Garrett then continued solemnly. “His most problematic areas have been addressed, but as Dr. Johnson stated, he was badly and severely injured, sir. He’s also intubated, so even if he weren’t in critical condition, he still wouldn’t be able to talk. The tube is helping him breathe, due to the collapsing lung. We had to put him on anesthetics and realized it would be best for him to be in a medically induced coma for the time being.”Dr. Johnson picked back up. “The coma is only until we can address all of his concerns. He still has a long way to go and his road to recovery won’t be easy, so he will not have it easy going forward for a while. We’ll get him on the list for a transplant and hope to find a match rather soon; he would have to be under strict observation and he’ll have to have weekly check-ups. Once he comes to and everything is progressing and healing, he would have to undergo physical therapy.”“We recommend talking to him, let him know that you’re here. Any concerns you

‘You like to get to the point, I see.’Artemis growled loudly. ‘I don’t have time for this.’ Artemis took a stance that showed she was ready to defend herself and rip this wolf’s throat out. The other wolf was a silvery grey, with stark blue eyes and black paws. He was smaller than she was, so she knew this wasn’t an Alpha wolf. Maybe a Gamma or worse; a rogue. The grey wolf pounced towards Artemis and as he jumped, she slid underneath him and caught his belly with her paw, while grabbing his back paw with her teeth. She flung the wolf away from her and the wolf let out a small yelp. ‘He’s inexperienced Artemis. Keep an eye on him.’She smirked. ‘Gladly. Let’s get this over with.’ She then watched as he came at her again. This time though, he tried to pull off the same stunt that she had, but it was of no use. Denice smirked slightly, knowing that he had exposed himself; she could tell he lacked experience. Artemis swiftly moved her paw to his face while grabbing his throat and fl

**** TRIGGER WARNING – MENTION OF TORTURE AND ABUSE **** Gregory couldn’t be more proud hearing the way that his Beta spoke. “Thank you, Jake.” Avery looked up at the three people standing in the room and the tears fell from his eyes. “Thank you, all of you. We have to save my sister and I know that you will help me do that.” Denice spoke, while her tears continued to stain her cheeks. “Avery, we will help and do all that we can, okay?” Avery didn’t speak, he just nodded his head in gratitude. Gregory shifted his attention to Denice and Jake, before speaking. “Beta, continue to think of a way to get them in and out in one piece. Listen to him; he needs us, they both do.” “Yes Alpha.” Gregory then walked out of the room, so that Avery could continue. He then took a deep breath and wiped his tears away. “They used my sister as a bargaining chip. Threatened to take her from my life, so I did what they asked of me. If I didn’t do what they asked, they would torture me. Beneath the pa

‘Dammit! We can’t find her. Avery, where could she be?’‘She should be in the packhouse or near it. Sometimes she likes to go to the waterfall.’ Jake let out an exasperated sigh. ‘A waterfall? Th-That goes beyond what we had planned for, but we will get her.’ They moved further into the pack, doing their best to not make any noise as they trekked further into Blood Moon’s territory. As they got further in, they heard the faint sounds of a waterfall and they almost ran to her, but had to remember not to. Their breathing hitched in their throats as they got closer to her and she was startled. Anna turned her body in their direction and almost let out a scream, but Riley came up behind her and covered her mouth. In a whisper, Gregory spoke. “Hey, we’re not here to hurt you. We’re here to take you away from here. It’s time for volatile retribution.” Her eyes lit up and she resisted the urge to scream. She stammered a response and softly spoke. “H-how did you? My brother, Avery! He’s al

Three months had passed since Derreck was placed in the hospital. His recovery was slow-going, but he was making progress. Hartley took over temporarily at the company while Derreck was in recovery. While in a coma, Derreck dreamt about her nonstop. He felt haunted in his dreams with how much he was dreaming of her; her jet black hair, icy blue eyes and her laugh. He craved her touch, everything about her really. He was sitting up in his hospital bed when a knock pulled him from the depths of his mind. Jared walked into his room and bowed his head slightly before speaking. “Senior Gray, I have done what you asked.”Derreck huffed. “And?” Jared gulped hard before continuing. “We’ve come up empty handed sir. After the incident, Mr. Jones told us of where we could find him, but the place was swept clean the same day.” Derreck let out a roar of frustration. Apollo wanted blood! “I want that fucker’s head on a pike! Don’t come to me ‘til you have found him!” “Y-yes A-Alpha.”“Leave me!
