Story: Rescued By My Mate

“And there were three of them?” Tucker asks.

“Yeah.”

“No, four,” Dillon interjects. “There was one in the woods. I saw him before the others.”

“Okay, what was he doing?” Tucker asks.

Jensen moves closer, and Dillon lets him rest his hand on her shoulder this time.

“He was watching. It was like…he knew it was going to cause an accident. Like that was the plan,” she says, trailing off.

The men share a worried look.

Tucker clears his throat. “Can you describe the wolves?”

I shrug. “Big. Gray.”

“The one in the woods had yellow eyes. It was creepy,” Dillon says, shuddering at the memory.

Crew’s eyes narrow. “Yellow. You’re sure?”

Dillon nods.

“Okay, that’s helpful. Thanks, ladies,” Tucker says.

“Hope you’re feeling better,” Crew adds before they turn to leave.

“Fuck,” Jensen hisses.

Miles nods. “We’ll be right back.”

“We’ll be outside,” Jensen tells Dillon, who nods distractedly.

“You all right?” I ask once they’re gone.

“Yeah, I just…That wolf gave me the creeps.”

“He sounds like bad news.”

“Maybe we shouldn’t stay here,” she mumbles.

“Miles will keep us safe. We know better than most that bad people are everywhere.”

She nods, frowning as she remembers our past.

“So, what now?”

“Well, we have a few more hours left before visiting hours end. What do you want to do?” I ask.

“Get the hell out of this hospital.”

“I don’t know if I can do that, but I can get us some snacks, and we can watch TV. Maybe come up with a new plan.”

“Sounds good.”

The door opens, and Miles pokes his head in. “You guys all right?”

“Yeah, I was about to go for some snacks.”
