Wounded Luna

terrible things and unanswered questions

**Fenrir POV**

Once i had gotten the girl in the jeep and started driving in had a moment to think, it was faint but I pretty sure I had felt a tingling sensation when i touched her and the part of her scent that's not all wrong, is pretty nice, very nice actually.

"Tor in this girl...." i start to ask my wolf but I'm not sure if want the answer right now.

"Honestly, I'm not really sure, I think she might be, but she smells wrong, like wolfsbane, and a bunch of other stuff mixed together, and another scent, faint and fading, another alpha maybe" Tor growled angrily.

"hey buddy, I'm angry too, but that's not going to help right now. first things first we need to get the girl medical attention, hopefully we can get some answers, after Doctor Lynn runs some tests, and more answers when if this girl is in a state where she can actually talk to us." i tell my wolf

not being able to mind link while driving I connected my phone to the jeeps Bluetooth and called Doctor Lynn.

"Alpha," cames Lynn voice over the car speakers

"Lynn, you at the pack hospital yet?" I asked

"I'm still a few minutes out, care to explain what's going on, the beta just said i wouldn't believe him if he tried to explain what little he knew." she said

"yeah, I don't know much either, to be honest, I have an unknown tranquilized female, roughly 4'9" maybe 90lbs, covered in dity bandages, partially shifted, possibly feral, definitely aggressive, that's really all I know." i explain

"Dear Goddess, please tell me your joking." Lynn states

"sorry Lynn wish I could. meet me at the back entrance, I want this girl kept off official records until we know more." i instruct her

"understood Alpha, I'll be there in five minutes." Lynn says

"I'll be at least 8 minutes, see you in a bit." i tell her and hang up the call.

I drive as fast as I safely can in this rain, wishing I had taken something other then an open top jeep, but whatever, to late now. I took me about 9 minutes to get to the pack hospital. Lynn was already waiting with a gurney. I jumped out and ran around to the passenger side, picked up the girl and placed her on the gurney, as we rushed her inside, before the door closed behind us, Lynn was already assessing her.

"female, late teens early 20s, severely malnourished, dehydrated, partially shifted state possibly obscuring injuries" Lynn speaks into a digital recorder, then cuts away at the bandages. "multiple cuts, and abrasions, slight inflammation, possible infection, deep bruising, all consistent with prolonged captivity and abuse. BP 90/50 heart rate 45 bpm."

I dont interrupt and just let Lynn do her thing.

"ok alpha, you want this hush hush, so your playing nurse tonight, let's get her down stairs to the high security I.C.U." Lynn tells me, and i grab the gurney rails and push it along behind her into the elevator.

we get the girl downstairs, into a high security room, and Lynn starts hooking her to monitors and machines, then pulls out a needle, draws several vials of blood and gets an iv drip going.

"ok, alpha, I need to remove the rest of her... clothing... if you could can it that, and finish examining her, please step out into the hall." Lynn says.

"mmm, fine, I'll go to the hall." i agreed and stepped out, not liking the feeling of being told what to do, but I also don't want to be away from the girl, I already feel very protective over her, a fact I can tell Lynn took notice of quickly looking from me to the girl a few times.

In the hall way, i mind link Jason. "Beta"

"yes Alpha." he responded quickly.

"Everything surrounding this girl, I want it cleared off any official pack records, until we know more, I don't anyone knowing that she is here, something about this whole situation...I don't like it Jason, I haven't gotten an actual report from Doctor Lynn, but the part of her initial assessment that I overheard suggests prolonged captivity and abuse." i tell him

"Yeah, I agree, the way she seemed to be trapped mid-shift like that, something is definitely funky here. we'll keep the circle small and need to know. oh and just a heads up, Jessica was looking for you, I told her that after you meeting with the Wiccan's you chose to stay the night with your grandmother rather than run back in the rain." he tells me.

"mmm, I need to figure out how to get rid of Jessica, without insulting her grandfather if possible, I don't want to cross a supernatural council member, if i can avoid, but i will not mate that shewolf, and she will never be Luna of Moon Glade." I grumbled through our link.

