Sister She Wolves

Zachary Takes Me In

Zachary sat down on my coffee table looking over at me. "Let me see how bad it is." Zachary stated. "It's fine really. I already stitched it closed." I tried to reason with him. "Come live with me - and my pack. We can keep you safe." He said trying to convince me to go with him. I try to get up to go get some Motrin to help with the pain but Zachary stopped me. "Look, I know you are a strong capable woman but you can still be strong and let me help you. Now let - me - see - it." He commanded using his alpha voice. I let him turn me to him and grab my leg. He gently set my leg on his lap and lifted the medical tape off so he could see. "Jesus, he got you good. Where'd you lean to give stitches?" He inquired. "I've had to patch myself up a lot over the years. There have been lots of people trying to take me down. No one cared that I was just trying to take care of my sisters." I explain with a shrug.

"Please let me help you. I'll take you to the pack doctor so he can make sure you don't need anything else. You can have your own room. Please don't be stubborn this time. Let someone else take care of you for a change." Zachary asks moving to sit next to me. "I want to let you help me, it's just. Look people around me die. And I don't want anything bad to happen to you or your pack because of the trouble that follows me. If wolves keep coming to try to kill me they're not going to stop just because I join your pack. They will follow me. The rouges are trying to finish what they started four years ago. They want to kill my sisters and I but so far I've managed to kill everyone that's come. Eventually I will run out of luck." I confide in him.

"Well if you won't come with me then I'll just have to stay here with you. I'll keep you company and keep an eye out while you rest." Zachary tries to offer. "It's really not necessary, I'll be fine. I don't like the idea of keeping you from your pack. It's ok, you can go." I tell him trying to put him at ease. "Screw this. Your coming with me and that's that." Zachary commands as he carries me to his car. Halfway to the car we bust out laughing and I relax a little. He sets me in the passenger seat and runs around to the drivers side. Zachary looks at me with a smile as he starts the car.

Once we get to his house he picks me back up and carries me inside. Zachary takes me to his office and sets me on a couch he tells me to stay put and he'd be right back in a second. He stays gone for a while and just as I started falling asleep I hear Anabelle.

"How did you get her to let you bring her here? Did you drug her or something?" Anabelle asks. "No, I didn't. He tries to calm my panicking sister. "She never wants to seem weak to anyone not even us her sisters so, why did she just let you see her that way?" She inquires with her hand on her hip. " I don't know will you relax. She's perfectly safe with me" He exclaims as he inches closer to the door. Before Anabelle can question him further Seth comes to calm his mate. Zachary takes the opportunity to go to Alexandria.

"Here, I brought you a water and a some snacks. I wasn't sure if you are hungry. Also the doctor will be here any minute." Zach tells me as he takes his seat at his desk. I take a few drinks of the water and set everything down on the table. My phone starts vibrating in my pocket. I pull it out and it's my sister blowing up my phone. I answer the tenth call. "Hello" I say with the phone away from my head in case there was yelling. Anabelle asks "How are you? Are you ok? Why are you here? Have you been drugged? Do we need to save you?" All I can do is laugh at my sisters rant of never ending questions. "First things first, No I have not been drugged. Second no I don't need saving. I am fine. I'm here to have the pack doctor look at my leg. Is it a problem that I am here?" I ask feeling a little insecure. "No, no it's not that. I just thought something was wrong. You never want to leave the house unless you had to so, I got worried." Anabelle explains. "Call you back doctor's here." I tell her as I hang up.

"Hi my name is Garrett. I'm the pack doctor." He tells me shaking my hand. "So what leg is it" he asks putting gloves on. " My left one." I answer. "It's higher up on your thigh right?" He inquires. I nod. " I need to pull your pants down for minute if that's ok." He states. I nod and lean back to pull them down for him. He takes my bandage off and starts to check it over. The doctor pulls a few things from his bag including new bandages. While he's cleaning my wound he asks me some questions. I answer them as best I can. He pushes lightly around the wound checking to see if I have any internal bleeding. I say ow a couple times and I hear Zachary growling behind me and Garrett flinches. After he's finished He rewraps it with a fresh dressing. I tell him thank you as he exits.

"So lets go down to dinner." Zach says coming to me to pick me up. "I can walk you know." I tell him as I relax in his arms. We make it to the kitchen and everyone stops talking to stare at us. It feels a little weird but when I make eye contact they are all smiling at us. I smile at them as Zachary sets me in the chair next to his. Zachary sits down looking over at me with a lope sided grin. Victoria sets a plate of food in front of Zachary and myself before she reach down to squeeze me to death. Everyone goes back to talking and eating. I actually laugh a few times it was nice to be seated at a table full of pack family. I haven't been this at peace in a long time.
