Resisting You

Chapter 2

Kian and Kartik hurry into treatment bay 5 of Northern Territory Hospital's Emergency Department.

Nitara was lying back on the bed, left hand over her eyes, one leg still shaky.

"Ni" Kian softly calls her, placing his hand over her right one on the bed.

Nitara takes her other hand off and smiles at the twins.

"Hey.... it's okay. I am okay" she squeezes Kian's fingers.

" You don't need to downplay things for us Ni" Kartik places a hand on her shaky leg.

Nitara smiles with a sigh. She sometimes needed reminders that her brothers were grown men now. Being their parental figure for over 2 decades had ingrained some habits in her. She would always be protective of them.

She gets onto her elbows and Kian helps her by lifting the head end of the bed.

" One wolf - one wolf did all this" Kartik comments looking through glass wall on left side where Malek was receiving treatment.

Nitara turns her head as well

" That was the hardest mind breaking I have done - his mind was a mess"

"How so?" Kian asks

"I have mind broken ferals before - this was nothing like that. They have a singular thought - kill. This wolf was drowning in pain and fury" Nitara explains , her mind going back to what she saw "It was a miracle I didn't hurl and pass out right in the beginning or worse"

Kian's hand tightened in

"I am glad you are okay"

"Me too" Nitara smiles at him, swinging her legs off the bed

"Whoa - should you be doing that?" Kartik comes to stand on her other side.

"I am not going back to work and I will rest better at home" Nitara replies pulling on her jacket.

"Agreed on the work part - we are taking you home and keeping an eye on you" Kian puts his elbow out

"You think I can't escape your notice if I want to?" Nitara raises her brow.

"We will sleep in your room if we have to Ni - you need to rest" Kartik threatened.

Nitara sighs "Fine. Just let us drop by the prison hospital first - I need to see if the mind mediciner's there have learned anything"

"Do you have to do that now?" Kian insists.

"I will rest better lil bro" Nitara ruffles his hair.

"You do know we are taller than you now" Kartik slings his arm over her shoulder, making her wince.

"Mind your arm you ass" Kian scolds

Nitara grins and lands a punch on Kartik.

"See she was faking it" Kartik groans.

"Come on let's head to prison block" Nitara says.

20 minutes later, they reach the prison block situated on top of a hill towards the outskirts of Northern Territory.

Nitara and the twins head to the eastern part of the block housing the hospital. As they approached the mediciner offices situated towards the end of a long passage housing enclosed treatment bays , they hear snarling coming from one on their right.

Inside the block, is the grey rogue being held back by 4 thick silver coated tungsten chains wound around his paws with vicious looking claws. He was roaring and flailing as 4 mind mediciners and physical mediciners are together trying to subdue him.

His eyes lock with Nitara's and for a few minutes he stops snarling, intense gaze locked onto her. The gap gives the chance for physical mediciners to inject their sedative. He gives one last roar before passing out.

Outside the cell, Nitara let's out a soft gasp. For a second there, she had seen unadulterated agony in his eyes.
