“It probably feels like that. But you’re here now. And while I know you’ll be in a lot of pain for the next couple of days, your healing will begin and here, you’ll have peace. Hopefully, that peace and your healing will allow your wolf to return.”

“Everyone here seems to think she will.”

“What’s her name?” I ask.

“Cassidy,” she says smiling. “Damn, I miss that sassy wolf. You get used to having them in your head, you know. And when they’re gone…” She stops, her voice getting choked again. “It’s very lonely,” she finishes, looking down.

“You’re not alone, now. I know that’s not the same thing, but while your body is healing physically, you can also focus on healing your mind. I think sometimes that’s what helps our wolves to resurface. It’s almost like you have to give them a place that they feel safe returning to, does that make sense?” I ask her.

“It does, actually,” she says, giving me a half smile as Dr. Caspian walks in.

“Good morning, Luna, good morning, Jocelyn. Are you ready for today?” he asks, coming over and assessing her.

“I’m nervous,” she says honestly.

“I’d be shocked if you weren’t. The good news is, I’m not. I know it will be a long day, but I’m ready to go if you are.”

She nods, then looks at me. “I’ll be here when you get out. Dr. Caspian or Brooklyn will keep me updated on your status. Even if you aren’t awake, just know that I’ll be here.”

“Thank you, Luna.”

“You know, if you want me to call you Jocelyn, you should start calling me Sophie. That’s what friends do,” I say as Dr. Caspian prepares the bed to move.

“Is that what we are?” she asks.

“It’s what I’d like to be,” I tell her honestly. She’s been through a lot. I don’t think she really has anyone in her life that she feels comfortable or safe with. Here, hopefully, she’ll have both.

She looks at me a moment. “Thank you, Sophie.”

“You’re welcome, Jocelyn,” I say as Dr. Caspian pushes the bed out of the room and down the hall to surgery. I wait until she’s in her room before turning to walk out to the waiting area. The moment I see Hunter I walk into his embrace.

“How is she?”

‘Nervous,’ I say in the mind link, not sure if she’d want Zahn to know how she was feeling. “Dr. Caspian just took her back,” I

“Do you know how long she’ll be in surgery?” he asks me.

“Dr. Caspian seems to think it will be an all-day surgery. He’ll give me updates throughout the day…”

“I’d like to be informed. She didn’t say I couldn’t be informed of her progress,” he says.

“That’s fine. I don’t intend to stay here, since I’ll be with her tonight when she comes out. Will you be staying here in the hospital, Alpha Zahn?” I ask.

“Yes, I’m not leaving until she does….as long as she allows me to stay,” he clarifies.

I look at the warriors who are on guard duty. “How long will the two of you be guarding Alpha Zahn?”

“We have day duty, Luna,” one warrior replies.

“Okay, when I get information, I’ll relay it to your guards. I won’t be asking Dr. Caspian or Brooklyn any clarifying questions, Alpha Zahn, because their focus needs to be on your mate. So, I will tell you what I know, and that will be all that we’ll get until the surgery is complete tonight.”

He nods, looking at the guards, then back at me. “Very well.”

Hunter leads me outside before saying anything. “You’re going to need a nap today, Soph.”
