Page 58 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

He grunted and fell in step with me, looking at me for a moment as if he wanted to say something but then changed his mind. When we got back to the room I waited patiently as he looked at all of the jars, taking a sniff then looking at the note.

He finally screwed the last jar lid on and smiled slightly.

"I won’t lie, I'm impressed. Alpha Elijah has done a fine job in teaching you."

I frowned. I'm sorry, I love my Dad but he was not the one who taught me. If anything, it was mom's suggestion to ask Grandma Amelia.

"My teaching has nothing to do with Dad. It was my mother, Alpha Scarlett, who taught me to fight, cook and encouraged me to follow my interest in medical healing." I said, crossing my arms. "Why does everyone immediately compliment Dad?"

He chuckled. "Well, he is the Alpha-"

"Mom is also an Alpha. It isn't because Dad’s an Alpha, it's because he’s a man."

"Ok, I get it." He said, waving his hand. I frowned. No, he didn’t, but I’ll show them… "You even picked up on the wolfsbane."

"Yes, I was a little thrown off as it was such a low amount, the scent was barely distinguishable."

"Well, I needed to see what level you are at. The kings warriors need the very best care."

"That’s understandable." I said as we both left the room. "So, do we see Luca now?"

"Yes."

I smiled, looking forward to this. I still felt achy but it was gradually easing up. We reached his ward pretty soon.

"Luca, time to check your injuries."

The young man sat up, wincing slightly.

"Not going to lie, my leg feels a lot better than my other injuries." He grunted.

I moved forward quickly, raising his bed and propping cushions behind him. Doctor Callum didn’t reply and began to remove the bandage from his arm injury first and then the one from his leg. I stayed silent as I saw Callum’s eyes look at both wounds and then at the bandages. The one from his leg had a discolouration to the blood whilst the one from his arm was just blood.

"This is interesting…" He remarked.

"The herbs help pull any poison from the blood, hence the healing process is faster…" I explained.

"This is remarkable…" Doctor Callum said. "Where did you learn that?"

"My great uncles work." I said proudly.

"Thanks." Luca said, now looking at me.

I gave a small smile, glad it had worked.

"I guess I don’t need to doubt you. So, what would you like? Some small injuries or shall I throw you headfirst into those who need the most help?" He smiled, and for some reason, I felt like there was a lot more to that comment than he let on.

"I think I want to go headfirst. I am only here for a few weeks; I want to learn something new and gain some experience that I can't get back home." I said with determination.

"Perfect. Blood is not an issue for you?"

"No." I said, glancing at Luca.

He was covered in plenty of blood.

"Then follow me." He paused and looked at Luca. "I will get one of the other doctors to apply the herbs to the rest of your wounds and apply fresh bandages."

"Thanks Miss and Doc."
