"Ok, can we pause this little sitcoo you were all, this isher in et it," Sally told hirowled at her

"Just one, all I want is one blasted ho isn’t a bossy, gru as she turned to follow the gurney "Is that too freaking ht she heard adown the hall towards theiven hi with Jacquelyn? Just as he was going to ask Decebel what he knew, the door to the room Jacquelyn was in opened and a short woed She wore her hair short in a practical rief in her life None of that held Fane’s attention as soon as he caught the woman’s scent His head spun around to his father He saw that Vasile’s stare was intent and he too was assessing the air At his father’s barely apparent nod Fane confirht, this wouardian of Jacquelyn Pierce?" the woathered around her As her eyes fell on Vasile, Fane thought he saw a slight recognition in them

Lilly stepped forward, her steps heavy orry and fear"I am her mother Lilly Pierce," she answered

"I’m Dr Cynthia Steele" Lilly’s quick intake of breath did not go unnoticed at the sound of that name After all, it had only been 24 hours since Fane had killed Lucas Steele "I need to discuss your daughter’s condition with you Would you like to go somewhere private?"

Fane let out a lol that had Dr Steele’s head jerking around to look at hio anywhere," Lilly explained, "everyone here is family to Jacque"

Before the doctor could continue Vasile stepped forward "Dr Steele, we need you to be clear with us about everything you know about her condition Do you understand what I a?"

"You don’t have to pull that Alpha crap with me, Vasile Lupei, I knoho you are and I knoho your pup is, considering he killed o," she snapped at him Fane and Decebel tensed at the tone of voice the woh to use on their Alpha Vasile just took it in stride

"You are correct," Vasile confirmed, "my -"

Fane interrupted him "Yes, I killed your brother and I a my mate fro your mate? If she is so protected Fane Lupei, then why is she laid up, burnt to a crisp in my hospital?" Dr Steele’s voice was like a slap in the face

Fane’s eyes were glowing as power lashed around hih it was not in true subhter? We can deal with the olf crap in a ies," Dr Steele told her "Jacque has suffered burns over 65 of her body, ree burns Her right leg is broken in two places below her knee, her hip dislocated, and fraglass had to be pulled out of her arms She is stable at this tiave her for surgery I don’t know that she ake up anytime soon" She paused for ashe continued "I haven’t done anything to her leg, I wanted to wait to see what her body’s healing process is Since she is half wolf she is going to heal faster than a hu I’m not sure, but I orried that if I put pins in it that it would heal too rapidly and those pins would be a hindrance not a help There is one problem that I’m not sure what the outcome of will be"

"What probleiven a huet here I don’t kno her blood will interact with it, or if it will hinder the healing process It’s not so I’ve ever encountered"

By the ti Lilly in her arms Fane had reached out to the wall for support as he felt the air sucked out of hi and his hands shaking at the a to exert to keep his wolf under control

"That isn’t going to be possible until she is transferred to the burn unit," Dr Steele told hiht I need to see led with the need to change

Dr Steele’s jaw tensed briefly but she quickly composed her face "Mate? Don’t you think you both are a little young to be deciding soe what fate has chosen for me She is mine and you will either take me to her or I will tear this hospital apart to find her"

She stood still, defiant, before she finally said, "Fine, follow rabbed Lilly’s hand as he went to follow the doctor, giving her a s room and then walked past the table that he had seen Jacquelyn on when they had forced him out of the room Dr Steele then pushed open another set of double doors bringing thelass so that those who occupied thee round desk in the middle of the room that seemed to serve as what Fane would consider the coh there were tons of smells of sickness, cleaner, worry, he could still pick out the cotton candy fragrance of hisas he followed the path of her scent, no longer worrying about following the doctor’s lead He passed three glass roo in front of hers He slid the door open to her little room and let Lilly step in before him She rushed to Jacquelyn’s bedside and i the hair fro Lilly tihter His as so restless, anxious to be close to theirin her He nearly growled at the idea of waiting even a minute more At last Lilly turned to Fane "Do you want me to step out?" Fane hated to ask that of her, but he needed a few minutes alone with his Luna
