Whoever alking toward the room had already passed by, and Carol took a relieved breath Attenore the way Ryan heated her to the core and to do her duty as a trained nurse, she wiped away the blood on his arrazed hi capabilities, the wound should heal sufficiently by

Ryan took hold of her free hand and looked into her eyes as if he was ready to analyze her every reaction

"Did you see any visions of this or of anything else?" he asked

Unsure whether he still didn’t believe her, she sighed "No If I had, I would have warned you" She pulled away froht of Rosalind’s call to her, but before that, her mother’s and planned to ask him about both

"By the hy did you call my mother?"

Ryan didn’t look in the least bit sheepish, which surprised her "I called to see if she believed you had psychic abilities after she had sent you to that damned psychiatrist"

"And if she didn’t believe in my talents?"

"I’d tell her what a marvel you are"

She stared at hi up on me, which didn’t bode well"

"What difference does it make if she believes me or not?"

He rested his hands on her hips and pulled her close to his body "Because we’re dating Reave her hope he truly did believe her, and her whole spirit lifted

Before she could ruin the feeling and ask him what he’d said to his sister about her that was not complimentary, Doc Weber opened the door The doctor raised his brows to see Ryan on the exa to hi earlier

She noticed how tired Doc looked, with dark circles under his eyes and his shoulders stooped He was a red from Lelandi’s former pack, here to doctor the patients until they could find a gray But he planned to stay until Lelandi had her babies He’d taken Carol under his wing because she was a nurse, newly turned, and a red like him

Because she’d been turned by one of his former pack, Doc considered Carol like one of his fa, she and Lelandi were like the daughters he’d never had Thattheh, she didn’t receive as many as Carol did

Carol moved a respectable distance froht you were posted here as her bodyguard What happened?" His tone was accusatory What good would Ryan be if he didn’t stay and watch over her?

"To an eye on her while I took after the men By the looks of it, I should have stayed They’re intent on shooting anyone who tries to stop their ht wolf to wolf You probably know them Three reds from Lelandi’s and your former pack?"

The doc peered closely at the wound and shook his head "The men ere left behind were decent sorts None of the like this"

Except North? And the others with hiht and didn’t say anything to Doc, but Carol thought he wanted to How could the men be "decent sorts" when they had taken Carol from the house like they did? And they had to be from Lelandi’s pack No other red pack lived in the area And what about this latest clash with North and Tom?

"Not a silver bullet, anyway So it appears they don’t ood to know" Carol’s tone was filled with relief but concern, too, that this wasn’t ending anyti she’d witnessed at the hospital the previous fall suddenly swaret The doctor had lain dead on the exam-room floor, his nurse just as unresponsive She wasn’t sure what had brought the memory back The attack on Tom maybe Or the one on Ryan since he’d been shot, or both Or the idea that it would happen again and be fatal this time?

Carol turned away quickly as tears filled her eyes, not wanting Doc and Ryan to see her like this--unable to control her e, both in the workplace and around fah any crisis When her sister died, she had helped her parents get through it She had to be resilient when others needed her<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
