“I know, | know, | should have taken better care of myself now, please helpget out of this bed, so | can

shower and make it to my meeting with Jay.” | croaked out, getting my voice above a whisper was a struggle.

“Griff, I love you, but we won't Dillion is going to the meeting as your Beta. And you are finally getting srest.

You've been running yourself to the ground” Gerald stated, like he was the one with the authority here.

“Stop messing around Gerald, | am still your Crown Prince, which makeshigher ranking. You need to do as |

tell you” But even | could hear there was no authority in my voice.

“Ha Ha we thought about that too, technically all I need to do is call the King and ask him what he wants us to

do” Dillion threatened, knowing. very well Mom would panic.

She would force Dad to bringhuntil | was healed, in our pack hospital before lettinggo back to the

BloodMoon pack.

“You would never do that to me, you know what my mother would do” | protested.

man, we both love you, and | don’t know what | would do if it was Colin that was kidnapped, What | do know is

that you and Gerald would wantto take care of myself too” Dillion tried to makesee

reason.

“And not just him and you, what about Fire Cracker, | love her as a sister, our future Luna and future Queen but

when she is mad she scaresa little bit Griff” He chuckled and | knew what he was doing.

Trying to lighten the mood, and make it seem like it would be any day now we would see Ayla again. He was right

she would be so upset withright now if she sawlike this.

“If you feel her pain, she feels yours too so it is not fair on her either you know” Gerald offered sextra

advice.

Gerald was almost soft-spoken, quiet, and reserved, not speaking until he thought things over. Until he was sure

what he was saying. Dillion would blurt out everything trying to make light of every situation to keep our spirits

high. They were both fiercely loyal and protective of the ones they loved. The way they went about it was just

vastly different. And | believe it was what made us such good friends, and it would be what would make them a

good Beta and Gamma as soon as | was King.

“You guys play dirty, | grumbled” as | had to admit defeat.

| quickly told Dillion all about what Lizzy had told me, about Kayla and

the probability that Ayla was being kept underground. He reassuredhe would tell Jay all about it. Look into

ways to find her when she was underground and keepupdated. As he left Gerald rana tub so | could get

cleaned up. | barely managed to find the strength to make it to the bathroom. Scared | would fall asleep again

and drown Gerald made my bed. Talking toas he did, for a moment | considered not answering just to see

how fast he would crunning in. But | decided against worrying about my best friend like that.

He was right | was feeling incredibly weak, and I should not mess around because if something happened to me

he might not crunning. Thinking | was playing another prank on him. Not to mention the fact that | was

worrying about how sick | was. | should have started my recovery as soon as | woke up, but nothing had changed

since | had woken up. | knew what I had to do, even if | was reluctant to do so. The only thing that madeask

for more help was the thought that Ayla might be suffering even more because of me.

“Gerald, can you please getthe pack doctor, you know Tessie, Ayla’s mom?” | asked Gerald as soon as he

helpedput on my boxers and back into bed.

Gerald walking off to go and get Tessie was the last thing | remembered before | must have drifted back to sleep.

Suddenly | felt the bed’ dip, it was probably Tessie sitting down next toto check up on me. But | was so tired

that | was unable to open my eyes.

“I am sorry Tessie, please giveten more minutes, | am so” | tried to ask her to letget a little more sleep.

| never expected her to stroke my hair, and that’s when the scent hit me. The smell of Ayla invaded my every

sense.

“I'm not Tessie baby, don’t you recognize your mate?” Her voice was so different, but | couldn't care less. All |

needed was her back in my arms. | struggled to wake up to open my eyes. It was like something was wrong, her

scent was a little different, and “baby” was weird too. But it felt as if the fever had boiled my brains and I could

not get them to work properly anymore.

“Shhh, sleep baby | am tired too, let's take a nap together” The voice that claimed to be Ayla cooed at me.

Followed by a warm body snuggling up to me. | opened my arms, ready to finally embrace the love of my life

again. Even her body felt different it was longer and more slender. As the realization of what must be

happening dawned on me, | finally managed to open my eyes. And just

as | noticed it was Hannah who had crawled in bed with me. Dressed in one of my shirts, | had given Ayla to

sleep in. Hannah must have found it somehow and slipped it on. | knew she did it on purpose, and | knew how

this looked. But | had already heard the creaking of the door, and | knew who was about to cinto my room.

“Sorry Griff, | put out one of Ayla’s shi.,” | could tell the exact moment she noticed | was in bed snuggled up to

I know | should have pushed her out of my bed, | should have her arrested. But it has been so long since | saw
