Tammy tried to open her eyes, but her body wasn't cooperating. She said to herself, "Girl settle down and try again", and attempted to move her hand. Again nothing happened and her wolf growled and panic started to take over.
Her heart began to beat rapidly and her breathing became labored. Tammy tried to calm her wolf yet nothing seemed to sooth her. And adding to her trepidation, were the words 'Rita go hide our daughter' repeating over and over in her mind. "Who was Rita and who was the daughter she was instructed to hide?"
Drake's head popped up from the security report he was reading when the monitor started going crazy. Despite Anna's best efforts he insisted on staying by Tammy's side until she regained consciousness. He dropped the report on the floor and yelled for Doc.
Drake was still standing by the door yelling when Doc came rushing passed. Doc turned off the monitor, and noticed the terror-stricken look on his Alpha's face. Jake turned and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and stated, "Don't worry Drake. She will be fine."
While checking her vitals he continued speaking, "Remember I gave Tammy a sedative when you brought her to the infirmary six hours ago. "She is attempting to wake up and her body is not responding as she would like. She panicked which set off the monitor. I thought she would sleep through the night , but apparently she is as stubborn as her uncle. I will give her something to counteract the sedative. "
As Jake put a syringe in her IV, Drake's eyes moved from the small woman on the bed to his longtime friend. With apprehension in his voice he asked, "Would you care to repeat that please." Jake began to repeat that Tammy is trying to wake up when Drake shook his head and stated, "Not that part smart-ass the part about Tammy being as stubborn as her Uncle."
Jake started smiling and said, "What you haven't noticed that stubbornness runs in your family? Drake began to growl which prompted Jake to continue. "Relax my friend. I was on my way to tell you that the DNA results were in when I heard you yelling." I ran the test twice to make sure. Tammy's DNA is a match to Damian's. My friend Tammy is your niece."
Drake sat down hard on the chair and tears began to fill his eyes. "I can't believe that she has been alive all these years and we didn't know it. I am a powerful Alpha how could I have not known my niece was still alive."
