Galen came out of the office when he heard Axel’s name. He was stunned to see him in this condition. His hair was matted in blood, his exposed eye was swollen, and his nose appeared broken. It was clear from how he carried himself that there were also internal injuries. “We need to get you to an exam room,” Peter said. Shouting in the distance drew Galen’s notice. He saw nurses and orderlies grabbing piles of supplies and loading them up on carts. “Granger… he killed Renee,” Axel said…

Bell had taken a couple of hours to hand off all the medical equipment to Peter to be examined and pawed at. In the meantime, Galen had said he would set up a surprise in her office. She tried to call him to let him know how long it would be but couldn’t reach him. When she returned to her office, he was standing beside her desk with what seemed to be a smaller desk. “Ok, three things,” Bell said as she closed the door, Galen looked up with a smile. “Yes?” he asked. “One, where is your…

“What is this?” Ashleigh asked, staring at the trailer full of gear and equipment. “It’s a gift,” Galen replied. “What? From who?” she inquired, looking closer at one of the crates. “Alpha Caleb,” Galen smiled. “There are upgraded mesh skins, made lighter and smaller to be incorporated into standard practice and patrol gear instead of just armor. There are also Emergency Medical Stations and perimeter–“ “Take it all back.” The gruff voice came from behind Ashleigh. She…

“What happened?” Galen asked. “Her heart gave out,” Bell said with a sniffle. “She came out of the coma, her adrenaline spiked harder than ever before, and no one could catch it in time.” Galen closed his eyes. He wished he could hold her in his arms and offer her his support. “Her heart was already weak; she was on borrowed time before bringing her in.” “Bell–” Galen began. “Don’t say you’re sorry,” Bell quickly interrupted. “I hate that.” “I know,” Galen smiled…

Axel tossed and turned in his sleeping bag. It had been three days since they left home. Everything had been going well until earlier that evening when he suddenly started feeling heavy, painful cramping in his stomach. After hours of pushing past the pain or calming it with basic care, he felt unable to move. A fever had set in, and he knew he needed help. Granger offered to shift and run back home to see if he could at least bring Bell back with him. That had been hours ago. Axel considered trying to…

“You heard me,” Bell replied, crossing her arms over her chest. “His heart stopped?” Ashleigh asked with concern. “Was he ok? What happened?” “If you care so much, why did you choose Granger?” Bell asked. Ashleigh looked away. “I can care about another person without any meaning to it.” “Not this person,” Bell sighed. Bell sat down beside Ashleigh, neither looking at the other. “You can lie to almost anyone, and they won’t see it,” Bell said, turning to Ashleigh with a…

“Where is Ashleigh?” Axel asked, looking around for his sister. “She left early this morning to help Bell with Renee,” Corrine replied. “Really?” Axel asked. “Couldn’t that have waited? I mean Granger–” “Axel, he isn’t leaving the pack or going to another country,” Corrine sighed. “It’s just the southern territories. Only two hour’s drive, less on paw.” “Still, shouldn’t she be here to say goodbye?” “You worry too much. I’m sure Ashleigh and Granger have…

Bell stepped out of the room when she saw his name on the screen. She quickly answered the call, pulling down the top half of the environmental suit. “Hello?” “Hey,” he replied with a smile in his voice. His voice purred in her ear, and she closed her eyes to momentarily relish the feeling. “Galen,” she replied. The silence between them wasn’t uncomfortable. On the contrary, she felt him near her, like a warmth she had never known before. “How’ve you been?” Bell asked, choosing…

Ashleigh wasn’t sure what she had expected to see when she arrived in Renee’s room. They had told her at the nurse’s station that things had taken a rough turn. Renee was violent and resistant even in her sleep. She kicked and thrashed and yanked her own IVs out multiple times, even after being given heavy sedation. The flowers Ashleigh had grabbed on the way to the hospital had been given to the nurses. They had told her that nothing could be brought into Renee’s room. In fact, Ashleigh was…

After finding Caleb outside Alpha Wyatt’s home, it took a while to calm him down enough to get anything out of him. Even then, Caleb had mostly remained quiet. Saying only that Ashleigh was not his mate. He had refused to say anymore, and the pain in his eyes prevented Galen from pushing any further. The return to Summer was quick. Galen had not stopped for a break since they left Winter. It was a long drive, but each time he got tired or uncomfortable, he only needed to look back in the mirror to see…
