needed to in order to help the healing process. “We need him to shift.” She said quietly.
Teagan nodded and then said, “How?”
For once, she was at a loss for what to do. Looking up and staring at the people who had come to wait with Quin and Jaden, she did not know what to do. “Dad?” She whispered, looking at her father helplessly.
Bryan nodded and stepped forward and put his hand on Darien"s shoulder. “Darien, it is time to shift.” He said forcefully allowing his power to flow out of him and surround Darien. She could feel a twinge of reaction from Darien.
Adele stepped forward, laid her hand next to her father, and did the same thing. Once again, she felt a twinge this time a little stronger. Cloe gasped and sobbed loudly.
Teagan reached for her and pulled her into his arms as they watched Quin and Jaden follow her parents. All of the Alphas power was swirling around the table surrounding Darien and she saw the shimmer, then the wolf disappeared and Darien lay in its place.
Rushing forward she ran her hands over her mate, checking all the wounds that littered his body.
“He is running a fever.” She muttered and looked around. “It is up to him now, he has to fight it.”
Quin stepped forward and smiled at her, “If there is one thing that I am sure of, it is that my brother is a fighter. He will be up and healed in no time.” Cloe nodded and turned to Teagan, “We need to make sure the rest of the wounded are taken care of.” She said and looked around.
Teagan nodded and began going from table to table checking on the patients. The doctors had done an amazing job healing the men who had come in. Apparently, word of the retreat had spread because the Pack house was beginning to overflow with members returning from their posts. The women and children from the shelter also flooded the common area looking for their spouses. Thank the Gods that they had not lost any wolves, of the dead that had lain in the field, none of them had belonged to their Pack or the Denver Pack.
Cloe ordered the bodies of the Rogues to the morgue for testing. She still felt like there was something strange about them, but she did not want to say anything until she was sure what she was talking about. They would deal with that later, for now she needed to tend to the Pack.

Cloe and Teagan worked for hours stabilizing the wounded and helped the doctors and nurses monitor them once they were finished. She was exhausted and ready to just fall into her bed, but her mate still lay unconscious. They had moved him to her office, where they had a lot more room and privacy. She leaned back in the chair she had been sitting in, and looked at Teagan who was asleep on the cot next to the bed. She smiled, her mates were safe. Standing quietly she walked out of the room and went to her office.
She was surprised to find her father and mother sitting quietly talking on her couch.
How long had they been here, she wondered. Quin and Jaden had organized their Enforcers to help guard the town. They were still worried the Rogues would return with more wolves and try again.
They had introduced the men they brought with them. She had been a little surprised to find the Beta of the Council Pack, Devon, had come, as well as Gregg, Quin and Darien"s other brother. She wondered how many wolves they left behind considering how many they brought. It was crazy to think about the numbers. The Denver Pack combined with the Council Pack was going to be the largest in the United States.
“Hey baby girl.” Her father said and looked at her with a worried expression on his face.
“How is Darien?”
“Better, the fever to still there but at least he is sleeping peacefully now.” She said wiping her hand over her face. Darien had almost needed to be tied down earlier because of the tremors that had raced through his body.
Adele stood and took her daughter in her arms. Cloe sank into her mother"s embrace, savoring the feeling of comfort
