Draven’s POV
"How’s Caroline doing now?" I asked, stopping at Ava’s desk, trying to control my anger.
"Really bad! She’s been crying so much! But Rose made her some special tea that helped her calm down," Ava said with an angry look. "She’s finally resting after crying a lot. I’m busy with work now, but I gave her stuff to do and haven’t heard crying, so I haven’t checked on her."
"I need to talk to her. She needs to know why I have to do this," I said as I walked to Caroline’s office.
"Draven, don’t make my friend more upset. I don’t think anything can make this okay," Ava warned me, clearly protecting Caroline.
"I’m sorry, but I need to talk to her," I turned and went into her office.
Inside, Caroline had her head down on the desk, eyes closed. I said her name softly, but she didn’t move. I tried again, but nothing. I picked her up, she was completely asleep. Alaric whined worried about how light she felt in my arms.
I opened Ryan’s office door; he was working and just looked up at me. I put her on his couch carefully, kissed her forehead. I waved for him to come outside.
"I didn’t take her to my office; she might get scared if she wakes up there. I came to talk to her, to tell her everything, but found her sleeping at her desk," I told Ryan.
"It’s okay, Alpha," Ryan said quietly. "I’ll watch her for you. Let her sleep. Elle said she hasn’t slept well for days."
We left Caroline’s office and I went to Ava.
"Ava, what tea did Rose give Caroline? She’s totally asleep. I tried to reach her mind but couldn’t. Should I worry?" Ava looked surprised.
"Wait."She sent a mind-link to Rose. "Rose, what did you give Caroline?" She smiled at the answer. "Yeah, she needed it. Thanks, Rose, she’s really sleeping now."
Ava hung up and smiled a bit at me. "She made a special tea to help Caroline sleep. She said Caroline needs good sleep to help her wolf, and I agree."
"But what’s in that tea? Will she wake up or is she in some kind of deep sleep?" I asked, worried about her.
"Chamomile, lemon balm, passion fruit, valerian, and some secret herbs only pack healers know!" Ava said. "That, Alpha, works better than any human sleeping pill. Caroline might sleep all day. But she really needs it."
"Okay," I sighed, fixing my hair. "Watch her for me."
