Chapter 5 Hospital

Abby

Emily stepped on the gas pedal as soon as Arkyn mouthed the word go, hightailing us out of there, launching the car as she sped up as fast as she could.

I kep thinking about Arkyn, and how he has to face nine vampires alone.

A few of the vampires launched for the car, but I was shocked to see they got pulled back by a sudden mist, coated in a dark blue hue. Looking over my shoulder through the rear windshield, I saw the power come from Arkyn.

I look in admiraton as the blue mist forms tentacles that wraps around them. I will be forever grateful for him. He made it safe for us to get to the pack. I look at my best friend in my arms, hoping we will make it in time.

"Mom, call Dr Matthews. Tell her to get a bed ready with medicine for wolfsbane. Looks like Kat is slipping into a coma". I tell my mom.

We are still too far out from the pack to be able to mind link my warriors to warn from any danger.

Fishing my phone out of my pocket while trying to keep Kat comfortable, I dail my head warrior, hoping they are not in a fight.

"Yes Luna", Luca, my head warrior and teams manager answer, in an out-of-breath voice.

"Are you okay? We were attacked at the mall. Did anything happen at the pack?", My voice in immediate worry, wondering if my pack members are safe.

"There were vampires around the border. We are safe now, thanks to Dante."

"Dante? Who is Dante?" I ask extremely fast, almost screaming into the phone. My mind raced through all the pack member files, not recalling a Dante.

"He is here with Arkyn, Luna. Arkyn asked him to check out the pack borders for any problems in the gates. Good thing he was here too. We found damage done to the south side border.

The vampires broke through and he was here first. We heard the fighting and arrived only to find the vampires already dead"

"Did anyone get hurt?" I ask, breathing out a sigh of relief.

"No Luna, luckily not. They made it the pack border and not much further.

This Dante guy did a good number on them, even their faces were so badly mutalated that face regocnition won't be possible. We found Dante in the tail end of the fight, shifting back."

"Meet us at the gate; we are almost there"

Ending the call and giving the phone to my mom, I started relaxing a bit, while keeping my focus on Kat.

She looks extremely pale, her lips a light purple colour. Based on the sound of her heartbeat, she is still alive, but barely.

Suddenly, she started comvulsing in my arms, a white foam coming out of her mouth.

"Em!!!! Step on it!!!"

We were five minutes away from the packhouse.

As soon as the gate was in my sight, I linked my security to open the gate. It opened and we sped through. Emily pulled the car in park and jumped out to help me with my door.

In front of the hospital, I was relieved to see the doctor already waiting outside.

"She was cut with a dagger laced with wolfsbane."

"Come Luna, we have the bed ready. As soon as we are done, I need you to tell me everything that happened."

Using my speed while also keeping her steady in my arms, I rushed to the room. There was already a team of nurses waiting.

"Let us take her Luna."

Is she okay? Please let her be okay. We can't lose her. I can hear the whimpering and sadness in Storms's voice.

I don't know Storm. The wolfsbane went into her bloodstream. Let Dr Matthews figure it out.

Putting her softly on the bed, I take a step back and my knees buckle underneath me, someone catching me in their arms, right as I am about to fall.

I look back and see my father's worried face.

"Dad... She... I... We got attacked...", I struggle with my words.

"Alpha, please take her back to your office. She is in shock"

I look at Kat, almost lifeless on the bed.

"She has already lost a lot of blood, and it apppears that she is very dehydrated.

Let's get her hooked up to a ventilator immediately. I also need a blood pressure cuff on her arm at all times.

I want to check her cardiovascular systems regulary so lets get her on a heart rate monitor

Mel, bring me an Ringer's IV drip for her dehydration.

I don't want to take any chances."

My father lifted me up and carried me back to the packhouse while Dr Matthews gave out orders to the nurses.

All I could think about was my best friend in a coma, being hooked up to all kinds of machines and drips, and Arkyn. wondering if he is okay.

Alaric Volkov, I will not stop till I find you and kill you with my own bare hands.

Arkyn

I watched as they sped into the woods, far away from the situation I found myself in.

My two swords are already in my hands.

Some of them tried to jump on the car fueling my anger.

I whisper to myself.

"Aard".

"What the fuck did you just say pup" One of them shouts at me. It happened so fast that no one had time to react.

The dark blue mist glides easily out of my back forming into thick dark tentacles wrapping around the four of them, putting pressure on theirbodies hard enough to crack every bone and crush every vital organ.

They were being held up into the sky, too far off from the ground to be able to do anything.

Extending their teeth and nails, they even tried to bite and scratch the tentacles, but to no avail.

The forest was loud with the sickening noise of skulls being crushed and the squelching sounds of the organs being opened.

Launching myself with my wolf speed forward, I grab the first guy by his shirt, and I smelled it. Fear. The fear was basically dripping out of this on this guy.

"Hope you die in hell, cunt."

Driving my damascus sword straight through his heart, His eyes glaze over as he looks at me.

"Well pup, you are stronger than you look", the main dumbass said,

"Just give me the Luna. You can hand her over easily, right? You hunters are well known for not developing any feelings", he sneered, standing in a snobbish manner, acting like he owns the ground we are standing on. I need to end this fast.

More of his people might be surrounding the pack borders. I have no doubt that Dante can handle them, but I need to be there.

I want to protect her with every fibre in my body.

