(Author’s POV)
"Greg, how is Brave’s condition?" Sara asked with a concern filled tone, her eyes were rimmed a shade of red, her nails digging her in her palms.
Noah squeezed her shoulders gently, comforting her as Greg Andrew spoke, his voice was all professional and respectful, "I will be honest with you my Luna and my King. The injuries that Alpha Brave has sustained are way too grave. The claw tears on his chest and back is ghastly and his nose has also been dislocated. His eye socket is also damaged."
Both Noah and Sara’s hands clenched at Dr. Andrew’s words, he further continued, "Plus, because of his past mental and physical trauma, his overall body is not in very good shape."
Alaric came forward and questioned with gritted teeth, his voice was hoarse "Greg Andrew, tell us what can be done to save Brave?"
Greg sighed and replied, "Alpha Alaric, although Alpha Brave’s wounds are quite serious, one good thing is that his wolf is awake now, which will help him in improving his physical health somehow, as for the mental part I am not so sure. If his wolf would not have awakened, it would have been difficult for him to even survive today’s ordeal."
Everybody in the room tensed up at what Greg Andrew told them. Their mind swirled with thoughts of the worst case scenario. ’What if, what if Raw didn’t come to rescue Brave in time? We would have lost him tonight. He possibly could have died.’ This thought alone was heartbreaking for each of the Everests.
Alaric growled as he swore, "I will not let a single soul survive who made a mess of my brother."
Elio who came back to the pack house with Dr. Andrew fired another of his query, "But Dr. Andrew, if Raw has fully woken up, why Brother Brave’s injuries are not recovering already?"
Andrew pressed his lips together and then responded, "Elio, Alpha Brave’s wolf may have woken up from his slumber but he has been sleeping for too long. And because he has used up a lot of his energy today due to the people who attacked him and for his wolf transformation too, both his wolf and his body are exhausted to the core. I have given him healing potion for now. We’ll have to wait and see to know further about his condition thoroughly."
All of them looked at the colorless figure of Brave who was lying in his bed. The blood on his body and face was all cleaned up and now the wounds implicated by Damien and Victor were clearly visible.
His face was pale and his lips were chapped with a small cut. His right eye was bruised and had turned in a shade of purple. The claw injuries were patched by Dr. Andrew, so it was all bandaged up. Various wires were attached to his body and a needle was inserted in his dorsal arch vein, which was connected to the bag filled with healing medicine to help him recover fast.
Now, it was Andrew’s turn to ask the question. With curiosity filled eyes he asked, "By the way, if you don’t mind may I ask, how did Alpha Brave’s wolf woke up suddenly?"
That was the question which was lingering on each of the Everests mind. But only Alaric fisted his hands as he licked his lips, thinking hard. He had seen the whole scene from the very start; Myra grabbing the pendant from Brave’s neck, its breaking and shattering followed by Brave calling Myra his mate, all of it. So, only one thing could have awakened Raw from his deep sleep and that what, MYRA MIRACLE. He was almost sure with this thing but he needed to confirm it.
Alaric chose to remain silent; his brain was a chaotic mess.
Sara replied to Greg’s inquiry, "His wolf must have felt threatened and because of survival instinct, he awakened and appeared to save him as well as my son." Her explanation seemed quite valid; after all, survival instinct can unleash a true potential of a person and make them cross the line for their goal, so it made a lot of sense to everybody.
Inside Myra’s room, Nora was sitting in a chair beside her friend who was sleeping. She seemed peaceful but Nora knew very well that this peace will be short lived. Once Myra wakes up, a bigger fight was awaiting her.
She sobbed uncontrollably, whimper after whimper, as she kept on apologizing to the figure lying in bed with her eyes still closed, "My-rah, Myra, I am really *sob* sorry. I am sooooo; I am soo, soooooo sorry, Ra-ra. I never wanted this, *sob* never wanted to hide this from, from you, Myra. *sob* I wanted to tell you all about it tonight but, but not like this. Not under such circumstances. It is all my fault. It is all my damned fault." She sniffed saying these words.
Dion entered the room quietly and saw his sister sobbing and being a mess, his heart ached at this sight. He stood behind Nora, pressing both her shoulders with his hands to suppress her emotion of pain. Nora sensed what he was doing so she just turned around a bit and hugged him, crying hysterically he said, "Don’t~, don’t do it Brother Dion. I deserve it. I deserve every single tear and pain. I deserve all of it."
If Alaric wouldn’t have broken the barrier, what might have happened to Myra was a terrible thought he didn’t even wanted to indulge in. ’Just like the camp, tonight as well, I couldn’t do anything to protect my people. What use is this Lycan power of mine?’ He was drowning in self-pity. A wolf that could not even protect his mate and his sister, he was ashamed of himself.
Drey didn’t like his pessimistic and self-depreciating attitude, so he corrected him, ’Dion everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, the power we possess is significant when required. And the fact that she is our mate won’t change even after this. Whosoever saved her does not matter, what is truly important is that she is safe, sound and well.’
