Instantly I was back on the table, having this man cut my pup out of me. I growled so viciously that Rick paled. “Are you okay?” His words were soft, and panicked. I stared at the doctor, who froze.
Luke raised his hands in surrender. “Hey, I know I’m new, but I’m just here to help.”
Nix scoffed. Eat him.
Megan laughed. But she shook her head. He’s innocent. Even back then, it was Brandon that alpha commanded him to hurt us.
I don’t care, he killed our pup. Nix snapped.
But he allowed us to hold him in the last seconds. I called back to her, and I watched as she settled.
Fine, but just this time. Nix stalked off into the trees and Megan followed.
I’ll watch over her. Send a call when we can heal you.
I turned my attention back to Luke. I felt my chest tighten as I remembered him covered in our blood. But I shook from the pain. “It’s fine.” I whispered to Rick, and he laid me down on the table.
“What happened?” Luke got to work checking me over. “Rogue attack?”
I scoffed. Rick looked towards the door. “Alpha.”
THe doctor stopped and looked towards the door. “Where?”
I couldn’t help it. I laughed. “No, he means I was attacked by the alpha. Or the alpha to be, anyway.” Luke froze.
“Are you kidding me?” I shook my head and yelped from the pain. Luke’s face darkened. “I’ll be right back.” He walked out of the room and I looked at Rick, who just raised a shoulder.
“I don’t have any clue.” He started to look antsy.
“What’s wrong?” I raised my eyebrow, and he blew out a breath.
“I’m just worried.” He looked at me and then back to the door.
It took a minute, but I clued in. “Go.”
He shook his head. “You’re hurt.”
“I’m fine. You got me here.” I patted his arm. “I can do the rest myself.”
