64 The turn …

Ramsey

Two years later .

The Pack Hospital’s light shone brightly on me where I sat motionless in the reception area , my legs spread out in front of me , staring blankly at the floor .

My clothes were stained with blood , and dark red streaks that had long since dried but still smelled fresh in the air around me .

My fingers wrapped tightly around a necklace which I clutched like a lifeline its pendant warming against my palm , a stark difference to the cold that had settled in my chest .

Around me , Pack Doctors and Nurses including Healers rushed in and out of the operating rooms , their faces tensed with fear … I couldn’t blame them , they had two lives to save .

Two operations were happening at the same time .

Two lives hanging by a thread .

Alpha Logan , Alpha of the Blue Ridge Pack was in one of the rooms fighting for his life .

And in the other room , my grandfather , Elder Eldric , was the only family I had left .

When I held him in my arms after the attack , I thought he was dead .

He’d been motionless , with blood gushing out from one side of his throat .

I grew up with my grandfather , we didn’t agree on a lot of things but I love him .

He was the man who shaped me into whom I am today .

He had swallowed his pain and fought hard after losing his mate , so I wouldn’t be alone anymore .

He was the same man who pushed me out of the way , hours ago , and had taken the Feral’s bite it should be me on that operating table and not him .

We were on our way back from the Annual Moon Goddess Worshipping Ceremony at Golden Moon Pack and were just outside the borders of the White Moon Mountain region when a dozen Feral Wolves suddenly sprung out from the forest and attacked .

They had easily overpowered the hundred warriors that had gone with us , and injured three Alphas renowned for their fighting skills , including Alpha Logan who was a top – skilled Alpha

Warrior .

I had watched as the warriors dropped dead , how six elders , have been killed with such swiftness that I didn’t see .

I had almost died , too , if my grandfather had not pushed me out of the way and taken the bite for me .

Alpha Logan had jumped in to save him from the Ferals and had equally been defeated .

The Ferals , after that , didn’t attack me … they all regrouped , and stared at me for a few minutes before they headed back to the bushes from where they had emerged .

I glanced up briefly , my gaze drifting to Alpha Logan’s wife , Luna Vanessa and her daughter , Clarissa .

They sat huddled at one corner of the reception , their eyes red and swollen , tears streaming silently down their faces .

The loss of a mate was not the worst thing that can happen to anyone – it is being helpless .

Sitting there not knowing what to do hour to help and if your mate would ever make it back

I watched as they clutched each other as if they were the only thing keeping each other from shattering completely .

My heart clenched at the sight – I had failed them .

I had failed to protect the people who served me .
