drove onto a dirt road. Jewel had told him about the shifter hospital but he had never been to it. As they turned down another dirt road Vander could see a pond over to the right and a white Victorian house sitting in a meadow.
“ I know, it’s beautiful,” Jewel said to Vander tightly.
“ It looks like the ones I’ve seen in movies and pictures,” Vander said absently, he knew what his friend was doing but it didn’t change things, she needed to get there faster.
“ Well it should since Doc Morris lived in the Victorian period. He is an old wolf. He can help Waverly,” Jewel replied as they came to a stop in front of the house. A man in a white coat came to the door and opened it as Jewel opened up the back door of the car so Vander could carry his unconscious mate in the house.
When Vander step out of the car with her, Kane reached out his hand and tenderly caressed her head, then cupped her cheek. He leaned forward a nd laid a gentle kiss to her forward and whispered, "Fight to live for us, sweetheart." Kane then raised his head looked at Vander and nodded.
Vander headed toward the house and Kane turned, barking out orders to the men who were already standing guard. He stayed and took care of security while Vander moved quickly through the hospital.
“ Hurry and bring her in,” the man in the white coat said. He looked down at Waverly’s body then shook his head. He looked upset at what they had done to the poor girl.
Vander carried Waverly into a room and laid her on the table. A woman came in dressed in scrubs bringing a blanket over and covered Waverly ’s body up. The doctor listened to her heart then instructed the nurse to bring some wolf’s blood and hook her up to an IV. Vander watched as the doctor worked on Waverly. Jewel had stepped out to make some calls while the doctor worked.
“ What did they do to this poor girl?” the doctor asked.
Vander figured he was talking to him so he answered , “Tortured her. They cut her and let her bleed, then watched as she healed herself. Then cut her over and over again. They beat her to see how her body would take it and then heal herself,” Vander explained sullenly. The doctor looked back at Vander who was shaking with rage.
“ You are her mate?” the doctor claimed. Vander didn’t respond as he watched the doctor place an IV in Waverly’s arm, he just nodded. The nurse glanced back at Vander when he didn’t answer the doctor.
“ Is she going to be okay?” Vander asked.
“ She will live, but being okay is a whole different problem.” Vander understood what the doctor was trying to say. Waverly had been tortured for over a week. Her body would recover but her mind may not.
“ I have contacted the Alpha and he is on his way. Listen, Vander, I know she is your mate but the Alpha will be overly protective and will not want anyone near her for a while. He will place Protectors here so nobody will be able to come in. So don’t feel threatened. It is a protection instinct that will come out of him fiercely,” Jewel said quietly as she stepped back in.
“ Then the Alpha and I will have a chat because he will not keep me from my mate,” Vander all but growled. Jewel smiled as her best friend had actually sounded like an Alpha himself.
Jewel pushed her shoulder into Vander ’s shoulder playing with him. Vander had to smile back at Jewel. She always knew how to cheer him up and make him smile. Jewel leaned toward Vander again smelling in the air near him. “I smell Kane on you.” Jewel grinned sheepishly as Vander blushed from her teasing. He wasn’t used to explaining about having sex with a man. A woman, it never affected him to talk about, but a man was a different beast all together. Vander always considered himself an open person but he never was attracted to a man until Kane. Kane turned his life upside down and now the way he felt about Waverly, he
