CHAPTER 2
Dr. Sands and Summer are already waiting at the hospital doors with a gurney. I had linked them both as we were headed back this way. It has taken us longer than usual because we don't want to jar the stranger too much without knowing what kind of injury he has. By the looks of the gash on the side of his head, it looks like someone was trying to kill the guy. It doesn't look as though there are other injuries, but one can never be too sure.
I had wrapped a shirt around the wound to staunch the blood flow, but his pulse is getting weaker. He is our only chance to find out who they are exactly and why they are here. I'm hoping that by the male trying to lead the others away, that he has somewhat of a decent heart, but we won't know that either if he dies on us.
"Jonah, please try your best to save him. We need information and I think he may be willing to tell us." I inform the doctor.
He unwraps the blood-soaked shirt and grimaces, "I will do my best, Luna."
"That's all I ask. Please let me know as soon as you know more." I turn and find Declan waiting. He's covered in the stranger's blood but he's still smiling at me.
"What's the smile for, Alpha?"
"Have I ever told you how hot you look when you're being assertive? You took charger the moment you saw how injured a complete stranger was, a possible enemy at that!" He reaches forward with just his lips, wanting me to kiss him.
Grabbing his face, I give him what he wants, but only a brief one,
and then I pull away, "Down boy, we still have work to do!" I turn and start walking away.
He growls playfully, "Do I look like a dog to you?"
I spin back around with a lifted brow, "You did not just ask me that!"
"Yeah, I did! I ain't no dog..." His sentence dies off once he finally catches himself, "I'm a wolf...there's a difference!" He huffs and stomps past me, sulking playfully.
He would be annoyed if he witnessed the smirk that I'm aiming at him. I slap his ass as he goes past, "Dog, wolf; I hate to break it to you, but they are both canines...one in the same."
"You keep a dog as a pet, not a wolf! There is no comparison, Quinn, and I can't believe that you would put yourself in the same category as a mutt!" He turns and rolls his eyes at me.
"I only do it to get your panties in a bunch, sweet cheeks!" I slap his ass once more.
"I'd have to be wearing them in order to get them in a bunch, smart ass." He tries hiding, his grin, but he fails miserably.
"Hm, I don't believe you. Do you mind proving it?" I bite my lower lip.
He glances down at himself covered in another's blood, and then with a sexy look that I know all too well, he says, "How about you follow me into our room, and I will show you. Of course, you will have to then follow me into the shower to help me clean all this blood off me. I might have gotten it in places that I can't quite see."
I lean in, "That's what mirrors are for," I start walking towards the
pack house, "I need to go get our pups.
"You're such a fucking tease!" He chuckles.
"Then I guess you had better take a cold shower then, huh?" I hear him trying to sneak up on me and I take off running. He isn't quite as fast as I am, but he does catch up to me when I hit the steps to the porch.
"Damn woman, you're fast!" He seems surprised, but he's known that my skills have been getting better and better, "You were almost like a blur, Quinn!"
