Damon's POV
Consciousness creeps back slowly, bringing confusion with it. The world feels hazy, my thoughts scattered like puzzle pieces I cannot fit together. A relentless pounding echoes through my skull.
Wake up, Damon. Our pup needs us now.
Jameson? You are awake?
Yes, but my strength is limited. That doctor woman is working quickly to restore me, just as she promised. You must rise. Aaron is in danger.
What is happening?
The pack faces an assault from Alphas Dean and Deon. Both have invaded the hospital grounds, and our son stands guard over Joseph's mate.
Dorothy? But why? My brain struggles to process this information as I force myself upright. The room tilts dangerously before steadying.
Alpha Joseph positioned him there to keep Aaron from the main battle. He could not have anticipated two Alphas would target his Luna directly.
A mournful howl pierces the air outside, the agonized cry of a wolf whose mate has been torn away forever.
