"Who are you?" I came awake with a jerk, disoriented and aching all over. 
A heavy male body lay beside me---we were both naked except for the sheet covering our bodies. 

I searched my memories of the night before, trying to figure out how I had gotten here while attempting to wrap the sheet around my body. I stopped when I realized I'd leave my bed partner totally nude.

I remembered myself saying over and over, "I'm your mate!"

I eased myself off the bed to look for clothes. I tried to be as quiet as I could so I didn't wake up the stranger. 

His scent was all over me, all over everything really. Rich and masculine, every time I breathed I felt as if I was being surrounded by the forest with hints of wood and a warm spice I couldn't name. I wanted to crawl back into bed beside him and never leave.

My wolf, Rayne, grumbled in my head, "We shouldn't leave! He is our mate!"

"Do you think he'll be able to help? Save Ethan, I mean?" 


My words came out mumbled and murmured because my lips felt numb. 


Honestly, the numbness was spreading from my lips to my cheeks, my scalp, down my neck, and on and on until I felt as if I were an ice sculpture frozen in place by nameless fear. A ringing sound was echoing in my ears and only got louder the longer it took to get a reply.


Both Alphas with me seemed to want to do anything other than speak to me; Lindy Campbell was silently crying while clutching Nathan's hand with both hers as if she could hold him in place if she only tried hard enough. 


I realized I wanted to slap the girl only when Tyler squeezed my wrist.


I didn't even remember raising my hand. All I could think about were the words 'extraordinary measures' and how Art Windsor was gone off to play savior for my brother while I was able to do nothing.
