Shock held me in place for only a moment before both Rosemary and I were moving toward him.
“I found her on the road. Her car was upside down,” he babbled, practically sobbing. “Help me.”
I’d never seen my Aunt Alice move so fast. She’d rounded the couch and had her hands on the woman before we’d even crossed the room.
“Rena?” Reese wailed in disbelief.
“Please,” Chance continued. I wasn’t even sure if he knew what he was saying. “Please, you have to help her.”
“I’m helping her,” Alice assured him. “I’m helping her. Carry her into the surgery.”
“She’s hurt,” Chance said, tears running down his face. “She’s hurt really bad.”
“Chauncey,” Alice snapped. “Into the surgery now!”
“I—” He looked down at the woman, his chest heaving. “My mate.”
The words seemed to echo through the room. Even Reese fell silent.
“I cannot carry her,” Alice said, reaching out to grip my brother’s chin in her hand. “So either carry her into the goddamn surgery or Danny will do it.”
Chance lurched into motion just as my father and Ambrose came out of the kitchen at a run.
“Out of the way,” Alice ordered, leading Chance and his mate toward the hospital room.
Ambrose followed, but I stood frozen as they disappeared.
Rosemary’s fingers slid between mine as somewhere behind us, Reese sobbed. Her other arm wrapped around my waist as she leaned into me.
“Holy Gods,” I mumbled, lifting her hand to my lips. I shuddered as I leaned toward her, fear making my lips numb as I whispered in her ear. “Baby, I don’t think she was breathing.”
Rosemary’s head jerked toward me, her eyes filled with horror that matched my own.
The last of my brothers had found his mate, and I was pretty sure he was about to lose her.
