The Tribrid's Revenge

Chapter 6 Jackson

Jackson

I knew when Damien and I got onto Blackforest territory that my mate was here, but not my werewolf mate, the mate for my dragon half. I was extremely nervous and terrified. I was nervous from having to risk explaining I’m a hybrid and I was terrified because if she told anyone what I am I would be hunted down and killed. There is no safe place anywhere for hybrids, every species believes hybrids are against nature. When I walked into the pack house my dragon wanted to go searching for his better half but I didn’t want to come off as a mad man so I went to bed instead. Nothing, and I mean nothing could prepare me for what we found out and what we witnessed.

“How is it going to work with us both having the same mate man?” I ask Damien as I cradle my mate’s small fragile hand in my very large one.

“We are going to love her and cherish her like any other mate would, it’s just going to be more complicated. Everyone already assumes we are secretly gay with how close we are.” He chuckled. “I understand now why we have always had such a strong, unbreakable bond. But how are we going to explain to the pack that we have the same mate?” He asked with worry laced in his voice.

“The moon goddess is always doing crazy things, it’s rare but not unheard of that she has given a wolf two mates. They will just gossip about how we will have s*x. Do you think the pack will accept her?” This was my biggest concern. From all the abuse she has taken for ten years, it’s a miracle that she is even still alive. 

“They will love her, but we will have to get everyone together and give them some insight and all the abuse she has undergone so they will understand her strange behavior.” He spoke with love in his eyes looking down at her. “You know how our pack is, and even if they don’t they have both of us to go through.” His tone is very serious.

“I don’t think she knows she’s more than a werewolf, when you were talking about the mark on the back of her neck, she had a confused look on her face. We are going to have to swear Dr. Hillman to secrecy about what he finds in her blood. I will die before I let her be hunted down.” Damien wasn’t hiding the small trace of fear he had, and I felt it too.

“We both will. I have a feeling things are going to start to change in a big way.” I was telling him when I started to get a tingle in the back of my head followed behind with a burning sensation in my throat. “Martel wants to come out and meet his mate.” I told him as I shook my head a little bit. 

“So how exactly is it going to work with her shifting? Will she even be able to survive shifting into her wolf with how thin and beaten she is?” He half growled letting me know his wolf is just under the surface.

“She’s fought this long, I think she will survive it. And besides no normal wolf can undergo the abuse she did and survive this long, but her dragon side kept her alive. Having her mate, well mates, by her side is going to make her shift even sooner, so we have 3 days tops to get her well enough to do it. When she shifts into her wolf you are going to have to walk her through it. I have a feeling she wasn’t taught much about shifting. Like me, almost immediately after shifting into her wolf, her dragon will come out and she won’t have the chance to switch back into a human. With how weak she is, she will most likely shift right back into a human from exhaustion.” I told him through gritted teeth.

“They will pay for what they did to her.” He spoke it in a way as a promise to her.

I looked down at Rose and my heart ached and anger flowed through my whole body. You can see all her bones from being starved and her hair is matted. What angers me the most is the amount of swelling and bruising on her face, without a doubt she has multiple broken bones in her face. She is very strong willed because one of the powers dragons have is the ability to feel someone’s physical pain and I can feel all of hers, it’s enough to bring me to my knees. But I know as long as I’m taking her pain away,she is comfortable. I watched Damien pull out his phone and dial a number.

“We will be there in ten minutes, meet us in the grand suite of the pack hospital and tell no one. I will explain everything once we arrive.” Using his alpha voice. I drove as fast as I could. I mind-linked the guards at the gate to have them opened and ready once we arrived and they did. I raced to the pack house and threw the truck into gear and ran out to open the passenger door so Damien could get Rose out without causing her more pain. She started to groan as we raced up the steps and into the house. 

It was late so there was no one roaming the halls of the pack house so we had a clear path to the pack hospital. As soon as we got through the doors to the pack hospital Dr. Hillman was waiting by the door for the room reserved for the higher ranking wolves. Damien ran right in and gently laid Rose down on the bed. 

“Alpha who is this? And what happened?” Dr. Hillman asked as he started hooking her up to machines and started an IV. 

“She’s our mate and she has been a slave, starved, and abused for ten years. She just turned 18. She was beaten badly before we left by a psychotic, jealous she-wolf.” I blurted out as Damien looked like it was taking everything in him to not lose control of his wolf.

“I’m going to give her a heavy dose of morphine to keep her in a medically induced coma so I can access her and treat her without causing her more pain. Will you boys get her into a gown while I go get the morphine please?” He asked while walking out of the room.

I grabbed a clean goan from the table by the bed and threw it over my shoulder and gently lifted her as Damien carefully removed her excuse for clothing off her. Her whole body was covered in cuts, bruises, and scars. Damien very shakily took the gown from my shoulder and carefully slipped it onto her small, fragile frame. I finished laying her down just as Dr. Hillman walked in with more medical supplies and syringes that already had what I assumed to be morphine in it. 

“This one will help with the pain, and the other one will keep her from panicking. I figured it would help as I’m sure she will wake in a panic. I need to access her whole body and get some images, if you guys can go wait over in the corner, as I know you won’t leave the room, I need space to work please.” He respectfully asked. We moved out of his way and let him do his job. Seeing all the marks on her body had me clenching my fist and jaw. I was having an internal battle between my wolf and dragon from coming out and ripping those people to shreds. After an hour Dr. Hillman nodded to us to come back to the bed.

“She is much stronger than she appears to be. She should be healed in a day or two. She has been severely starved so it will take time to get her to eat proper meals, so make sure she snacks throughout the day, even if she doesn’t want too. I’d like to keep her here for at least the next 48 hours to keep a morphine drip going on her since she hasn’t shifted into either her wolf nor her dragon.” That made both Damien and I snap our heads towards him. How does he know? “ I’ve been a doctor for many years, I can see the bone structure for her wings. But there was a glowing aura around her bones on the scans so I would like to take some blood and run some tests to see what it could be.” He looked towards us for our permission. 

“Do what you have to do. Not a single word of this is to get out to anyone! As far as anyone is concerned she is a normal she-wolf.” Damien boomed in his alpha tone. 

“Yes alpha, I understand. I can bring in two cots for you guys if you’d like.” He stated. 

“No! We will stay in the chairs right by her bed but thank you!” I stated and with that he nodded his head and walked out. We each pulled a chair on each side of the bed and took her hand. The room was silent except from our breathing and the beeping of the monitors. 

“We should try to get some sleep so we aren’t drained when she wakes, we all are going to need our energy.” I told Damien and with that we laid our heads on her bed next to her arms and Damien drifted off. I laid there for another five minutes wondering how she’s going to react to everything until I finally drifted off.
