"Where is she!" I shout as soon as I get off of the elevator and onto the emergency floor. Looking left and right, I see frighten faces.

The emergency room is a bit empty as majority of the people here look to be family. A group of people are sitting around a baby that is coughing while another is carrying get well soon balloons. The lightening is high which shows off the light blue wallpaper that compliments the tan border and the tan color furniture. Sniffing the air it smells like death and blood. My heart starts to sink.

Searching the room, I spot a heavy set woman with blonde hair behind a counter with a computer in front of her. Marching to her, she looks at me with wide eyes and smile. Resting my arms on the counter, I wait for her to speak.

"Hi, how may I help you?" She smiles eyes my body.

"Irina Hathaway. I am here to see her. Is she alive? Is she okay?" I blurt not sure what ask or knowing how to contain the need to know about her safety and the baby.

"Ezra, calm down," Rick says coming to my side and laying a hand on my shoulder.

Taking a deep breath, I look at the nurse as she seems to have an annoyed look on her face. Doing a small smile, I try again. "I am here to see Irina Hathaway."

"I am tired of repeating this," I hear the woman say under her breath. "She is in a private room. Nobody is allowed back their unless the person who is in charge of the room says so."

"What?" I ask feeling myself grow angry.

Pushing myself away from the desk, I take another deep breath but this time I catch a scent. Irina's faint scent. Taking a step forward, I catch other scents.

"I can smell her," I say to Rick. Taking another sniff in the air I smell a familiar scent. A scent that makes me sniff again and take a step back. Feeling anger grow through me, I find myself running with Rick behind me.

"Sir? Sir! You can't go back there," the receptionist shouts.

"Alpha what are you doing?" Rick asks coming to my side.

"Sniff the air," I tell him. Doing so, his pupils dilate and he snarls. Is that his scent?" He asks.

"That son of a bitch," I growl as my walk becomes faster.

Noticing the scents growing stronger and stronger, I stop a door with a star on it and beat on the door. Irina's faint scent is behind this door too. "Open this fucking door," I growl.

Hearing shuffling, I notice the people behind the door are talking. Putting my ear on the door I hear whispers.

"Just open the damn door," a female voice says.

"No!" a male voice says with a hint of anger.

"He has the right to come in here he knows Irina's," says another male voice.

"Yeah? Well you don't know him like I do," the angry voice says.

"Stop being a jerk," says the female voice as the door swings open.

Looking at the red hair woman, with puffy eyes, I remember her face. She's Irina's best friend. "Amelia?" I ask looking confused.

She puts her finger to her lips and says "Shhh." She moves back to let me in and my eyes travel right to Irina.

Taking slow walks in, I feel my heart sink. Listening, I hear Irina's faint heartbeat. I look at the tubes hooked up to her, needles in her arm, bandages wrapped around her, and bruises on her face. Taking a small step forward, I make my way to her and feel a small tear fall from the corner of my eyes. Seeing her like this brought pain to my heart,

"What happened?" I ask as I move a strand of hair from her face. Seeing her body unconsciously flinch from my touch, I quickly remove my hand.

"She was in a car wreck," Amelia says coming to my side.

That's right.

"I don't," Amelia says sniffling."I don't know if her baby made it or not." Amelia breaks down in tears as she sits on the bed next to Irina. Thomas rushes to her side and holds her.

"The baby?" I say out loud. "My baby didn't make it?" I feel tears running down my face now but as I think to myself, am I referring to both as my baby? Remembering who is in the room, I allow anger to consume my tears.

"You," I growl as I move from Irina's bed and set my eyes on Noah.

"Ezra, this is not the place to hash this out," Noah says backing away. "But, I can explain."

"Who did it?" I ask stepping closer to him.

"I don't know," he says stepping backwards.

"Who did it?" I ask again as I continue walking towards him.

"Did you not hear what I said?" Noah argues. Back now against the wall, he looks to his left, then his right, and back to me. Noticing a hint of fear on his face, I can tell he is lying and he knows something. Reaching out my hand I grip his neck and slam him against the wall.

"Here we go," Rick says throwing his hands in the air.

"Whoa, hey!" Amelia shouts. She rushes up from the bed but Thomas holds her back. Putting Amelia behind him, he shouts, "What the hell do you guys think you are doing?"

Squeezing his neck, Noah starts to struggle to breath. I notice him trying to say something. Loosening my grip on his throat, I allow him to speak.

"Rumor has it that she is pregnant with," Noah stops and looks at Amelia and Thomas. Noah doesn't say anything which makes me grip his throat harder and slam him against the wall again.

"Hey," Amelia says rushing to me. I feel her arms pull on mine, but I do not budge. "What the hell do you think you are doing while my best friend is laying here, possibly dying!"

As Amelia say those words, I release Noah's neck, and realize that she is right. Looking to Irina, I hear that her faint heartbeat is still beating. Running a hand through my hair and across my face, I take a step back from Noah.

"He know's who hit Irina," I say looking back at Noah with hard eyes.

"What!" Amelia shouts as she rushes to Noah and smacks him. "You blood sucking son of a bitch! You know and your not saying anything?"

Shocked from Amelia's words, I look at her in confusion as Noah is sharing a look of shock of his own. What the hell is going on?

"You remembered, didn't you," Noah says matter of fact. "Damn it I thought you wouldn't be so quick to."

"Not all. Bit's and pieces," Amelia tells him with hard angry eyes. "How do I know you?"

Noah sighs. "You and Irina use to live under the protection of the vampires," he says. "I just so happen to be one of the kings of vampires."

I watch Amelia's eyes go wide.
