To my self-proclaimed number one fan Kevin. Thank you for the wonderful thoughts and encouragement.

Chapter One

Eli fought down his nausea. It was bad enough he had to rely on vampires and their private jet to get him and his wounded patient to Denver, but now he’d managed to get airsick. When his alpha had told him he was flying, Eli had known this would happen, but as a Dom, he’d walk through the fires of hell before admitting he suffered from severe motion sickness. He would have taken something for it, but that would mean downing a triple dose of what humans would use so it wouldn’t burn through his system too fast. The problem with that was, it would also mean he’d be drugged up and couldn’t properly care for his patient, and that wouldn’t work either.

At least constantly checking the wounded buffalo shifter gave Eli something to concentrate on other than his roiling stomach and spinning head. It had been an hour-long drive to Sacramento where they’d met the plane, and the flight was supposed to be less than two hours. They were thirty minutes outside Denver, and he couldn’t wait to land.

Eli pushed to his feet and moved carefully down the aisle, keeping his face perfectly impassive. A couple of steps brought him to the back of the plane where his patient rested on a stretcher held still with straps. Leaning over, he checked the bandages, the IV, the oxygen, anything to take his mind off his own troubles. His patient, Darrell Angleford, was mostly unchanged. A little paler, perhaps, due to blood-loss, but his pulse was still steady. The buffalo shifter had been attacked by his own alpha for mating with a human, poor bastard. His mate and two cubs were currently curled up near the front of the plane.

He appreciated Yuma’s willingness to come along. Not only did the little penguin shifter have a way with soothing hysterical next of kin, but he didn’t faint at the sight of blood. He’d acted as Eli’s assistant more times than he could count over the years. A quick check of the front of the plane told Eli that Yuma, the cubs, and Darrell’s mate, Lydia, were catching a much needed nap. He envied them that ability, but Eli knew even if he didn’t have Darrell to look after, he wouldn’t have been able to sleep.

How’s he doing?

The soft voice of the vampire acting as flight attendant, more or less, came from his left. He stood next to Eli, staring down at the injured shifter. Eli thought the guy had been introduced as Kyle. He shrugged. He’s hanging in there. I’m confident he’ll pull through once we get him to safe, proper facilities.

And you think these wolves we’re going to are safe? Kyle cocked his head, his eyes narrowed with interest.

Eli met the vampire’s brown-eyed gaze. Yes, he replied. Although I didn’t actually meet the wolf alpha, Kontra believes Declan is a fair man, and I trust my alpha’s judgment.

Kyle nodded. He glanced down at the sleeping man and Eli followed the look. Relief filled him when he saw the lines of pain had smoothed out, allowing the shifter to enjoy some discomfort-free rest. It looks like you won’t be needed for a bit, Kyle said, drawing Eli’s attention back to the vampire. To his surprise, the man smiled seductively and rested a hand on Eli’s bicep. You look like you could use a distraction.

The lust burning in the dark-haired man’s eyes had Eli’s cock twitching with interest. A quick fuck would definitely give him some time away from trying to control his body’s
