In the healing house of Silver, Doctor Gilbert stood in the lab, working on testing different medical chemicals to create an antidote for the Luna's strong wolf suppressant. He had taken blood samples from the Alpha yesterday and still had some preserved ones from the Luna that he could use as a basis for experimentation. The Alpha's blood carried the strongest healing effects, and since she was his mate, as he had quietly worked out, it might be the key to making it work and heal her.
However, for some reason Gilbert could not concentrate on the work, which he knew he should be completing as fast as possible given that the Supreme Alpha was impatient and had firmly ordered him to set everything else aside and focus solely on his wife.
His mind kept drifting to Laila, to the way his usually silent wolf was longing for her like a starved beast, but he refused to give in to it in any way and forced his thoughts back instead to the Alpha's sister's text message from yesterday.
