Landon drew in a shaky breath as his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his green gaze frequently shifting to the rear view mirror to watch Lina's condition shift as he sped through three red lights. His phone's GPS showing him the way to the closest pack in Kentucky. He'd luckily chosen to develop relationships with Alpha's around his massive territory and because he'd taken control over half of Colorado  within the last two years his eyes spanned to other states including Kentucky. 

Alpha William of the Buckhorn Pack had been a drinking buddy for years and of course was the first one Landon called to seek aid from.

"Well well if it aint Landon Blackfrost... Ho-"

"Im sorry to bother you... its urgent... My mate and I were attacked by a hunter... he used silver... her reaction to is is bad, Will.. Really bad...." Landon spoke over the speaker phone. 

"You have a mate now? Of course you can come here... I'll have my doc ready... how far are you from us?" Will's voice shifted from its typical southern sass to one of professionalism and seriousness.

"About two hours out... One if I pass every red light I run across... She's dying, Will...We've mated for the past week... if she -" He began to speak but the thought of losing her and any possible children broke his heart.

"Dont think about it... have faith in the Moon, Brother... hurry and keep your eyes on the road... I'll be here..." Will hung up the phone and Landon tossed his phone into the side seat out of frustration.

"Hang in there baby..." His voice begged as he turned into the dirt driveway at a speed most likely to cause any other car to spin out. His eyes shifting to her unconscious yet beautiful face in the rear view. Sweat forming on her brow as she began to tremble. "Fuck..." He breathed out as she threw the car into park and within seconds threw open the side door and pulled her limp body into his arms. Her head falling back against his forearm with a tiny moan of discomfort.

"S...so cold..." Her voice breathed out as she continued to shiver, he pulled her form closer to him in order to keep her as warm as possible. He hadn't had the time to dress her but something told him it wasn't the fact that she was naked that was causing her to shiver.

"WILL!" He shouted as he carried her up onto the porch of the old run down ranch house, The screen door swung open as a man in his mid forties stepped out holding a beer and nodded for him to enter.

"Doc is in the second room down the hall way, I'll have Milly get her some clothes" Will grunted as he spit some of his dip into the bushes outside before hobbling into the house behind him.

Landon shifted sideways to carefully get Zulina into the room and carefully... ever so gently he let her rest upon the bed, his fingers brushing her pale silver locks from her face, some tendrils stained red with her blood. Her lashes fluttered as she looked up at him, her hand reaching up to grab his wrist with a whimper.
