Chapter:-5

They made it back to the house within an hour, Kelly stopped every 10 minutes to check the omega’s pulse. Sebestian had never seen her looking so worried before, he was sure that the wolf was closer to death than she was saying aloud.

They entered through the back patio and through the double doors to the living room and carefully put the cage down by the fireplace.

“I’ll make a fire, see if we can’t make it any warmer for him,” Sebestian suggested. He wanted to do anything he could at this point to try and feel useful, and he didn’t have a clue on how to help Kelly with his medical needs.

“That’s perfect Sebestian, thank you,” she stated calmly. “Seth, can you go get the other medical bag from the office. It has more supplies in it that I need.”

“Of course, I’ll be right back," Seth announced as he was already halfway out the door heading towards their apartment across the street.

Sebestian stacked the logs as high as they could go in the fire, he couldn’t help himself but glance over to see what Kelly was doing to try and help treat the poor wolf’s injuries.

She was shaving off the fur around the more serious wounds and cleaning them as best she could. The wolf whimpered softly as she touched the more aggravated areas.

“Well, it looks like the IV fluid is helping, he is at least responding to pain at the moment,” Kelly shrugged.

“What do you think happened to him?” Rose asked from her spot on the couch. Many of the wolves had stayed behind to see if he was going to make it through, they were all camped out on various spots in the living room.

Sebestian had instructed Pink to settle Rufus into one of the guest rooms and get him clothes and shower and to watch over him closely. Sebestian was still very unsure of the beta wolf he had allowed to live.

Sebestian wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that ignorance was the reason for everything he was saying back at the feral camp, but it didn’t mean that he had to trust him yet.

“There are puncture wounds throughout his whole coat, looks as if it was made by some kind of prod or sharp stick… it um…” Kelly tried as best she could to explain.

“I dare to say that the object was potentially pushed through the holes of the cage and inflicted while the omega was trapped in its confines.”

“Oh my god, that’s so awful, I wish I didn’t ask,” Rose said with tears in her eyes.

“And on top of that he was definitely starved, his coat is dry and falling out all over the place, his gums are white and I can feel every bone through his skin… I… I just wish…” Kelly mumbled as she started to cry.

Sebestian stood immediately and walked over to his dear friend and embraced her in a hug. “You are doing everything that you can for him, he is in a better place now and he is lucky to have you watching out for him.”

“Thank you, alpha. I just…I wish we would have intervened sooner. I know there was no way to know that this was happening to someone but I just wish we could have done more,” she explained through her sniffles.

Seth came back in with the bag a few minutes later. Kelly frantically drew up multiple vials of medicine and began injecting them one by one into the wolf.

“What is all that?” Sam asked.

“Blood pressure stabilizers, antibiotics, vitamins, pain medicine… it’s going to take a while to stabilize him but he’s strong, I can already tell that he is fighting to survive.”

Sebestian let out a deep breath at that news. He wasn’t sure why but he was really hoping that the omega would recover. Sebestian wanted to show him what a pack could really be like, he felt the wolf deserved a family as good as his.
