Chapter 45: Waiting Room

(Cassie POV)

When I left Blue Moon pack in tears a few weeks ago, I never imagined that I would come here. Nor did I imagine that, if I came back, I would come back in the way that I did – in the back of an ambulance, holding Jason’s hand, praying that he would be OK.

Jason’s injuries turned out to be fairly minor, at least in the grand scheme of things. The bullet missed most of his major organs, missing his heart and major arteries by just a few inches. Even though he was going to be fine, the doctors decided to put him in a medically-induced coma for a few days. This would allow his body some additional time to heal.

Danny did not fare as well. The two bullets that hit him had been fired by werewolf council soldiers, and their shots were much more accurate. Danny apparently died on the scene.

I did not know how serious Danny’s injuries were when Aaron and I got into the ambulance with Jason, but I can’t imagine it would have changed my opinion about where I needed to be.
