Jocelyn looks at me, her face showing her surprise. I nod, letting her know that the decision is hers.
“If
you want to be in the hospital, that’s fine. But I don’t trust you alone in my room with me.”
“Can I be in the room if someone else is with me?” he asks.
Jocelyn looks up at Sophie. “That’s up to you,” Sophie tells her.
“If the Lunas are willing to have you in the room with them, that’ s fine,” Jocelyn says.
“A Luna and two warriors or a Luna and one of the Alphas,” I say, not willing to allow this man to be close to my mate alone again after the way he treated her. I know Robin and Kayce won’ t want that for their mates either.
“We volunteer to take turns,” Brutus says.
Sophie and Jocelyn turn, seeing the large number of warriors who have congregated behind them, spreading out in a protective arc. Sophie turns and looks at me in surprise, but I just wink at her. She really has no idea how much this pack adores her.

Alpha Zahn. If you agree to Jocelyn and Hunter’s terms, you may sit in the room with me. But I will warn you, if you do anything to impede her healing or try in any way to change the course of her treatment, you will be removed.”
Almost as one, the warriors step forward. It’s a simple, yet powerful show of support for their Luna and it doesn’t go unnoticed by Zahn.
“Agreed. I just want to be there, to make sure that nothing goes wrong.”
“Very well. We need to get going. Today’s surgery is going to be a long one and Dr. Caspian wanted to get started early,” Sophie tells him.
“I’ll be here all day, Jocelyn. I won’t leave the hospital or your side,” he tells her.
She nods as Sophie begins wheeling her inside the pack hospital. Then, Jocelyn turns, looking at the warriors who are still taking a protective stance around Sophie and by association, Jocelyn.
“Do you still think it’s Alpha Hunter that the pack adores?” she asks Sophie.
Sophie turns and looks at our warriors. “I think they adore both of us, as much as we adore them.”
I feel the instant wave of pride and love from the pack at Sophie’s words.

1 smile as Zahn and I follow Sophie and Jocelyn inside. My mate truly has no idea what a remarkable woman she is.
Sophie
I made sure that Jocelyn was settled, and I stayed with her while she was prepped for surgery. She didn’t want Zahn in the room at that time, so he remained in the waiting room. I was surprised that he didn’t even grumble about it.
“You were right about your mate,” she says to me.
“Which part?” I ask, not sure what’s she’s referencing.
“About his strength. He beat the shit out of Zahn.”
“He threatened me. No one in the pack will allow that. You saw that.”
“What does it feel like to have that level of security in your life?” she asks sadly.
“Well, I don’t bask in it. That security is a two-way street. I have to give to the pack as well. When they don’t feel safe, I need to be there for them, to make sure they know that they are safe.”
“Like what you’re doing with me?”
“Exactly,” I say, sitting on the edge of her bed and smiling at her.
She looks away, her lips trembling. “I’m scared, Sophie.”
I take her hand, clasping it in both of mine. “About which part, in
