“Okay, Azura, he’s so -”
“Don’t. I bet his big ears are listening in,” Azura mutters.
I am outside the hospital room whilst they talk inside quietly, but yeah, I can still hear and see them with the door slightly ajar. Azura is sitting next to her friend with her arms around her. We had gotten back pretty fast. I had Azura with me, and I knew instantly why she had felt that pain. In the fight, I had overexerted myself, and she had felt it… luckily, she had regained consciousness pretty quickly before we even got back to the pack grounds. Since then, she has been watching me intently, almost calculatingly… I have to fucking make sure that doesn’t happen again, for her sake…
But then what about overall? The bottom line is I’m fucking dying, and that pain will only increase as the days and weeks pass by.
The doctor has checked her over, and she is fine. As for her friend, she has been tended to and is in good care, althoughshe’ll be hospitalised for a few days. My injections aren’t really ideal to use on a human… however, I recommended they give her a very diluted dose to see if it helps. If it doesn’t help, it doesn’t, but just trying the small amount holds no harm.
“So, what are you going to do now?” Jax asks, hands in his pocket as he stands across from me.
“Regarding?” I ask, walking away from the hospital room and down the corridor.
“Regarding our Luna and her friend?”
“Song Daquin is welcome to stay until she’s healed,” I reply shortly.
“And the Luna?”
“Stop calling her that,” I mutter.
“Until she joins the pack?” Jax persists. Why the fuck is he so pushy?
He is the only one I will be seen around the pack with. Not everyone knows how close I am to the six, and I prefer it that way. We’ll occasionally go for drinks on a night out, but lately, everything has just felt so fucking busy.
I don’t fucking know,I reply, ignoring the two nurses who are giggling and staring at us. Why are most women so fucking annoying?
Can I say for once Schurke Wolf doesn’t have the answer?Jax’s reply comes as we step out into the dark. I take out a cigarette and light it, not replying to him and instead taking a long drag.
Did you place the body where I asked?I ask the others through the link.
Yeah, treat it as if he’s alive,Ace’s voice answers.
I’m not going to take risks,I reply, frowning deeply. The link is open so all seven of us can converse.
What are you worried about?Jin asks quietly. I frown, my mind wandering back to the drive home as I stared at the starsin the sky…
I slowed down, feeling as if I was missing something as I turned a sharp corner. I didn’t feel at ease, and it wasn’t Azura…
Shane, Li Sheng, change of plan. Do not bring the body inside of the pack… keep him in the underground cells at location twelve.
Roger,Shane said instantly.
Understood…Li Sheng’s reply followed.
Why?Jin asked.
Just do it. I don’t want that… thing inside this pack. He isn’t a werewolf; I know that much. Besides, those bullets were made to kill werewolves instantly… he survived after multiple shots. I know he’s dead, but… just keep him the fuck locked up until I run his prints and do some tests. Then we’ll dispose of the body.
Seeing the way he moved, even after I shot him point blank with a bullet that should have killed him, didn’t go unnoticed. He was still able to move… so what’s the guarantee that the other bullets worked?
I looked over at Azura, who was asleep, her chest rising and falling, and ran my knuckles down her jaw.I’m not going to take any chances…
It was too easy… I’ve seen Azura fight Emmet. She’s good, yet she didn’t stand a chance against Judah. So how did he go down so easily?
Because Schurke Wolf beat his ass?Ace offers.
Isn’t Sera wanting you home?I counter.
