Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 41: Worth the Pain

Astrid's POV

I pressed my lips tightly, suppressing the pain that radiated from my wounds as the Pack Doctor applied ointment to my deep scratches.

"Be careful; do not press too much on the wound," Alpha Everest commanded the Pack Doctor when he saw my pained expression.

The Pack Doctor pauses, then starts to dab ointment on my wound more carefully this time.

Alpha Everest never left my side. He called the Pack Doctor and had me stay in his office to receive medical treatment.

"It's okay," I uttered, knowing that pain is inevitable and the Doctor has to thoroughly cleanse my wounds to avoid infection. "I have high pain tolerance."

As a Pack warrior, I've had worse injuries. As werewolves who use our canines and sharp claws to fight, deep scratches like this are expected. It cannot be avoided in a fight.

I didn't even know I was hurt until Lucinda pointed at the blood seeping through my clothes.

"I think we need to stitch it," the Pack Doctor suggests after cleansing my wound and applying ointment.

I stared at my wound. Usually, my wound shouldn't look as raw and red as it is now; my wolf should have kicked in already and healed my injury.

The fact that my wounds would need stitches to heal just goes to show how weaker I had become. It's like my wolf is not even there to heal me.
