7- first step

James POV.

A week has passed, a full week now, I went over the plan with Ryan and Logan ten times already, they know they can do it but they are also worried about failing me and her, they could never fail, they are the ones I would trust with my life, and I know she would do, as would the alpha. 

I had a call with the alpha, I couldn't leave the house, I couldn't risk her needing any kind of medical attention with me gone, instead, we had a video call, I showed the alpha the girl, I never thought I'd see the ice queen that's our alpha crying, until that day. She didn't cry, she was frozen, a tear shining in her eye, but nothing else, she looked shocked, happy, scared and worried, my wolf felt the urge to bow its head, to howl to the moon, to show his alpha compassion, her pain was our pain, and we couldn't take it.

"Do you know her name?" the alpha asks me, I shook my head no, we all knew it was her sister, or we had our doubts, but we never dared to say it out loud, what if we had the wrong girl, what if it wasn't her.

"Her name is Melody," the alpha says, it is her sister.

"I promise alpha, I'll do everything in my power to heal her," I promised her.

"I trust you, James, I do..." she says ending the call, I wasn't sure if this would scare me more or push me to help her.

I called my two nurse boys, calling them in, we had the alpha's approval to push to the next step, we now also have a name for our patient, it's better than simply calling her baby or patient, calling her by her name is another step to help bring her back.

"How's Melody doing?" I asked Ryan, he was the one on shift for now.

"Melody?" he asks sharing a look of confusion with Logan.

"It's her name, the alpha has assured it to me," I say, giving them a moment to be shocked and confused, I was too, but we need to get back to work.

"We've taken her off the morphine," they answer me, we need her in a twilight stage to be able to reach her subconscious with their soundtrack. I went to her room, I checked her injuries, the bones have healed, the stomach worms were gone, the ear inflammation have gone down, it was time to wake her up.

"Pull the medication down another notch," I order them, seeing Logan mess with her IV, it's the nurse's job, better than having me ruin their hard work, we all knew our job and we did it well. It only took her an hour to start waking up, the medication was done, but not enough to allow her to shift back to her wolf form no matter how much she wants to, we gave beta blockers to stop her from doing that. The sedative was strong enough to make her feel paralysed, it's the most humane way to wake her up, she's in a strange place, she's away from what she claimed to be her territory, she's under three stronger person control, this would be ugly.

She screamed, that was the first time I heard her voice, it was horse and rough, loud screams running through the room, she was afraid, terrified, no one blamed her, I tried to talk to her, to wait until she calms down, but to no use, she kept screaming out loud. Not wanting to push her any farther, I nodded to Logan, telling him to push the medication back in, they had her out in no time.

"Not the best first impression," Ryan says trying to soothe the room.

"Maybe one of us should try first?" Logan asks, but having them try would only encourage her to show her dominance over them, little space or not, we need her to be on the submissive side.

"No, we'll try again in a bit, turn the meds down," I say, waiting for her to wake up again.

As I got closer to the bed, she was laying down, and she kept on screaming, I didn't like playing the role of the big bad wolf, but it's the only way to show her who's in charge.

My face started to shift and change, my teeth got longer, my blue eyes got deeper in colour, and even my aura shifted into a more dominant one.

I'm now showing her my alpha side, the one that got my two boys to look down avoiding my eyes. The girl in bed growled at me, she didn't want to submit, she wanted to be the one in charge, not me a total stranger.

"I'm the one in charge here," I growl at her, my aura over dominating hers, but she didn't want to give in, she refused to give in.

"It's time to submit," I tell her again, my aura was starting to hurt her, she was squirming on the bed tears started to fall down her face, all signs of being in pain, but she was stubborn, refusing to give in.

"Sir," Logan says, he and Ryan are now on the ground, my aura was affecting them just as much as her, but they submitted to me, but it caused them no harm.

"It'll get worse before it gets better," I say, we all knew that this is just the first step of getting to her, but the girl wasn't giving in, no matter how hard I pushed her, she still shook her head refusing to give in. Since we both refused to give in, the girl ended up blacking out, her body was too weak to keep on fighting, so she just slept in now.

"This won't end well if she keeps on fighting you," Ryan says, we need to find a way to make her submit.

"We'll need to break her and then build her up again," I says, this was part of the plan.

"Keep her under for the rest of the day, keep the soundtrack on," I order the two boys going toward my office to write down the note of today, of what we haven't achieved, it's also a chance to have a drink and try to come down from today's failure. It's just a step back, Melody had a personality that matches her hair, but she's an angel, I knew we could reach to her, maybe not today, but tomorrow.
