procedure is a medical miracle, and I’m sure they’re not going to just walk away because Heaven is gone.” The doctor warned.
    “Let them try.” Murdock growled.
    “I’m going to go work on Heaven’s blood samples. Let him rest.” Heaven watched as Murdock closed the door behind the doctor. It felt like he was looking through someone else’s eyes. None of this was real. Why had they done this to him? Why would they do it? It made absolutely no sense to him.
    “Do you need anything?”
    Heaven shook his head at Murdock, but his mind was screaming that he needed his own body back the way it was before. Murdock lay down next to him, and Heaven scooted into his arms. What he needed right now was an anchor to reality, and Murdock gave him that sense of security. “I’m scared.”
    “I know, baby. We’ll get through this.” Murdock ran his hand through Heaven’s hair. “You still owe me a haircut.”
    “I do?”
    Murdock chuckled. “Yes, you do.”

    Heaven snuggled closer, racking his brain to try and remember this caring man. It was frustrating to reach into the fog and come up blank.
    Heaven sighed as he nestled his face in the crook of Murdock’s neck. He may not remember the man, but he was grateful to have him.
    Murdock began to hum as Heaven’s eyes grew heavy. His mate rocked him gently as sleep tugged at him to succumb to it. Murdock stopped humming.
    “I would have sacrificed my beating heart to have you back in my arms,” he confessed in to Heaven’s hair. Murdock began to hum again.

    “I agree he’s an arrogant asshole, but would it hurt to have the added protection with everything happening lately?” Murdock argued his point to Maverick.
    “While I agree with you that having extra Timber wolves around would help, if he opens his mouth one more time, my size sixteen boot is going straight up his ass,” Maverick warned.
    Murdock knew exactly how Maverick felt. Tryck was one cocky, egotistical, unfeeling bastard. “I owe him Heaven’s life.” Maverick sighed. “I am all for paying a debt you owe, but can’t you pay it to his brothers while I kill him?” Murdock chuckled. “That bad?”
    “The guy tracked mud all through the kitchen, purposely sneezed near Nero, sat a box of kitty litter outside of Keata’s bedroom door, and the icing on the cake is that the bastard ate my last damn Fudgsicle!” Maverick yelled.
    Murdock bit the inside of his mouth to stop the laughter. He had to turn around and run his hand over his mouth as the smile threatened to emerge.

    “I swear to God, Murdock. If you laugh, you’ll be the one getting the size sixteen boot.” Maverick stormed around his desk and dropped into his chair. “Fine, they can stay, but if he doesn’t tone it down, I’m going to take that bandana off of his head and wrap it around his throat. Debt or no debt.”
    “Thanks.” Murdock got the hell out of there before Maverick made good on his promise because the laughter was coming whether he wanted it to or not.

    Chapter Eight

    Murdock moaned as he woke to the feeling of sweet lips on his chest. His hands glided through soft hair as the lips suckled a nipple.
    His arm he had lying under Heaven pulled until their groins touched, electricity shot through him.
    Reality came crashing into the moment. “Heaven, what are you doing?”
    “Trying to get laid.”
    “That feels good, but you have to stop.” Why he was trying to talk his mate out of sex was beyond him. His brain was at half operation with the lust coursing through him, but he knew there was a reason they should stop.
    “The doctor said I can’t, you know.” Now his brain was fully functional with the remembrance of the night before. What if he got his mate pregnant? No one knew what would happen. The wolf doctor did say he was pretty sure it couldn’t happen, but was Murdock willing to risk his mate on a guess? “We shouldn’t risk
