(Author’s POV)
The doctor pressed his lips together and told Nathan truthfully, "Ms. Bella Allen’s head injury was caused by an object made up of partially silver, due to which she has lost a lot of blood. But thankfully she was brought here just in time and we managed to save her life. Although, she is still not completely out of danger and next few hours for her are quite critical. Once she wakes up, I can tell you more about her health status and how much this brain injury has affected her."
Nathan clenched his fist tightly; he didn’t know how to respond. Sara thanked the doctor as Lucius commanded, "Steven, I don’t want any mishandling on your part. See to it that her treatment is top notch and there is no chance of any relapse."
"Yes, my King," Steven, the attending doctor replied while bowing his head in respect.
Lucius turned and told Nathan, "Alpha Nathan, Alpha Keith. My men have arranged accommodations for you and your children in my pack house. You should rest as it has been quite a long journey for you."
Nathan didn’t want to leave Bella’s side but he couldn’t flat out refuse Lucius’s request. Sara saw his haggard face and convinced him, "Dad, you should go and rest for now. I am here for Bell. If anything happens or if there is any update I will let you know immediately." She assured him her tone soft.
Keith too agreed with Sara but he then added, "Nathan, Sara is right. And Caiten is also here with her. He will look after both Sara and Bella." He enunciated his last sentence with pressure as he gave a long glance towards Greg and Noah.
Though, Nathan was reluctant to leave, he still didn’t decline out of politeness. But he made sure to warn Sara through mind link, ’Sara, don’t trust anyone here. Not your current friends or your old ones. Stay alert and call for me immediately if you find anything suspicious or out of place.’
Sara assured him, ’I will follow your orders, father’ and nodded at him.
All the three Alphas departed for the pack house along with Hanson Gilbert and Owen Martin. Now only, Sara, Caiten, Noah and Greg were left. Caiten tried to gain Sara’s sympathy as he started hissing with discomfort while taking small steps, "Tskkkkkk ..... "
Sara asked him, her voice filled with concern, "What happened? Is your injury not healed yet?"
He lifted his shirt slightly and showed off the fresh wound around his lower left ribcage. Sara exclaimed a tad but loud, "Caiten, why are you enduring this? You should have treated your wound first and foremost."
Caiten made a puppy doggy face and replied, "I just didn’t wanted to make you worry. You are already dealing with a lot of stress. I don’t want to put more on your plate." He pursed his lips, showing a guilty face.
Noah and Greg looked at his Oscar worthy performance. Greg mumbled, "How can his wound still be fresh if he was attacked in the hotel? Isn’t he an Alpha wolf? His recovery rate should be ten times better than a normal wolf."
Noah narrowed his eyes and locked them with Caiten’s. He knew Caiten Snow was lying but what was his motive, he wasn’t sure of that. Sara asked a passing nurse to take Caiten with her for dressing his wound up.
Caiten obediently listened and followed the nurse meekly but as soon as he turned to the corner his stance changed. His slumped and dejected shoulders perked up and he walked with arrogant and authoritative steps, as if he was in no pain.
After his brief departure, Noah and Sara settled down in a chair as Greg uttered, "I feel thirsty. Do you guys also need water? I will go get it for you." And without waiting for their replies, he went off giving them space.
Sara’s mental state was much more stable and clear than before. Her memory struck her as she asked Noah, her voice filled with curiosity, "So, you knew about the werewolf kind?"
Noah hummed, "Mm~hmm ..... I do, quite closely."
"So, why didn’t you say anything before? You always knew that I was not a human like you but a werewolf, different specie from you, right?" Sara questioned him, her eyes narrowed.
"Umm~hmm, I knew. You never asked" he laughed awkwardly after replying.
