Clay quietly.
    The soft growls that came from beside him had him turning his head and observing Clay in the exact same predicament that he was in. Clay looked at him for just a split second, his eyes completely golden as his wolf pushed at his control.
    “I need to be with her,” Clay told him softly.
    “We will be as soon as the doctor clears her,” Hunter responded, trying to soothe himself just as much as he was trying to soothe his partner. “Then we’re never going to let her out of our sight again.”
    Clay chuckled at Hunter’s words. “That might be difficult, Hunter. We have to work and she must have a life, too.”
    Hunter’s attention snapped to him immediately. “And what kind of life does she have if we find her collapsed in the forest, with two bags that probably contain everything of value to her? Look at her injuries. Who would cause that much pain to a woman?”
    “We’ll find out when she’s ready to tell us,” Clay told him, returning his attention to the curtained off area. “Until then, we’ll watch over her, protect her, and love her.”
    “Damn straight,” Hunter muttered, looking at the curtain and watching the flurry of movement that made it billow out every once in a while.
    The two EMTs who had pushed the gurney carrying their mate emerged from behind the curtains with the empty gurney. Hunter and Clay were silent as it passed by them, glad when Carter Hutchinson, a member of their pack who was one of the EMTs who had taken care of their mate, stopped beside them.
    “She’s being looked at now,” he told them softly. “She’s stable.”
    Hunter nodded, looking at the man who was partnered with Drew, their pack doctor, and mated to Susannah. The change in him in just the short time he had been reunited with their mate was astounding. The happiness and contentment practically rolled off the man, filling the room with the joy of a completed triad mating.
    “Thanks, Carter,” Clay acknowledged, reaching out to shake his hand. “Can you tell us anything yet?”
    “I’ll have a complete report filled out before we leave,” Carter promised. “Did you find an ID on her?”
    “No,” Hunter answered for the both of them. “How badly is she injured?”
    “Not sure. The doctor is examining her now. Nikki is in there with her, too,” he told them softly. “She’ll keep an eye on her for you.”
    Hunter nodded, glad that Alexander and Butler’s mate Nikki was the nurse that would be attending their mate. “Did our injured woman talk to you?”
    Carter shook his head. “No. She just kept calling for you and Clay.”
    Immediate smiles filled both men’s faces. They looked at each other and then returned their attention back to Carter.
    “Looks like you two have been taken down,” Carter told them, laughing softly.
    “What do you mean?” Clay asked, still smiling.
    “Jane Doe has put her claim on you,” Carter said with certainty. “And it seems as if you’ve done the same to her.”
    “She’s ours,” Clay spoke up immediately.
    “Thought so,” Carter told them. “Congratulations. I know you’ll be just as happy as Drew and I are with our Suzie. You’ll find that you’ll never understand how you’ve ever lived without her.”
    “Thanks, Carter,” Hunter answered, his voice husky with emotion. “We’ve been waiting for her for so long.”
    “Well, now you’ve found her. Don’t ever let her go. Don’t lose any time with her like Drew and I did with Suzie. Grab hold of her and hang on tightly.”
    Hunter nodded, looking at Clay and seeing his triad partner doing the same. They had seen the way Drew and Carter had suffered over the years from being separated from Suzie. It was good that they were finally a reunited triad. Even though they didn’t know their mate’s name or anything about her, they knew one thing for certain. Neither man was ever going to risk losing their mate.
