"Decebel, as that about?" Vasile calmly asked his Beta

Decebel averted his eyes in sub out for her You ith Fane, Alina ith Sally and Lilly There was no one but myself to make sure the humans didn’t harm her" Decebels words sounded true to Vasile, but he picked up an underlying emotion that he didn’t think Decebel was even aware of

"Her faet here you can let them take over her care Until then I would ask that you stand outside this door and if the doctor coet any infor Are we clear?"

"I will deal with her faet here We are clear," Decebel responded, his voice e, Beta Keep your wolf under control," Vasile warned

"Yes, Alpha," Decebel answered as he backed up against the wall, folding his ar roo cared for

Vasile turned to walk away Decebel watch hi him shake his head in confusion Decebel was confused as well but he wasn’t in any shape to look too closely at why Just leave it alone Dec, he told himself

"What was that all about?" Fane asked his father as Vasile walked up to hi exactly where Vasile had left hi treated

"Decebel was protecting Jen He felt responsible for her since all the rest of us were elsewhere" Vasile noticed his own voice didn’t sound like he believed what he was saying

"Really? That’s what he said?" Fane asked skeptically

"I don’t knohat to make of it either, but when I ca her, not letting any of the staff near her When they began undressing her he shoved me out of the room," Vasile explained, his brow furrowed, his voice heavy with disbelief even though he had seen it all with his own eyes Fane didn’t kno to respond to that, but he knew he couldn’t worry about it right now because all he could think about was his n of life her breathing and pulse No spunky attitude, no gentle touch He closed his eyes, shutting off his emotions so he could keep his wolf in check

Fane heard Lilly ask as she alking towards the roo her door," Fane told her Lilly’s shoulders slumped and her head fell forward as silent tears fell to the floor Fane walked up to the woht his precious mate into the world and folded her into his eht as if her life depended on it Fane couldn’t help but think it should have been Jacquelyn’s father standing here consoling Lilly, but what had happened wasn’t his fault He and Lilly hadthat he would probably one day have to walk away It still sucked

Finally Lilly pulled back, she looked up into Fane’s face and patted his cheek, "Thank you Fane, thank you," her voice hoarse with eainst the wall across fro room and slid down to the floor, prepared to stay there until the doctor cahter Vasile walked over and knelt down in front of her "Lilly, can you tell me what happened? What do you reainst the wall, looking up at the ceiling, then squeezing her eyes shut She tried to picture herself driving away frootten a call from one of my employees" She told him all about Jeff and the supposed irate custoone when she arrived at the store Then just before she started to tell hi control of the car she remembered the man that Jen had pointed out on the side of the road
