We didn’t end on a good note either.
I sit up, go to my suitcase take out some clothing, and take a quick shower before getting dressed and
making my way to the children’s
room.
I sit on the floor between the two beds, leaning my head against Zion’s bed as I watch Sia, her
breathing is more laboured than Zion’s.
Gerard has an antidote…
I know Valerie has already made arrangements for equipment to be brought here so she can begin her
research, but the fact he has that answer in his grasp.
I’ll talk to Aran. He has to understand for his grandchildren, right? Only will he still consider them his
when he has practically disowned
Sebastian?
It’s complicated.
I’ll talk to Aran first thing in the morning and get B astian out of prison.
Setting my alarm for bright and early, I close my eyes, hoping to get some sleep…
I look down at the man on the bed. The sun is shining through the window of the hospital room.
Gerard King…
Anger flits through me as I glare at him with hatred I’ve never felt so strongly before.

He is no longer h ooked up to any machine and although he hasn’t awoken; I feel he has healed faster
than a human. I did study medicine a little and although I didn’t pursue it like Valerie, there are things I
know.
“Put him in isolation in the prison facility. He is not critical anymore. I want him monitored throughout
the day and night. No one is to visit him aside from the medical staff.” I say firmly, motioning for the
guards.
“Alpha! As the head doctor, I can’t allow you to do that. He isn’t in good enough condition-”
“I don’t care!” I snarl, my eyes blazing. “He’s going to be locked up! He is the reason my daughter’s
health is so fragile!” My voice rings in the room, making the guards and the doctor fall silent.
I exhale slowly as the doctor lowers his head.
“Is that why Alpha Sebastian attacked him?” he asks.
I look down.
How do I tell them it’s more complicated than that?
“Everything will be explained soon.” I say quietly, “For now, have him. locked up. The nurses and
doctors may continue to do their checks hourly, however make sure you are constantly supervised.
This mant cannot be trusted, and he is capable of anything.”
“Yes, Alpha!”
Giving them a nod of approval, I head out of the hospital with my guards.
“Any update on Gaspard?” I ask Jai who is with me.
“No, nothing. He’s gone. I’ve sent out an arrest warrant for him and if anyone from our allied packs
sees him, they will report it.” Justin

says.
“Excellent. Let Mr. Aran King know that you would like a word with him. Don’t mention me, or he will
refuse.”
“Understood.” He doesn’t question me as he takes his phone out and walks a little away.
“Take Sebastian’s food and just fill him in on the latest happening, please?” I say to Jai, stopping in
front of him. “But not what we discussed this morning. I’ll talk to him myself.”
I had filled both him and Valerie in over breakfast.
He nods. “Take it easy. None of us want you to be worn out,” he says before wrapping his arms around
me and giving me a tight hug. I hug him back for a moment.
“I know, thank you. Anything from Dad? Or those watching Mom?” I ask quietly.
“Nothing as of yet. Your mom hasn’t left the house.”
“Has anyone checked on her?” I ask, feeling worried.
“The staff is in and out and they have taken groceries, so I’m presuming things are good.”
“Still tell Dad to check up on her if he can.”
“She is still your mother, and I know you care. Why not give her a call?” Jai suggests, quietly patting my
cheeks.
I roll my eyes. “I know. I just don’t know what to say to her right now.” I say as Justin walks over to us.
“He has agreed to see me in half an hour.”
“Thank you, then that is where I will be.”
“I want to come with you,” Jai says.

“No, you need to head home. I have Justin here, we’ll be ok,” I say firmly.
He nods. “Alright, Valerie needs help to set up her equipment, anyway.”
“And how is her walking going? I don’t want her overexerting herself?” I ask, feeling awful that I have
barely helped her.
“Great, she’s doing good, and you’re one to talk about overexerting oneself. Once Sebastian is out of
prison, we need to literally celebrate, and I mean properly. Over drinks and food, just us, deal?” he
says.
I smile softly.
Oh, that is a day I’d love to see. I miss those days.
I nod.
“I promise. I hope that day is soon.”
“We’ve got this,” Jai says, giving me the thumbs up before he walks
off.
I watch as Gerard’s bed is wheeled out of his room and pushed past me. There are two guards and the
masked male nurse in scrubs nods at me, and for a fraction of a second, our eyes meet.
I almost smile wryly as I turn away.
Piercing blue eyes… and there was a time I only thought Sebastian’s were that intense blue.
I glance over my shoulder as they disappear down the hallway and shake my head. Time to get this
meeting with Aran, over with.
