When we got back to the female housing, I have Seth follow me to Hana’s room. As with the others, as soon as we enter the room and he smells her scent, he takes a deep breath and his eyes roll back in his head.

“Lay her down for me. Let me take a look at her.” I tell him.

I hear a knock downstairs and one of the guards lets me know that the medics are here. I look at Seth and I can see his stubbornness coming out.

“Seth, I’ll stay here with her. You’ re a mess. You’re still bleeding all over the place. Get downstairs, let them stitch you up and I’ll be here while they look her over.”

He looks down at himself as if he’s just realized he’s injured. “Cover her. I don’t want them looking at her naked body.”

“Fine.” I say, knowing that they will have to uncover her when they look her over.

He passes the medic in the hallway, and I hear him threaten to kill him if he tries to take or mark his mate.

“I’m already mated, Alpha Seth. They only let those of us who are mated near the females.” He says calmly.

I hear Seth moving quickly downstairs. No doubt wanting to hurry his own medical attention up so he can get back to Hana. The medic comes in and nods to me. “I’m going to look her over.”

“No problem, but I told my brother I’d stay here and make sure she’s okay.”
