Slumping back on the pillows, she closed her eyes, intending to rest her heavy lids for just a moment. She must have dozed off, because it felt like only seconds had passed before Braxton and Blayk were in the room.
    “I’m going to give you another shot for the pain, Rochelle, but you have to stay here and rest. You’re going to feel weak for a few days. You lost quite a bit of blood, honey.”
    She jumped when she heard a growl and looked over at Braxton. He was glaring at Blayk as if he wanted to pound on him. What the hell is he pissed about? Maybe he doesn’t want me here after all.
    “Um, thanks, but I should be going,” she said and tried to hide her wince as the needle slid into her upper arm.
    “You can’t drive with the use of only one arm, Rochelle. And I can’t let you leave since I am now your doctor. Just let Braxton and his brothers take good care of you.”
    Rochelle wanted to argue, but she could already feel the pain medication working its way through her bloodstream. The floating feeling was so nice, and the pain in her arm began to lessen. Giving in, she closed her heavy eyelids and slept.

    Braxton watched Rochelle sleep the day away. He couldn’t bring himself to leave her alone, so he’d had Cindy bring up lunch and drinks. There was a jug of water and a glass sitting on the bedside table, ready for his mate once she woke. Glancing at the clock, he sighed with relief. Jarrod and Malcolm should be home any minute. He was going to need them at his side when they tried to convince their mate to stay.
    He knew as soon as she opened her eyes she was going to want to try to leave. After pondering how to deal with a recalcitrant mate all day, he had decided honesty was the best policy. His ears pricked up when he heard his brothers coming up the stairs, just as his mate sighed and began to surface. Perfect timing!
    Braxton poured a glass of water, ready to ease his mate’s dry mouth as he watched her breathing change. She was so fucking gorgeous, and he’d been struggling with his wolf all day long. He was definitely going to have to go for a run later tonight. Hopefully by letting his beast run free and take control for a while, he wouldn’t have such a hard time with his dominance over his inner animal.
    She opened her eyes, and even though they were glazed from sleep, he felt as if he was drowning in her depths. A shiver raced up his spine, raising the hair on his nape. But that wasn’t the only thing to twitch with desire. His cock jerked and filled with blood until his erection was pushing against the zipper of his pants.
    He sat down on the side of the bed, slipped an arm beneath her neck and shoulders, and held the glass to her lips. She closed her eyes and sipped until she’d had her fill. Just as he placed the glass back on the bedside table, his brothers entered the room.
    “How are you feeling, baby?” Jarrod came over to the bed.
    “Fine, thank you.”
    “Glad to hear it,” he replied and turned to look at Braxton.
    “How is she really?” he asked through their mind link.
    “Our little mate is very tired. She woke up in a lot of pain, so I called Blayk and he gave her another shot of painkillers.”
    “Good,” Malcolm said from his position against the far wall. “She hasn’t said anything about staying?”
    “She’s been asleep all day,” Braxton answered. “But Blayk told her she had to rest for a few days. I don’t know if she will though. I think we should tell her what we are and what she is to us.”
    “I don’t know if that’s a good idea. She may think we are crazy and take off,” Jarrod replied.
    “How the hell else are we going to make her stay?”
    “Our mate needs to get to know us better before we tell her about us.”
    “Okay, agreed. But we have to talk her into staying until she’s fully recovered. That will give us about six days for her to get to know us,” Braxton stated.
    “What are you doing?” Rochelle asked, drawing
