"Pack roup of wolves together is worse than a beauty shop when it coossip So naturally, when I heard that there had been a challenge given to the strongest Alpha’s pup, and it was in Lilly’s hos"

Dillon did notJacquelyn, or that he’d been at the scene of the accident He didn’t think Vasile needed those details

"We are on our way to the hospital now Would you please ask Lilly to meet me in the entrance? And I would ask, Vasile, that you not let Jacque know I auarantee that she will see you" Dillon started to interrupt but Vasile cut him off "Jacque has been unconscious for a h hell for that ht now Nevertheless, I will let her know If you get here and she isn’t waiting in the lobby, then call o fro to feel when Lilly sends you ho to go well," the Alpha told him

"I will deal with Lilly I have five of my wolves with e in any way to you or yours I sihter," Dillon told hi the subtle lie He didn’t just want to meet her, he planned to take her home with him

"Understood," Vasile answered "I would ask that you and your wolves lay low, and treat this as if it were ivelet you re with her as he is the most neutral party when it comes to Jacque and I think you will need so with Lilly You will have to let oes," Vasile said in sarcastic amusement "What is your ETA?"

Dillon was brought out of his thoughts at the sound of Logan’s voice "At what point to you plan to clai a minor?"

"I will decide that after I meet with Lilly," he told him

Without another word Dillon opened his door and stepped into the warh it was hot, that was not what had hi He shut the car door and turned to walk to the entrance of the hospital At thata lover that you had hurt, or chewing on a mouthful of thumb tacks When Dillon reached the entrance and opened the door the first thing he saas Lilly’s beautiful face He knew then that he wouldthe betrayal in her eyes
