    The five of us sat in silence until Doctor Lee came out and told us we could go in and see Thomas.


    Mac is lucky he didn’t make a move toe in or I think I would have beaten him into the ground. It’s


    bad enough Anna has brought her boyfriend with her but having him near my sick son too would have


    been a step too far. I stand back in the room and let Anna go to Thomas first. he looks tiny in the single


    hospital bed. He’s covered in blue nkets but I can see the lumps under it that are the tell tale sign he


    has a cast on his leg. The annoying. beep of the heart monitor tells me he’s alive and not as dead as


    he looks, he’s just broken beyond words.


    “How could you let this happen?” Anna whispers as she clutches at his tiny hand.


    “What?” I ask her thinking I heard her wrong.


    “You were meant to be watching him.” Anna says as she hups, she’s crying but with her face turned


    away from me I can’t know for sure.


    “He was with Eliza in the park, he was safe!” I try to defend myself.


    “And where were you?” She stands up andes over to me poking. me in the chest with her finger,


    I’ve never seen her this angry before. “Instead of watching our son you were doing what exactly?


    Drinking yourself to death? Balls deep in your new Luna”?” I grab her by the tops. of her arms and drag


    close to me so we are nose to nose.


    “You don’t speak to me like this.” I say between clenched teeth, “I know you’re hurting right now but


    don’t forget your ce little wolf.”


    “I don’t have a ce anymore and whose fault is that?” She spits back at me, “I can’t wait until


    Jefferson is found, maybe then my son will be safe.”


    “You aren’t taking my son An na!” I say letting her go quickly, I don’t know who this woman is but it’s not


    my sweet little Anna. “This was an ident, an awful ident.”


    “And you’re blind.” She points to Thomas, “if you think this was an ident then you are as blind as


    you are stu pid.”


    “What the hell happened to you?” I ask her confused, I don’t recognise the woman standing in front of


    me.


    “You, you happened.” She says going back to Thom a s’s bedside. “I’d like to be alone with my son


    Alpha.” She spits the word Alpha out like it leaves a bad taste in her mouth.


    “Patrick will be in the hall, don’t do anything stu pid Anna.” I say as I head for the door to give her some


    alone time with Thomas.


    “You do enough of that for the both of us.” She whispers as I leave the


    room.


    “I will be back soon,” I tell Patrick as I close the door to Thoma s’s room. “She doesn’t leave this room.”


    Patrick nods at me as I turn my attention to Mac.


    “You. Come with me.” I say pointing at him.


    “I’m good here, thanks though.” This pis ses me off so I nod at James who grabs Mac by his upper arm


    and drags him out of the chair.


    “It wasn’t a request,” I say as James drags Mac down the hall following me into an empty room. Once


    we are all inside I close the door and lock it.


    “Long time no see Mac.” I say with a smile.


    “You’re Beta has a tight grip,” he says as he rubs the top of his arm.


    “I’m missing something.” James says look between me and Mac.


    “This is Mac, he’s Darryl’s second head warrior.” The Grey Pack is almost double the size of mine so


    he has the need for more warriors. and it’s too much work for one Head Warrior.


    “You knew he wasing?” I shake my head no as James asks this.


    “No but I knew he was with Anna sometimes. How did youe to be here?” I ask Mac.


    “I just got out of the shower when Rick called, she was a mess. There was no way I was letting her


    drive in that condition.” Mac exins as I feel the hairs on the back of my neck go on end.


    “You are meant to be looking out for her not showering in her home.” The thought of this man being


    n*ked in her home has me seeing red.


    “So I shouldn’t be sleeping in her spare bedroom?” I swing my fist and it connects with his fist with a


    satisfying sound, he doesn’t make a move to defend himself. He just rubs at his now red jaw.


    “Why the hell are you sleeping in her house?” That wasn’t part of the n when Darryl filled me in.


    “Because it’s almost winter and even in fur it’s blo ody cold outside. The rogues have already caught


    her scent, I had to kill two of themst night.” Mac tells me as he perches himself on the empty bed.


    “S hit, I knew it wasing but I figured I’d have more time. The bodies?” I know he would have


    disposed of them properly but I still have to ask.


    288 Wouchers


    “One grave, unmarked. There will be more and I can’t guarantee she won’t see them. Last night I was


    lucky, she was in the bath when I scented them.” I nod at him.


    “Her training?” I ask him.


    “It’s harder than you think to train an Omega. They fight differently to us, it’s more men tal than it is


    physical and Anna is starting to reject her wolf.” I close my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose at


    this.


    “You’re meant to be helping with that, giving her another wolf to be around so she can scratch her


    Omega legs.” I tell him before opening my eyes to see James just leaning against the wall watching us.


    I’m sure he’s bursting with questions but he wont demand answers until we are alone.


    “Easier said than done, she was already pushing her down when I got there.” Mac exins, “she’s


    working in a human diner, she couldn’t be further from wolves if she tried.”


    “I’m giving her money.” I whisper, “why is she working?” I look over at James, “check the ounts. See


    what she’s spent.” James just nods and leaves the room.


    “From the stuff in the house she hasn’t touched any money you have given her.” Mac tells me once


    James is gone.


    “She’s too dam n prideful and now she’s hurting. You need to keep an eye on her. She will try to


    withdraw further in on herself, don’t let her.” I tell Mac, I’ve seen Anna go through this kind of


    depression before so I know the signs. “Get her some chocte cake and she will start talking. Actually


    while she’s here go to the bakery and pick up some from there, just tell them it’s for me and they will


    know which one you need.” I’m not worried about poison, after the incidentst time the bakery owner


    got rid of all her produce and I paid for them to

    be reced.


    “And if I see your little Luna?” He asks me standing from the bed.


    “Just ignore her.” I say, waving my hand.


    “You know you smell like her right? Might be why Anna just went off the deep end.” I sniff at myself only


    smelling me and hint of Anna. “Rookie mistake no changing the bedsheets after the deed.”


    I sit down on a chair once he’s gone and just enjoy the silence of the cold dark room. I didn’t even


    consider the bed sheets, they still smell like Anna so I don’t want to get rid of them. I thought her anger


    was all motherly rage but it’s probably part jealousy in smelling Faye on me. I feel my phone vibrate in


    my pocket and pull it out to see Faye’s name, with a roar Iunch the phone at the wall and take


    pleasure in seeing it smash to pieces. I’m so done with this female ruining everything, what if Anna was


    right and Thoma s’s ident wasn’t an ident and Faye had something to do with it. I scrub my


    hands over my face, there’s no way a woman would stoop as low as to hurt a child for a man right?


    ‘Yeah because Faye ispletely sane.’ Leo snarls in my head.