"that's good to know, the pack hates her, and she is causing a lot of problem especially with the omegas, Emily had to intervene when Jessica almost slapped one the kitchen omegas, yesterday." he informed me, and I think for a moment.

"OK, that might actually help, I want all of Jessica's behavior on official record, with documentation and statements from witnesses, and then I want you to talk to Tony, that yonung omega that likes to train with the warriors, tell him if he can subtly provoke Jessica into hitting him a few times, as a punishment for something extremely minor, and with witnesses, like maybe during a meal in the dining hall, something that can't be viewed as a misunderstanding, I'll give him a fat bonus. Then I can refuse the mate pairing with Jessica on the grounds that she doesn't align with pack values, I want everything clearly documented and on record, clean and clear." I say laying out my plan

"oh man, that's going to be easy, Tony's sister was the omega she tried to hit, so he'll be happy to help, and unlike the other omegas he can few blows from a ranked wolf, without getting to badly injured, he's hoping to earn a chance to participate in the ranking tournament, this summer and get promoted to warrior status." Jason says.

"well technically it's not against the rules for an omega to compete, more that none of them ever have, tell him if he does this he has my support as part of his bonus. it should add a little extra motivation." I tell him

"Will do, so how'd your ritual go?" Jason asked jokingly.

"Shut up beta, Doctor Lynn is ready for me." I say and cut the link, as Lynn steps out into the hall.

"it's...mmm. I don't even know where to start..."Lynn says with a heavy sigh. "it's clear she's on something, several things, and I won't know what until i run blood tests, and I can't administer anything, no pain medicine, or antibiotics, anything to try and reverse her shift, until I know what's already in her system." Lynn slumps against the wall and runs a hand through her hair.

"OK, let's start with the little things, what do we know." I say forcing my voice to be a soft as possible

"She is somewhere between 17 and 22, her canine teeth suggests upper ranking, beta, possibly alpha, but her frame is small even for an omega, which suggests prolonged malnutrition, like since early development, this girl was probably held in captivity her entire life." Lynn starts

"goddess what's the good news." I asked know that was the good news.

"numerous injuries old, and new....and signs of substantial...sexual abuse." Lynn says carefully, and my blood boils.

I take a deep breath trying to keep my rage in check. "Do i want to know?"

"probably not, but I'm still going to tell you. oral, vaginal, and anal tearing consistent with at least 3 years of repeated, non-consensual penetration, however, that said, it would appear based on the damage that she was most likely unconscious or very heavily sedated move for most it, I get the feeling that she was mostly likely kept in a medically controlled comatose state for most of her life. which might have been a small kindness." Lynn explains.

" well, that definitely answers part of a question, and it's not a good answer." I say working very hard to stay calm. "this was done by a pack, rogues wouldn't likely have the resources for something like this. but who, why, and who is she to make it worth doing?"

"i can't say, I'd suggest looking into missing ranked pups form 14 to 20 years ago, but if you start asking questions it could tip off someone that's she's here." Lynn says.

"no, that i won't do, its extremely rare for ranked pups to be taken and not recovered, it would be a very small group, narrow it down to females even fewer, unless her mother was a rogue, in which case her birth and abduction could have gone entirely unrecorded." I point out. "run the blood tests, put a rush on it, and when safe, give her something to keep her comfortably sedated, for her safety and ours, no need to keep her comatose, just..."

"sedated enough to be relatively lucid, but not able to put up fight. I can do that, but I'm not fully happy with it. this girls been through enough alpha." Lynn clearly states

"i give you my word as alpha, Lynn, its a temporary measure, just until we can confirm that she not a threat, and she understands that she is safe here. she already fully resisted a direct order from me during her capture." I say and Lynn relaxed slightly

"I still don't like it, but I agree with your reasoning, and I know you will honor your word. so I'll do it, but not until i know what she is already on." Lynn conceded

"Thanks Lynn " I say and head out.
