Third-person POV

A couple of days later Wolf had woken up, he had been wondering what had happened when Corba walked in holding a cup of coffee. "Finally you're awake," he said, giving Wolf a smile before handing him a drink of water. 

"What happened?" He asked his best friend. 

"What do you remember?" Corba took a seat before sipping on his coffee. 

"Ah... not much. I remember sitting outside with you and the guys, I saw Trigger come out of the clubhouse and then it all went black" Wolf explained.

Corba nodded his head "You asked if I wanted a beer and you just got to the doors of the club before it exploded. Hawk and the rest of the guys have come up to help as much as they can but it's going to take some time. There is something else I need to tell you..." Corba said as he placed his coffee cup on the little table beside him. "Two of the guys were trapped in the basement"

"Who?" Wolf asked him. 

"Echo and Hatchet…" he sighed  "We're having their funeral in a few days, hopefully, you'll be going," Corba said. Wolf looked down at his tattooed hand as the other was in a sling, he clenched his fist to the point his knuckles turned white. Wolf turned his head when he heard someone knock on the door, Red had walked in with her daughter Lilith. Red kissed Corba when he stood up to greet them and handed Lilith off to him. 

"How are you feeling?" She asked Wolf but he just shrugged his shoulders, turning away to think about losing his brother. After a while Red and Lilith left before a nurse and doctor came in, they checked him out but wanted him to stay in for a while. 

Corba had left soon after and Wolf was sitting alone, he had his tv off and was staring out the window. He couldn't believe that Echo was gone. When Wolf joined the Armoured Beasts Echo was like a mentor for him, even though he was a few years older than Wolf he taught him how to shoot a gun along with playing poker and pool. 

He was always there for Wolf when he had hard days, he was there helping him through his cravings over the years. Now that he was gone, who was Wolf going to turn to... 

As Wolf laid there he wiped his face rid of tears. His hand clenched into a fist once again, he slammed his fist into the bed repeatedly before he grabbed the table and pushed it away from him. The jug of water went everywhere over the floor as the table fell to the floor. Wolf screamed before he started to throw other things at the wall. So much anger was built up from hearing about the explosion that he couldn't help himself. A nurse had rushed into his room and saw what he had done before she called for help. 

As the male nurses came in to help hold Wolf down so they could sedate him, Wolf's eyes rolled back into his head as he started to have a seizure. A nurse slammed her hand down on the button on the wall to call for more help.

Back in Vermont Nova was walking into the rec-centre for her AA meeting, when she took a seat she couldn't see Wolf anywhere. When the meeting started he still hadn't shown up, she thought that maybe he was still away with his club members. After the meeting, she had walked to her car but stopped when she heard her name being called. 

Mel greeted her with a smile but it didn't stay very long. "I'm glad I caught you. The guys are still on their run but I know you have gotten close to Wolf and there is something I need to tell you" Mel says.

"Is everything okay?" Nova asked when she saw no one around. 

"Not really, no. They are in Maine and the charter there had the club blown up. Wolf was hurt and is in hospital but two of the guys had died" Mel sighed as she ran her hand through her hair. 

"But... but Wolf.. his okay?" Mel nodded her head to her question. "Is he still in Maine?" 

"Yeah, they want to keep him there for a while. The girls and I are heading to Maine today to start the funeral arrangements."

"Do.. do you mind if I come?" Nova asked before biting her lip. 

"Not at all, I'm sure Wolf would be happy to see you" Mel smiled and squeezed her hand before saying goodbye. When Nova was in her car, she took a deep breath and let it go before she sobbed. It felt like her heart was breaking. She didn't want to lose another person in her life. Wiping away the tears Nova started her car and drove home to pack a few things into a bag and drove to Maine.
