Alpha, don´t touch.

12. Pearl

When I woke up, it was light out, and there was a weird vibe in the air. I slowly got out of the hospital bed and look around. there was a lot of people running around all confused. I scanned the room and caught Doctor Sherman's eyes.

" Pearl, good your up, I really need you help, He spoke across the room, " please tell me you are okay to help?"

"yes, I am okay to help, where do you want me?" I asked.

"start in the next room, and work your way through" he responded.

I quickly walked to next room, and the first bed I came to was occupied by Beta Luke, Lauren was sitting in the chair next to him, her eyes all red from crying.

She jumped up when she saw me and gave me a huge hug "Please tell me he´s going to be okay, and also tell me you are okay!"

"I am fine, its just a few scratches babe", Beta Luke reassured from his position in the bed "its going to heal in no time".

I went and checked the bandage on his stomach, and the ones on his arms and legs. He had deep nasty cut on his arms and legs, luckily the scathes on his stomach was superficial, but still needed to be cleaned.

"It looks like they were made with silver claws" I look nervously into Beta Luke eyes.

"that's because, they were", he said. with a now a painful look in his eyes. "they had silver claws and silver canines, it must have been painful for them while doing, but it sure helped them against us.

We lost a few good warriors last night", he continued

I slowly started cleaning his wounds, while he continued talking. I applied a little healing into his wounds without him even noticing it. I know from experience that he will heal quicker and nicer. We as wolfs heal must quicker then humans, but silver leaves scars on us, and these nasty cuts on Beta Luke's body, would leave nasty scars, but with a little bit of moon goddess healing, you wouldn't notice them after some time.

"Our patrol were killed even before they saw anyone coming", He went on," I don't know how you got to stay unharmed till I got there. It was like they didn't even notice you were there.

"they notice", I said, "they had me surrounded and one was so close I could almost taste him. If it hadn't been for Aaron, I don't know what would have happened". It all of a sudden accorded to me "AARON" I yell, "where is he", I haven't smelled him or seen him anywhere, when I first came too and while working on Luke's wounds. I left everything I was doing and started running from bed to bed in the infirmary, looking for him, while screaming his name. My heart in my throat, and tears pressing behind my eyes. full panic mode again.

Doctor Sherman quickly caught up to me and pull me into his arms, so I couldn't go any further. "stop Pearl, calm down", he softly hushed in my ear. "He is in the private room right down the hall", he turned me around and pointed to the closed door at the end of the room. I could see, Beta Kyle, with a worried look on his face, pacing back and forth in the room, through the door window. "He is going to be fine, he is however badly injured and in extreme pain. I had to put him under, just to examine him. He will be out the next couple of days. So I would like you to go back to your job, and when you are done, you can go see him. He firmly said, while looking straight into my eyes, just to make his point.

"We have lot of injured people here to take care of, they are all going to be okay, but they need to be fixed up and discharged and if you could give them some moon goddess healing, I am sure they appreciate it. He slowly release his grip on me and softly pushed me into Beta Luke direction. "now go back to work" he said.

I went back to cleaning Beta Luke's wounds, some of his wounds were so deep, that I needed to stich him up. Just thinking about Luke's wounds, I wondered how bad Aaron wounds must be like. Luke hadn't been there from the start, Aaron however were.

I finished cleaning and stitching up Luke, I didn't discharge him right away, I wanted to make sure that his pain level went down and to see if he started healing alright. I left him in my sisters care. Just to move on to the next bed. same procedure, clean, stich, heal and then leave them with a worried family member, like a mother or father, brother or sister, and then wait for improvement in condition,.

Our pack warriors are all mate less, just in case attack like the one last night occurs. Its pack law, you can be a warrior and help protect the pack, but once you find you fated mate, you no longer get to patrol or fight rouges. you are assigned another pack job.

Luke wasn't suppose to be there last night, so not only is Aaron in some medical coma because of me, but I got my sisters mate injured as well.

Around lunch time, I was half way through my room of injured warriors, I saw my father enter the infirmary, he went slowly through the row of beds and had a small talk with each of the injured warrior, until he had reach the private room where Aaron was. He walked in and closed the door behind him, few minutes later he came back out with Alpha Bain and the woman Carol, when he passed me, he stopped and put a hand on my shoulder and squeezed, "keep up the good work, doctor" he said and gave me a small smile, then he left.

Before starting a new patient I mind linked the kitchen staff, to see if they had time to drop some food off, I occurred to me, that first of all, I was hungry, and by looking around so was all of my patients, they had been here almost as long as me, and secondly they needed to use energy on healing. We usually don't allow food in the infirmary, but I guess we could make an exception, they did however save my life last night.

The next couple of hours went by in a daze, I had some food, and finished the rest of the wounded warriors, then going back to start over and started discharging the ones who showed that they were no longer in pain and their wounds was healing, by the end of the day my room was clear and I finally had time to go se Aaron.
