(Author’s POV)
"She is such a good kid, Noah. Then why did this happen to my sister? Just why~" Sara was a crying mess as she mumbled her grievances to him.
Noah was embracing her in his arms gently, patting her hair and comforting her. He kept telling her, "Nothing will happen to her. You can trust the doctors here. They will do their best to save Bella." He said this but inside, he was tensed for Bella. As a medical student, he knew that Bella’s situation was grave and even life threatening.
Sara was too caught up in her own sorrow that she didn’t even question Noah about how he knew the doctors from Moon Shine Pack as a human. She kept on weeping and sobbing, just like how she had held him inside the infirmary that day.
The passerby and other patients gazed at the scene as Sara was inconsolable at this point.
Soon, Nathan and Keith dashed their way inside the hospital and to the intensive care floor. When they reached at that floor, they saw Noah and Sara hugging."
Nathan made his way towards his eldest daughter and asked, "How is Bella now?"
Sara blinked twice when she saw her dad standing in front of her. She rushed towards him and hugging him while crying, "Dad, Bella~. She is inside ..... and .... doctors are ... doctors are treating her right now." She said this between her sobs.
Keith, who was following behind, creased his brows in irritation as he sized Noah up. He didn’t like how Noah was embracing his future daughter in law. He didn’t like their closeness even one bit. But it was no place and time to show his disapproval, so he maintained his neutral face and joined Nathan.
Both he and Nathan were heartbroken to see Sara’s devastated state. Normally, she was quite a composed and calm person but right now, she was bawling her eyes out, hysterically.
Noah stood at the side silently, not interrupting father and daughter. When Sara had cried her heart out and there were no tears left to shed, the nurse rushed out of the critical care unit. Noah stopped her and asked, "How’s her condition? Is it stable?"
"The patient has lost a lot of blood so her situation is a bit dicey. For now, I can only tell you is that, the doctors are doing their best." after telling this small but hefty piece of information, the nurse walked to the other side, her steps hurried.
Nathan heard this and he backed away, his steps staggering. He was a strong and powerful Alpha of the famous Blue Mountain Pack but as a father, it was too much to see his own flesh and blood on the verge of something irrevocably dreary.
Sara cried out anxiously, "Dad."
Noah was fast with his steps as he rushed and supported Nathan and settled him in a vacant chair, "Mr. Allen, you should sit here." He unscrewed the cap and handed a water bottle to him.
Nathan looked up at him as his focused shifted towards Noah. He asked, "Who are you?" He didn’t accept the bottled water as he was wary of Noah.
Noah introduced himself formally, "Sir, I am Noah ..... Sara’s college friend." He intentionally skipped his last name in order not to create any doubt. As an Alpha, both Nathan and Keith knew about the surname ’Everests’ and who it belonged to. If he told them his last name, they will immediately link his bloodline.
Keith was observing Noah from the sidelines and questioned him point blank, "Which family do you belong to young man? Have we met before?" He was sure that he has seen Noah somewhere, but where, he doesn’t know.
Noah pursed his lips, not wanting to answer. He then only gave answer to his second question, "No sir, it is my first time meeting you."
Keith saw his hesitation and repeated his words again, "You have not answered my previous question. What is your last name?"
