There was another pause in the excitement, a still in the challenges and threats, and I held my breath … again. There was no way we should have sur...ived this challenge to a pack. It was stupid in the extreme. I should have released the pup for nature to take its course like it always would have. In the wild, only half the pups born reach maturity simply because of food, predators, or situation exactly like this. That was possibly a reason why the alpha had been willing to leave the pup. Donna had not made a play at him, afraid that it might mess things up at work, but she couldn’t pass up a peek at him in the shower.She slipped her way through the dressing room and to the shower door. She peeked around and saw his chiseled body engulfed in a room full of steamy water. Although he was 42 he stayed in shape by working out with his team. His wide shoulders bulged as he washed his hair. He stood with his back to Donna and she admired his narrow tight ass.She had had a crush on him. One modest drink of alcohol per day maximum. We have to let the stomach completely heal. And no strenuous exercise that isn't specifically prescribed by your physical therapist. Your lung needs more time as well. On the other hand, you can live a pretty normal life," he smiled."Thank you, doctor. I appreciate all you and your staff have done for me. I feel like I've spent half my life in this hospital, even though it's only been five months. I'll be back in three months for my first checkup."I. We’ll follow you after we get positions and responsibilities assigned. We’ll meet you right here,” Roy told us putting his finger on the map near the swale on this ridge. “Be back by 1700 hrs.”“Right! I’ve got 1330 hrs,” I told him looking at my watch before Carry and I gathered our rucks and weapons, and headed out.We moved up the trail somewhat slowly. With rucks weighing eighty-five pounds or more, and only having gotten about two hours of sleep last night, we weren’t as chipper as we had.
