RYKER’S P.O.V

Two things went through my mind at the exact same time. The first was that we needed to get a grip on things and the second was that Camilla had to be suicidal or crazy to think I was letting her within range of the man who looked like death on legs. She started to move before I even realized what was happening. I reached

out to grab her but she was faster than I had accented for. I muttered a small

curse under my breath before following after her. It didn’t take long for me to catch up to her and slide in front of her making her come to a quick halt.

“Where the hell do you think you are going?” I asked crossing my arms over my chest. She tried side stepping me but I was quick to stop her. “I love you, baby, but there is no way in hell you are going to him. He is one foot away from door’s death.”

“If you ask me he is already in,” Juan mumbled alerting us to his presence. Christine jammed her elbow into his side and all he did was smile widely. “I am just saying what we are all thinking.”

“Didn’t you hear what I said about my powers?” she asked and I nodded. “That should explain why I need to see him. There is something about him that is tied to my powers.”

“We don’t even know if he is contagious. Think about yourself and the girls, your lives are more important than finding out about your powers.”

It was a low blow to use our children but if it was the only thing that would get her to sit still then I was willing to do it. She fell silent not saying a word and I felt the air stretch between us as I waited to see her reaction. After a long beat of silence, she sighed. I let out a sigh of relief thinking she was going to drop it especially when she reached out and grabbed my hands.

She gave me a small smile. “I’ll never know until I ask. Besides, if he is contagious, we probably already caught it by now.”

I was too stunned by her words to notice when she slipped her hand out of mine and rushed towards the physician’s office. Christine’s expression mirrored mine but Juan looked… proud? I didn’t have the time to assess his expression as I was chasing after my mate. She effortlessly slipped into the physician’s quarters. I didn’t want to go in just in case whatever that man had was contagious but the truth was, Camilla was right. I muttered enough expletives to make a sailor proud before walking in after her.

He was lying on the bed, he looked to be asleep but every breath he took looked labored. It was as if he were struggling to stay alive. I wasn’t sure why he was still trying. If I were in his position, I probably would have given up. I immediately knew he had something worth
