first. You will though. Hang yourself, I mean. A shit weed like you wouldn’t stand a night behind bars.”
    “I could do it.” The man laughed. “You think I’m not tough enough? I got news for you, I’m plenty tough enough.”
    The man stood up and pulled out his dick. Allen had pissed his pants. The man never raped him, but he did talk to him. All night. And when he was let go the next morning, a mistake that Allen had forever been grateful for, he walked out with a new outlook on life. It was the last time he’d ever been behind bars and the last time he’d ever taken any kind of drug or alcohol into his body. But he’d fucked up his relationship with the one person in the world who had ever meant more to him than his parents did. Jack had been and always would be his hero.

Chapter 3
     
    Luke sat in the hall while he waited on Allen. He’d gone in to see his sister about five minutes ago and had not returned yet. The doctor had told him that she could only have a visitor once an hour and only for five minutes. Plus, in order to see her, Allen had had to dress from head to toe in sterile gear. It was a precaution, the doctor had said, as her burns were not that bad. But they didn’t want her to catch anything. Her body was having a hard enough time simply functioning on its own, which anyone could see it wasn’t doing. Allen told him there were enough machines hooked to her that he was sure it was all that was keeping her alive. Luke had held onto Allen as the doctor had told him what his sister had been dealing with since they’d brought her in.
    “She’s got some burns on her cheek and one on her shoulder, but those will heal with minimal scarring. Her lungs are what have us worried. She took in a great deal of smoke trying to save that firefighter.” Luke watched Allen as the doctor explained. “She will have to have treatments for the rest of her life because of the damage, but she will be able to function well enough, so long as she’s careful that she doesn’t get a bad cold or anything. But right now…I’m sorry, son, but right now her chances of recovering are very slim. She’s in a bad way, and though she might recover, I give her only about a three-percent chance.”
    Luke stood up when his legs started to cramp up. He was hungry too. Moving down the hall in the direction that Allen had gone he saw the nurse’s station, but it was empty of anyone. Turning, Luke looked into the glassed in area. He recognized Allen right away. The man sat straighter than his Aunt Mary did at Sunday dinner. But it was the woman in the bed that took his breath away. She was, quite simply, beautiful.
    Even with the bandages on her head, he could see that she had dark hair like Allen’s. Her nose, what he could see of it, was small and button-like. He moved closer to the glass, and was startled when a nurse asked him if she could help.
    “I’m here with Allen Wagner. That’s his sister.” She asked him if he wanted to go in as well and he was nodding before he thought better of it. He was dressed and moving into the room before too many minutes passed, and he stood near Allen.
    “The doctor said I should talk to her. I don’t know what to say, so I’ve been telling her about my week with you.” Allen sounded as if he’d been crying. “She’s going to be all right, isn’t she?”
    Luke nodded, mesmerized by her. When he moved closer to the bed, he nearly backed away again when he caught her scent. He looked at Allen to see if he could smell it too. But, of course, the man was holding his sister’s hand and barely paying any attention to him.
    Christ, she was his mate. Luke reached for his dad, not sure what else to do.
    I just found her. His dad asked him who. My mate. She’s…she might die and I just found her. I don’t know what do to.
    Can you convert her? He told him where she was and what had happened. She’ll be all right, son. And once you convert her over to being your mate, that lung
