completely focused on whatever crisis had brought us here.
His hand wax warm, rough and strong and completely engulfing mine.
For just a moment, I let myself imagine what it would be like if he held my hand because he wanted to, because he felt the same electric
current 1 did every time we touched, not just because he was being protective of his best friend’s little sister.
The fantasy was dangerous and stupid, but I couldn’t stop myself from savoring the warmth of his palm against mine, the way his thumb
brushed unconsciously across my knuckles as we walked.
When we entered the building, it became immediately clear this was some kind of private medical facility that catered specifically to
supernatural beings.
The lobby was elegant and understated, with soft lighting and comfortable seating that looked more like a high–end hotel than a hospital. But underneath the carefully designed normalcy, I could sense the magic and power that hummed through the walls.
I could smell the sharp bite of antiseptic, but underneath it was the faint musk of wolves, the ozone scent that clung to witches, and something else I couldn’t quite identify something old and powerful that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
The staff we passed moved with the fluid grace of predators, and I caught glimpses of tattoos that were probably more than decorative, jewelry that glinted with protective charms, eyes that held flecks of gold or silver that marked them as something other than human.
This was where supernatural beings came when they needed medical care they couldn’t get in the human world, when their injuries were too strange or their physiology too different for regular doctors to handle.
The younger man led us down a hallway lined with rooms that looked more like luxury hotel suites than hospital rooms. The doors were solid oak instead of the standard hospital white, and I could hear the soft hum of climate control systems that were probably doing more
than just regulating temperature.
We stopped in front of one room with the door slightly ajar, and I could hear the steady beep of medical equipment from inside. Tristan squeezed my hand once, a gesture that felt both reassuring and farewell, before letting go and pushing the door open.
When we stepped inside, I froze completely.
