Swallowed by Darkness

After Math

the pale white wall in front of me moved, it swung back and forth with a plastic snap as it did so, I was in a tent.

ruffling could be heard outside and a zipper started it's way across the wall. the sound of arguing voices could be heard

"I did say we needed to move the packhouse off that part and move higher. but because big alpha wanted to stay close to his little girlfriend you put everyone at risk!"

a slap, hard and fast echoed

"shut your mouth Mav, you are in no place to talk as you are only an omega. she's not my girlfriend and if you have such a problem go take it up with my dad"

someone was in my tent. the clip of a board and the scribble of a pen had me shooting across the bed away from them almost ripping the needle out if my arm, I winced.

"it's okay Las, your safe here."

a thin male with a curley chestnut brown mop on his heard looked up from his clip board. his hazel and blue eyes bore into mine looking for something, the black round Frame glasses sat on his nose

"may I have your name?" his voice was soothing and calm

"A-Amber"

"okay Amber, two days in here and your wounds should heal. then you can go back outside any questions please dont hesitate to call out. Im Dr Burney"

he placed the clip board back in its holder beside my cot before leaving and zipping the tent back up, I looked at my arm seeing a drip and bandage, my feet had bloodstained bandages and my head hurt.

"H-hey I have a question"

the argument outside had stopped and everything went back to being quiet, another doctor walked in with a small paper cup "hello child, I'm Nurse Maple. the doctor is with another patient right now. I have these, they should help ease the pain"

I took the paper cup and picked up a water bottle off the small table next to me, "thank you.." she watched as I drank the water and took the content of the cup, everything went hazy and I began to feel drowsy, the white tent turning into a surreal show of fireflies before everything went black again.

by the time I woke up the white tent was covered in Orange, it was sunrise, I coughed as quiet as I could. there was a rustle beside be and I looked over this guy half hidden by the darkness of the corner he sat in, he had a black shirt and dark denim jeans, he was obviously asleep. how long had he been there for? his dark brown shoulder length hair fell over his face, he looked so vulnerable.

the zip of the tent and my eyes snapped shut pretending to be asleep, a small rustle of footsteps came past me.

"come on boy. leave this las to rest, you go home and cone back in the proper daylight hours. she should be awake and ready to leave then"

a small stir and a groan "but is she okay?"

"she's fine, perfectly fine, she's been here for a week. her wounds foot and face have healed"

"my what...?" I didn't realise I had been the one to speak until both of them looked over at me.

"oh las you are awake early!" Dr Burney came up to my side and turned on the lamp.

I hissed as my eyes watered at the sudden bright light, the male who was sleeping now stood, tall and handsome above me trying to shade my eyes from the light

"get off her you, your gonna scare the poor las"

"Not if you blind her first!"

"she's fine!"

his hands where grabbed and thrown away, why was he acting like this?

"how long did you say I was here? and where is here?"

"you have been at the Bloodstone pack medical tent for a week now. After the flood this boy here had rescued you"

shit. we missed it again.

My wolf was pissed, we missed our birthday again. I was now 17 and able to find a mate. but who would want a rouge?

"so can I leave...?"

"not just yet. we need to do some further testing and a final checkup before you can go back out to the wild."

why where they being so nice to me... I'm a rouge in a pack tent...

"she's not going back out there."

"that's up to her boy, now get out before I slap you with this board!"

"ghee fine, I'm leaving, I will be back in a few hours"

"just because your bloody alpha ceremony is in a few days doesn't mean you get to boss me around just yet boy."

the boy left the tent now feeling a little colder than it had before. as I woke up the room became a little bit brighter, the sun coming through the tent wall.

"You will be all good to go soon. I will be back in a bit with your release papers"

I'd say a few hours had gone by before anyone came back to me, and the first one in the room was the tall long haired boy from earlier.

"hey! I brought you some stuff to eat. you wouldn't have eaten anything in a few days..."

he pulled out a plastic wrapped crosant and a small bottle of Apple juice he smiled as he handed it to me.

"why are you being so nice...?"

I asked taking the crosant out of his hands unwrapping it and looking over to him, the smell of a fresh ham and cheese crosant, drifted across the room.

"what do you mean?"

I brought the crosant to my lips taking a small bite before melting at the taste. I had never tasted anything this good in my life.

"Well" I started slowly as I continued to bite into the food "I'm a rouge wolf. And no pack house likes a rouge wolf"

"your not a rouge anymore if you accept my invitation to the pack."
