I had a shift to work tonight! I couldn’t afford to be sick. Too many people depended on me to keep going, so whatever this was could just fuck off. I didn’t have time for this.

Too bad my body wasn’t on the same page as my brain. The room started to spin, but I didn’t think I was moving. My vision darkened, and squeezed my legs around the cool metal pole when my hands started to fail me.

“Sienna?” Valentina’s voice sounded far away.

“Yesss?” The word sounded off, slurred and almost indistinguishable. I was taken over by a wave of weakness, and that was when I lost my grip on the pole.

“Sienna!”

A hard cracking sound filled the air as pain exploded in my shoulder and head, then there was nothing but darkness.

NASH

I was in the middle of talking to my brother when my phone rang, and my brow furrowed.Who could be calling?Yuri was at work with King, and River had been asleep when I left the house since they’d worked the closing shift last night. Sienna’s class wasn’t out for another half an hour… Maybe they’d let out early?

“Hello?” I answered right before the last ring.

“Nash! Thank fuck.” The woman’s voice cracked before she cleared her throat.Hazel.

“Hazel?! What’s wrong?” I asked, immediately on edge thanks to the panic in her voice. Beside me, Bane tensed, and he pushed his newly opened bottle of beer away from him.

“It’s Sienna! She— She—” Hazel stuttered, then I heard some shuffling on the other end of the line before Eliza’s calm voice took over. I immediately switched the call to speakerphone so Bane could hear as well.

“Sienna passed out during class,” the omega said matter of factly. “She fell onto the floor, and it looks like she hurt her shoulder. Paramedics just arrived, and they’re taking her to the hospital.”

“Which one?” I growled, desperately trying to keep my emotions in check. My brother would probably play off my cues. I needed to be calm so that he could remain calm as well. He had a major soft spot for Sienna, which made him almost as vulnerable in this situation as I was.

“University,” she replied. “I need to call—”

“I’m here, Sunshine,” Bane interrupted softly. “I’ll tell Loki, and we’ll be there when you arrive or soon after.”

“Good. I’ll call Hazel’s pack next because she seems to be on the verge of a panic attack.”

Click.

My mind was racing. What the hell was going on? What the fuck had happened? I was glad Eliza had her shit together because I felt frozen. My mind and heart were anything but calm.

“Nash, give me your keys. I’ll drive the truck, so you can call your pack on the way. I just messaged Loki about what’s going on.” Bane grabbed me by the jacket and dragged me along after him while I dug around for my truck keys.

“Thanks,” I told him roughly as I handed over the keys. Just as I was about to call Yuri, River’s name flashed on my screen.

“Nash, where the hell is everyone?”

“Sienna passed out and fell during her class,” I told them grimly. “She’s on the way to University.”

“What?!” River asked, their voice so cold the hair on the back of my neck stood up.

“I just found out. Hazel called,” I explained, but the call had ended.Fuck, that’s not good.

I knew there was no point in calling River back, so I tried Yuri. The alpha answered on the first ring. “Nash?”

“I’m on my way to University. Sienna passed out in class, so an ambulance is taking her in,” I told him, desperately needing to get to the point. “I told River, and they seem—”

“I’ll get King. Try to keep River in line until we get there.” His voice was tight with concern.

“What—” I attempted to ask, but Yuri hung up. “This is going to be fun?”
