"Are you sure?" Alex said from behind Victor.
"She lost a lot of blood, she needs a lot of sleep, and she will need a little while to recover."
Chance came over and hugged Katie, trying to control her heart rate. Katie smiled at him, "She is a tough girl."
Lucas sighed, "Can we see her?" he asked but as she went to speak, she saw that Victor had already disappeared.
When they went into the recovery room, they saw Victor leaning over Anna's head whispering into her ear, then kissing her hand. The scene was very touching.
Alex and Lucas had agreed not to upset Ariel and Hannah but were soon found by the she-wolves and were in a lot of trouble for hiding Anna's surgery. Ariel pushed her way over to kiss her daughter glaring at both her mates.
Vincent quietly left the room and went back to the pack-house. Chance followed him out.
"Are you ok?" Chance asked his son.
"Yeah, I'm glad things happened the way they did. I'm lucky I was with Kylie when things went wrong or I wouldn't have been here. I am just relieved that she is ok."
"I was talking about you." Chance said walking with his son.
"No, I am an i***t. I should have listened, realized, but I didn't. Now I have to figure out how to exist without her. Where is Kylie?" he suddenly asked.
"She had to go back, she can't be gone for long." Chance answered.
Vincent nodded, looking off. "I miss her." he finally said.
"I know, you have seemed a little lost lately." Chance said looking at his son. "Maybe you could spend some time with her? Help her?"
"Maybe," he said agreeing.
Kylie appeared as they finished speaking. "Hi dad," she said with a smile. Griffin standing next to her.
"Hi honey, hi Griffin." Chance responded. "She in trouble?" he asked motioning to Kylie.
"Yes, she keeps taking off without me," he said with a growl, looking at her.
"Whatever," she said with a smile. "I'm taking him with us for a while," she said smiling.
"Good call." Chance said with a smile, hugging Vincent and then hugging Kylie. "Take care of each other," he said in a fatherly tone. Then he turned to Griffin, "Take care of them." Griffin nodded and they flashed out.
Several hours later, Victor got everyone to go back to the pack-house and he climbed onto the bed holding Anna as she slept. She nuzzled into him and he felt her breathing settle. He stayed awake all night watching her sleep. He kept having a nagging feeling that something was wrong. He didn't know what, but he could feel a loss. This uncertainty caused him to keep checking on her and hold her tighter. He finally fell asleep as the sun was coming up.
Rosie had been watching from the door, she finally went inside, when she saw Victor fall asleep. Checking on her sister, she leaned over and kissed her forehead and was surprised when Anna opened her eyes.
"Hi," Anna said looking at her sister.
"Are you ok?" she asked uneasily.
"Um-hm" she nodded.
"I'm sorry that I hurt you," she said leaning over and hugging her.
"You didn't mean to," Anna said holding onto her. "Are you ok?"
Rosie shrugged, "I lost him, but he has you." she said trying to look like she was ok with everything. Her eyes lingering on Victor.
"You have something with Vincent though?" Anna asked.
"Yeah." Rosie agreed.
