Talon a sympathetic look.
“It may not be too late. We can still get him to a doctor,” Asch told him.
Fern, who was doing her best to dress the wound, sighed heavily. “Even if they can save him, there’ll be no saving this leg. ” She gave Asch a pointed look. “If you’re going to do something, you better do it soon.”
“Massie County is less than a day from here,” Asch said to Talon. “Do you know anyone there?”
“I have never been to a human territory,” Talon admitted.
Asch wasn’t surprised. It wasn’t uncommon for young wolves born into stable pack to have limited experience with human society. Still, it was damn inconvenient.
He had ordered all of his pack, with the exception of Fern and Caim, to vacate the main room, so it irritated him when he heard footsteps approaching. Scenting Brae, he turned back to arch a brow at her.
From his position near the den entrance, Caim said, “You can tell my mate that we are not gone yet, and if I find out that she was up here—”
“Um, no, it’s not that,” Brae said. She had an anxious look about her, that made Asch immediately alert.
“What’s wrong?”
She swallowed. “Nothing, really, Mila just…” She held up her hands. “She’s always telling me that I rub her back too gently, she tells me that I need to apply pressure with my thumbs and…”
“Brae, is Mila alright?” Asch asked, becoming impatient.
“I think she’s having the pup,” she blurted.
For a moment, Asch drew a complete blank, as if Brae had spoken the words in a foreign language. He kept waiting for the words to make sense, but it wasn’t until Fern was up and holding back an enraged Caim that they finally sank in.
“It’s not due for another month,” Asch said evenly. Through sheer force of will, he remained calm. Caim was not so collected.
“What did you do?” he growled at Brae.
Cowering back, she said, “I don’t…I didn’t…”
“Will you both just shut up?” said Fern. “It’s early, but not unreasonably so. I highly doubt Brae made Mila go into labor with a backrub.” She looked to Brae. “Make yourself useful and get me soap and water, then meet me in her room.” Then, to the others, she said, “There’s nothing more I can do for the boy. He needs a human doctor. You lot need to figure out what you’re doing with him, and do it fast.”
Asch stood as Fern left the room. “Brae, when you’re done, go get River. The two of you are going to take Talon and the boy to town and find a doctor for him. After that, you’ll bring Mila’s doctor back here.”
“What if he doesn’t want to come?”
Caim said, “Then you’ll make him come.”
Brae nodded and skittered away. Asch started towards the passageway and then cocked his head to look back at Caim. “Are you coming?”
Caim averted his eyes. “Someone needs to stay here and watch them. You go.”
Asch stared at him for a mom ent, surprised by his response. Too absorbed in his own, chaotic emotions, Asch didn’t have the time to decipher Caim’s reaction.

Mila never thought that she would be totally okay with a woman sticking half of her hand inside her. After washing up, Fern had ordered Mila to lie down on the furs so that she could ‘check her out’. Mila was moderately relieved that someone competent had arrived, that was, until Fern began talking.
“Yep, your thing is definitely ready,” she said brightly, the wrinkles along the side of her eyes crinkling.
“My ‘ thing’ ?” Mila repeated warily.
“ The hole where the pup comes out,” Fern clarified.
Mila sat up. “Do you have any idea what you’re doing?”
Lotus put a hand on Mila’s arm. “Fern has been bringing pups into the world since before you were born. Relax.”
Mila’s shoulders slu mped and she sighed, putting her hands over her stomach. The pain so far
