Adam POV As soon as I got back from the hospital, I called Sam and Jack to my office. I told them what I had found when I had seen Doctor Matthews. They agreed his response was a little too convenient. There is no way Jenna’s scent would linger to the level I had smelled it on him. He certainly would not have gotten it from a lab coat that had been in her locker for days. Something was not right with the doctor, and I would find out what it was. We had been watching the doctor for two days now. Two days longer that Jenna is missing. That Jenna could be being abused or used for her healing powers. There was nothing that the doctor did that changed his schedule. He worked long hours at the hospital. Then he went home. That was it. There were no other deviations from where he went. While he was at the hospital, we searched around his home. There were no scents of Jenna coming from the house. Jack had even gone a little rogue on us and e
Adam POV Tim was adamant the Rogue King was holding Jenna at the hospital. I could not imagine him taking a chance keeping her so close to everyone. If she was able to escape, she would be able to find her way quickly. But she had not escaped so far so whatever he was doing or wherever she was being kept prevented her from leaving. It did make sense that he was keeping her there. We had been tracking him for days and he only went between the hospital and his house. He was a creature of habit. Clearly, he had found a secure location to keep Jenna away from everyone else. I just hoped she had not been neglected all this time. We were in my office and Sam was looking up the hospital layout trying to determine where he could be holding her. As we looked over the blueprints, there were two sets Sam had managed to secure. One that ended with the morgue in the basement. We knew it would be too risky for the Rogue King to hold her in that area.
Adam POV As I catch Jenna, I fall with her. Her face is covered in blood. There is not a space that is clear. Blood is running from her eyes, nose, ears, and a small line of blood has started from her mouth. I squeeze her to me trying to give her my strength. I feel tears well up in my eyes. I fear we are too late. I pull her gently into my arms, standing as I do so. I need to get her back to our Pack hospital. I will need to come clean with Doctor Rivers and pray to the Moon Goddess he will know how to help Jenna. I look at my warriors surrounding Doctor Matthews. “Do not kill him; I want him alive!” I yell at them as I run out the door with Jenna. I need to get her help immediately. I trust my warriors and Sam and Jack. They will ensure we have an opportunity to question the Rogue King. And more importantly that we have the chance to torture him as he tortured my mate. Using my wolf speed, I run up the stairs and out the side door
Adam POV It has been three days since we rescued Jenna. Three days of her in a self-induced coma. Her body trying to protect her from more damage. We had hoped she would wake by now. The sparks as I connect with Jenna are still not as strong as they once were. I sat with her holding her day in and day out trying to give her my strength. Trying to give her something of me that would help her fight to come back to us. Her body remained cold no matter how hard we tried to warm it. Me holding her. Warm blankets. Nothing worked. Just cold, damp skin. Doctor Rivers was concerned. The longer she was in a coma, the more worried he became. His fear was that her wolf had gone dormant with the abuse they endured. With her wolf dormant she would basically be rendered human trying to heal at a human’s pace. For a wolf, this was not a good situation and would become more dire as the days progressed. We had been questioning the Rogue King, trying t
Adam POV “I am sure,” I reply to the Rogue King. Regardless of traitors or anyone else, I would ensure Jenna was safe from him. If I had to lose her to save her, I would do that. She was my everything. Turning away from the Rogue King as he laughed at my exit, I make my way back to the Pack house. I grab a shower before heading over to the Pack hospital. Sam and Jack corner me and force me to stop for supper. It had been days since I had sat down for a meal but I was distracted and wanting to go see Jenna. As soon as my last bite was done, I hurried over to the Pack hospital. I needed to get back to her. I needed to talk with Doctor Rivers. I wanted to share what I had learned with him and see what he would recommend to try and help Jenna. As I walked through the hospital doors, I immediately saw Doctor Rivers. He frowns when he sees me. “What happened?” I ask him anxiously. “Nothing, that is what is concerning me,” he re
Adam POV It has been another three days. We have been doing blood transfusions daily and are seeing some improvement. The Rogue King is still adamant that he could heal her faster; however, that is not an option. I will leave no opportunity for him to get his claws further into Jenna. Her warmth was returning and the mildew scent was fading. I could see her eyes moving behind her eyelids and I wondered what was torturing her rest. I could only imagine what she went through while being held captive by the Rogue King. Once she was awake, we would destroy him. Doctor Rivers was reluctant to allow that to happen as he was still unclear of the connection the Rogue King had with Jenna. He did not want to risk further damage getting rid of him before she returned to us. We continued to torture him. We were trying to get a sense of who this other person was who he wanted healed. He had referred to them a few times. As long as they were out the
Jenna POV I looked at Adam with conflict in my eyes. I knew from the look on his face he was uncomfortable with the topic. And surprised I had remembered everything. “When did you remember?” he asks quietly. “When I saw Wendy,” I reply just as quietly. He looks at me not speaking. Not saying a word. “Can you tell me what happened when you were taken?” he asks me. I look down toward the bed. It was difficult to discuss but I knew I had to … for him and for me. “I had finished getting ready and was starting to go towards the door so I could go down to the Luna ceremony,” I start. “Suddenly there was a knock on the door and as I opened it, I saw Tim; he said you had sent him to come and escort me to the ceremony,” I say to him. He interjects, “I did not send him, I sent Stan to get you,” he says. Nodding my head, “I turned around to get something and suddenly I felt a piercing and burning in my neck. I knew immediately it was a mixture o
Adam POV Looking at Jenna I realize she is exhausted. “Of course, I will take you to the Pack house as soon as Doctor Rivers says it is okay,” I assure her. I am worried that she is so afraid. Almost like she does not believe we can keep her safe. “You are safe Jenna, I promise,” I say to her wanting her to believe in our Pack and most importantly believe in me. “I mean I want to go back to my own Pack – the Black Crescent Pack,” she says quietly. My heart sinks. I can only hope this is a temporary thing wanting to be connected to her family. “Of course, I will take you to visit your family,” I start to say before she interrupts me. “No, I want to go home. I need to get away from here, from you, and think about the future,” she says adamantly. I sit there in silence. I do not know what to say. Or how to react. I want to go down to my knees and beg her to stay with me. But I knew this may be an outcome, if she were to gain her memories
