Chapter 31: Something New
“Get him out of my sight,” Gareth snarled as two of his guards dragged away a scowling Bryson.
His hands clenched into tight fists and rage flooded through his body. All of his anger was directed toward the former Alpha who didn’t understand the meaning of consent. He waited until the door was shut behind them and took a deep breath. He had to stay calm to help Jasmine and Mindie.
Gareth looked at two of his female guards. “Cover them up, please.” He gestured toward Jasmine and Mindie. “We’ll take them to one of my pack’s hospitals.”
Once at the hospital, the doctors took them to separate rooms. Gareth stood in the waiting room, his arms crossed tightly against his strong chest as he stared at the closed doors. When one of his guards offered to wait for news so that he could go home, he simply shook his head. This was where he wanted to be right now.
Where he needed to be.
Mindie was discharged after a quick examination. She walked into the small waiting room looking disheveled and shaken, but otherwise, she seemed alright.
“One of my guards can take you home,” Gareth said kindly and nodded to one of his female guards. He knew that she would be more comfortable in another woman’s presence right now.
“Thank you.” Mindie bowed her head. “When Jasmine wakes up, have her call me, please.”
After another anxious thirty minutes, the lead doctor on Jasmine’s case found Gareth. She was a formidable-looking woman with gray streaks in her tight bun and a no-nonsense attitude. Gareth trusted her immediately.
“Jasmine is going to have to stay the night. She has alcohol poisoning, and we need to observe her and give her fluids,” the doctor informed him. “The drug she ingested also needs time to leave her system naturally. She should be fine in a few days.”
“I’m going to sit with her until her mother arrives,” he said.
