I suddenly remembered the worry that had nagged at my mind.I lifted my left arm to wipe the tears away, but that move actually cut through the pain meds they had me on, turning my sobs into a hiss of pain.
“Fuck!”
Linc cupped my cheek.“I should’ve said.Don’t move.”
I wanted to sink into his touch, but I had to know.“Was it true?What you said, about me being pregnant?”
A smile ghosted over his lips.“Yes.We’re at Ell’s hospital.He’s not the only pack member working here, so I was able to let them know.You didn’t have a miscarriage.You’re still pregnant.”
I had feelings about that.I couldn’t sort through them though, not then.“W-where’s Dom?And Ell?Are you lying to me?You’re lying.Are they okay?”
His brow furrowed.“Yes, yes they are.They’re downstairs.The doctor wanted to have them monitored overnight because no one is sure what they were injected with.They’re fine though.”
“Ell got tased.”
He nodded.“They’re monitoring that too.”
“When can I go?—"
The door opened, and Vi walked in.
“Is he awake?”
Linc didn’t move off the bed, didn’t even turn around to greet her.“Yes, Vi, he’s awake, but I don’t think he’s up for whatever this is about.”
She snorted.“I’m sorry to inform you that that’s not an option.”She rounded the bed and leaned against a window on that side of the room.From there, we could look at one another.“You are unusual.In a good way though.You being an omega actually makes you a lot less suspicious than you were.”
Linc’s head turned sharply, and he narrowed his eyes at her.“Let him be.I’m not asking.”
She lifted her hands in surrender.“Calm down.He’s family as far as I’m concerned, and…hmm, he might make me a great-aunt, I guess?Something to think about for another time.We have people coming in to help—that’s what I wanted you to know.If Marcus’s ex gets out of surgery, that’ll be one more person we’ll put behind bars for this.”She shrugged.“We can only hope for one less.”
Linc nodded.“I’m getting Marcus a lawyer.Dom and Ell too.”
“Can’t hurt, but they’re more likely to be witnesses.”
The uneven edges of my cast reminded me of a plastic wrapping, of a sandwich devoured with barely enough time to breathe in between bites.
“There was another werewolf there.He was in the car with me.He was in the road, and Ell got out to talk to him.”
Vi clicked her tongue.“Yeah, that’s another can of worms.”
Linc fussed with a support pillow I now realized was in bed with me for my broken arm.I didn’t know they made special pillows like that.So interesting.I had the urge to look them up and shut out everything else.
Linc touched my unbroken arm.“You don’t have to worry about him.Smith is watching him.”
“They starved him.”
Vi bared her teeth.“Did they.”
“He’s fine now, Marcus.”Linc sounded confident about that, and him being so close to me was good.Him touching me was good.
“Ell and Dom are downstairs?”I asked Vi.
She nodded.“Yup.Ell is still too out of it to be a bad patient, but Dom’s getting there.I think they’ll let him come up sooner rather than later.”
I nodded.I was about ready to ask for them to get me something that would make me sleep when the memories started to come back into focus.
“Did they tell you about Camelot?”
