thing she would have ever counted on would be one of the bears coming to save her. And yet, Sawyer had done exactly that. “Greyson…I’m so sorry about Cullen…about your home. If it weren’t for me, none of this would have happened.”
“None of this is your fault.” Greyson pulled her into the safety of his strong arms, as she nestled herself against his broad chest, hoping that her nightmare was finally over. But as all the emotions she’d been trying to keep reined in slipped free, she found it impossible to hold back her quiet sobs, even as Greyson rocked her, kissing the top of her head. “Hush, love… Cullen will be okay—and we can rebuild our home. Make it bigger for our family. And now, the bears are dead, and if Flint wasn’t already, he will be. Your nightmare’s over, Juno.”
Was it really? She wanted to believe it, but couldn’t. Not after all she’d been through—and not if Cullen didn’t survive this. “Please, Greyson…can you call them about Cullen? I need to know he’s okay.”
But before he could make the call, there was a knock at the bedroom door. “May I come in?”
Greyson nodded and got to his feet so the doctor would have room to work, though his absence left Juno desperate to pull him back to her. “Juno, this is Aster. She’s one of our pack members.”
Aster gave Juno a reassuring smile as she set down her bag and crossed to her side. “May I?”
Juno nodded, and Aster proceeded to give her a quick but thorough examination. “Though I’m sure your injuries are painful, you’re a shifter now, and though I could stitch up your wounds, the bleeding has stopped, and you should be healed by morning. As for your baby…it’s still too early to pick up on a heartbeat. That said, there doesn’t seem to be much abdominal injury, and in this case, being so early in the pregnancy likely worked to your advantage.”
“My only real concern was for the baby. The rest…it’ll all heal. I don’t need stitches.” If anything, it’d be the waiting that killed her—not her injuries—since it’d likely be weeks before she knew if the baby was okay. “Thank you for coming by on such short notice.”
“Anytime.” Aster packed her bag and gave Juno a reassuring smile. “If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to call me.”
Once Aster was gone, Greyson put in a call to the doctor who was treating Cullen—though it quickly became clear that Cullen’s injuries were far more severe. By the time Greyson hung up, her tears were unstoppable. “You need to go see him, Greyson.”
He shook his head no, and then sat by her side. “I can’t leave you, Juno.”
Yet Cullen was the only one who mattered at this point, especially when she was on the mend. “You have to go. Please, Greyson…the only reason he’s injured is because of me. I’ll never forgive myself if he doesn’t pull through.” And then it occurred to her . “Actually, I need to come with you. I can try to heal him .”
“You’re in no shape to heal anyone, love.” He shook his head no, but she was already climbing out of bed.
“Do you think Ryder has a shirt I can borrow?” Hers was covered in Flint’s blood and torn to shreds. Each movement was stiff and painful, but it didn’t matter. Not when Cullen’s life hung in the balance.
Ignoring Greyson’s curses, she carefully pulled off her top, as he shook his head and went to grab her something to wear, quickly returning with a flannel shirt that would be easy for her to get into.
“You’re a stubborn woman, Juno.”
“But you still love me, right?” She managed a teasing smile to cover up the stabbing pain she was fighting through.
“Always.” Greyson helped her into the shirt, looking far too worried. “Come on then. The quicker we get you there, the quicker we can get you back, so you can rest and heal.”
Luckily, the ride to where Cullen was being treated was a short one. And though she knew he was in rough
