Adam reached out and shook Daniel’s hand. There was no mistaking the sincerity in the other man’s words or the strength in his grip. “What brings you to this side of the mountain?” “Mari told me about Kat. I thought I’d come and see if I could help. How’s she doing?” The other Alpha gave him a worried smile. “Has she always been so…?” “Stubborn? Yeah, but I’ve always liked that about her.” Daniel moved away, leaving Adam to follow as he walked deeper into the compound. “None of us have any clue as to what’s wrong with her, but somehow her body is rejecting the change. Mari told me her theory. Have you come to see if it’s true?” “I’m not so sure how I can help, but I’m going to try. Unless she takes off the minute she knows I’m here. I’m not her favorite person these days.” “She misses you.” Hope blossomed in his chest but he kept his questions to himself. They might have been friends a lifetime ago, but he had no intention of showing weakness to a rival Alpha.
