CHAPTER 1

I HIT SOMETHING HARD

SANDRA'S P.O.V

Having attended to many sick patients in one day, and the fact that it was for free gave me a sense of achievement and a satisfying feeling, sighing a sigh of relief, pleased with how my day went. I loved my job. I had only one tiny problem.

Mr Cantas, my boss, usually collects the keys to the basement.

You may be wondering why a clinic has a basement? Well news flash, it turns out that it's a place where we keep those who are dead and don't have any family members or friends to come take them away when they have given up the ghost.

It's not entirely a basement though,it has different sections like: female section, male section, teenage section and newborns.

“Sandra? Hand me the keys to the basement would ya?” Mr. Cantas asked whilst looking at something on the screen of his phone. The reflection of it showing blue on his face as I quickly looked for the keys inside my bag, handing them to him.

“Sure thing Mr Cantas,here you go.” Handing the keys to him,I turned to leave since it was almost 8pm which was my closing hour.

“Oh and Sandra? Call Martin's for me as you head out.”

“No problem Mr Cantas.”

Leaving Cinatas clinic felt like leaving a warm place. I had always loved to help people ever since I was little and my parents always encouraged me to do so. No matter how much people judged me,I just didn't care. I loved helping people and that was my life.

I remembered one time in 5th grade,when I helped a boy in my class who was injured. He had a slight cut on his lower left foot. The images of my mom attending to my own wounds reflected immediately,how she blew on my wounds telling me I'd be alright, how she then applied a cute bandage to the wound and then gave me a cookie just to make me stop crying.

I did the same thing for the kid, squatting on my knees as I bent my head to blow on his injury, telling him not to cry and even handing him a piece of candy. Holding his hands, leading him to Miss Corner who was our teacher then. I remembered how she praised me for being kind and doing a good thing.

Looking at myself today, I'd say it was Miss Corner's words that inspired me to become a nurse today. Staring at the phone in my hand, seeing the time. 7:45pm. There were still a few minutes left before 8pm. Since I was done with work,I decided to get some groceries from the convenience store a few blocks from Cinatas clinic. Figuring I was running out of some food at home, besides I had just gotten paid hadn't I?

Clutching my bag, walking along the block. Walking into the store,the cool breeze of the air conditioner hits my skin and makes me shiver a bit. It felt ticklish. Grabbing few veggies here, milk there, and other necessities I needed at home I went straight to the cashier. I paid with my card and walked out holding two bags full of groceries.

Realizing I didn't use my car to get to the convenience store from the clinic, I cursed under my breath as I had to walk back again.

Reaching my car I opened the back door and dropped my grocery bags inside. Closing the back door and opening the driver's door.I checked my phone again. This time it was 8:07pm.

Sighing,I started the car and left…

“It's just 8pm and the whole road is dark as shit.” I muttered under my breath… whilst driving,

Everywhere was pretty dark and if not for the car lights I had, I was sure I wouldn't have been able to see the road clearly.

Few miles now, almost home and then I hit something.

“Oh God, what have I done? Did I just kill someone?”

I was panicking as I stepped out of my car,beads of sweat dripping from my face, hands shaking as I closed the door.

With the help of the car light, I could identify that I had hit a male, not just any male. A masculine looking one. I froze, instantly mesmerized at the beautiful thing I had hit.

“f**k! Sandra you just hit someone,he could be dead. Pulse Sandra. His pulse check it.” My mind rattled in my head.

Stepping closer, I realized this man was naked. As much as I hated to admit it, he looked like a Greek god. “Sandra get yourself together, it's not your first time seeing a naked body. A perfectly sculptured body.” My mind kept on saying.

Feeling hot, I reached and took his wrist, thank God I felt a pulse. I hadn't killed someone. But there were several bruises and scratches and cuts all over him. A hit from a car couldn't have caused such injuries, could it?

Letting out a sigh of relief and then another thought struck me. I couldn't leave him here. Did he have a family?

I felt pity for the handsome stranger. What got him out in the night, looking naked and helpless?

Just as I stood up to fetch him a towel to cover him up and to carry my little first aid kit from the boot of my car, he stirred and groaned. As if he was in deep pain.

I immediately crouched down again gently holding his injured arm.

” Hey there, what's your name, how did you end up here?”

“Jared…” he tried to say more but I could feel how hard it was for him to say words.

“Okay Jared, can you remember where you stay? And how did you get so many injuries?” I asked as softly as I could, staring at his long lashes and blue eyes. Seeing how he frowned his brows together as if he was annoyed at my question.

Wait annoyed? Why'd he be annoyed? I was trying to help him.

“The elst…I fought with one. And I stay with my pack.” He looked at me with those intense blue eyes, trying to get into a sitting position but failing miserably. He clenched his teeth in pain and then I heard something I wasn't sure I heard. It sounded like the growl of an animal,a wolf if I were more specific. That couldn't have been from him could it? No, it wasn't possible. What if there was actually a wolf in the forest? I started panicking as the thought crossed my mind,we weren't safe here.

“Umm ok Jared, I don't know what an elst is and also do not know what you mean by your pack, let's get into my car first. Do you think you can stand?

He stared at me with those blue eyes, the intensity in them seemed to have evaporated and replaced with confusion. “What is a car?” He asked. Oh my God he can't be serious right now. Was he a cave man? That would explain why he was naked I guess and the pack stuff was ridiculous but I didn't have that time to laugh, it was getting really dark and I was more worried about the creatu

res in the forest unknown to me than one which was few inches away from me.
