The Luna's Secret

Chapter 8

Abby

"So you say after you touched the note with the wolfsbane on it, Arkyn noticed you struggled to breath and produced two vials with this blue liquid and put it on your hands, neck and face?" doctor Matthews ask while examining the vial on his hand.

After our run, we made it back to the packhouse in record time as we ran using our wolf's full speed.

The 3 of us seperated and went off into different directions. I came to speak to doctor Matthews about the stuff Arkyn has while he went to go get the antidote as he calls it and Dante went up to his room to shower.

"Yes. After noticing the wolfsbane, which I'm not even sure how he did because my nose certainly couldn't pick it up, he poured the liquid onto my hands and used the other vial on his hands to put on my face", I tell him while brushing Kat's hair.

"Hallo Luna, doctor" I hear Arkyn's voice as he entered the room. Doctor Matthews stood up and went to shake Arkyn's hand.

"Arkyn. It is possible that they have a dark witch that can infuse the wolfsbane with a note, and how did you feel after that?" , he asked with a curious look at me while sitting down on the chair in the room.

"Strangely enough, after a few seconds I started to feel better. It took away that suffocating feeling that I had. I could breath again, and my lungs felt like it wasn't being trampled on."

"Interesting. Luna may I talk with you and Mr Arkyn in private in my office, please?". I can see he is concerned about something but can't figure out what.

"Sounds like a good idea doc."

Smiling at me, his eyes glazed over which meant he linked someone. A minute later, a nurse come over to take care of Kat and we followed him to his office.

Arkyn

After coming to the packhouse after our run, me and Dante went up to the rooms while Abby went to the hospital. She asked me to get the antidote. While lost in thought at what happened at the lake, Dante spoke beside me. "What in the world did you whisper to the Luna?" he questioned me with a smirk.

'What do you mean?", I look at him because I was sure he heard me ask her that.

"I ducked under the water so I couldn't hear what you asked, but the sound of her heartbeat was clear as day when I was under. I thought for a second there that it her heart will tear through her chest. Whatever you said to her made her flustered."

I gave him a smirk, knowing full well what her heartbeat sounded like. It was making Chaos spin in circles in my head while wagging his tail, the mutt even had his tongue out, dripping with drool at the sight of her bare shoulders.

. "Whatever, if you won't tell me yet, and believe me, I will make you talk eventually, I'm just too tired now and I want a shower. Kat wants to meet us in the living room later right? After you guys are done in the hospital?"

"Yeah, she is going to order pizza and wings for dinner. She asked us to write down our pizza and wings choice with a sauce."

"Okay. Sure thing, I will meet you guys there.", He told me, going to his room.

My room was up on the Luna's floor and Dante got a room on the Gamma's floor.

Going to my room, I grabbed the vials that was in my bag on the bed.

Walking down to the hospital, I saw the receptionist. "Good evening miss, Where can I find the Luna?"

"She is in the the right wing where you will turn left into ICU, room two." She kindly told me with a soft smile. Thank you"

Walking down to the hall, I saw Abby stand outside the door. The doctor whose name I keep forgetting is nowhere to be seen.

Noticing me behind her, she looked over her shoulder and gave me that beautiful smile.

"Hey Luna, Where is the doctor?" asking as I walk up to her.

"He is getting the intravenous drip ready for the antidote. He will be with us soon", she answers while fidgeting with her hands. I also see she is biting her lip, indicating the nervousness.

"Here are the vials," I hand the two vials to her, "I'll be right back, I"m goig to take a shower quickly." I tell her.

"Okay", She said without even looking at me. Her eyes had a lot of hurt and was swelling up with tears, and I want to make her feel better, to let her know that everything will be okay. I decided to take the chance and took her hand softly in mine, making her look at me in shock.

"Hey, you won't lose her. You won't lose your sister". Grabbing her into a hug, I felt the tears that stained my shirt. This is probably the first time someone actually hugged her today.

"Thank you Arkyn" I hear through her labored breath. After a few minutes, I let her go, my arms feeling empty without her in it. "I'll be right back. Need to go to the bathroom quickly. The shower can wait." She just nodded her head. I turned and made my way to the bathroom. Just then, Kat's door opened and out came the doctor. "Evening Luna, follow me."

"So what your saying is that this will possibly work, even though we are taking a huge risk not knowing what will happen when we put it into her intravenous drip Doctor?" I point out, looking at him. After I came back, the doctor wanted to speak with me and Abby in his office to explain what the antidote was. While talking to us and founding out more of how it was created, he did research on the ingredients. "Yes. After everything I have read on the antidote, everything that is in here will work. We just need to do this slowly so that her body won't go into shock and let her slip further; the ingredients you gave me is mostly used to treat infections; but that flower is unknown to me, I have never heard of it, but I have heard enough. Let's keep this between the three of us. If someone knows what we have here, it can blow up very bad quickly.

We need to know what we are dealing with first, so let's go save the Beta's life". The doctor stood up, motioning for us to follow him.

Walking into Kat's room, he asked the nurse to leave. We watched as he hooked up the drip to a hook stand, inserting the needle into her arm. He took one of the vials out of his pocket and poured out half of the vial, setting it to drip slowly.

Turning around, he took Abby's hand, pulling her into a hug and I had to hold back the growl that is threatening to escape my lips; Chaos standing up in a defensive stance.

Chaos, stand down!

He obeyed my command and sat down, still with sneer.

"Go eat something Luna. You look pale, and I don't want see both ranked members in the hospital", he told her with a small smile.

What do you mean she is not leaving the packhouse for a week? We need her! The man's voice screamed into my phone.

Her stupid bodyguard is following her everywhere and I'm struggling to get to her alone. Don't you understand that we need to get her out of here without that brute of an asshole. I ask back as I walk outside. Luckily it's late in the night and everyone is in their home. The packhouse isn't really busy in the evenings except for big pack events.

The Luna ceremony. It's in a week's time. Next Saturday evening. Everyone will be too busy and no one will know you are here. The Beta is still in a coma, so she won't be there for protection. Don't bring a lot of people or you will gain attention and your plan will go to hell.

Yeah, just make sure she is alone. We will have to kill that bodyguard of her.

Hearing footsteps, I decided to end the call quickly. Talk later. Keep me updated.
