I m going to relieve you of duties until we can get this straightened out. I want you to know this
has no bearing on your skills as a doctor. The mink shifter gripped Andrew s shoulder. We ve been
happy to have you.
He didn t know how much of that was true. Henrickson had never seemed particularly pleased
with Andrew, but he appreciated the thought.
I understand. No problem. Andrew knew he d do the same thing if he had to run a hospital.
Luckily he didn t work there for the money, but to help the local shifters out.
The administrator s support at this time of crisis meant a lot to him. He turned to head out of the
hospital.
Andrew!
He spun around to face Henrickson. What?
You re a good doctor. Don t let her stop you from practicing. Once you get her chased out of
town, come back.
Thanks. I will.
He nodded to Henrickson then turned and dialled his phone.
Hello?
Lou, it s Andrew.
What s up?
The tension in the sheriff s voice had him rushing to get to the point. If you can get away now,
James needs you.
What happened?
His mother is in town.
A long silence stretched between them.
I m on my way.
Lou disconnected. The bear wasn t known for his communication skills. Still, the fact he
dropped everything to come to James proved to Andrew that at least his son had chosen well. A lion
and a bear wasn t a pair he would ve imagined together, but it worked for them. He d never seen his
son so happy.
Andrew began to head to his place, but he remembered the wrens were taking James to the pride
house. Maybe he should go talk to the lion alpha instead of calling. They had a lot to discuss. Andrew
trusted Talan like he trusted few people. The lion shifter always had his pride s best interests at
heart. James might not live at the pack house with the lions, but he was in Talan s territory and
Andrew knew the alpha considered James one of his pride members.
Ten minutes later, he pulled up to the mansion. From the array of lions sprawled across the
porch, it must be after-breakfast naptime. With the addition of new lions in town, the felines often
spent time bonding in a mass catnap. Andrew didn t know how many now belonged to the pride, but
overall the group appeared to get along. Talan led with a firm but fair fist and no one crossed his
wolf mate, Adrian. The smallish shifter had poisonous claws that he was more than willing to use to
protect his people.
Andrew almost wished Juliet would foolishly come to visit Talan. She d quickly have her tail
tucked between her legs and run out of town. He picked his way towards the largest lion with a
mighty mane and reached out to touch one flickering ear.
I wouldn t do that.
Andrew jerked his hand back and spun around to meet the amused eyes of Talan s mate, Adrian.
You wouldn t?
Adrian shook his head. Lions get cranky if you interrupt their nap. They tend to bite off hands
first, ask questions later. Come inside you can talk to him after the king of the jungle has his nap.
A few snorts from the other lions proved that not all of them were sound asleep.
Adrian cast the group a fond look before turning on his heel and going inside. Andrew followed
the wolf shifter to the kitchen only to find Chen and Marlen sitting on a bar stool and licking a bowl of
chocolate batter. Their faces were smeared and their fingers appeared slightly sticky.
Boys. They had never looked so much like naughty children as they did at that moment.
Andrew couldn t help but smile at them. His heart ached with emotion he couldn t contain. Something
must ve shown in eyes because both of the wren shifters stood and approached him.
Have a taste. Chen held up his finger, his eyes challenging Andrew to refuse.
Andrew kept eye contact with the wren shifter. He wrapped his fingers around Chen s wrist to
hold him still. Leaning forward, he lapped at the sticky digit, the taste of bittersweet chocolate, cream
and warm male sliding across his tongue in a decadent swirl of flavour. The underlying taste of
Chen s flesh on his taste buds twisted his gut with need like a starving man stumbling across the
perfect buffet of treats.
He lifted his mouth away from temptation, before he slammed the wren shifter against the [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
