The Alpha Who Loved Her

Chapter 7

***Will***

Before I left the cottage I made Bell and Becca breakfast just as I always have. I set Bell up with cartoons and told her I’d be back later. I had to get things in order at the hospital after being MIA for nearly 2 days. Becca would understand me not being there.

I get to the hospital and my assistant greets me. “Good morning doctor. You look..well” as she looks me up and down with a grin. “I am” as I smile in response. “Our new group of residents will arrive today, I will get them assigned 2 to each unit under doctors Jameson and Smith. I went ahead and ordered your lunch, you are on call for surg..” I cut her off. “ I will only be here long enough to reassign and update physician schedules and review those 2 cases Jones sent me. I will be in for 4 hours a day the rest of this week and taking all weekends off from no exceptions.” Gina looked at me surprise written all over her face. “ Yes sir” her only reply. She knew how far to push me.

Although our hospital was small it was well known. It was one of the top 5 werewolf hospitals in the world. When Bo took over as Alpha he wanted to build a pack where all felt welcome. With more werewolves we were able to become more sustainable and self sufficient having an elite group of warriors, a herb garden like no other (inspired by Becca). We don’t use any human medications, we concoct our own thanks to Sarah and her coven who specialize in healing. We have state of the art electronics and are energy independent. Our hospital is state of the art and physicians come from all over to learn our techniques and new procedures. Bo figured that if we learned to take care of our basic needs and the needs of those who stumbled upon our pack the moon goddess would always provide for us, and she has. I continue the walk to my office with Gina giving her detained instructions on the physicians schedules and rotations. I then pull the two cases through our computer system reviewing them closely I call Dr Jones and ask her to join me for their assessments. We go into the first room the man cries in pain whenever he moves or is touched. His muscles in constant tremors. Dr Jones then says, “we couldn’t find any injury only thing off is kidney function. We sedated him so he wouldn’t be in pain.” “Looks like rhabdomyolysis but his wolf should have been able to heal after 3 days. Since you sedated him, his wolf was sedated as well and couldn’t do his job, let’s reverse sedation slowly pump him with fluids but watch his cardiac and hepatic enzymes to make sure we’re not overloading him. “The second case is a young pup maybe 3. We found him at the border two days ago. He is not talking and refuses to eat or drink.” I mind-linked Bo and asked him to bring Millie to the hospital. Briefly explaining the case. “Get me 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Cheetos, juice boxes, and some ice cream from the cafe bring it in a paper bag.

Bo arrived with Millie 10 minutes later. “Hey uncle Will, daddy said you need my help”. Millie was a curious little girl who rarely stops talking and loves smaller children. She was only 3 years older then him. “Hey Millie see the little boy in there he hasn’t eaten in a few days but he will not take food from grown up. I think he’s scared. I had Gina pack a lunch for the two of you why don’t you put on daddy’s spy glasses and go have lunch with him”. I ask her. She looks at me then at her dad and says, “ok but I’m going to need some ice cream” I turn to her and raise my eyebrows, “already in the bag”. Millie takes her dads glasses and puts them on her face, takes the bag and walks into our new friends room, “hi my names Millie want to share some ice cream?”

I observed closely as Millie interacted with the little pup. She played with him and he ate half his sandwich, all his ice cream and drank half his juice box. I was able to observe him through the camera on the glasses Millie is wearing. About 30 minutes into the conversation Millie reaches over and takes his hand in her own closes her eyes and focuses. Bo and I watch, captivated by little Millie. She turns and looks at me and her dad frightened eyes wide and tears rolling down our cheeks. “ daddy, the rogues killed Billy‘s parents!” Billy and I looked at her in amazement and then at church each other. “Bo, did you know she is telepathic?” I could see by Bo’s expression he was having a conversation. A moment later Sarah appeared at the door. She calmly walked towards Millie and Billy. “Hello Billy, my name is Sarah I’m the Luna of this pack and a Millie‘s mom. Can you show me what happened the same way you showed Millie?” He gently put his hand in Sarah’s at first Sara kept a straight face, then she forced to smile, I can tell she was showing Bo everything over mind link.” Sara then looked at the little boy and asked him, “would you like to live with me and alpha Bo and our children? We will make sure you never have to be alone again.” Billy surprised just with what happened next, ”Can I stay with Millie?” Sarah winks at him, “how about we have a slumber party. We can watch movies and eat popcorn..”Billy excitedly asks “and ice cream”. Sarah nods her head an agreement. I discharge him and refer him for counseling and play therapy. I can keep an eye on him in the meantime.

I wash my water bottle and leave it open to dry. I place my coffee cup next to my kurig. I grab my bag to head to Becca’s. I’ll stop at my apartment to get some essentials on the way.

I get to Becca’s and see Bell outside playing with her cousins. Sarah sitting with Billy in her lap. It looks like he’s been bathed and is exhausted. I suddenly see Sarah shift in her chair Bo jumped from his chair and ran to the beach I was right behind him I could see the cottage disappear under Becca’s barrier. Bo and I shift into our wolves ready to protect what was ours. We split up and almost immediately hear Bo in my head “come quick, I need backup.”
