“Pull into the garage and show Jamie to the emergency shifter’s shower we have after <b>I </b><b>unload </b>everyone else. Just get him warmed up under the dryer for a few minutes before he shifts<b>, </b><b>then </b><b>have </b>him borrow Luke’s or Parker’s clothes until I get him better amodations.<b>” </b>
I speak as I jump out of the mule and make my way around to him. I unzip the rain cover <b>and </b><b>work </b>on getting Madisyn uncurled from around him.
“Maddie. I need you to wait on the porch out of the rain.”
“Okay.”

I zip his door back before getting to Madilyn and Mica. I pick Madilyn up off herp, holding her
in one arm as I reach my other hand out to help Mica. She takes it nervously.
I hold her hand until I’m certain she has her footing and hand Madilyn back to her. She walks
silently up onto the porch, waiting beside Madisyn for me to get to Cole.
“Cole!” I yell his name loudly while trying not to sound cross with him.
“Cole, I need you up. We need to get inside.”
I gently smack the sides of his face. After a solid minute of work I finally see his eyes start to flutter open. I’m surprised to find that he’s in a partial shift but it seems only his eyes are affected by it.
“We need to get you inside, get your clothes off and start warming you up.” I speak forcefully hoping
that his wolf will follow themands.
He struggles to find his coordination and seems to forget how injured he is as he pushes himself up from the seat with his right arm. <b>I </b>gather him into my arms as he yelps and screams from the pain<b>, </b>holding him still until his cries quiet.
“I’m going to move behind you so I can support you getting up the steps. We don’t have far to go.

I make my move swiftly before he can think to fight. <b>I </b>wrap <b>my </b>right arm <b>around </b><b>him </b><b>first</b><b>, </b><b>gently </b>taking his broken arm into my hand holding it still as <b>we </b><b>start </b><b>to </b>walk. He <b>moves </b><b>slowly </b><b>towards </b><b>the </b>porch as Damian slowly pulls away, taking Jamie <b>with </b>him <b>to </b><b>the </b><b>garage</b><b>. </b>
I <b>rub </b>the top of his right hand <b>gently</b>. <b>I’m </b><b>greatly </b><b>concerned </b><b>about </b><b>the </b><b>amount </b><b>of </b><b>swelling </b>he has

A sharp whine <b>and </b>a hard <b>step </b><b>back </b><b>into </b><b>me </b><b>answers </b><b>my </b>question<b>. </b>Despite my touch being light like <b>a </b><b>feather</b><b>, </b>he’s fighting hard <b>to </b>get his arm <b>out </b><b>of </b><b>my </b><b>grip </b>telling me <b>exactly </b>where his pain level is.
“I’m sorry Cole. I wasn’t trying to cause this much pain. I will stop rubbing your hand <b>but </b><b>you </b><b>need </b>to move forward. Don’t fight me.”
I know he can feel my aura as he freezes before continuing onto the porch. I tighten <b>my </b><b>hold </b><b>on </b><b>him </b>as he trips up the three steps but together we manage to get to the top.
“Madisyn, I need you to open the door and hold the screen as we go inside. Shut the door when we’re all in.” I tell her gently as I pause with Cole.
Without a word she opens both doors allowing the inner door to swing in screen to keep it open. Mica walks in first with Madilyn, Cole and I foi! Madisyn bringing up the rear, closing the doors without being reminded.

Everyone is shivering and it’s only as the heat of the house hits me that I realize how nasty this storm truly is. Ordinarily we don’t have to worry about hypothermia at the end of May but this storm seems to have brought some air down from Canada with it.
“Follow the trail of towels towards the bed. I’m going to get some initial temperature readings on all of you before you head back to the medical wing.”
