from the car, cradling her body in my arms, her eyes fluttered and she hazily blinked up at me.

“Wha…?” she mumbled.

“You passed out,” I explained as I carried her through the emergency room doors. “I’m taking you to see a doctor.”

Ella just furrowed her brow, confused.

The hospital staff sprang into action as soon as we entered. A nurse rushed forward with a wheelchair, but I refused to set Ella down, insisting on carrying her myself. They led us to an examination room where a doctor was waiting. Her nametag read, “Evelyn”.

I reluctantly placed Ella on the examination table, but I didn’t step back, remaining by her side as the doctor checked her vitals.

“What happened?” Dr. Evelyn asked as she shone a light into Ella’s eyes.

“She collapsed,” I said. “There was a… commotion, and she just fell. I think she had a panic attack or something.”

The doctor frowned and checked Ella’s pulse. “Do you think it was caused by her condition?”

I blinked. “Her… condition? You mean the panic attack?”

Dr. Evelyn stared at me as if surprised, but before she could answer, Liam rushed in, followed closely by Lilith. His eyes went straight to Ella.

Ella stretched her hand out toward Lilith, who whimpered and rushed forward, clutching it and kissing her knuckles.

“Oh, my dear girl… I’m here…”

“What happened?” Liam demanded, turning to me.

“She fainted,” I said. I didn’t miss the way Liam immediately took Ella’s other hand in his upon hearing this, or the concern etched deep into his brow. It made my wolf bristle with jealousy yet again, but I pushed it down. This wasn’t the time.

Dr. Evelyn continued her examination, asking Ella questions about how she felt, when she’d last eaten, if she’d been drinking. Ella answered everything. Thank the Goddess she hadn’t hit

her head.

After a few minutes, the doctor stepped back with a troubled expression. “Luna Ella, I’m concerned about your condition. It’s getting-”

“I’m feeling much better now,” Ella suddenly interrupted, cutting the doctor off. “Really. It was just the stress and the alcohol. I’m fine.”
