Chapter 108

“She’s sedated. Doc needs to wake her, but she doesn’t know what’s happening. Colton, you need to know … there’s nothing wrong with her mind.” I point out, coming level with him and resting my hand on his arm as he stares at her, eyes fixed on her face. His breathing is shallow, and the confusion and pain are evident under that furrowed brow and glowing amber eyes. He can’t contain his emotion, so his wolf is showing. He swallows hard, reaches out, and lifts a strand of her hair before brushing it back gently, so carefully like she’s fine china, so fixated on her like this is some dream he doesn’t want to wake from.
“How … where?” His voice breaks, a harsh croak, and Doc keeps his distance to let me be the one to explain. It’s not easy to tell a guy that the father he’s loved all this time is why his mother was imprisoned and put in a coma. I don’t even know how or where to begin, and I hesitate, looking at Doc and mildly panic-stricken for a moment when it comes to me. Doc shrugs and nods as though encouraging me. I think he’s a little intimidated by Colton, to be fair. I mean, he did threaten to kill him three minutes ago.
I don’t need to tell him. I need to show him. It’s the only way I know-how.
