“How’s he doing?” Robin asks Hunter when he leaves.
“He’s behaving,” Hunter says as Nikki walks over to the bed to look at Jocelyn.
“How’s she doing?”
I shrug. “Her vitals are fine. She just seems to be resting. I know that the next couple of days will be tough for her, but I’m hoping that if she can rest and heal, she’ll be feeling better soon. The nurses come in to check on her periodically and I believe that they’re giving her pain medications on a pretty steady basis. Dr. Caspian didn’t expect her to wake up until later this morning.”
“Okay, we’ll look after her.”
Hunter had carried me back to our room. We’d passed Zahn on his way back, but he seemed deep in thought. Hunter had tucked me into bed and curled up around me before I fell into a deep sleep.
It was morning before I got to enjoy all the images Hunter sent me yesterday and while I was tired, it was a fantastic wake up. Hunter went to warrior training, and I got ready for the day before meeting him for breakfast. When we finished, we headed over to the hospital together to check on Jocelyn. I’m

relieving Allison so she can go back to sleep before they have to leave this morning. Both of my friends wanted to get home and talk to their packs before we meet at Qwen’s old pack.
When we walked in, Zahn was hunched over the bed, his head on Jocelyn’s hand, holding it in his as he slept. I smile at a sleepy Allison who has a fresh steaming mug of coffee beside her and then turn to Jocelyn, whose eyes flutter open.
“Hey, good morning,” I say softly, walking over to her. Zahn’s head pops up and he sees that her eyes are open.
“You’re awake! Oh, thank the goddess!” he says, jumping up and leaning over to kiss her.
“Alpha Zahn, your mate just woke up. How about giving her a moment to gain her senses,” Hunter says.
I watch as Zahn’s jaw clenches, but he does back off a bit.
“How are you feeling?” I ask her.
“Like shit,” she murmurs.
“I thought she was on pain medication! Where are those nurses!” Zahn demands his Alpha aura, whether intentionally or unintentionally, pushes out. It’s irritating for me, but I imagine it’ s uncomfortable or even detrimental to Jocelyn’s recovery.
“Alpha Zahn, you need to rein yourself in,” I say strongly. I watch as his face contorts into what looks like he’s going to growl before he looks at Hunter and catches himself.

>”I’m just worried about my mate,” he snaps.
“If you’re so worried about her, then pay attention to your aura, Alpha Zahn. Spreading your frustration and anger into the air of this room will impede her recovery which will mean that you will be removed,” Hunter says sternly, coming to stand beside me. The warriors in the room step up behind Zahn, ready to forcibly remove him is necessary.
He takes a deep breath, but I can tell he’s not happy about me and Hunter keeping him in check.
“She needs to be checked. She’s in pain,” he insists.
Hunter looks at one of the warriors and they turn and walk out, presumably to get a nurse. I turn back to Jocelyn, who is my primary concern, knowing that Hunter will handle Zahn.
“Dr. Caspian said your surgery went well. I know that may not help at the moment…”
“No, it does. I’m glad to know it went well. How long did it take.”
“All day,” Zahn says, taking her hand again.
“Ten hours,” I clarify. “But he was able to reset every bone from our right hip to your toes.”
“Well, if it works, that will be worth it,” she says. “Can I have some water?”
I turn, looking around the room.
