomach dipped when I met Mason’s strained expression. Panie licked at my insides. “Was she hurt?”

“No, nothing like that,” he hurried to say as his features smoothed out. “We’ve had to send her to a hospital”

I blinked a few times. What were the chances that both my mothers would end up needing that kind of medical care? And, in some way, both incidents were my fault.

“Don’t you dare take that on,” Vaughn ordered.

“If it wasn’t for me, neither of my moms would

Caspian moved forward, making sure to meet my gaze. “They’re sick. The sickness was always there. Circumstances beyond your control are what brought them to the surface.”

“He’s right,” Mason said. “None of this is on you. What’s important right now is that we get Abbie the care she needs.”

“Can she even be at a regular hospital?” I couldn’t imagine so, if there was a chance of her shifting.

“She’s in a special institution for supernaturals. They can give her a medication that prevents her from shifting,” Mason explained.

I pressed closer to Vaughn’s side. “They can help her?”

“They’re going to do their best.”

“Can I go see her?”

“In a couple of weeks, I’m sure you can. Maybe if she sees over time that you’re safe and well, it will help her healing process.”

God, I hoped he was right. I didn’t want to lose her too. She wasn’t ever really mine, yet the idea of her never coming back to herself, never giving me the answers I was looking for, was gu

“She didn’t tell you anything?”

River shook his head. “Nothing that was useful. I tried to pick up on her emotions, but they were so jumbled, I couldn’t get a clear read other than panic and fear.”

“I hate that she’s so scared.”

Vaughn’s hold on me tightened, and the rest of the guys moved closer to me.

“The doctors will help with that,” Knox reassured me.

Mason stilled, his eyes going hard.

Knox’s gaze instantly jumped to his father. “What’s wrong?”

“The council. They’re here.”

“I thought it was going to take days for them to get plans in place,” Knox said as he stepped closer to me, taking up a defensive. position.

Mason’s mouth pressed into a firm line. “Apparently, only the Quad is here. They decided they didn’t want to wait for the rest of the council.”

“Or inform you that they’d be arriving ahead of schedule,” Vaughn muttered,

River stared through the lodge to the front doors. “They wanted to throw us off. Make sure we weren’t prepared. They never had any plans of bringing the entire council,”

“Luc. you need to keep yourself open to them. See what you can pick up,” Mason said.

River nodded. “I doubt I’ll pick up on much. They’re too good at shielding.”

“Shielding?” I asked, looking at Caspian. “Like your gift?”

Caspian shook his head. “Not really. I can protect myself from physical and psychic attacks. The council is old and powerful, and they’ve learned to shield their minds from probing over time. They’ll also have a guard with them that can defend against psychic and physical attacks.”

“How old are they?”

“They’re all over two hundred years,” Mason answered.

My eyes bulged.

Mason chuckled. “Wolf shifters live a very long time.”

I turned my attention to the rest of the group. “You guys are leaving out some important information about this whole shifter

thing.”

Anson disguised his laugh with a cough. “Sorry.”

The humor didn’t reach Knox. He stayed focused on his father. “What do we do?”

“What you don’t do is look like you’re ready for attack.” He motioned to Knox’s stance. “We need to pretend like there’s nothing more to Senna than a valuable healer.”

Knox rolled his shoulders back, forcing himself to relax. “It’s typical for us to be protective of our mate.”

“To a certain level, yes. Looking like you’re about ready to take one of their heads off is a bit more than protective.”

Knox turned away, staring out into the woods.

“Let’s move inside so we can greet them,” Mason instructed. “Senna, don’t meet any of their stares for more than a count of three. Shake their hands, but end the contact as quickly as possible. Hopefully, all of you together will muddy their read on

Senna.”

“They’ll be able to sense my powers?”

“Not your specific gifts, but a level of power. The fact that you are mated to five dominant wolves will take it harder for themt to figure out what your power is and what belongs to your bond mates.

“You don’t have to do this,” Vaughn said in

low voice. “We can still run.”

Caspian clapped his brother on the back. “You know it’s too late for that.”

“I don’t like this.”

Anson squeezed his other shoulder. “None of us do.”

Surprise lit Vaughn’s eyes at the contact. Shock that someone other than his brother and me would touch him. I could’ve kissed Anson right then.

“I’ll be okay.” I forced as much confidence into my voice as possible.
