Chapter 0136
When I looked down, I didn't see any Gammas and I knew I'd be able to use the shadows to hide myself until I was out of the area. I used the ledges and the vines on the side of the packhouse to climb down the building. Once my feet were securely on the ground, I kept
close to the building and hid in the shadows. I could hear Gammas around the corner, but they didn't seem to notice me, so I kept moving.
I eventually got far enough away that I was able to run across the streets of the park and toward the hospital. The entire pack was like a ghost town; it was early. In the distance, I could hear the ongoing fight and my stomach clenched at the thought of Elliot in that fight. It sounded brutal with the growling and the snapping of canines.
"Luna? What are you doing out here?" One of the gammas asked as I approached the hospital. I froze in place, completely forgetting that there could be gammas standing guard here as well.
"I came to check on the injured," I said, trying to sound as confident as I could.
"You shouldn't be out here. There's a battle going on. It's dangerous. Everyone should be at the packhouse," the other Gammas said, folding his arms across his chest.
"Well, I'm here. So, are you going to send me back? Or are you going to let me in?" I asked him to dare them to turn me away.
They looked at one another, uncertainty clear on their faces.
"Might as well come in. It's too dangerous to travel back," one of the gammas conceded, stepping aside for me to enter.
I walked in with my head held high.
Most of the waiting room was empty except for a couple of Gammas stationed inside. They looked surprised to see me, but their eyes clouded over, and I knew the gammas outside were letting the gammas inside of my untimely arrival. They were probably going to reprimand the gammas stationed at the packhouse for not keeping a better eye on things.
I walked to the nurse's station.
"I need an update on the injured. Have we lost anyone else since they've arrived here?" I asked.
She frowned, typing on her computer to get me the updates, and after a few minutes, I saw the sadness in her eyes.
"A few," she answered. "Mostly warriors though. They came here after they were injured in the battle."
"Any females?"
"No, Luna," she answered.
"What's the status on our packmates Emma and Alison?"
She typed on her computer again before answering.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Emma is in the recovery room. She didn't come in with serious damage and Alison is in surgery right now. Her injuries were more severe," she answered.
I nodded, wanting to throw up at the thought of my new friends suffering like this.
"Have you heard from the Alpha?" I asked.
"No, Luna," she answered. "But I had
heard from the Beta; he's been keeping us updated so we know what to expect. The Alpha had arrived at the battle about an hour ago. As far as I know, he's fine for right now."
I nodded.
"What room is Emma in? I'd like to see her," I told her.
She got me the information and I thanked her. Gave the gammas a look behind me and narrowed my eyes.
"Please, keep everyone there safe," I told them.
"Yes, Luna," they both said at the same time.
I used the elevator to reach the
second floor of the hospital and then I walked the hallway until I reached Emma's room. When I opened the door, I saw her curled up in bed, her eyes were red from tears and her lips were quivering. I knew she had to have been crying and terrified.
"Hey," I said, shutting the door behind me.
She lifted her head to look at me.
"S... Silver?" She stammered.
I smiled at her.
"How are you feeling?" I asked her, stepping towards her.
