Chapter Four

The city's atmosphere couldn't be compared with a peaceful environment, it is tense and unsettled. The atmosphere at the hospital is that of war, fear and panic. Daniel couldn't control his anger, the nurse dragged herself backwards with her mouth open wide. The wolf jumped to give a damaging attack. The nurse squeezed her face, raised her right hand involuntarily and bows her head a bit in fear waiting to be pounced on. The wolf moved with an accurate speed, the nurses opened their mouths in panic. The wolf perfectly flew over her annoyingly and landed at her back. He instantly turned but controlled himself and returned to his human form.

Everybody becomes silent as night for the space of one minute. The nurse on the nude floor expects something to have happened to her. She puts her right hand down and looks around rapidly. "Wow!" Noise couldn't be withheld but raged out with many voices jubilating.  The nurse stands up and looked backwards, she behold an angry-looking man staring at them in displeasure. She stared straight into his eyes and the other nurses gave Daniel the attention he seeks quickly due to the fear that gripped them. They are not prepared for what is coming next if he is not quickly given attention.

Daniel calmly gathers all the information he needs from them, he smiled, lowered his head and walked out of the area slowly. The nurses stare at him in surprise and watch him leave majestically. They returned to their duty post and what happened becomes a subject matter that couldn't be ignored. The whole incident was narrated by one of the nurses to the doctor. He opened his mouth wide after listening to the whole scenario and wondered why he is so interested in what is happening to the meant-to-be lovers who fought over what is unknown and made an incredible display that shattered them both into broken pieces. 

The queen recovered quickly at the hospital and it makes the doctor marvel but still, he is happy that she recovered quickly. The Alpha couldn't recover very fast because the wound he had was a deep one. 

The city needs to be governed and taken care of, still, the lovers must fulfil the custom of staying within the house for one week. Since the Alpha has not recovered same time as the queen, the queen will be discharged to take care of the city until Micheal returns from the hospital. Still, the queen has to be medically checked just to be sure there are no other things to be attended to. 

The hospital bed shakes softly as the queen tries to raise herself. She noticed her body is ok despite the unhealed wound she had during the epic crisis. The doctor walks into their ward and walks directly to where she is lying when he saw she tried to raise herself but was too tired to do that. He told her to relax for a while and walked away from her to meet the Alpha. He looked at his eyelids and checked his tongue by helping him to open his mouth. After a thorough check, he confirmed the Alpha is recuperating. He walks back to his office with one of the nurses. He sits down calmly on his chair and ordered the nurse to release the Queen after 2 hrs. She nodded her head in accordance with what he has said and reached for the door leading back to her duty post.

The pack keeps up with what had happened days ago but the noise about it has died down a bit still, some people are still seen spitting out the trash they call information. Daniel walked majestically to the town, his stomach groans in pain, he holds it and keeps walking "I think I am hungry again" he declared and walked farther so that he can have some rest. 

The day closes up its bright light and darkness is embodied. "Oh! I slept off" he stands from where he is sitting and stretched his body. Daniel has a little strength to walk a mile to the place he was when he received the food, he hopes he can see that often. He walks rapidly and luckily for him, he meets some bunch of the pack drinking themselves to stupors in an open store where alcoholics are being sold. 

"According to the custom of the werewolves, you can get a drink for free if two members of the pack have bought a drink", he raised his head when this flashed his brain. He walks up to them and calls himself their friend. The storeman was surprised but Daniel is quite popular within the city. He approached the store owner and asked for free liquor the owner of the store seemed indecisive but still he gave him free liquor, it's quite the custom of the werewolves. He sits himself down like a chief, then, the wind starts blowing in his favour, he pours the drink and tasted it before he starts drinking. It's just like heaven on earth. He shook his head in pleasure at what he is drinking. 

The night is long but it quickly dispelled its darkness and light hold its position. Micheal groans while he Is still very much asleep, the pain is still severe. The doctor comes into his ward to administer the dose. He walks calmly and slightly opens the door of the ward to avoid making a noise. He steps slowly into the hospital and hears the sound Michael is making, he knew immediately what that was and he has to rush to his bed. He examined him and quickly gave him a sedating drug that puts him back to sleep for a while. 

The doctor administers the healing dose and stands up. He checked his drip and have it replaced with a new one before he goes into another ward to check on Vivian. Vivian is completely awake and ok. The doctor entered her room and found her sitting upright on the bed with her drip attached to her hand. The doctor smiled as he walks majestically to where she is sitting. He knows she is fully well and has to be discharged. Although he asked the nurse to discharge her after two hours yesterday, the nurse couldn't because she is not in the right frame of mind to be left to govern a pack. The doctor called the nurse, she walks into the hospital quickly. " Quickly discharge her. She is perfectly ok now", he ordered the nurse with a smile. The nurse's face is shining and seemed happy because of the way the doctor smiled when ordering her. She knows he is happy. 

The doctor leaves her ward smiling as he heads to his office to continue the task of the day. The nurse calmly walks up to her and discharged her "You are free to go", she speaks audibly with a vibrant smile that portrays all is well. The nurse walked out while Vivian is still in. After some minutes, Vivian stands up and walked out of the hospital. She breathed heavily and heads to the city.

Some members of the pack sighted her and laughed her to scorn. Vivian noticed all this and feels hurt, her ego is being tampered with but still, she holds to be the queen of the pack. She walks rapidly with her head buried down in shame. Some members of the pack followed her in shadows but she took cognisance of it. 

Vivian quickly entered a narrow path that is walled at its two sides and leads straight to her house. A member of the pack jumped in her way to obstruct her from getting to her destination. She faced back and walked hastily to escape. Another member of the pack jumped to obstruct her. 

" Is this a set-up" she screamed at the top of her voice while she halt to fight them. 

"Now" one of the people obstructing her shouted. Vivian heard so many footsteps and some of the pack members stood on the wall. On their hands comes a stone, Vivian becomes so terrified. With what she has faced she shouldn't be passing through this. She is scared to death.

They all take their stance with a mask on each of their faces. They raised their right hands to cast the stone. Vivian's face becomes red and soiled, she realised this is the end and hated herself for having to fight Michael at first.
