Arric begins purring again that our mate knew we’d come for her, that she trusted that we would find her. Farrah turns back to me.
“She kept calling you ‘my mate’, almost as if she was taunting him. She’s stronger than she looks,” Farrah says with admiration.
“Yes, she is. I am in your debt,” I begin but she shakes her head.
“Your mate asked me why I was helping her. I told her that she saved my life, and it was my turn to save hers. When I was in your pack, I didn’t want to live, but she made a good point. If the Moon Goddess didn’t let me die, then she must have plans for me. I guess your mate was right,” she says, looking at Harold again. I’m beginning to understand why he’s in here.
“My mate usually is,” I say, smiling down at her. Then I look up at Charlie.
“You look like hell. I was going to send you after Simon…”
“T’ll go. You need time with our Luna.”
“Send Haynes. I’m guessing that he’s the one you left in charge of the pack?”
“Yes.”
“Send him. Get home and get some sleep. You need it,” I tell him.
When he doesn’t argue, I know I’m right. Yara would have put him on reserve duty, so I will in her stead. “Do you want me to send a car for you?” he asks.
“Yeah. I don’t want her shifting until her arm is healed and I don’t want to be out there with her alone if Simon, Brady, and Quinton are still out there. Is Quinton still out there?” I ask.
“The short answer is no, but there’s a much longer conversation that we’ll need to have once our Luna is settled. I hope you’ll agree with the decisions I made.”
“I usually do. That’s why you’re my Beta. Get home, get some rest. If you don’t, I’m going to let Yara go at you when she’s back to herself.”
“Oh hell, no. I’m not going toe to toe with our Luna,” he says, making me smile.
“Good, send the car and I’ll see you when you wake up,” I tell him.
“I know you’re feeling protective, Alpha, but the warriors would feel a whole lot better if they could see our Luna before we head home. And then they could spread the word that she’s safe,” he says.
I nod, then look at Harold. “Harold, I’m assuming it’s okay to remain here while we wait for the car?”
“You can wait here as long as you like, Warren. My pack feels almost as strongly about your Luna as yours does. We’ve become much stronger because of her and we’re remaining strong because of our new Beta female.”
“Savannah’s wonderful,” I say, suddenly remembering. I turn back to Charlie. “Bradley?”
“He’s alive, but Noelle is happy to know that Luna Yara can now look at him and make sure she stitched him up properly. The bullet punctured his lung, and it was all new to her, but she did a great job of saving his life.”
“Tell her I’m proud of her,” I say.
“Tell her yourself when you get home,” he says, smiling at me.
“Get out of here,” I say, following him and the others out of the room.
When I walk out of the hospital room and into the waiting room, it’s filled with my warriors.
“How is she, Alpha?” someone asks.
“Exhausted. Charlie is sending a car so we’ll be home soon. He thought you’d want to see her. She’s sleeping now.”
“He hit her,” someone growls and others do as well, but very softly so they don’t wake Yara. It says a lot about my warriors and their love for their Luna that they are managing their anger to let her sleep.
“We’re getting a hunting party ready to go after Simon and hunt him down. Anyone who isn’t exhausted can go. Ifyou are, and you decide to go anyway, you’ll answer to your Luna when you return in the less than exceptional shape she expects you to be in,” I tell him.
They all chuckle, but I see a couple look resolved to not going. These last few days have been trying for the entire pack.
“Bye, Luna.”
“We’re glad you’re safe, Luna.”
“We love you, Luna,” the warriors say softly as they file out of the hospital.
I turn seeing Farrah watching me. She looks at Yara and then back up at me. “I can see why the two of you are mated together. You’re both very strong, but in very different ways. You complement each other.” “We do. People underestimate my mate, but they shouldn’t. She’s a powerhouse of strength, just not in the way that most of us are used to seeing it,” I say.
“Mates should complement each other,” Harold says, and I’m guessing after all she’s been through, Farrah needs a bit of convincing to accept their mate bond. I have faith that Harold will succeed. “T’m going to go find a place to sit in the quiet while we wait for the car,” I tell them.
“I’ll let you know when it’s here. If you need anything else, let me know.”
“Everything that I need is right here,” I say, kissing Yara’s head.
I go back to the hospital room, and sit, getting comfortable and carefully readjusting Yara to make sure she’s comfortable too. Arric begins purring again, and before I know it, I’ve dozed off too.
Yara.
I wake with the smell of teakwood in my nose and the feeling of warm water surrounding my body. I jolt awake, unsure of what’s happening.
“Shhh, we’re both filthy and you smell like Simon. I didn’t want to go to sleep like this, so we’re getting a bath. You can relax, I’ll take care of you,” Warren says. Just the sound of his voice soothes me.
I snuggle closer to him, needing his touch and smell after having been with Simon.
“Are you okay?” I ask him. I can feel the warring emotions inside of him.
He squeezes water over my shoulder, letting it rinse off the smell of the cave that I have on me. That and
the scent of Simon. I don’t even want to know why my body smells like him.
“I should be asking you that. But, I’m better, now that you’re here and safe in my arms,” he says.
I look up at him and when he looks at me, his teeth snap together and he looks away.
