Enzo took it upon himself to take me directly to the hospital while the others stayed at the packhouse. My heart was racing wildly against my ribcage. I was excited to see Rachel again, but it sounded like she needed to speak with me urgently.

I worried about what it was she needed to tell me.

I stayed quiet for most of the 15-minute car ride, and Enzo was respectful enough to keep quiet as well.

I had a nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach.

We finally reached the hospital and as soon as Enzo parked the car, I quickly got out and rushed to the hospital entrance. He walked behind me in long and casual strides, looking way more put together and certainly calmer than I was.

I already knew which room Rachel was in, so I didn’t need to stop by the front desk. But the nurse at the desk greeted me with a smile when I entered.

I returned the smile, though it was incredibly forced, and I knew it didn’t reach my eyes.

I went to Rachel’s hospital and knocked on the door a couple of times, just in case she was indecent. Enzo stood behind me, crossing his arms across his chest and staring at me with a worried expression.

“I’ll stay out here,” he surprised me by saying, making me turn to face him. “That way you girls can talk.”

I gave him a faint smile as I closed the small gap between us and kissed him gently on the lips. I loved the way he smelled, and I loved the way he tasted. I couldn’t get over how good he made my wolf feel.

“I won’t be long.” I promised him as I turned and entered the room, shutting the door behind me.

I was surprised to see that Raymond wasn’t in the room; I didn’t even see him in the waiting room. I figured he’d be in one place or the other, but he wasn’t. I quickly brushed that thought out of my head as I fixed my attention on Rachel.

She was awake and peering over at me when I entered the room. Her dark straightened hair hung messily around her features and shoulders. It was strange seeing her with no makeup; she was still pretty, but she seemed more ordinary. I noticed that most of her piercings have been removed too.

“Hey…” I managed to say as I stepped toward her bed. I wasn’t good at this kind of thing, so I wasn’t really sure what else to say.

“Hey,” she said in return, sounding much stronger than I anticipated.

“How are you feeling?”

“Bears don’t heal as quickly as wolves,” she said weakly, giving me a small smile. “But I’ll be okay.”

I sighed and sat on the edge of her bed, peering into her dark blue gaze.

“Do you remember what happened?”
