before they left. “He probably thought the same thing as Bethany, but hopefully she’ll calm him down once she vouches for you.”
I was finally able to sleep once everyone left. The chills had actually gotten better once I had taken the aspirin, so Bolton didn’t have to lay with me.
When I woke back up, it was early afternoon. I still felt groggy and chilled, but I got out of bed, took another quick shower, and went with all of the females to the mall. When they voted on what to do, shopping had been the consensus.
“So,” Bethany said with a sly grin on her face. “Are you girls looking forward to finding your mates?”
“To tell you the truth,” Jenette said shyly. She was one of our wolves. “I really don’t want to find a mate right now. I mean, I’ll be happy if I do, but I mainly came on this trip to be able to travel a bit. I’ve never left the pack territory before.”
“I know what you mean,” Shannon agreed. She was the twin and only other female of Diamondback’s pack. “I want to be able to stay with my brother, so I haven’t really traveled any. He’s happy with no mate. He just goes through humans like there’s no tomorrow . I’m mixed on it. I want a mate, just not right now. I don’t want to be having pups and such. I want to train and fight.”
Bethany gave her a look and she turned to look at another rack of shirts.
“Just you wait, girls.” Becca added. “I’m sure Bethany can vouch for the benefits of having a mate.”
“Yes. It’s like you were never truly whole. Like they are the piece that you never knew was missing in life. No matter how wonderful your life is, it’ll only get better by a thousand percent once you find that one person.”
I had stayed silent and thank goodness, nobody said anything about it. I knew how perfect my mate was. I could only dream of how it would be.
I started sweating and getting extremely tired after a couple of hours, but didn’t want to say anything because the girls were having fun. Luckily, or unlucky for me, Alpha Jackson called and told Bethany that Trent and Nikki had arrived, so we all decided to head back.
I fell asleep in Bethany’s car, but Becca woke me as we pulled up to the pack house. I saw a group of wolves from our pack and theirs standing with Trent, Nikki, and Alpha Jackson, who didn’t look too happy. I got out of the car, but was hit with a wave of dizziness. I held onto the car door until I regained my balance.
Nikki saw me and came running with a smile on her face followed by Trent. I tried not to look at him and just concentrate on Nikki.
She enveloped me in a hug saying she was so happy to see me, but she quickly pulled back looking at me in concern.
“Are you alright? You’re burning up.” She said, her voice laced with concern.
I tried to answer but my tongue felt thick in my mouth and my vision was going dark. As I turned to her , I again lost my balance and began to fall. The last thing I saw was Trent’s amazing blue gray eye s widen in realization, as he caught me, before all fell dark.
Chapter 13
I had the feeling of floating. I knew I was probably being carried, but I felt so spaced out I really didn’t know what was happening around me. I was still shrouded in darkness; the only thing I was aware of was Trent’s voice. I couldn’t decipher anyone else’s or tell what else was being said, but I heard him. His voice, though hard with command , was a balm to my body and soul.
“What do you mean you don’t have a pack doctor?! What kind of pack doesn’t have a damn doctor?!” I heard his angelic voice yelling. It didn’t sound right coming from him. He’d never spoken anything but kind words in the years I had known him.
“Don’t worry; I’ll be moving her as soon as she’s able! We are guests on your land and are supposed to have protection, safety, and security yet you can’t even
