Saved by a human girl

Anchor

Mandy’s Pov

I drove in a hurry to the hospital. I sigh in frustration, thinking that Mike is on duty today and he will corner me the moment he sees me.

Maggie, I know for a fact, would not be there, since I dropped her off at her apartment.

How will I get all the medicinal supplies out of the hospital with no one noticing?

I stopped at the hospital ER in a rush and jumped out of the car. The only thing that makes me do this is those girls that are about to die.

I walked into the ER with no one noticing me, not even the security guard.

I knew Dylan was close by. That’s the only explanation for everyone not noticing a damn thing, and I can feel his presence.

“Maggie, what are you doing here? I thought you were taking the day off?” I asked when I saw her with the supervision phone in her hand directing patients to rooms.

“Yeah well, your jackass of a director called me in on my day off,” she spits. I smiled at her, and the ambulance pulled a teenage girl into the ER who overdosed on drugs on the bridge. I pulled my doctor’s coat on, ready to jump in and help.

*there’s no time Mandy, get the supplies.* I heard Dylan’s voice in my head.

I have to help these girls. They are seizing and if I don’t help, they might die from whatever drug they overdosed on.

I ignored Dylan’s voice and gave the girls an IV drip and helped Mike, who was the doctor on duty for the day.

“You have no idea how much it means that you are here to help me,” Mike said, standing on the other side of the girl.

“I love you,” he mumbled and smiled at me. I couldn’t say it back, as Dylan’s voice keeps reminding me that the girls need me at the warehouse.

“Mandy?” Dylan stands at the door with glowing eyes, putting both me and Mike in a trance.

“The medicine,” he growled. I walked to the medicine cabinet and took all the supplies I needed.

No one is noticing what I’m doing, and Dylan’s eyes are still glowing. Maggie just stared at me while Mike was trying his best to save the girls. I can’t think straight when Dylan’s eyes are yellow and no one seemed to function normally.

“They will be fine,” he whispered when we walked past Mike, where he was intubating one girl who stopped breathing.

I just walked right past him without helping him.

The moment Dylan and I stepped outside, he turned his eyes back to normal and I could think clearly again.

“Why did you do that? That girl is about to die and you just made me walk right past her.” I yelled.

“Mike will handle it. I need you to help me, please. Those girls need you to save them as well.” I looked back at the ER, seeing how the nurses and doctors struggled to keep the girls alive. They vomit and seize. I saw how Maggie shook her head, which meant that one passed on.

Tears filled my eyes in seconds, and Dylan tried to touch me, but I jerked away.

“She was gone already, there is no saving her. Those other four girls, you can save them.” He explains that I have no say in the matter.

“Do you even care about these girls, or do you just want them to get strong enough to be human blood banks for the other future Alphas? For all I know, you're all friends and just using me to heal your humans.” By this time, I don’t even care if he’s a werewolf who can kill me in seconds.

“Mandy?”

“No!” I interrupted him.

“The only reason I’m helping you is that they’re human, so right after this, you need to stay away from me and my friends.” I opened the door and started the Engen to drive back to the warehouse.

Dylan is dead quiet, not even a glimpse of my side. I feel angry and sad, but the sad part of what I feel is the passion and electricity still replenishing my body by just sitting next to Dylan, and I have no idea how to get rid of the feelings? I don’t even feel compelled to have feelings for him, but this entire world he lives in is messed up, and not to even think how crazy it is.

“You’re not going to say anything to me?” I asked when I couldn’t take the silence anymore.

“You said that I should leave you alone after this, and believe me or not, Mandy, but I care about you, you were my chosen Human, and as hard as I tried to fight it, I was not supposed to fall in love with you.” my heart sank to my feet when he said he’s in love with me. Which made me think I would’ve probably ended up in the same warehouse as the other girls if he didn’t fall in love with me.

I scratch my bite mark that’s still wrapped with a bandage, and Dylan glared at me.

“Does it still hurt?”

“No, it’s not hurting. I think it’s healing. That’s why it’s so itchy.” he nodded and kept quiet again.

We finally stopped at the warehouse, and the girls were barely hanging in there.

I placed an IV in the first girl and gave her some infection fluids through the IV drip and explain to Dylan how to help the next one.

I have the IV drip inside the one and moved to the next one. My eye catches Dylan who is sweating and struggling to get the needle inside the girl’s body.

“I can’t f*****g do this.” I kept quiet and took the needle from him.

“She doesn’t have veins.” he sits flat on his ass and you can see that he feels sorry for the girls, or that’s what I think I’m seeing.

“She won’t have veins. They have drained her of her blood.” I took the needle and looked everywhere for a vein and finally found one in her neck. It’s not ideal, but it will work.

After we placed fluids and infection fluids in the IV drips, I grabbed my bag and walked outside to get some fresh air.

The fresh air fills my nostrils and I could feel Dylan right behind me.

I love how he makes me feel. Even after this, we all have that drug that strains us.

My strain is Dylan. The unfamiliar feeling, yet you crave that unfamiliar feeling to fill your body. With every touch, it’s a different feeling, a different way of reacting towards it. It’s hard to explain if you feel attracted to someone who chose you as a human blood bank.

I’m latched to an anchor underneath the ocean, and Dylan is my only oxygen at this moment unless I let go of the anchor and swim for air, but I don’t want to! I want to survive breathing when he’s breathing.

“Are you okay?” he asked with an irresistible voice. I don’t know how not to turn around and kiss him and tell him I don’t care to be his human blood bank?

But this time, I have to suppress my feelings for him.

I have Mike, and for as long as he will stay away from me, I will survive the withdrawal and get clean from the power he has over me.

“I’m fine, please make sure the girls get enough water when they gain conscious again, and Dylan?” he looked at me with pain in his eyes.

“If you really care, get this girl far away from here.” I climbed into my car and drove off while staring in the rear mirror how I leave the man who makes me feel alive even though I’m only surviving from his breathing air into my mouth, but that is the right thing to do. The responsible thing to do. It doesn’t matter how high I’m on Dylan, I have Maggie and Mike.

Mike loves me with his entire soul and his body. I just have to find a way back to him and the passion we shared before I met Dylan.

I have to find my way in the human world again, the world I promised to heal. I have to find my anchor above the water and held on to it before I get sucked to the bottom again.
