Chapter one

1208 Words
Chapter one I have been working at the town hospital for the past two years. I commute between my pack and the town. My father the Alpha of Black blood pack has an agreement with the town’s mayor so that I can stay in the town 4 days a week while I work. I was on my last day of the week, about halfway into my shift when Valentina my nurse friend practically yelled at me through mind-link ¨Emma come quick!¨ I could hear the urgency of whatever situation was going on and considering that while at the hospital she usually never mind links me I thought it must be something important, so I dropped everything I was doing and rushed over to where she was.  I entered a private room with three males in it. She looked at me concerned -“they say they were attacked by hunters”- she says. It takes me about a minute to actually realize what she is saying and jump into action. There was only one man with serious injuries. He had gunshot wounds in his stomach, the other two only had bruises that didn’t seem that serious. I asked him ¨can you hear me alright?¨ while I administered some pain medication; he nodded and I quickly asked him what had happened and the only thing he actually managed to say before knocking out was ¨silver bullet.¨ For the next minute while starting to clean his wounds I am silently in shock as when I had entered the room my wolf had cried to me “mate”. - I had never thought of actually meeting my mate if I was being honest, I mean sure as a kid you imagined getting married; but as the daughter of an alpha, I actually thought I was going to end up being married off to form an alliance with another pack; My brother Julian was going to take over our pack when my father was ready to retire, I didn’t mind that because I actually like serving people more than leading which is why when I was old enough I had asked my father to allow me to go to school and go to college and eventually med school-. Snapping out of it... I looked at Valentina as a way to remind her to remove the unharmed man out of the room. Valentina seemed to understand as she quickly and politely asked them to wait in the waiting room. One of the men said ¨No way I am leaving the Alpha alone ¨.  I, a bit annoyed turn around and say ¨ Alpha? That must mean you are the beta ¨ He looks at me and nods a bit embarrassed, he introduces himself. ¨ Sorry Doc, My name is Jack, I am beta of the Blue Moon pack.¨ I nod to him and reply ¨ well Jack do you mind telling us what happened?¨ he nods again and while I am prepping everything to extract the silver bullet he starts telling us how they came into town because apparently the third male who I now know is called Ivan found his mate in the town while collecting supplies for the month. He says they were here to pickup the supposed mate because she wanted to run away with him and join the pack, but that they ran into trouble when they arrived at the house, this mate of his was married and her husband was waiting for them at the house to hunt them. Supposedly, she was not in on it and was now being held against her will at the house with her husband and his men. I look at him as if pointing out that I understand while finishing to extract the silver bullet out of him. I put the bullets in a metal tray he had three gunshot wounds but I only had managed to extract two out of him. Concerned that a third one was still in him Valentina and I turn him around but thankfully we found one exit wound on his back almost near his lungs. I tell them we are taking him for imagining and as much as they argue that they want him seen at the pack hospital instead, I tell them the bullets had wolfsbane in them and that’s why he hasn’t been able to recover as quickly as he should. Jack and Ivan look at me surprised but agree. After that they seem a bit more relaxed, and Valentina takes him away. Since the idea was that nobody should know who they actually are while waiting for him to be brought back, I asked them for intake information on the alpha like his name and age, allergies, etc. They provide me with the information they knew and about 15 mins later the Alpha - Leo- comes back still heavily sedated with Valentina.  I inform them it’ll be about 30 mins before I get results back but that I am pretty positive he will be out in order to help him recover for about two days. Jack nods and exits the room saying he will contact the pack as his mate Solenna did not know anything about them since they had left the pack earlier that day. I take this opportunity to call my father and let him know I will be staying two extra days in town because of some emergency at the hospital - of course I omit the part where I mention I found my mate, he is the alpha of another pack and he was shot in the town where I work and I was trying to save his life- , even though my dad tried to object to me staying he eventually agreed, he would never say no to me anyway.  I take the next two days to take care of Leo and while some complications had raised he was now stable and according to my calculations wolfsbane should be completely out of his system by now, so he should be waking up soon. Valentina had stayed with me the extra two days and I had informed her that Leo was my mate. The main reason she stayed with me was because she did not want to have to explain to my father what the emergency was. She is a pretty good friend of mine but lying isn’t her strongest quality.  I however had not shared with Jack or Ivan that I was Leo’s mate not only because I wanted to wait and see how Leo reacted when he woke up but also because I did not know if he was already mated to someone else.  I was getting pretty anxious thinking that he would soon wake up and everything that could happen after was getting the best of me. Around 11am as I was checking his vital signs and fluids he woke up. Ivan and Jack were at the cafeteria, getting coffee and some bagels cause I had asked them to eat something, otherwise they’d be the next ones on the hospital bed. I hadn’t noticed he had woken up when I suddenly heard his voice, chills ran through my body in delight when leo said “so the bastards left me, ha?”
