He growls, a low, irritated growl, before complying. I feel Hunter’s presence strengthen in my mind. If Zahn isn’t careful, my mate will come flying through that door. I’m hoping it doesn’t come to that. Jocelyn needs peace, not arguing and fighting.
Zahn collects himself and sits, reaching out to take Jocelyn’s hand. She quickly pulls it away.
“I just wanted to let you know what’s going to be happening, Zahn. Dr. Caspian is going to do surgery on me tomorrow. Depending on if or when Cassidy returns, my recovery time will be very slow. He can’t do everything at once, so, he’ll be focusing on one part of my body at a time. Starting tomorrow, he’s going to rebreak and reset the bones from my right hip to my right toes. /Without Cassidy, it will take me two months to heal before I can have the next surgery.”
“Two months! No way, Jocelyn. You’re not going to be here, recovering, for two months! I can’t be away from the pack that long,”
he says.
“I understand. I will stay…”
“NO!” he jumps to his feet, his fists clenched. “I will not allow you to stay here while I return home.’

“Never threaten my mate,” Hunter snarls in his face.
“Get off me,” Zahn snarls back.
“Let’s go,” I say to Jocelyn, knowing that my office is probably about to be destroyed. However, before I get outside the office door, Robin and Kayce step in, nodding to me as we pass. Nikki and Allison are outside and fall into step with us.
“Well, whatever you said sure did piss him off,” Nikki says. “Where are we headed?”
“The Survivor’s Center,” I tell her, hearing something smash in my
office.
“Do you
have anything really important in there?” Allison asks me.
“No, but hopefully Hunter will get him outside pretty quickly.”

“I’m sure the guys will help. Your mate won’t be looking too pretty for a couple of days,” Nikki says to Jocelyn.
“He’s not my mate. Not by choice, anyway,” Jocelyn says.

It makes me proud that my friends see what a great Alpha Hunter is. I mean, I see it in their mates, but it’s nice to know that others see it in
