Liam’s POV
When I received Kael’s call, I knew from the way he spoke that something terrible had happened.
The previous day, I had been caught up with back-to-back surgeries. Knowing Eira’s condition was an allergic reaction, I let them handle it. Jason was there, and he knew how to manage such situations. I thought it might even help him warm up to her a little.
But I was wrong.
I didn’t know that when I was called again, I would see her in such a devastating state.
Even though I was a doctor and had seen worse cases of harm, I couldn’t help but be shaken by what had happened to her. Her entire body... I didn’t have words to explain.
But for the first time in a long time, my eyes turned moist, threatening to shed tears.
The last time I had tears in my eyes was six years ago, when our pack lost our Alpha and Luna and we watched our pack descend into deadly chaos three years back.
As I watched her, at that moment, I wished... I wished she had died long ago instead of coming back to us.
I didn’t even want to look at Kael or any one among these five. Monsters. They had crossed every imaginable line of cruelty. Even the worst criminals, who had committed worse crimes than hers, were given a quick death.
Swallowing my emotions, I turned to my work, silent. I didn’t speak a word to Kael, though I knew he must have been waiting for me to report her condition.
"Alpha, let the hospital staff enter the house. I need their help," I told him, without even bothering to look at him. "She needs a change of clothes, and her body needs to be cleaned."
Kael made a call to security, and soon the two male nurses I had brought with me were let in.
But the moment they stepped inside Eira’s room, Kael’s gaze darkened. He moved and pulled the sheet over Eira’s exposed body.
"They can’t do it," he declared coldly.
"They are hospital staff, not random people," I told him. "They’re used to handling patients, regardless of whether it’s a man or a woman. You don’t allow females inside your home, so I had no other choice. Or would you like to give me a hand?"
He stood in silence. It was clear he wouldn’t break his rule of not allowing any woman inside his home. Neither did he look like he wanted these men to touch her—watch her naked while they cleaned her.
And he sure as hell wasn’t going to help me.
"Alpha," I said, my calm but had a silent mockery in it, "looking at her body, you can tell numerous men have already done far worse than just touching her. If you can accept that, this should be fine as well."
His jaw tightened, his fists clenched, as if trying to suppress his anger at my mocking and provocative words. But the next moment, he turned to leave the room, letting me handle things my way.
’They claim to hate her, and then torture her, and yet because they bought her, they can’t bear the thought of another man touching her. Bastards!’ I frowned inwardly and motioned for the two nurses to begin.
The bloodstained sheets were replaced. Her body was carefully cleaned, the wounds disinfected and dressed. Fresh hospital clothes were put on her frail form.
