The One He Claimed by Cooper

Chapter 91: New Idea Brooklyn

I saw Luna Sophie and Beta Kinsley follow Dr. Caspian, or Cas as he's asked me to call him, into a room. I'm guessing they're doing what everyone else here is doing, protecting me. It makes me feel special to know that the pack cares so much about me, and it makes me want to try harder to be better for them.

After losing one of the mates who is in the pack hospital struggling to survive after the death of their mate in the battle, I decided to try something different. I don't know if my mother can hear me, but she hasn't given up the fight yet and I have to believe it's because I'm there talking to her every day. So, I called over to the main house and asked if they could bring the pups of the mothers lying in our hospital.

II hadn't thought it through completely and when the first group arrived, we had two crying, inconsolable pups. For them, there had been a war, and they hadn't seen their parents again. The people they are staying with may be friends or family, but they aren't the parents that they trust to keep them safe.

The first two were a young boy and girl, around six and four. I picked up the little girl and took the boy's hand, telling them that their mother was sleeping, and they'd need to be careful but that I thought it might help for her to hear their voices.

When we walked in, I put the little girl on the bed and she immediately snuggled up against her mother, sobbing in relief.

She didn't seem to care that her mother was unconscious, her scent and proximity had calmed the little girl who had fallen asleep almost instantly.

I'd put the boy on the other side of his mother. He had tried to remain stoic, but he lost the battle, and ended up curling against her other side, telling her that he was trying to be brave but that it was hard without her or their father. I let them stay, carefully wrapping their mother's arms around them to help them feel safe and when they had both fallen asleep, I'd gone out to find their mother's friend, Leann, who is watching over the pups.

"They're sleeping," I say, wiping my eyes.

"Thank the goddess. They haven't slept in days. They're exhausted and are refusing to eat. Maybe now they'll eat."

"You're welcome to stay with them. Just let one of us know or find me when you're ready to leave. I'll help you get them disentangled from their mother."

"Thank you. I don't know if it will help her, but it's already helping them," Leann says, looking into the room and seeing the two sleeping children tucked against their mother.

"It's worth a try," I say and start to walk away, but Leann takes my hand.

"I hope it works for your mother as well, Brooklyn."

"Thanks, Leann. I do too."

I am just about to go see if more pups have arrived, when Luna Sophie and Beta Kinsley find me.

"Brooklyn, we'd like to speak with you. Do you have a minute?"

"Of course, Luna, Beta. Right this way," I say, leading them to an empty room. The hospital is clearing out fast now that the wolves are getting stronger and healing their humans. "How are you, Brooklyn?" Luna Sophie asks as soon as we sit down.

"I'm doing okay, all things considered," I say to them.

"How's your mother?" Beta Kinsley asks.

"About the same. I talk to her every night, telling her about my day. I hope it works, we'll see. Cas, Dr. Caspian, says it can take up to a week for omegas to regain consciousness." I watch my Luna and Beta glance at each other. They caught my slip up.
