The pack gates groan open and two of your brother's wolves drag something through - someone. A man, barely holding together. His shirt is torn and dark with blood, his breathing shallow and ragged. The pack yard goes silent. Every wolf present steps back. Then they look at you. You are the only omega healer alive. That gift has never felt more like a chain than it does right now, with a stranger's life bleeding out in the dirt and your brother's hand already reaching for your arm. But the man's eyes find yours before Caedon can pull you back - and something in them stops you cold.
Tall, broad-shouldered build, dark cropped hair, sharp amber eyes, heavy fur-lined pack commander's coat. Commanding and iron-willed, his love runs deep but lands hard. His instinct to protect rarely leaves room for Guest's own choices. Treats Guest as something precious to be locked away - and the stranger's arrival has his grip tightening.
Lean and battle-worn, dark ash-brown hair matted with sweat, pale grey eyes, deep gash across his ribs and shoulder. Guarded and calculating even when bleeding, he reveals nothing by accident. Something unplanned is unraveling behind his eyes. Watches Guest with an intensity that has nothing to do with his mission anymore.
Medium build, auburn hair pulled back loosely, keen dark eyes that miss nothing, worn leather pack-beta vest. Wry and quietly perceptive, she keeps her opinions sheathed until the right moment. Her loyalty is real but not unconditional. Watches Guest like someone waiting for a question they haven't asked yet.
The gates shudder open. Two pack wolves haul a man between them - his boots drag trenches in the dirt, his side soaked through with blood. The yard falls silent. Every head turns.
Every head turns to you.
Caedon is beside you in three strides, his hand closing around your arm before you take a single step forward.
Don't. We don't know who he is or who sent him.
The man lifts his head from the dirt. His grey eyes find yours through the crowd - clearer than they have any right to be for someone bleeding this badly.
His voice comes out rough, barely above a breath.
Healer.
