“She’s a pack member! What kind of bullshit is that!?” Kendrick exclaimed.
“Technically, she is not a pack member,” the doctor said.
“Come again?”
“She’s not a pack member. She was orphaned when she was about ten, and was brought to the pack, and was turned into the packhouse slave,” “SLAVE?!” both Kendrick and I growl.
“Where does she come from? Where is her family!?” I ask trying to hold back my anger.
“I don’t know, I have only been the doctor now for about six years, she was already here when I arrived. She was about twelve when I met her, and she was already covered in bruises, and I could tell she had some injuries that weren’t quite healed,” “Were the beatings Alpha Eric’s doing?” I asked.
“It was everyone’s doing. Even the lowest-ranked Omegas have beat her, and it was mostly because she would talk back, or give attitude,”
“You’ve witnessed this?” Kendrick asked.
“No, but people in this packhouse talk, and pissed off ones talk even louder,” I could feel my anger getting the best of me, and Blade wanted to surface again. I had to put so much effort into keeping him back.
“Be honest me with doctor, have you ever put your hands on her?” I grumbled.
“No, I would never harm a child. I am a doctor, and it is my duty to treat everyone with kindness and respect; however, when it came to this poor child, I was not allowed to,”
“Not allowed? Are you f*g joking me right now?” Kendrick scoffed.
“I’m sorry Beta, but I am not. The Alpha had prohibited me from ever giving her medical attention. I know of her story, but I honestly don’t know her name. She’s not even in the pack database,”
“What do you know about her?” I asked.
“Only that she has a fighting spirit, but a broken soul, and she is young. My understanding from rumors is that her birthday was three days ago, she just turned 18,” “WHAT?!”
“Damn, she just gained her wolf,” Kendrick said looking at her with pity.
“Please, Alpha, do not hurt her. I think she has been through enough pain in her short life,”
“I would never, she is my mate, my future, my Luna, and my one true love. I will mend her broken soul. The moon goddess gave me a precious gift, and I plan to cherish that gift until the day I die,” the doctor nods his head and smiles.
“I’m going to take a blood sample so I can run a few tests on her. Since she has never had medical attention, I think it would be best to do a blood panel to see if she needs anything additional,” I nod my head. He takes a few samples of blood, and then leaves the room. Kendrick and I look at each other, and then back at my mate.
“I wonder what happened to her,” Kendrick says softly.
“I’m sure that she will tell us when she is ready, but for now, let’s just watch over her until she wakes up,”
“No problem,” even if Kendrick was planning on having a threesome, he took his duties as my Beta more seriously, and always vowed to put me and his Luna first. “Did you want me to get another bed rolled up in here?”
“No, I’m going to sleep next to her,” I tell him. I get up from the couch we were sitting on, and gently climb into the bed with my mate. I place my arm under her shoulders, and hold her frail body close, but not tight. I hoped that my scent would give her some peace and tranquility while she healed.
***Rylee’s P.O.V.***
I could feel my head throbbing. It felt like I was run over by a stampede of rhinos. As I tried to gather my thoughts, I remembered getting into an argument with Emma about enchiladas, calling Nicole an unfit mother, and her trying to beat me into submission. I also started to recall the scent of fresh rain. Suddenly, that smell flooded my senses again. I opened my eyes and saw I was in a very unfamiliar room. I looked to my right and saw some sort of weird machine, and it was beeping. I looked to my left and saw a couch. I looked down at my right hand, and there was a needle inside my vein.
I sat up as slowly as I could, still feeling the aftermath of Nicole’s beating. I grunted while sitting up and trying to balance myself. I looked at my surroundings again and realized that I was in a hospital of some sort. Was this the pack clinic? Why was I in the pack clinic? Why does it smell like fresh rain in here? Why was it making me feel happy?
Mate. Kaleigh said
What? We don’t have a mate.
We do now.
What in the world was she talking about? Perhaps the kick to my head affected her memory too or was playing tricks on her. I caught a glimpse of the clock and saw it was two hours past breakfast.
“Sh!t!” I shouted. I reached over and pulled the needle out of hand, which caused the machine to start beeping uncontrollably. I stood to my feet, even though it was very painful to do so, and rushed out of the room. I had no idea where I was since I had never been to the clinic before. I stopped a nurse walking by who looked at me blankly, “I’m sorry, but which way back to the packhouse?”
“Through those doors,” she said and pointed behind me.
“Thank you,” I grabbed my side, where Nicole had kicked me, and just hobbled back to the packhouse. As much I wanted to be out of here, by tonight, I don’t think I could with these injuries. When I made it through the house and into the kitchen, I was immediately pulled by the hair and slapped across the face.
“So, you decided to sleep in!? What makes you think you could get away with the sh!t you pulled last night!?” Emma spat. God, this b!tch was still in the house?
“Rylee, you’re late!” Eric shouted from the middle of the table. Huh? Oh, that’s right he’s not the Alpha anymore. Where the hell was Ash? He wasn’t at the head of the table.
“I’m sorry, I woke up in the clinic, and I have no idea how I got there,”
“Are you trying to make us starve!?” Nicole’s yelled with her shrilling voice breaking the sound barrier. Ugh, I don’t know how the hell Eric puts up with her, let alone Emma and her own ‘nails on a chalkboard’ voice.
“Please give me twenty minutes, and will I have breakfast made,”
“TWENTY MINUTES!? YOU’RE ASKING FOR TWENTY MINUTES WHEN WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FED OVER TWO HOURS AGO!?” Emma screamed at the top of her lungs.
“Would you rather I not make anything at all then?” I sneered.
“Dad! Do something about this b***h!!” Emma shouted.
“Aww, can’t stand up for yourself that you have to ask dear old daddy to come and save your pathetic a*s? And you call yourself an Alpha’s daughter,”
