Frome awake with the scent of cinnamon and nutmeg flooding my nose. My mind is struggling to remember where I and what happened and then, all of a sudden, it comes flooding back. I met her, my mate. Yara.

I jolt, ready to sit up quickly, to make sure she’s still here, but Arric holds me steady.

“Easy, Warren: You’ll wake her up, he says, practically purring in my mind.

I open my eyes and see her with her head on the edge of my bed. fast asleep. Whether it is Arric or just my instincts, my hand is in her hair, gently rubbing her head while she sleeps.

She’s sitting in a chair, leaned over the bed, and she looks terrible uncomfortable. I look down at my leg and realize that she must have finished putting my bones together while I was asleep, having also sewn my leg closed and wrapped it in bandages.

“Thanks, Arric. You’re the best, I tell my wolf and it’s true. I’d be dead, hundreds of times over, if it wasn’t for the strength of my wolf

Brady is only one of several. I also have Quinton and Thomas fighting against me nearly once a week and then there’s Simon. Alpha Solomon wasn’t the kind of man to fight a war just because he enjoyed fighting and I had never given him a reason to fight. However, his son is a completely different story. Simon’s an idiot who has more brawns than brain. He likes to fight and he enjoys the kill. We’ll have to be more careful now when we run through the general areas between the pack lands. Simon is one who will set booby traps, just so he can watch someone die a slow death. He’s worse than Brady.

I look down at my mate. At least I have her now. The likelihood of my pack surviving, even in these war–ridden times, just increased. It’s another reason I can’t let her go. She’s too valuable as a doctor, but as my mate, she’s irreplaceable.
