Thea I didn’t remember the journey back to Sliver Oak. Iris didn’t offer to come and I was too distraught to argue. I needed to be home. Patrick took me straight to the medical bay where my parents sat outside. Mums eyes were red and swollen. I knew it was bad. I ran to mum and she hugged me for dear life. “Poor Scarlett, I don’t know how she will cope.” Mum cried into my shoulder. “How’s Jackson?” I asked. “He hasn’t left her, she is still unconscious but the doctor says she is through the worst.” Mum replied. “And their pups?” Mum started to cry. “She lost so much blood and the knife was poisoned, the doctors have told us that they are unlikely to have survived.” My heart broke for the both of them. Fury followed. “Who was the traitor ?” At this Dad looked crestfallen, “Ryan”
