Chapter 8

After bathing in the pound and leaving my imagination to run wild I returned to the pack house to have dinner.

We all sat inside tonight, because from the looks of the sky there was a storm coming and a big one too.

It was around 9:00pm when we sat down to eat and I began feeling uneasy and afraid. I began feeling like I was being told to do something and wasn’t able to. Then a sharp pain took over my stomach followed by my face, I fell off my chair from how strong the pain was.

I curled up into a ball as the pain in my stomach kept coming; it was as if I was collecting blow after blow. Then it stopped. I stood to my feet and Thomas helped me over to the couch in the living room, I laid my head down and closed my eyes for a moment. That's when I felt it. A tight grip on my head it felt like I was being dragged bymy hair , and then I felt a sharp pain across my face. I screamed out from the sting and then I saw black. I started feeling wet and I heard the sound of thunder and felt the rain drops beating on my bruised body. My fingers felt like they were digging into the earth, like I was trying to help myself go somewhere. I felt like I was using all my strength to reach where I was going and then I heard loud screams, loud male screams. Then black again. I regained consciousness for a little and I could hear faint voices, loud thunder but I couldn’t open my eyes, my eyes felt swollen and my throat felt dry. I tried to speak but couldn’t, my breath got caught in my throat and I couldn’t breathe anymore. My heart felt like it was giving up and then I felt electricity coursing through my veins, then I felt something going down into my throat.

“Would someone please bring Brandon some tissues please.” Authur said.

“Thank you.”

“If you can, you may continue.”

I heard the loud thunder noise and heavy footsteps along with heavy breathing. I jumped from my sleep as I heard Thomas in my head. ‘Something big is coming, we need every soldier down here.”

I jumped off the couch in my already drenched sweat clothing and ran to the pack grounds.

Thunder rumbling and lightning striking I began to have a bad feeling in my gut, something is wrong. I lifted my nose to the sky and took a big wiff, that scent, I know that scent it's the warriors blood moon warriors, by why are they here?

And before I could take another step out into the opening two brown wolves landed right in front of me. I heard there wimping and winning and I knew exactly what had happened. It was my mate, that’s what I felt a couple hours ago, it was her being attacked. And from the looks on the other warriors' faces it was bad, I turned to Thomas who looked back at me and nodded his head.

And with that we were off,I ran as fast as I could without even thinking about shifting into palo but he took over, palo was angry , stirring inside. I could feel it because that’s exactly how I felt.

We ran through the dark of the forest, the warriors at my side, I howled and growled. I don’t know how many times but at that moment It was needed. Gabriel and Jack fell back once in a while but eventually caught back up.

We got to the pack grounds in less than an hour, I shifted to my naked human form and ran inside, I used my nose to try and smell my way to her but he scent wasn’t there it was replaced by earth, blood and f**king expensive perfume.

“No cursing in my presents Brandon.” Authur said.

“Sorry.”

“You may continue.”

I followed the scent as I started walking towards her room. I was hit with a pressure pain to the chest, it felt like someone was pressing on it hard. I stumbled to get back on my feet, but was thrown back again by the pressure. I felt two wet arms help me up from the floor and helped carry me towards my mate.

When I looked into her room, I saw them try to revive her. It looked as if she had stopped breathing or like the tube wasn’t doing what it should be doing.

I turned my head away and then I heard the monitor beeping again, I looked on as they placed the tube back down her throat. I moved my eyes to look at her dirty body laying on the bed, it’s as if they were so busy trying to save her life that they didn’t even get time to clean her up.

The doctors pressed the button to call the nurses I assume and then they came outside and talked to us.

“How is she?” I managed to blurt out.

“She’s fine now, stable.”

“Would she wake up?”

“We’re not sure, she lost a lot of blood…”

“Stop talking, just stop talking.”

The doctor stayed quiet and then I heard her parents rushing in. Her mother held on to her father tightly and then they held onto their sons and after they held on to my shaking body.

“It’s all right, she’ll be alright.” Her mother said.

“I haven’t even, she didn’t even…”

“I know, I know. But she’ll wake up soon and she’ll know it’s you. Now be strong because she needs you.”

“Here son put this on, I know my daughter wouldn’t want to hear about how her mate walked the hospital naked.” Her father chuckled and handed me a t- shirt and pants.

I left to report to Alpha James that I had returned because of a family emergency but he wasn’t in his office or anywhere on the pack grounds. Or at least I couldn’t pick up his scent.

I took a quick shower and headed back to the hospital. The warrior brothers were there and her parents had just left to get some food.

I sat beside them and closed my eyes.

“We heard her through the mind link.” They both said.

“She called for help.” Jack said

“She said she tried calling you, but you were too far.”Gabriel said

“She dragged herself from the waterfall.” Jack said

“There was dirt under her nails.”Gabriel said

“And skin, a big chunk in her hand like she bit him.”jack said

“ she bit him good.” Gabriel said

I opened my eyes and placed my elbows on my knees and dropped my head into my hand.

“What was she doing at the waterfall?”

“She goes there every other night.”

But just as I was about to speak again , I heard her mother and father behind us with bags of food.

I got up and helped them over to their seat and then looked into her room. They haven’t cleaned her yet, she’s still covered in mud and sand, anger came fuming up my throat and I stomped off to the nurses desk.

“Why isn’t the patient in room 2 cleaned up yet.”

“Ohh beta Brandon the doctor wanted someone to clean her up but the family said that her mate would do it, so we’re waiting for her mate.”

“Ohh am, sorry.”

“The water and washcloth is inside the room already. Once he’s here it's just for him to clean her up.”

I thanked her and left, I stood outside her room and looked at her on the bed. I looked at her face only. Her breast was hanging out and her private area was showing a little.

I shook my head and palo growled through my chest.

“Go on ahead, she needs your touch.” Her mother said.

“ Could you just give me a minute?” I said back to her

“You take your time, but not too long. If she wakes up dirty she’d be angry.” Her mother said once more.

I walked the halls of the hospital for what felt like hours, scratching at my head and constantly clearing my throat. How the hell am I going to clean her without getting angry or being emotional, she doesn't need to feel that.

“Come on brother, stop stalling and go clean up my sister.” Gabriel said, patting my back.

I turned and then walked in the direction of her room before Jack shouted.

“Not the chest area.”
