Over wrought with guilt and regret, Aubrey lay in bed stewing about the events of the day prior.
It had just been confirmed that Natasha was out of danger while Dimitri was still unconscious and fighting for his life. The doctors were still not sure if he would survive. At first, Aubrey thought that his wounds would heal quickly since he was a werewolf, a supernatural being. However, it turned out that the creature's claws were laced with venom, lethal to werewolves. So aside from the grave injuries Dimitri sustained in the fall, his wounds began to fester and kept on bleeding. As such, it was a significant undertaking for the doctors to even keep him alive. Eventually, it was determined that in order to live, Dimitri needed the antidote for the venom in his body. Without it, he might not even last a day. Yet only the vampires held the cure, this was their current predicament.
