Chapter 5

Emilia Abel - POV

I might be a healer, but I have always never been that good with blood, and looking at this man’s wounds, I felt the bile rise up my throat. “We need to save him before he dies in here, Amy,” Silver yelled at me when I nodded my head.

I walked out of the room, made my way back to the car, and grabbed my bags as I walked back upstairs. After making sure that the room door was locked, I placed my bags on the bed and looked for the first aid kit that my mom packed for me.

I took out most of my clothes when I finally found what I was looking for and placed them on the bed. As I opened it, I saw that Mom had packed everything she would need for an operation, even though I told her that I would never need all these.

I placed everything I would need on the bed, grabbed the blanket from the bed, walked towards the man, and placed it over his lower half. I wore a pair of surgical gloves took my equipment towards him, and sat next to him as I began stitching him up.

Once I had stitched all the small wounds, I moved towards the wound that had a piece of knife inside. I tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't budge, so I made a small incision, took it out from there, and put it in my tray. It was a deep cut, and the flesh underneath the skin had turned an ugly black color.

“That knife must have been coated with Silver or wolfbane.” Silver said as I stitched him up. I removed the gloves, threw them into the rubbish bin, and took his hand in mine. As I intervened our fingers, I felt a subtle feeling of electricity pass through my veins.

“What was that?” I asked Silver, but she didn't say anything.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath as I focused on my energy. A few minutes later, I felt a tingling sensation within me. As I opened my eyes, I saw a soft red light glow from our intervened hands while his wounds began to heal.

Once I was satisfied with my handiwork, I removed my hand from him and sat against the wall. The man was still unconscious, but the frown that was on his face had now vanished. “How are we going to move him to the bed now?”

“I don't think that is possible. But let's just wait and see if he wakes up.” Silver suggested, and I nodded my head. I grabbed two pillows from the bed and placed one under his head while I placed the other next to him and laid down on it.

I woke up to the sound of groans, and as I opened my eyes, I saw that the man was mumbling something while his eyes were shut closed. “Hey, are you all right?” I lightly shook his shoulder, but he didn't wake up.

My hand moved up to his forehead, and I realized that he was burning up. I thought I healed him, but why is he burning up right now?

I have never dealt with anyone who had such a large amount of silver in their body before, but Mom used to tell me that sometimes, if it gets infected, the person might start to burn up but feel cold at the same time, but the packs would always have an antidote for that.

“What are we supposed to do now?”

“You know we can share our body heat with him. That might help.” Silver suggested when I felt my heart sink to the pit of my stomach. The thought of getting close to a man, made my heart beat increase while my breathing became uneven. “Amy, calm down. Nothing would happen.” Silver consoled me when I nodded my head. “Take a deep breath and let it out,” she said, and I did as she said when I felt my heart rate become normal again.

“I don't think I can do this, Silver,” I whispered as I stared at the man who was mumbling incoherent things.

“We have done so much. It's just about sharing our body heat, Amy. It might save his life.” Silver said, and after a lot of thought, I finally nodded my head. I moved closer to him and wrapped the blanket around the both of us when I felt him turn around and pull me extremely close to him.

I felt a lump form in my throat as I shut my eyes and slowly wrapped my hands around his waist. The shivering gradually stopped when I heard his heartbeat slow down. My body was burning up as well, but I didn't pull away as I felt his hand tighten around me while I drifted off to sleep again.

Alpha Lucas Sanders - POV

“What happened?” I growled when I saw Mateo walk inside my office. It's been more than six hours since Andres went missing, and there was still no trace of his whereabouts.

“The trackers that we sent to the northern borders just came back, Lucas. They said that he didn't go there as well.”

“What are the other borders left?”

“West and south,” he replied, and I nodded my head. I have told Andres several times to never chase a rogue without backup, but ever since that woman left him, he has made sure to go on a suicide mission, and it is breaking me from within to see my best friend like this. I don't think I could ever forgive myself if something were to happen to him.

“We will find him, Lucas. He is our Beta and the best fighter in this pack, I know nothing would have happened to him.” Mateo said, but I shook my head. It's been a year since she left him, and he hasn't still recovered from that rejection, and I don't think he would ever completely come out of it.
