than before. Cynthia is our
woman. We have to claim her.”
    ****
    Kris
watched over Cynthia while she slept. The love he felt for her grew with every
second that passed. Matt had returned to his ranch to deal with more
preparations. They were trying to hold off on changing her until the full moon.
During the height of the full moon the strength of the pack increased. They
hoped the full moon would give Cynthia a higher chance of surviving.
    Her
hand reached out over the bed. Kris caught her palm, and her eyes opened.
    “You’re
watching over me.” She smiled and then fell back to sleep.
    “I’ll
always watch over you.”
    He
held onto her hand during her sleep.
    The
full moon was two weeks away. For some reason Kris didn’t feel she was going to
last that long.
    Leonard
made his way into the room. He’d been shocked by the unity of their packs. All
the men saw Cynthia as their queen.
    “How
is she doing?” Leonard asked, handing him a cup of coffee.
    “Not
good. Can you smell that? I don’t understand it. It’s like there is some force
making her sick.”
    In
one hand he held his coffee. In the other Cynthia’s hand rested.
    Leonard
sat down in the spare chair reserved for Matt. “He’s trying to contact the
alphas in the surrounding area. Matt is doing everything he can to keep her
alive longer.”
    Kris
shook his head. “It doesn’t matter what we do. The days pass, and she’s getting
weaker. I can sense it. She may be able to hold out the two weeks, but what if
her mind is as weak as her body?”
    Putting
the cup on the floor he wiped the tears away.
    “I
can’t do this. I’ve finally found the one, and now she’s going to leave me. I
won’t survive it.”
    His
second put a comforting hand on his back. Kris closed his eyes.
    “None
of us could survive it, Alpha. Cynthia is part of all of us. We won’t let
anything happen to her if we can stop it.”
    His
words offered little comfort.
     
     

Chapter
Nine
     
    The
days passed by. Matt and Kris spent as much time with her as possible. When her
health allowed her she walked around the house with them. They both showed her
around their ranches. The beauty of their homes shocked her. She expected
something rundown or messy. Her men kept a clean work space.
    They
moved in the house with her. She woke one day to find Matt putting away some
shirts. Both of her men seemed to know when she was incapable of fighting the
illness. Several times she’d stared at the phone with Dr. Martin’s number
punched in.
    Her
dreams were filled with wolves. Matt and Kris dominated most of them. In the
dreams she was healthy with a body that wouldn’t fail her. When she woke her
real nightmares began.
    In
the space of a few weeks she’d fallen in love with two men she barely knew. The
thought of leaving them filled her with regret. What if she’d taken the
medication? Would she still be alive?
    No
matter what she thought there was no changing it. This had been her decision to
make.
    She
woke up on the fourth day feeling worse than ever before. Cynthia lay in bed
feeling drained. Her illness was catching up with her, and for the first time since she’d discovered her leukaemia she despised it.
After five years of accepting the inevitable she hated it. She was in love with
two men. The knowledge excited her and frightened her.
    She
heard her men walking around her house. All she wanted to do was go to them,
but her energy was gone.
    Kris
padded back into the bedroom. He wasn’t wearing a stitch of clothing. His cock
lay flaccid as he looked at her. She lay watching him. Kris paused and sniffed
the air. He tended to sniff the air when he was around her.
    Walking
over to the bed he ran his hand over her temple.
    “Something
is wrong,” he said.
    “I’m
tired.” She closed her eyes waiting for sleep to claim her. All she did was
sleep. Her appetite had completely diminished.
    “Matt.”
He yelled the word. She didn’t even have the energy to flinch.
    Her
other man
