Abused Love (AL Series)

Chapter 17

Trent

“Alpha she is still in surgery. I’m sorry but you can’t enter.” A nurse tells me yet again.

“She has been in there for hours!” I growl at her.

“I know but if you go in she will not make it. She is in open surgery and has already lost a lot of blood. Please wait. Our Luna will be okay. She has to be.” She said the last part so quietly that I almost missed it.

“She better be or all of you will regret it!” I snap at her and she starts shaking in fear. I know my wolf’s eyes are showing. It’s not a mix of our eyes, it’s his eye. He wants them to know he means what’s being said.

“Yo, bro. Come on let them work. Go for a run or something and we will come to get you when there is news. Okay? I’ll even take care of everything with the pack. Don’t worry. We are here for you.” My brother, Keith, said while he tilts his head to our youngest brother, Mike. Keith is also my second in command.

“No.” My wolf said for me and I agreed with him. 

  After another two damn hours, the whole staff that is working on Inara comes out pushing her on a stretcher with them. I run up to her and grab her hand. I feel the sparks and warmth from her hand in mine and I let out a sigh as I let it calm me. 

“Alpha, we need to get her in her room. Come and once we get in there I will explain everything.” The main doctor said leaving no room to argue. 

   Once in the room, Inara is all hooked up and everything to monitor her is set and good, everyone but the main doctor leaves the room. He sighs and goes to get me a chair to sit in while I stay next to Inara and then goes to sit down next. He looks at me and I can see he is overly tired at the moment but he needs to tell me everything that happened and what’s wrong with my mate.

“Before I get into everything I need to say that you need to stay calm and listen to everything I say. Our Luna, your mate needs you by her side relaxed, not going crazy. Okay, Alpha?” Damn, he is using his, I’m dead f*****g serious, voice on me so I nod my head knowing he is right.

"She seems to have been beaten for a very long time. This is not new to her, maybe not to this extreme but to some form." A growl starts to roll out and the doctor gives me a very pointed look that is a clear way to tell me to shut the hell up, so I unhappily do. 

"Now as I was saying, she is also very skinny. That was one of the problems we were having. She's undernourished and her body has suffered because of it. I saw the signs when I was working on her and I'm glad she came in now and not later. However, because of that, her recovery will be harder. It will take her longer to heal, it will be very easy for her to get sick, and it could cause complications with the surgery that just happened." He stops to take a breath and puts his head in his hands and leans forward on his knees. 

"Alpha, she didn't just have those things and all the lashings from a whip but also internal bleeding. Something happened before or after she was whipped and it caused bleeding around her lungs, we did an emergency Thoracotomy to stop the bleeding. She has blunt trauma all over her, also." He stops again and looks up right into my eyes. 

"I'm not sure how she is alive but she is and I'm glad she came here, to a wolf hospital and not to a regular human hospital, or she would have died on the operation table. The speed on a werewolf saved her, thankfully."

  It's hard to hear all this and once the doctor stops speaking I look away from him and at my mate. How in the world could I have missed all that? I saw her with her shirt off for f***s sake! 

"What do we do now?" I ask the doctor while I keep looking at our broken queen. 

"Can you bring any family members so we can give their blood to her?" He asks and I shake my head no. 

"She never told me about her family so I wouldn't know where to start looking for them." I reply to him feeling useless and like I know nothing about my mate and I feel like I should. 

"In that case Alpha, we will need your blood. You are an alpha and her mate, your blood should be safe, and maybe if we are lucky it will help her heal faster. I'm worried about her being on her back with all the lashings back there but she, unfortunately, was cut open to stop the internal bleeding so she can not be placed on her stomach." I look up at the doctor. 

"When will she wake up?" My voice is small and I know I sound pathetic but at this point, I don't care. I just want her to be healed and happy and to start something I never thought I wanted to have, a mate to love and have a family with. 

"I'm sorry Alpha, I can't answer that." The doctor answers me back.

Inara

  It was dark and I don’t know where I was or if I was dead or alive. The last thing I do remember is that I was calling Bryan to help me. I remember I could hear his voice over the phone screaming my name but I had no strength left to answer him back and then everything went black. I don’t know how long I have been in this metal house that my father had brought me to when something started to make its way through the darkness. I could hear something far away but I could not pinpoint what it was. What in the world was it? Are my parents back to hit me again? I don’t think I can do all this again if it’s them. Bryan please hurry up and save me, I need you. Just this one time and then I promise I will leave and never see you again once I get my sisters and myself safe if that is what you want but please hurry.

  Time passed by and I’m not sure how long it has been since I first heard something, but then I heard someone coming down the stairs and fast. Oh no, it has to be my parents. They are the only ones that know where I am. I’m going to die here, I know I am. It was then that I heard a loud and dangerous growl close to me but why would there be growling, I must be losing it from all the blood I lost!

  I have been laying down on the cold floor for so long that my body has gotten used to it, but when I felt warmth under my head it felt so good that I just wanted to give into it. I know I’ve felt this feeling before but at the moment I couldn’t figure out where. I heard voices. It sounded like there is a conversion going on but everything is too soft for me to hear it but I swear for a moment it was Bryan’s voice that I heard, but how would he be able to find me?

  I suddenly felt more hands on me and sharp pain everywhere. I want to get away but all I can do is let out a small hiss.

 I heard more voices that I have not heard before and then there was more growling. I tried to get the strength to move or talk or something but nothing was working as I wanted it to. I felt pain and then It felt like I was floating in mid-air and then everything around me was gone and only blackness replaced everything.
