Chapter 18

Yara

I race to the banister, watching as Warren gracefully shifts into Arric. If I wasn’t looking for it, wasn’t paying attention, I wouldn’t have seen him flinch. Dammit! I knew that leg wasn’t healed enough to shift

“I’ll have to start all over again,” I mumble as I grab a pair of shorts and put them on as I race down the stairs. I quickly pull my hair up into a ponytail, tying it in knot which will have to do for now.

“Luna, this way!” a pregnant she–wolf says to me.

“I’m not going to the safe room,” I say, turning as nearly everyone in the room stops to look at me.

1 turn, and look at them. “I’m a doctor! Your pack members will need me. GO! If you’re part of the medical team and you’re not pregnant and don’t have young pups, get your ass to the hospital. NOW!”

I watch as the pack jolts with my command, but I don’t have time to wonder about it. I race our of the front of the packhouse and down the cobblestone drive to the hospital

“Luna, there are only a couple of us who can assist. We’ve never been in the hospital during a battle before, Savannah, one of the nurses I worked with earlier says, running up beside me. Here, you’ll need this more than I will,” she says, pulling a hair tie out of her hair and handing it to me.

“Thank you, and what do you mean you’ve never been in the hospital during a battle?” I ask as we rush into the hospital, and quickly wrap my hair in the hair tie.

“Dr. Stevens said it wasn’t safe. That we were to report immediately after we were let out of the safe rooms.”

“Then who was helping these warriors?” I ask, stopping to stare at her incredulously.

“No one. They waited until we were let out to get help.”

“No one died waiting for treatment?” I ask.

She looks away. “Several died, Luna. Some probably could have been saved, but…it took us too long.”

“Okay, well, that stops now,” I say as two more nurses rush in, looking completely lost.

“Triage kits, crash kits, do you know what is needed, what to put together?” I ask and all three shake their heads.

1 begin moving again, walking to the storage room and beginning to pull things off the shelves.

“Triage, crash, triage,” I say as I hand off what I need.

“Luna, someone’s here,” one of the nurses says.

“What’s your name? I didn’t catch it earlier,” I say.

“Anna, Luna,” she says.

“And you?” I ask the other nurse.

“I’m Piper, Luna.”
