“I’m going to order her some heavy–duty antibiotics. Do you know if we have any, Erica?” I ask.
“I can check, Luna, but we never ordered the strong stuff. Dr. Stevens…”

“Yeah, I know. He didn’t see a need for it. Okay, we’ll start her on what we have, let me know what that is, and then we need to get an order in today. I’ll talk to Savannah about that.
I can see that Noelle is starting to crash. It’s been a long, exhausting night for her, first thinking she lost her sister, then finding her mate, now helping me with the surgery.
“Why don’t you go check on your sister and then we can find you a room for tonight. I know someone who will be thrilled to at least have you sleep in his floor,” I say to her, making her blush.
She looks up at me. “You seem to think highly of him, Luna.”
“Charlie is a good man and a good Beta from everything I’ve learned about him. He’s true to Warren and therefore, true to me. I don’t think that you could go wrong with a man like that,” I tell her.
“She’s right. Beta Charlie is a good man. I take it he’s your mate?” Erica asks her.
She nods, making Erica smile. “Just like our Alpha, everyone will be glad that he’s found his mate. He’s waited for you, just so you know.”
I see Noelle’s surprise, then her happiness that her mate waited to find her.
“Go see your sister, then go see your mate,” I tell her.
“I don’t know how to find him,” she says, as we make our way out of the room. I lean my head into the waiting room and nod.
“He’s waiting for you,” I say, glancing at Charlie before my eyes move to Warren. He’s waiting for me too.
I watch as he assesses my level of fatigue. I vaguely see Charlie pass in front of me going to check on Noelle.
“Luna,” Savannah says, walking up. She looks at Warren then back at me. “There weren’t any others who were as serious as Farrah. I’ve got the mates of the dead warriors in rooms being monitored. There are a few pups and after talking to Alpha Warren, we decided to keep them here so they could go see their parents if they needed to.”
“Good, that’s good. You need to get some sleep Savannah.”
“You too, Luna. Alpha sent Katie to bed hours ago. Anna is sleeping here, ready to take the first shift when I leave.”
“Yeah, Erica needs to go too,” I say, yawning hugely. The adrenaline is once again draining out of me in a rush. My body is starting to feel heavy and I see Warren stand. Whether he was listening or he feels my body’s exhaustion, I’m not sure.
“How are
you
still on your
feet?” I ask him when he walks over.
He strokes his fingers over my cheek. “I had someone very important to me who was worth staying awake for,” he says softly. “Come on. Time for you and I to get some sleep.”
He scoops me up into his arms and I snuggle against him. The nian really is incredibly strong. I’m not sure I could carry a baby right now and he’s carrying me back to the packhouse.
“When you love someone, they feel light as a feather in your arms,” he murmurs, kissing the side of my head. I’m asleep before he even leaves the hospital.
