When I come to I am in a hospital bed in the BloodMoon pack with Tessie at my bedside, not as my worried mother–in–law but as the pack doctor. Without her, the pack had been without a doctor. So she got right back to it even temporarily. Now that her mate was the new Alpha, she was the Luna and the doctor to the pack. She seemed fairly relaxed, I figured that was because it had to do with Ayla being in pain again. Not with my body.
“Griffin, you had a panic attack. Do you know what triggered it?” She asked me.
I couldn’t register what she was saying, I was a strong royal Alpha wolf I should not be having a panic attack.
“I don’t want to offend you Tessie, but I don’t think it is possible for a wolf like me to get a panic attack” I tried to reason with her.
She crossed her arms and glared at me, almost motherly. I do not know if this is because of the bond we have. Or if this is how she looks at every patient in the hospital. But it makes me feel small.
“No, you’re right it’s not like you’ve been under a lot of stress lately. It’s not like the most important thing in your life is missing” She shrugged making me see how ridiculous I was.
“I was suddenly scared that I would never hear Ayla’s voice through the mindlink. And that I understood why I had to go back to the castle but it feels bad going away when I can feel she is close” I just lay it all on the
table.
If I am getting panic attacks I am not as strong as I used to be. As I thought I was, I had been so deadset on being the one to find clues. The one who saved her, but I was getting nowhere, the more time that passed the bigger the chances were she got hurt. Maybe the panic attack was what I needed to realize I couldn’t do this on my own.

After having to stay in the pack hospital for the rest of the afternoon, just so Tessie could keep an eye out on me. She worried and hovered over me like my mom would do. Mom had even visited me, both insisting I needed to take better care of myself. They are not even wrong but I couldn’t rest before I had Ayla back in my arms.
Still, I felt a little better about asking for help when I had to leave to go back to the castle. Alpha Jay had promised me he would send out patrols twice a day. With how small the army had gotten that was the most he could do. Meanwhile, Father had ordered some heat–seeking drones. Once I could control from my castle with an app. They would land at the edge of the Blood Moon pack. In a designated spot. Where the guards on patrol around the borders would pick it up and place it in the charger.
That way I did not have to stay here to try and find some clues. Of

course, I would also contact more Alpha’s than we did before. And I needed to contact the human government to see if they could help me. Usually, they do not get involved with the pack business. But since this was a crime against the royal family they might be more inclined to help out. To make sure that the peace among the packs would remain. A reasonably small war between two packs did not hurt the humans and thus they would not get involved.
If an all–out war broke out between several packs including the royal pack and at least one other pack. It could hurt the humans, and that had always been enough motion for them to get involved.
Part of me hated that I had to sit in an office, going to stuffy meetings instead of being out there actively searching for her. But I knew it was what I needed to do.
