(Aurora’s pov)

When the packhouse came into view, all I could seem to focus on was the shocked and terrified gazes of the wolves roaming about a s they watched their strong leader, now succumbed to something they didn’t know what.

“He looks dead.” One whispered in terror, her gaze on her Alpha in pity.

“Don’t be foolish. He’s not dead, look at the rise and fall of his chest.” Another snapped lowly.

“If the other packs hear of this they’ll come for us. Our leader is down!” Another screeched.

“Quiet now! You don’t know if there is a traitor amongst us who will let our enemies know.” A pregnant she wolf mumbled, her eyes glazed over in panic.

“Merrill is right Stacy, be quiet. You never know who’s listening.” Another woman says.

I stare at them and all I can think about is that this was my fault. No one else’s but mine.

It made me feel hate. Hate for myself. I didn’t want to be this monster.

I never wanted to hurt him or anyone.

I never chose to be what I am.

And maybe I didn’t deserve to be by his side.

I looked away sadly when they began to murmur, their eyes on me. They weren’t accusing but it made me feel more guilty somehow.

“Get the pack doctor!” Lily roared when she was nearing the infirmary building. “Get Rodrick!”

The wolves who were just outside scurried inside the building, a second later one run out, looking breathless and panicked.” Rodrick isn’t here yet.” He winced as if expecting to get a tongue lashing from Lily but she only roars for another doctor.

She soon jumps down to her feet. Chris quickly shifted into his human form and scurried to Xavier’s side where he took him in his arms, struggling a little under his weight.

Seeing that, Beta Samuel also shifted and goes to help Chris. The two bring Xavier inside as quickly as they can with Lily rushing t o their side.
