Or afterwards, Danniels thought.
Abruptly, the stranger was gone and a door was closing and latching on the other side of the room.
Danniels tried to rise and fell back, his head floating around somewhere above him. Maybe a Wolf Pack member would have to save his life but he wouldn't have to bring him home and nurse him back to health.
Why?
He fell asleep without even trying to guess the answer.
He woke when they brought food to him.
Danniels finished with the tray and sat it aside.
The small man who had identified himself as Richard beamed. "I think you are strong enough to attend the celebration tonight."
Danniels did feel stronger after rest and food, but at the same time he felt vaguely dizzy and his leg was beginning to hurt. "What kind of a celebration?" he asked.
Richard chuckled. "Don't worry. You'll like it."
