Chapter 106: Tending the Wounded

Serena kept checking the vitals on the patients in the field hospital. She’d done several rounds already, and there were still com stragglers being brought in off the main battlefield.

“Untie his wrists,” Serena said, going over to one of the Moonshine captives. “Alpha Logan said all Moonshine members are to be restrained and detained until we can determine who is loyal to Damon,” she was told by the warriors that had brought her newest patient in.

“I don’t care,” Serena said. “He is wounded and needs to recover. That goes for all the Moonshine wolves. Right now, health and recovery is the priority, not loyalty.” “Yes, of course,” the warriors said, nodding and running off again. Serena checked the new patient over. He wasn’t badly injured, a few deep gashes that needed sutures. “Can I get a suture kit, blood transfusion bag, and saline drip?” she asked, snapping to the nurses nearby. They immediately jumped into action. Serena washed her hands and found a mask and gloves. She cleaned the gashes with antibacterial wipes and an antiseptic. She also made sure to clean around the cuts. This wolf had been fighting outside and was smeared with dirt and mud.

When the nurses came in with the equipment she requested, they got to work with the saline drip and the blood transfusion. Serena took the sutures and started stitching him up. “Why do you care so much about the Moonshine wolves?” a nurse asked her. Serena Jooked up from her work, raising an eyebrow. “I am a doctor, a healer,” Serena said. “I don’t discriminate against who I take care of. You shouldn’t either.”

Starseeker wolves should take priority,” the nurse told her. Serena finished stitching up the larger cuts. She pulled her gloves off and found some bandages. “Werewolves are werewolves, regardless of what pack they came from,” Serena said. “I wouldn’t deny another wolf medical treatment, regardless of their status outside this hospital.” The nurse sighed but got back to work. “Finish bandaging his wounds,” she instructed. “I don’t

There were a couple others recovering from surgery. Serena had tried to move everyone that had an operation or a serious, life-threatening injury back to the actual hospital for a proper recovery. The wolf that was unconscious wasn’t stable enough to move in a truck yet. Fortunately, there were only a few others that were too unstable to move. Serena checked on them next, making sure they weren’t getting any infections. It was a double-edged situation. The ones who were too badly injured to move were also the ones that should have been in the real hospital. All the wolves in the most intensive situations were all from Moonshine. Serena knew that Adriana would keep the nurses and doctors in the hospital in line when treating the patients. Serena updated notes on her clipboard and did another set of rounds. She went to see how Santino was doing with his broken leg. Her father and Logan were still holding a trial for Damon and Moonshine. Serena would have preferred Damon to be in the hospital with her so she could keep an eye on him. She had made Logan promise her Damon

As she wrapped his leg, she probed it too, making sure that the bones were setting right and that they were healed enough to walk on. “That should do it,” she said. “You can walk without crutches, but maybe you should have a cane or something
