He stiffened at first at my touch but then his arms came around me, holding me gently. His hand moved to my hair, smoothing it down as he whispered.

“You’re safe now… everything is fine.”

We stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity before I heard the handle of the door to the room turn. Ramsey pushed me back as if he had just touched hot coal, adjusting his shirt as the Pack healer and a few nurses

entered the room.

“Alpha!” the healer said as soon as he spotted Ramsey “No one informed me of your presence. Welcome,” he said.

Ramsey cleared his throat, his gaze darting at me for a second before he took the Healer’s outstretched hand. “I had to come see for myself. Thank you for doing your best and bringing her back.”

The healer laughed “It wasn’t me, Alpha. It was all her and the other gentleman that was here, Nathan, right? Anyway, I need to check on the patient and know how she’s feeling.”

The healer came to me, a smile on his face.

“Welcome back, Miss. It’s a good thing you’re awake. Now, your body will heal quickly. Can you tell me your name first?” he asked.

My gaze darted to Ramsey and he shook his head, an indication that I shouldn’t say my name. Anything that would tie me to him, he was avoiding it. I swallowed hard and looked out of the window.

“You can just call me Miss,” I said.

“Great!” He nodded “Can you tell me how you feel?”

I hesitated, trying to think of how I felt now. Aside from the dull ache in my heart from my mate thrusting me away from him like I was some dirty

secret, I felt strangely fine.

fine.”

“That’s normal,” the healer nodded. “You’ve been unconscious for nearly a week. You suffered a Feral attack on your back and the wound was so deep that we thought it wouldn’t heal, given the fact that you have no wolf and…”

“She has a wolf!” Ramsey suddenly said, interrupting the healer. “It must have been startled by the entire attack, traumatized. Isn’t it, Miss?”
