Lilah put the treatment in. Ryan take her to the pup across the hall while I do this. Hermit said she was paralyzed.
I snorted. Don’t know that I believe that.
I looked at her. I don’t. She nodded and left. I like her a lot.
Me too Dad. I feel weirdly connected to her. Almost like……I shook my head. No that’s impossible. She doesn’t have a wolf.
It’s not impossible son. Give her time to adjust. Then I’ll invite Lucinda by and we’ll see if we can’t awaken her wolf.
Very well.
I stepped in and I saw a broken defeated kid.
Please help me I whimpered.
I sat carefully. My name is Lilah. What’s your name?
Nnnnadia I whimpered.
Thats beautiful. Can I take a look at you?
As the Beta I saw their hesitance and intervened. The Alpha brought her as our new pack doctor. Look she fixed my black shoulder.
They said iiiiit couldn’t be fixed.
I glanced at her. They lied. Max is getting treatment and he’ll go home Wednesday. He was not a good doctor. So Lemme look and see if he missed something.
I’m Christine. Nadia’s mom. Please look.
Ok Nadia this won’t hurt. I’m just taking some pictures. I looked and gasped. Sweetheart can you feel your legs? She shook her head. You have an infection. All we need to do is give you an antidote and a massage and I think we can get you legs moving again.
Rrrreally?
Really. I will have to give you a shot to get rid of it. Can you be super brave for me?
Iiif you can fix me I can be brave.
Great. I made the antidote and did the shot song and injected it.
Tttthat didn’t hurt.
I smiled. Good. It’s not supposed to. How old are you?
Im 5.
A whole hand?! Whoa! That’s old. She laughed.
A little. They feel weird.
Tingly? She nodded. Good. This might not feel super great but I need you to try for me ok? She nodded. Good. I’m gonna massage your legs ok? She nodded. Good. I slowly started waking her muscles up. Good now try and bend your knees for me.
Iiii can’t I sobbed.
Look at me. I wiped her tears. The bad man that put you here lied. You can. Think about it. Picture it in your head and bend your knees. You can do it. She tried and it worked.
Iiiii can move!
You can. I knew you could do it!
I hugged her sobbing. Thank you.
I smiled. you’re very welcome. Here. I’ll help you. Stand up. We slowly got her on her feet. There ya go. I’m gonna say let’s stay here 3 more days. I’ll come do physical therapy with you a lot of times every day and then you can go home.
