The morning after they had met in her office Bell had sent a message to Caleb letting him know that Ashleigh was being discharged from the hospital. “I’m just curious,” Galen said, crossing his arms over his chest. “I mean, isn’t it normal to reach out to the Beta to get a message to the Alpha? It’s not like you two are close, right?” “I don’t know, Galen. Why don’t you ask her?” Caleb sighed. Ever since Galen had found out that Bell sent Caleb a message, he had brought the subject…

“Sorry!” Galen replied quickly. He reached forward when she hit the desk, but he stopped himself from touching her. “I didn’t mean to– sorry.” Bell looked at him but turned away when she saw the look in his eyes. She couldn’t face him yet. “What happened to Ashleigh?” Caleb pleaded again. Bell refocused her attention on Caleb. She moved beside him to take a closer look at his condition. He looked exhausted and weak. She put the back of her hand to his head. ‘When did they become so…

Her eyes fluttered open drowsily as the sound of a bird outside the window stirred her from sleep. The speckled grey tiles that came into focus above reminded her that she was still in a hospital room. Ashleigh sighed, bringing her arm up to rest on her forehead. She closed her eyes, wondering if it was possible to fall back asleep again. Caleb’s cold eyes flashed in her mind. She gasped and looked back around the room. ‘Awake. Awake is better,’ she thought to herself. “Hey…” a voice called…

“What the hell did you do!” Granger snarled angrily at the woman standing before him. “Exactly what was asked of me, sugar,” the woman smiled. Granger shoved her hard against a tree, pinning her down with his arm held to her throat. He snarled at her once more. Unphased by his anger, Alice cleared her throat. “I don’t mind getting a little rough, but we really need to establish safe words before we get started,” she smiled mischievously. Granger snarled again, pushing down on his arm a…

Ashleigh stepped carefully through the mist and fog. Her bare foot touched the soft, cold earth beneath her. Reaching forward, her hand found the bark of a tree. “Hello?” she called out, only receiving her echo in response. She tried to look around her, to see anything she recognized at all. It was pointless. The fog was so thick she could hardly see her own hand in front of her. “Where am I?” she asked herself out loud. “With me,” a soft voice called back to her. “Hello?!” Ashleigh…

“Saul just dropped off the rest of the gear,” Galen called out as he entered the room. “Great,” Caleb answered, offering Galen a pile of clothing. “Guess it was good that mom insisted I bring you some extra clothes.” “I do appreciate it,” Galen smiled, taking the shirts from Caleb. “A surprise camping trip in the snowy mountains was not on my mind while I packed to come to Winter.” “Better safe than sorry,” Caleb replied. “I think putting some distance between Ashleigh and…

“Alpha Tomas took great pleasure in explaining to me how quickly my wound had healed once the very last drops of the boy’s blood ran through my veins,” Caleb growled quietly. “He decided that the best way to punish my intrusion was to force me to be a part of his disgusting crime.” Bell could no longer hold back the tears. “He knew that because I wasn’t the Alpha of my pack, I had no right to interfere or take action against him. That my job was to keep the peace between us.” Bell looked…

Bell did her best to swallow down the panic. “Yes… well, I didn’t really think you were here for a friendly chat….” Bell said nervously. Caleb’s mouth tilted in a half-smile before he spoke. “Three years ago, I made a recommendation to every pack, an emergency medical station. Did Winter implement this suggestion?” Bell was confused. “If I remember correctly, the recommendation was accepted. But when we offered to furnish them, we were rejected,” Caleb said. “I wasn’t involved…

Caleb arrived in Galen’s room not long after Peter had left. The two friends joked and chatted for a moment before sharing the critical details of their respective days. Caleb explained what had happened with Ashleigh and what followed with her family. Galen was shocked and confused by the diagnosis. He had never heard of the mating sickness and worried that it might influence Caleb at the full moon the next night. “From what I read on the subject, Ashleigh will take the brunt of the bond during this…

It had already been several hours since Galen had been put under observation, and yet Bell was nowhere in sight. He had been told that she was called away for an emergency in the afternoon, but that was hours ago. ‘I thought she would at least stop in for a chat,’ he sighed to himself sadly. The door to his room opened, and he sat up with anticipation, only to feel a great sense of disappointment when Peter entered the room. Galen let out a deep sigh. “Good to see you too,” laughed…
