Grace smiled in approval and turned to leave the room. As she left, Emily enter. She slowly walked over to me.

"You've got a lot of nerve, coming in here." I muttered.

"How is she?" She asked me, ignoring my comment.

"I don't know, I hope she'll be alright." I replied bitterly towards Emily.

"Have you considered that they're going to come back to finish the job?" She wondered quietly.

"Shut it, blood sucker." I said back to her.

"I found some more information for you." She whispered.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"There is a rogue-." She was cut off.

Henry came in and gave us an update. I stood up as fast as I could and looked at him eagerly.

"Gabriel, Mackenzie is going to be completely back to normal, except for two tiny side effects." He told me.

"What kind of side effects?" I asked him.

"Nightmares will be a huge side effect... and she will probably refuse the marking for a few months.." Henry told me.

"She'll get sick if we delay it too long!" I shouted.

"I'm sorry Gabe, I've done all I can." Henry replied before he and Emily left me and Mackenzie alone.

I let my heart slow down. My mate was sleeping, and I could hear her heart beating. I planted a kiss on her forehead. I saw Emily walk in.

"I left my bag here." She told me awkwardly.

I looked in the hall. No one was there. I grabbed Emily's arm harshly.

"Ow!" She exclaimed.

"What were you trying to say before? And what wouldn't you tell me at your house." I growled.

"Let go of me!" She pleaded.

"No, you need to tell me anything you know that can help her." I hissed.

I heard Rema rush in glare.

"What is she doing here?" I snarled.

"She came with me." Emily muttered.

"Let go of her, mutt!" Rema demanded.

I heard Zeke come in and separate us.

"Emily, you and Rema need to leave. Dalton isn't here, so you have no business being in our territory." Zeke ordered.

I watched the leeches leave before sitting back down on the chair next to Mackenzie. I let out a breath to call myself before brushing a strand of Mackenzie's hair to the side of her face. I heard Mackenzie yawn as her eyelids opened slightly.

Mackenzie's POV

I groggily opened my eyelids and let the light pour into them. Gabe was right over me, I smiled and wrapped my arms around him.

"You're still here?" I inquired.

"I'm here Mack, I'll always be here." He promised.

"How long was I asleep?" I asked.

"A few hours." He said.

"Were you here the entire time?" I asked.

"Of course. I couldn't leave you in here alone." He told me, cupping my cheek in his hand. "I have some good news." He smiled.
