give our blood to humans.”
    “I don’t care what the rules are, you will give her my blood,” Nikkos said through clenched teeth. Mikhaila shook her head, but he knew she was going to do whatever Nikkos told her to do.
    “Not Adrian, only Nikkos ,” the doc replied.
    “No way! Why not mine?” Adrian pleaded.
    “You have lost too much blood, and you are in need of some yourself. You give her yours and you may not survive to see whether she lives or not.”
    Even though she was clearly right, he argued with the great doctor. “I don’t care. She needs it, so give it to her.”
    Apparently his body did not agree with his heart. Just as he said that, he swayed to the side and looked like he was ready to pass out. Nikkos had to put his arm around his waist and his other hand on his chest to steady him.
    “Oh gods! Adrian , sit down. We gotta get you some help now!”
    Adrian looked down at the hand on his chest that was quickly being saturated in blood. He had been losing blood at a steady rate, and they all had been so distracted over the female that they hadn’t even noticed. As Adrian watched the blood spread across Nikkos’s hand, his knees gave out. Nikkos gripped him tighter to stop him from collapsing onto the floor. Marcus brought over a chair and helped lower him into it just before the huge male lost consciousness.
    “See, she told you you were too injured and needed blood,” Lucian said again with a smart mouth, but it was too late. Adrian was out cold.
    “Give them mine,” Nikkos replied almost automatically. There was no thinking about this. His female needed blood and so did his best friend. Maybe more than friend. He didn’t know. He was so confused. All he knew was that he needed both of them, and he knew somewhere deep down that he would not survive if either one of them died on him.
    Mikhaila and Lucian worked for what seemed like hours. Nikkos had given so much blood to the two injured that he could barely keep his head up. At some point he must have given in to his exhaustion because the next thing he knew, Mikhaila was standing over him, waking him. “They are both going to be fine. They just need rest. I hear you think she is your female?”
    “I don’t know. I’m so confused. Adrian thinks she is his. I know she is mine. I have no clue what the hell is going on anymore. I almost attacked my best friend from birth over a human female, and he was willing to give his life for her.” He was rambling and knew it but couldn’t stop. He didn’t dare tell them that he had tasted her blood and knew she was his mate.
    “Well, I think if he feels she is his, that they should not be separated. He will heal faster if they are placed together somewhere.” She raised her hand as he began to protest. “Also, I think if she is yours that you do not want her anywhere near another male. So, as you are the only one conscious at this time, where do you want us to put her to heal? Remember, I think it will be good for your best friend if he is near her.”
    “Put them both in my room in my bed. I will watch over them until they are awake, and we will figure this out then.”
    “Are you sure you want them both in your bed? I know how territorial you males can be.” She glanced over at her possessive husband as he scoffed at the remark.
    “Yes, they belong with me, and I want them both there.”
    Mikhaila looked a little confused by his statement but didn’t protest. He knew she had seen the looks that the boys had given each other in the past and had probably wondered if there wasn’t something more going on with the two of them than just being best friends. This probably just made her even more confused. He thought maybe Marcus had told her that they were outside fighting over the female. But now Nikkos was asking that both the female he thought was his and his best friend, who may be more than a friend, be placed in his bed. Nikkos couldn’t figure that one out yet, so he probably shouldn’t
