CHAPTER 2

SAPHIRE POV

I tried to yank my arm free but even with his injuries he is still pretty strong. I couldn’t get him to let go so I managed to keep my jacket on his injuries and he started trying to fight me like I was the enemy. 

I had to try and hold his other arm back as he flailed around.

“Listen asshole, if you’re smart then you’ll let me go and let me save you. Otherwise if you keep stopping me, the Moon Goddess herself won’t be able to save you.” I snapped at him. 

Somehow he snapped out of whatever delirious state that he was in and he let go of my wrist and I started treating his wounds the best I could with what I had. I pulled a small vile out of my pocket and I shook it up before I forced it down the man’s throat. It was to counteract the affects of the weapons that were used on this man. The weapons that have been designed to kill werewolves. 

Every time I held pressure to one of his injuries he would scream out and moan but I finally managed to get the bleeding to stop. 

The man lost consciousness before I could ask him any questions and I’m not a doctor. I didn’t know what to do with him now. 

I’d stopped the bleeding which meant he was stable for now and he seemed to be more comfortable now that he was unconscious. 

I wrapped my jacket around his ribs so it wouldn’t come loose and I got up and started running towards town. 

When I got to the hospital I was covered in blood and there were several medical staff, doctors and nurses, that were working but they stopped when they saw me run inside. 

“I need help. There’s a man by the river. He’s been attacked.” I said.

“Go and help him yourself.” A nurse sneered at me. 

It was no secret that I wasn’t liked in this town but even I thought that was a little out there. 

“Doctor. Please, he needs help. I think he’s been attacked by vampires.” I said. 

“No one in this pack has been reported missing.” The doctor said turning his back to me. 

“That’s because he’s not from this pack. But he’s injured and he needs help.” I said. 

“I don’t help people from other packs.” The doctor scoffed. 

But then an older doctor came to the foyer and he stopped the second he saw me. 

“Saphire.” He said looking me up and down. 

“Dr. Wilson. You need to come and help me. There’s a man by the river. He’s been attacked and he needs help.” I said. 

“Hold on. I’ll get my bag.” He said. 

So he went back to his office and he grabbed his medical bag and we left the hospital together. 

We followed the same trail that I used to get to the hospital and Dr. Wilson was asking me a lot of questions. 

“This isn’t going to go well for anyone. A non pack member in our territory.” Dr. Wilson said. 

“I think the river brought him here. He’s soaking wet and really delirious. He was unconscious when I left him.” i said. 

“Questions are still going to be raised.” he said. 

“I know. But I don’t care about that right now. I just need help.” I said. 

“Did he say anything?” Dr. Wilson asked. 

“Only once. He grabbed my wrist and thought I was the person that hurt him.” I said. 

“Yeah. That sound delirious. Tell me about his injuries. Wolves heal fast even from vampire attacks.” He said. 

“They used their weapons.” I said. 

“The ones that don’t let us heal.” He said. 

“Yeah.” I said. 

“Damn. So, these vampires know exactly what they’re doing.” He said. 

“Yeah.” I said. 

When we finally made it back to the river where I had left the injured man all we found was a blood soaked rock where he had been laying. 

“He’s not here.” I said shocked. 

I reached down and picked up my blood soaked jacket that was still on the bank of the river and I looked around only to find recent footprints in the dirt.

It didn’t make any sense. He wasn’t conscious. How could he just get up and walk away. 

“He is probably still delirious. You said that you managed to stop the bleeding. I think we need to assume that he’s gone back to his pack.” Dr. Wilson said. 

“He still needs help. I should try and find him.” I said. 

“No. Definitely don’t do that. The people at the hospital would have already notified the Alpha about you asking for help. You don’t need that attention.” Dr. Wilson said. 

“Yeah. Alright.” I said. 

But I stood there trying to figure out where the hell this man could have gone in his state. He was so wounded that he passed out from the pain. 

How could he just get up and walk away?
