“And the babies are okay?”
“Yes. After she was asleep, we had one of the other healers who specializes in our young check, and they’re both perfectly fine.”
He breathed out a sigh of relief that his whole family was safe. “Can I ask you a question?”
“Certainly.”
Ren looked at the healer. “Why are injuries to the wings so dangerous?”
He shrugged. “I’ve been the military’s main healer for many years and have seen any number of wing injuries. I’ve asked myself that very same question, and the only thing I can conclude is that any sort of power has both a positive and negative aspect. Our wings allow our power to increase, so if they’re damaged, there has to be a downside.”
“She came here because of her wing,” Ren said.
“It would seem that way,” E’lahn said. “She knew time would run out swiftly once the magic leeched into her system.”
“Then I’m glad she opened a portal, and I’m doubly glad she had you at her side when I couldn’t be.”
E’lahn rested his hand on Ren’s shoulder for a moment and then said, “I’ll check in on you later. If you need anything, you can ask one of the helpers.”
“I feel like I’ve said thank you a hundred times today.”
He chuckled. “I’m sure it does.”
E’lahn and Broderik left, and Ren took Kismet’s hand and brought it to his lips. “Sweetheart, I’m so proud of you for taking Stef out. I wish you hadn’t had to face her alone, but I’m so thankful you’re okay. Youandour babies. You’re amazing, and I’m the luckiest wolf on the planet to call you mine. Rest now, Kismet, and I’ll be here when you wake.”
CHAPTEREIGHTEEN
Kismet woke suddenly, a startled gasp in her throat.
“Whoa, sweetheart,” Ren said. “You’re at the healer’s and you’re safe now.”
She turned her head and let out a deep sigh. “Oh, Ren. You’re safe.”
He chuckled. “You bet.”
“What happened?”
“What do you remember?”
She thought back over what she knew. “The other pack showed up, and thatbitchblocked the way into the house. She knocked me off the porch with a board and I fell on my wing. I knew I needed help for my wing before it got too bad, so I opened a portal and she followed me.”
“Your dad said you killed her. I’m so sorry you had to do that.”
Her eyes stung but she blinked away the tears. That female wasn’t deserving of her pity. “Me too. I’d do anything to keep you safe, though.”
His brows rose. “You know that’s my line, right?”
“Well, it’s true for me, too.” Her mind flitted to their babies. “Are Rune and Lily okay?”
“Yes. Broderik had one of other healers check on them and they’re fine.”
She blew out a breath and smiled. “That’s good. So much could have gone wrong, I’m thankful we’re all okay.”
“Trust me, sweetheart, I’m very grateful, too.” Ren called for Broderik, who appeared quickly.
“You’re awake!” the healer said with a smile. “How are you feeling?”
“Not bad. Glad to be alive.”
