I took a few steps before I stumbled, he growled.

‘Shift. I’ll carry you.’ He said.

‘I don’t have clothes.’ I whined. I preferred Greg, he was nicer. Harry was a meanie!

I could sense a few other wolves around and then heard Serena’s voice.

"You’re in pain Kiara. Here, change into this," She pushed something against my mouth and I caught it before I stumbled, unsure where to change. "All of you turn around." She commanded. I loved the Beta female, she was cool.

Her commanding voice was clear and I was happy when she told me I was ok to change. I shifted, wincing at the pain that was spasming up my ankle to my knee. She helped me put the oversized shirt on.

"Right. She’s dressed." She said.

I felt her shift and the sound of bones breaking, then Harry’s annoying muzzle prodding my back.

‘Get on.’

I made a face and got onto his back. The man was annoying! But in all fairness, I was glad, I could barely walk.

‘The Alpha got angry. Is that why you left? Greg and I saw several warriors go to restrain him; he was going to kill his nephew from what we heard.’

My blood ran cold.

‘Oh no! Is Rayhan ok?!’

‘He was taken to the hospital. He was impressive and actually attacked back, got a few hits in too, but the Lycan king is a beast.’ Harry said. ‘I’m not happy with you staying there…’

‘He won’t attack me.’ I said through the link with such conviction that I wondered why I was so sure. He had hurt me emotionally… What's to stop him from hurting me physically too? ‘Take me to the hospital.’

I sensed his disapproval through the link.

‘I'm not sure that’s a good idea.’

‘That’s an order.’ My command resonated strongly and he didn’t reply.

If the situation wasn’t so dire, I’d have smiled at how quickly he submitted. After all, I was the daughter of two Alphas.

-----

Blood, wounds and broken bones.

Rayhan had it all. Three doctors were rushing around tending to him as I stared through the glass. We had reached the hospital quick enough and I was shocked at the state he was in.

"He’s bleeding too quickly!"

"Blood pressure is to low."

"His heart rate is dropping!"

I simply stood outside the door, knowing he was in this condition because of me. I had to help. I could see Doctor Callum rushing around. Would he let me help? The urge to go to Rayhan was growing, without even bothering with Serena and Harry, I pushed the door open and stepped inside.

"Kiara! You can’t go in!" Serena called, alarmed.

Doctor Callum looked at me and motioned for Serena to leave. I didn’t speak to him and made my way over to the bed. I placed my hand on Rayhan’s bleeding chest, looking at three large gashes that ran across it from his shoulder to his waist. How could Alejandro have done this?

I saw him flinch when my hand touched the open gashes. Yeah, I knew this was not hygienic or smart but there was something deep inside me urging me along. I wanted him to get better. Blood coated my hands like water and I didn’t even notice that the doctors had stopped working and moving.

"Kia uh…" Rayhan groaned. His eyes fluttered open slightly. "What are you…?"
