The alphas damaged mate

Chapter 3

I had been pacing the corridor for what felt like hours when Dr Harland comes out, “Doctor, how is she? Will she be ok?”, “she’s very weak, dehydrated and extremely malnourished, the nurses are cleaning her up now and changing her into a gown. Once they are finished they will draw some blood and take her for X-rays, I will then be able to better assess and treat her injuries, she will also be put on a drip to get fluids and nutrients into her, may I ask who she is Alpha?, we don’t have a name or medical background for her.” “She is your Luna, unfortunately that is all I know, she was like this when I found her.” “Ok Alpha, I will keep you informed on her condition, once the nurses have finished and she is comfortable you will be able to sit with her”, “thank you Doctor”.

I sit down and call Kyle for an update, “Hello,” “Kyle, do you have an update for me yet?” No, not yet, I have checked the national and international missing persons database’s but there is nobody matching her description. I also have a team contacting every pack within 50 miles of where we found her, but nothing so far with just her description to go by, it might help if we had a photo we could email around” “ok I will take one once the doctor and nurses have finished with her, keep me informed in the meantime” “will do Alpha” I hang up and continue waiting.

After a while I see the nurses wheel her out, now the dirt is gone I can see how pale her skin is, her arms are stick thin, and bruised, and her face is thin and has no colour to it except for bruises, her lips are thin, dry and cracked and she has a scar going from her forehead through her right eyebrow and another going across her chin. As the nurses wheel her off towards the X-ray room Trixie, a young nurse still in training comes out carrying her clothes, “ Alpha, what would you like me to do with these?” I look at them for a moment and wonder if they could provide a clue about who she is or where she came from, “here, I will take them” I say as I take the clothes, “is this everything” I ask “yes Alpha, she had no underwear or footwear and nothing in her pockets.” “Ok thank you Trixie.”

I sit down and start looking over the clothes, I start with the T-shirt, it is black with a picture of a heavy metal band on the front, I look at the label and see that it’s a boys size 16 yrs, I see it has a faded name on it, I can make out the letters lu—an, I sniff the T-shirt but the only scents I get are my Luna and dirt, next I look at the Jogging bottoms they are plain black, also for a teenage boy but these only have 2 letters L and J, I call Kyle and give him this information in the hope it might help, then I call Sophia, my Beta female and Kyle’s mate and tell her to come to the hospital, then call my mother Grace and tell her what has happened, within a few minutes my mum and dad arrive at the hospital “oh honey” my mum says as she hugs me, “she is in good hands here” my dad Hugo says “I’m sure she will be ok. As we are talking Sofia arrives with Leah my Gamma female and Louis’s mate Both asking “what’s wrong Alpha why are you at the hospital?” I fill them in on everything that has happened and tell them that she is going to need Clothes, underwear, shoes, toiletries, the full works, “yes Alpha, what are her sizes?” Asks Sofia. Just then the nurses start wheeling her back to her room and I hear everyone gasp in shock as they see her. Martha tells me they are about to set up the drip then I will be able to go in.

“Oh my goddess the poor girl” I hear my mother say, “she’s so thin” says Leah, “yes she is” I reply “and when I get my hands on those responsible for this their dead” I say.

A few moments later the nurses come out and Martha says “you can go in now, Doctor Harland is looking over the X-rays and waiting for the blood test results which he has put a rush on then he will be through to talk with you” “ok, thank you Martha.”

We all go into the room and see her delicate frame lay on the bed connected to the drip, a catheter and an ecg machine monitoring her heart rate, I immediately go over to the bed and take her little hand in mine. As I look her over I notice she has a crooked finger, bruises covering everywhere I can see and scars old and new on her arms as well. “Why hasn’t her wolf been healing her” I ask “when the body is too weak it can make the wolf weak as well” my dad says. I take a photo of her and send it to Kyle then sit down on the bedside chair and continue holding her hand.

Mum, Sofia and Leah leave to fetch some things for my Luna and me and my dad goes to find more chairs and a put-up-bed for me to use.

A little later with my dad and I sat either side of the bed the doctor comes in and says “I have the results Alpha, the blood test shows she is very anaemic and has very low levels on all nutrients especially vitamin D, the X-Rays show that she has had multiple broken bones over the years, none of which look like they have been treated, some of these will need to be reset when she is strong enough for the surgery.” “How long will that be doctor? When will she wake up?” “It’s impossible to say at the moment, we will be giving her strong doses of Iron, vitamin D and calcium and a boost of vitamin K daily until her levels are back to normal, she will also be on antibiotics for a kidney infection for the next week, then all we can do is monitor her and wait” “ok thank you doctor”.

My mum comes back first she has flowers that she sets about putting in a vase then sits them on the over-bed table, she then hands me a duffel bag and says “I knew you’re not going to want to leave her side so I grabbed you some clothes and toiletries” “thanks mum” she then opens the other bag she has and hands my a container that I see she has filled with sandwiches, fruit and veggies and crisps, then hands me a couple of bottles of water. Continuing to empty the bag I see she has some things for my Luna - a hair brush, de-tangling spray, a toothbrush, face and body wipes and fluffy socks, mum picks up the hairbrush and spray then says “now let’s see what I can do about those knots in her hair” then sets about spraying and brushing, by the time she is finished my Lunas hair looks lovely and smooth.
