The last thought in my mind before falling asleep yesterday was to tell Jay about Ayla possibly being
underground. Part ofhad wanted to get excavators and just started digging. The sensible part ofknew
that would be a dumb thing to do. Without knowing where to dig, we could hurt Ayla and possibly innocent
bystanders. Or we could just alert David and his new pack that we knew they were hiding underground. Causing
them to cup with a different hiding place. To give credit. where credit was due, from hearing about him and
interacting with him. | would have never been deemed capable of doing something like that.
But when | woke up this morning | was unable to move, | felt hot and shaky, and I noticed my bedding and
pillows were soaked with sweat. It felt like someone had sprinkled glass splinters in every single joint. Making the
pain of moving my heave jelly-like limps excruciating. | panicked, even when | quickly realized this had nothing
to do with how Ayla was feeling. This was just my own body giving up on me.
“Dillion, Gerald, | am so ill | cannot move can you guys cto my room and help me” | mind-linked my best
friends, aware of the fact that | would never make it out of this bed alone.
Like clockwork, they were in the room within three minutes. Where | expected them to pity me, and tease
Gerald even had his arms crossed. | rolled my eyes at them,

“I know, | know, | should have taken better care of myself now, please helpget out of this bed, so | can
shower and make it to my meeting with Jay.” | croaked out, getting my voice above a whisper was a struggle.
“Griff, I love you, but we won't Dillion is going to the meeting as your Beta. And you are finally getting srest.
You've been running yourself to the ground” Gerald stated, like he was the one with the authority here.

“Stop messing around Gerald, | am still your Crown Prince, which makeshigher ranking. You need to do as |
tell you” But even | could hear there was no authority in my voice.
“Ha Ha we thought about that too, technically all I need to do is call the King and ask him what he wants us to
do” Dillion threatened, knowing. very well Mom would panic.
She would force Dad to bringhuntil | was healed, in our pack hospital before lettinggo back to the
BloodMoon pack.
“You would never do that to me, you know what my mother would do” | protested.

man, we both love you, and | don’t know what | would do if it was Colin that was kidnapped, What | do know is
that you and Gerald would wantto take care of myself too” Dillion tried to makesee
reason.
“And not just him and you, what about Fire Cracker, | love her as a sister, our future Luna and future Queen but
when she is mad she scaresa little bit Griff” He chuckled and | knew what he was doing.
Trying to lighten the mood, and make it seem like it would be any day now we would see Ayla again. He was right
she would be so upset withright now if she sawlike this.
“If you feel her pain, she feels yours too so it is not fair on her either you know” Gerald offered sextra
advice.
Gerald was almost soft-spoken, quiet, and reserved, not speaking until he thought things over. Until he was sure
what he was saying. Dillion would blurt out everything trying to make light of every situation to keep our spirits
high. They were both fiercely loyal and protective of the ones they loved. The way they went about it was just
vastly different. And | believe it was what made us such good friends, and it would be what would make them a
good Beta and Gamma as soon as | was King.
“You guys play dirty, | grumbled” as | had to admit defeat.
| quickly told Dillion all about what Lizzy had told me, about Kayla and

and drown Gerald made my bed. Talking toas he did, for a moment | considered not answering just to see
how fast he would crunning in. But | decided against worrying about my best friend like that.
He was right | was feeling incredibly weak, and I should not mess around because if something happened to me
he might not crunning. Thinking | was playing another prank on him. Not to mention the fact that | was
worrying about how sick | was. | should have started my recovery as soon as | woke up, but nothing had changed
since | had woken up. | knew what I had to do, even if | was reluctant to do so. The only thing that madeask
for more help was the thought that Ayla might be suffering even more because of me.
“Gerald, can you please getthe pack doctor, you know Tessie, Ayla’s mom?” | asked Gerald as soon as he
helpedput on my boxers and back into bed.
Gerald walking off to go and get Tessie was the last thing | remembered before | must have drifted back to sleep.
Suddenly | felt the bed’ dip, it was probably Tessie sitting down next toto check up on me. But | was so tired
that | was unable to open my eyes.

“I am sorry Tessie, please giveten more minutes, | am so” | tried to ask her to letget a little more sleep.
| never expected her to stroke my hair, and that’s when the scent hit me. The smell of Ayla invaded my every
sense.
“I'm not Tessie baby, don’t you recognize your mate?” Her voice was so different, but | couldn't care less. All |
needed was her back in my arms. | struggled to wake up to open my eyes. It was like something was wrong, her
scent was a little different, and “baby” was weird too. But it felt as if the fever had boiled my brains and I could
not get them to work properly anymore.
“Shhh, sleep baby | am tired too, let's take a nap together” The voice that claimed to be Ayla cooed at me.
Followed by a warm body snuggling up to me. | opened my arms, ready to finally embrace the love of my life
again. Even her body felt different it was longer and more slender. As the realization of what must be
happening dawned on me, | finally managed to open my eyes. And just
as | noticed it was Hannah who had crawled in bed with me. Dressed in one of my shirts, | had given Ayla to
sleep in. Hannah must have found it somehow and slipped it on. | knew she did it on purpose, and | knew how
this looked. But | had already heard the creaking of the door, and | knew who was about to cinto my room.
“Sorry Griff, | put out one of Ayla’s shi.,” | could tell the exact moment she noticed | was in bed snuggled up to
