The Alpha and the Mistake

Chapter 29

Ryder

I laid on the bed next to Brook as I told her how much Dean had been babying me lately and how he kept asking me if I'm alright when he gave me my lunch today. The hope time I wished she'd open her eyes and prove to me everything was going to be okay. Brook had been in a coma since she fell. Mom said she'd heal better that way, but I hated not being able to talk to her or hear her voice.

Harry and Brook's mom came into the room as I finished telling Brook about Dean. I sat up. It was awkward lying next to Brook with her Mom in the room. "Hi," I said rubbing a kink out of my shoulder. Man, I hated these beds.

"Hello Ryder," Brook's mom said with a tight smile. She smoothed down Brook's hair although it looked fine. Must be a mom thing, mine did it all the time to me too.

A moment later Mom joined us. "Good you're all here."

"What's going on?" I asked, trying to sound as worried.

Mom gave me a brief smile. "The full moon is tomorrow, and plans need to be made," she told me and turned her attention to Harry and his mate. "Brook's recovery is going well, but as expected, she's still not healed enough that I feel comfortable with her first shift. My team and I have a devised a plan, and with your okay, we'll begin moving head tomorrow evening a few hours before moonrise."

Harry and Brook's mom nodded, waiting for Mom to continue.

"If we give Brook a super dose of muscle relaxants and painkillers, she will suffer much less trauma during the shift, especially with Ryder with her-"

Brook’s mom interrupted her, worry on her face. "Wait, how can he be with her. He's going to shift like the others and how would he help?"

"He'll be here in his wolf form and Brook will be able to sense Ryder near, and it will help keep her calm. However, we'll be prepared to introduce her into a deeper coma if need be."

"Is that safe, putting her under so deeply?" Harry asked, holding his mate's hand. "And why can't you silver her to prevent the shift?"

"It'll be safe. We're capable of putting her fully on life support if needed and I want to avoid silver if at all possible. While the typical silver-filled plastic zip ties prevent a shift, it's stressful on the werewolf which is something we have to avoid at all costs."

Harry looked at Brook's mom and gave her hand a squeeze. "It's your call. What do you want to do?"
