Cole's POV
my fists made contact with my new desk. Splitting it in half. My paperwork flew everywhere. My pack mindlink was going crazy. The noise was driving me nuts.
The things that were being said were absurd. The first was, 'our pack is saved'
Then, 'what if she's dead?'
And finally, 'the Luna has returned!'
That one spiked my interest. What do they mean by that.
I picked up half of my desk and moved it to the side. These past 2 years have been too hard. I've work every hour of every day. Doing anything I can from thinking of Scarlett.
'ALPHA. ALPHA. QUICK, GET TO THE PACK TRAINING GROUND. ITS AN EMERGENCY!' My beta yelled through mindlink. The packs fear flooded my head.
I sprinted to the pack training grounds. There was a small circle of pack members. They had clearly noticed my presence and parted so as Scott could walk through.
This shirt and face was covered in blood. And in his arms was a small figure. Scarlett. That was the only sent that hit me.
I watched as her blood trailed down her arm. It trickles down her slim fingers then fell to the floor. Everyone was so quite I swear heard the drop of blood hit the floor.
I took three long strides and ripped my mate from Scott's arms. Her usually soft hair was matted with dried blood and dirt.
The pack doctor ran into the circle and ushered us inside, towards the hospital wing.
I slowly placed her fragile body on the plush bed. Sweeping the strands of hair away from her pale face. The doctor ran over to her and check her vitals.
'Alpha' he bowed his head in respect. 'Luna Scarlett will be ok. She has suffered many external injuries. But no serious injuries internally. She should wake up anytime now. I will keep her in for a few hours to monitor her vitals and keep her hydrated.' I nodded my head and the doctor walked out.
I sat in the seat by her bed and ran my hands down my face. The stubble along my jaw line was scruffy and unkept. These past few weeks I haven't shaved and I have hardly slept.
I had sat in the seat for about 5 minutes when the door burst open. In the doorway stood and furious Jenna. This is just great.
A small cough then drew my attention to Scarlett. Even better. This is going to be interesting.
Scarlett sat up slightly and blinked. Taking in her surroundings. 'Scott?' Her voice was soft and slightly harsh from the lack of water she has had. I passed her a glass filled with cold water. And she drank it vigorously.
'No, it's Cole.'
She was about to say something but Jenna beat her to it.
'Hey, I'm Luna of this pack. And Cole's mate.'
I watched as Scarlett's face contorted in pure disgust.
'I'm Scarlett. Rightful Luna and mate of Cole. I suggest you stay out of my way.'
Jenna smirked and let a small laugh escape her. My eyes flicked between Jenna and Scarlett. I had noticed all of Scarlett's injuries were healed and she slowly stood up from her bed. She hadn't grown in size at all. But I had notice that she had become more defined.
Obviously she kept herself in good shape when she was away.
Jenna had positioned her body before Scarlett's. She towered over her and smiled down menacingly.
'I'm Luna. And you will submit.' Jenna was using her Luna voice.
I saw Scarlett dip her head in submission. Then a hearty laugh erupted from Scarlett. Her head snapped up.
'Like I'd ever submit to a mutt like you'
Oh great. There was going to be a fight in the hospital room. I stood up and yelled 'STOP!' The two of them looked at me and Jenna bowed her head.
'You will not fight in the hospital room!' Both of the girls knew what that meant. They looked at each other and walked out the room.
I was certain that they would continue their fight outside. But to my disbelief they didn't. Scarlett turned left down the corridor and headed towards the spare rooms. Jenna was about to follow but I grabbed her wrist and shook my head.
She knew exactly what that meant. The two of us walked into our room. I crawled in bed and fell asleep straight away. My dreams only of Scarlett and her blood covered body. It was a nightmare. But at least I knew she was safe now. With me and our pack.