Moving myself to him slowly, tapping on the two marks on the right side of my neck to conceal my swords, I hope to buy time for Abby to reach the packhouse.

They simply disappear out of my hands like they were never there; his men gasping in shock at what just happened.

Yeah, that's right fuckers, you have never saw anything like me.

"Well, I must say someting ofcourse, if a magnificent man like yourself would let me."

"Sure, big bad wolf. Just know that after this, I will be hunting both of you. You seem to have amazing gifts.

Probably blessed by your precious Moon Goddes herself, no?"

"No, I wasn't blessed by our Moon Goddess. Let's just say my particular talents are... naturally made."

This was a good sign. This means he won't take the chance to kill me.

I'm just another precious slave in his eyes.

Hoping to come close to him, I slow my pace down. Just close enough to leave a mark on his neck. I just need one shot, but his goons are making it difficult. A surprise attack won't work since they have seen what I can do.

"Well, I would love to agree with you but then we'd both be wrong", I growled at him, making my Alpha presence known

I was six feet away.

If I could shift into Chaos, I could easily jump and scratch him,injecting my venom into his neck.

If I could inject enough, it will paralyse him completely.

I decided to take the chance and gave over full control to Chaos.

We jumped, deciding to shift mid-air. He gave a smirk up at my shifiting form, looking unfazed by my attack

and disappeared completely under me,

taking his men with him, completely ruining my chance to kill him.

Shifting back, I look down at my bare self.

Oh, look who is naked now in the middle of the forest.

Shut up, Chaos.

Can we get naked in front of Abby? I'm sure she won't mind. I can just hear the horny mutt growling

No, you stupid mutt. She isn't even our mate! We are her protectors.

Are you sure she isn't? I mean, come on. Her scent is extremely strong and it made both of ours mouths water; especially mine.

I just want to taste that sweet strawberries dipped in cream mixed in with the taste of her p...

I blocked out Chaos before he even finished that sentence

Shit, I ruined my clothes when I shifted.

Conjuring myself a jean, shirt and shoes, I started wondering where he got the power to disappear like that.

The ones I know have only be able to shimmer, and shimmering leaves a light trace. I need more research about him and the kind of work he does. Hopefully he doesn't have witch blood, this will make killing him near impossible.

I want to kill this fucker for even thinking about taking Abby.

Looking around, I realised there is blood everywhere, even on me; their red sludge over my arms, hair and part of my face.

Well, Abby is going to freak out when she sees me.

I could use a decent shower about now, this shit stinks.

People hike normally in this forest, and they will definitely freak the fuck out if they see the amounts of blood and shards of bone scattered around the forest path and hiking trail.

Letting my magic through my body, my eyes turned completely black; my hands started to glow blue.

Making the burial symbol in the ground, everything sunk beneath the earth and the blood simply disappeared, covering the massacre that took place.

If it gets dugged up now, it will look like dog bones.

Deciding to make the long walk back to the pack, I call Dante.

"Hey boss", Dante answers my call, sounding like he was just busy done sparring.

"You sound out of breath. What happened?"

"Oh, just a few vampires by the pack border. Nothing to be concerned about.

Phoenix and the gang handled them with so much love and care

They now know the true nice hospitality of stepping into an unknown pack border.." He said with a smart sarcastic tone.

I gave a laugh myself, hearing him chuckle on the other side.

"Anything else I should be aware about?"

"The Luna knows about me. She even invited me to live in the packhouse. She looks bad man. Her dad took her to his office to try to calm her down.

All the ranked members are in there now awaiting your return, minus the future Beta.

Where are you by the way?"

"I'm about 45 minutes from the pack, walking through the forest."

"Well shit. I'm coming to get you. Wait, let me just found out something"

I heard him put the phone down and talking to someone.

After a minute, the phone was picked back up.

"I'm dressed and ready to leave. The Alpha was kind enough to borrow me a car to come get you.

They called a meeting, you and me included." I heard Dante, climbing into a car and a garage door opening.

"Thank you Dante. See you in a few."

-

A few minutes later, a sleek black 1967 Chevrolet Impala stopped in front of me. My eyes popped out of my head. These were extremely rare nowadays; even more expensive to fix up.

What surprised me more was that Dante stepped out of the driver's side giving me the most cockiest grin plastered on his face.

"And you look like shit."

"What the fuck Dante??!! The Alpha let you borrow this car? Lucky bastard!!" I basically scream at him; now I'm even more jealous, because this bitch got to drive it before I even knew of it's existence.

I wonder who the car belongs to in the pack.

"Not just the Alpha. You will never guess who's car this is." He looks at like he is actually waiting for me to guess. This idiot.

"Spit it out Dante. We don't have all day."

"It's the future Luna's car.",

"No fucking way. This? This is her car?"

"Yeah, and," He tosses me the keys, "She told me she wants you to drive it back. She was already pissed because I drove her baby and not you."

"Let's get going then. Can't keep the Luna waiting."

We both climbed into the car. I can't stop the huge smile on my face.

-

Parking the car into the garage, we both went up the stairs to her father's office.

Giving a soft knock not wanting to startle Abby, I stepped inside.

She was standing at the small liquor cabinet by the couch.

The moment she sensed me, she turned around and gasped. Before I could think about my next words, she ran and jumped straight into my arms. I lifted her up by thighs, making her put her arms around my neck and crushing me in a hug.
