Chapter 18
‘Did you agree with her assessments? I ask.
‘Honestly, I think she’s seeing more than I am right now. She was able to tell that Carson was too exhausted and was making mistakes. He’s one that she put on recovery time for twenty–four. I didn’t even realize he hadn’t slept in days. It was affecting his performance in battle.”
I look back at my little mate, smiling proudly. Yes, she will make a fine Luna for me.
‘Her orders stand,” I tell him. ‘What else?”
“It might be better if I show you,‘ he says. Since I can hear how exhausted he is, it must be important for him to come over to the hospital for me to see it.
“Okay, don’t knock, just come in. Yara is still asleep. Do you know when she came in here?‘ I ask him.
“Only a few hours ago. She went to see every single warrior, Alpha. Every single one in the hospital She did an assessment of them, put some on recovery time, told others if they don’t get sleep in the next twenty–four hours, that she’d put them down officially too. She’s pretty impressive. Honestly, she makes Dr. Stevens look…well, lazy.”
Yeah, I’d gotten that same feeling before I passed out.
“And uh, at the risk of you getting angry with me, I think I understand why you like her mumbling.”
Arric growls low in his chest. “Why is that?”
“It’s funny. I can’t remember the last time I smiled, Alpha, or laughed. She’s funny, and witty, and even the warriors were giving her looks like they couldn’t believe some of the things she mumbled.”
“They all better know that she’s mine,‘ I say possessively.
‘I told them, they’re good. But as a Luna…damn, Alpha, she’s exactly what this pack has been needing, in more ways than one.”
‘I couldn’t agree more,‘ I tell him, just as I feel him outside the door. ‘Quietly,‘ I say, not wanting him to wake my mate.
Chapter 18
He steps into the room, looking at Yara and smiling at her. I growl softly at him. He and I share a type when it comes t
women. But I have no intention of sharing my mate with anyone and if he ever tried to take her from me, I’d kill him. It doesn’t matter how much I like him.
He looks away, knowing that I know he feels a pull to her. He can love her, adore her, appreciate her as his Luma, once my mark is on her. Until then, I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable with my Beta’s attention toward my mate.
“You have some things to figure out with her, Alpha,” he says, before laying the trackers on the bed. beside me. I carefully pull my fingers from her hair and begin looking over the trackers.
“Where did you find these?‘ I ask, still talking in the mind link so we don’t wake her.
‘On her car,”
I stop, looking up at him. ‘All of them?”
“Yes. Some inside, although the key was where she told me it would be, and some outside. One in the trunk, two in the motor, one under the driver’s seat, and one shoved between the seats in the backseat of the car.”
I stare at the trackers, now deactivated. Five? Who the fuck is so desperate to get to my mate that they put five trackers on her car?
‘And her clothes were gone.”
I slowly look up to my Beta.
“Scents?‘
“None I recognized. I couldn’t figure out which Alpha they worked for, but we could definitely smell wolves. One of the packs did this. Someone is looking for her.‘
I look back down at my sleeping mate. She’s been in a human university for several years. She could have
gone to a werewolf university to study medicine, but she didn’t. She’s hiding and she’s been in hiding for a very long time.
‘I need you to do one more thing for me before you get some sleep. I need you to assign someone to go to the human medical school north of here. You know which one I mean?”
“Yeah, but isn’t she a resident? We need to go to the local hospital or medical center too, right? You want us to find her records and remove her from their system?” he asks.
Chapter 18
“Yes. We need to eliminate any trace of her before whoever is looking for her finds her.”
He nods then looks up at me. ‘Alpha, if they want her this badly…”
‘I know. Eventually, they’ll come looking for her. Hopefully when that day comes, she’ll be wearing
my mark. No one will ever take her from me, I’ll kill anyone who tries,‘ I say.
“The pack would too, once they know that she’s our Luna,‘ he says.
We both get lost in our thoughts for a moment, until I hear her sweet, sleepy voice.
“What are those?” my mate asks, looking at the trackers.
Yara
I’m so tired, but my body is extremely uncomfortable, making it impossible to sleep. I must be in some weird position. Did I fall asleep studying again?
When I open my eyes, I remember immediately where I am. I’m in Warren’s pack hospital and I spent more time in one night taking care of injured warriors than I’ve spent in all my days of residency at the hospital.
