Page 13 of Rescued By My Mate

One minute, Miles is standing before me, and the next, a giant wolf has taken his place.

“Holy shit!” I shout, wincing as I fall back in my hospital bed.

The giant wolf pads forward. I flinch, my mind flashing back to the accident and the wolves that ran in front of our car.

The wolf whines, nudging my hand.

I take a deep breath. “Okay, I believe you,” I whisper.

A moment later, Miles shifts again. He tugs his clothes back on and returns to my bedside. “So… how about that dinner?”

I gape at him, wondering what the hell I’m supposed to do now.

Miles

“I’ll getus something from the hospital cafeteria. They should still be open.”

I look to Jensen, and he nods, silently letting me know he’ll look out for Mabel while I’m gone.

I know Mabel is still processing now she knows about my wolf. That’s okay. I get it. But I’m not letting her go. My wolf nods in agreement.

“Any allergies I should know about?”

“No.”

I nod. “All right, I’ll be right back.”

Leaving the room, I walk down the hall to the elevator. I check my phone as I wait for the elevator to arrive, seeing a message from Harris. He and Logan drove the ambulance back to the station, and Logan dropped my car off before he went home. I text back a thanks and tuck my phone into my pocket.

I completely forgot about the ambulance. I was so focused on my mate and ensuring she was all right.

I know I have to work fast with Mabel. I have a feeling she’ll be leaving town as soon as she and Dillon get the all-clear from the doctors. I can’t let her leave town. Not without me, anyway.

Plus, the full moon is coming soon,my wolf adds.

I grab a bunch of sandwiches and snacks from the cafeteria and head back to my mate. When I step off the elevator, I see Jensen in the hall and jog over to him.

“Is something wrong?”

He shakes his head. “No, the doctor is examining your mate. I didn’t think you’d want me to see your mate like that, so I gave them some privacy.”

“Thanks, man.”

“So…”

“So.”

“Things went better than I expected when you shifted.”

“She completely freaked out,” I remind him.

“Yeah. Maybe turning into a giant wolf after a car accident involvingthreegiant wolves wasn’t the best idea.”

“Shit. Fuck, I didn’t mean to traumatize her. I only wanted to prove I wasn’t crazy or lying.”

“I know. I didn’t think about it either until I saw her face.”
