you’re safe. I’ll work out the arrangements with the hospital.”
    Lily wasn’t sure what to make of it all. “Where did he go?” She was desperate to hear any news on Phoenix. He was all she could think of.
    “I’m sorry, I can’t say anymore. He just wants you to know that you can rest easy. You’re safe. Nobody can hurt you now.” Hunter sat in the corner chair, and Jett took his position at the door. He spoke with the attendant and then the nurse, informing them that they were private body guards here for her safety after a domestic abuse incident. They were hired to keep her safe. They wouldn’t leave until they were given instructions to do so.  
    It was amazing. Phoenix was protecting her. Even when he left the hospital, he wanted to watch over her. He cared about her as much as she cared about him. It was unspoken, but it was real. He would take care of her, she had no doubt. She just wished he’d come back. She worried about him and what he might do.
    Lily looked at Hunter and knew he could handle whatever came his way. He assured her they were more than capable of handling anything or anybody, and that she could rest easy. Lily thanked them, but she wouldn’t rest easy until she knew Phoenix was back by her side.

Chapter 17 Phoenix
     
    He didn’t have much to go on, but based on the stories he found in the news, it sounded like the asshole survived his fall. Just barely, but he was alive. He wouldn’t be for long. He would see to it. He pulled the man’s full name from the paper and started the search at local hospitals. It didn’t take long to find the man. There weren’t many places around. He was at the very trauma center where he met Lily.  
    He had to be careful. Some of the people that worked there might recognize him. He didn’t know if they’d remember, but someone of his size and presence, and someone that spent time in their safe room...yeah, they might vaguely remember.
    He’d need to find another way in. He’d need to track down exactly where this asshole was, what room he was in, and then bypass the staff that might see his face and know it.
    Phoenix paced while trying to think of ways around the situation; the less people who knew what he planned to do, the better. He couldn’t drag anyone else in. He wouldn’t risk their lives in his vendetta. He didn’t care what happened to him, as long as he knew Lily would be safe forever. He’d sacrifice himself if he had to...whether that meant jail or getting shot by an overly reactive security guard. Whatever it took. Lily would never have to worry again.  
    What he should do was take his time, think things through, and come up with a solid plan. But his primal beast wouldn’t allow it. He wanted the asshole dealt with now . He wanted him to feel more pain than he’d ever felt. He wanted to… Phoenix shook his head. There was no time like the present. Just get in there, find him, and get out.  
    His human thoughts were getting crowded out. His predator wanted to hunt. He wanted to take out the man that hurt his angel. He’d never felt so much vengeance raging inside of him. Nobody would recognize him. They had hundreds of patients. He was only one of many, and that was a long time ago.
    Phoenix walked straight through the front doors and kept his head down. He found the volunteer at the admissions desk and asked for the man’s room, saying he was a good friend. She warned him that in ICU he’d only be allowed one to two visitors at a time, so if somebody was already there, he’d have to wait in the ICU lounge.
    Phoenix gave her a warm smile. “That’s not a problem; I’ll wait as long as I need to. It will be worth the chance to see him.”
    The older lady smiled at the handsome man and gave him directions to the elevators.
    Phoenix thanked the woman for her time, and gave her a schoolboy grin. He could be charming when he wanted to be. The older woman tilted her head and smiled back. She was probably somebody’s
