Female Novel“DAMNIT BREATHE!” | heard before something heavy pounded my chest.
“KRISTEN!” Emmy's cries broughtback as the water expelled from my body.
“She’s alive!” | heard someone yell before my body was picked up and wrapped tightly in somethingwarm.
“She needs a hospital fast!” | wasn’t even sure who was carryingas | was lifted up. The cold ran bonedeep and | couldn't stop
shaking.
“Give her here.” | heard someone say before | was passed off. It wasn't a moment later that the blanketwas ripped from my frozen
grip and | was pressed against a warm body. The sparks toldAlec had found me.
“Drive.” Alec said angerly as he positionedon his chest. My body was completely covered but he keptopened it to look at me.
“Stay awake. Don’t you dare close your eyes.” He growled and commanded me.
“Nnnnice....ttttry.” | said as my teeth chattered together.
“What won't work?” Alec asked in confusion.
“Commmmmandddding mmmme.” It hurt to breath. Hurt to move but | tried to get my body as tightlyagainst Alec as | could. His
arms were tight, holdingagainst him.
“Don’t talk right now. Just stay away.” Alec said a little softer.
“Nnnnnooot rrrrooggggues.” | tried to speak again.
“Shhh, we will talk later.” Alec moved hish ands up and down my body to try to warm me.
“Two minutes.” | heard someone say.novelbin
My mind was becoming clearer as the shivering wasn’t so violent. “Pppppennny? “Eeemmmy?”
“They are alive.” Alec grunted as the car cto a stop. He pulledout into the cold, makingshrink back andhold onto
him.
“Put her here!” | heard a woman say.
Alec listened and setdown but | didn’t want him to letgo. “Nnnnno!” | tried to reach for him but he wasn’tthere.
“Weak pulse, slurred speech, her breathing is shallow and she is blue!” | heard voices but | wasn’tcomprehending. Where was Alec
and what happened to Emmy and Penny?
“Get an L.V. going. Sir, you are going to have to wait outside.” A male voice said. My body reacted onit’s own and moved away
from his voice.
“NO! NO!" | screamed as Darin’s face flashed before my eyes. “DON'T TOUCH ME!” | tried slappingtheir hands away. The light was
too bright and | couldn’t see anything. “DON'T TOUCH ME, DARIN!” | screamed.
“Kristen!” Alec's voice sounded beside me. “Darin is dead. You are alive. You are not trapped thereanymore. Listen to me. Listen to
my voice.” My body instantly relaxed as | heard his voice.
“Alec?” | asked as a sob hit me. “Too bright.”
“We have to get an I.V in her before her body shuts down from the cold. She is hypothermic and willdie!” The male voice said.
Shrinking away from him, | held onto Alec like my life depended on it. “She has been through severtrauma in the past. Is there a
female doctor? She isn’t afraid of females.” | heard a voice | recognized.
“Kristen. | am a nurse and | want to help you. Can | touch you?” The softest voice sounded to me.
| didn’t speak but | nodded yet. Between her and Alec, they movedback to the middle of the bed. Aleckept ahold of my hand
the entire time. “Let her save you, love.” Alec whispered to me.
“Can | start an 1.V.?” She asked as she stroke my arm.
Again, | nodded yes. “Can we turn the lights down?” The familiar voice asked.
“Letget the I.V. in and then we can.” The soft voice said. Something tight wrapped around my armbefore a pinch in my hand.
The tightness went away and warmth spread through my body. “Okay, you can dim the lights.”
The lights went away and | was able to try to open my eyes. “I am going to put this heating blanket onyou.” Looking through one
eye, | saw a female nurse say to me.
Nodding, she removed the blanket that was onand put a heavier one on my naked body. “I am going tohave to look at that
bite mark.”
“Her ankle is broken too.” As | was able to look through my eyes, | saw Colt standing in the corner ofthe room with his arms folded.
A hand rested on my head and stroke my hair, makinglook over at Alec. He looked fucking pissed andscared at the stime.
“What happened?” | asked.
“What do you remember?” He asked as the nurse lifted the blanket and inspected my thigh. The dooropened and another female
cin.
“A female doctor was requested then why are there two men in here?” She asked in a verydisapproving way.
“One is her brother and the other is her husband.” | knew the nurse was a wolf but the doctor washuman.
“Injuries?” The doctor looked at my chart.
“Broken ankle and hypothermia.”
“What about the thigh?” The doctor asked.
“Old wound from awhile ago. It's healing nicely, | just wanted to check it to make sure the crash didn’tdisturb it.” The nurse waved
off the doctor's concern.
“Let's get an x-ray and see how bad the ankle is. Do you have a heated I.V in there?” The doctorlooked at the fluids.
“] do. Her pulse is getting better and the confusion is less. She is mentally becoming more aware of hersurroundings.” The nurse
looked atand nodded.
“Great. Letknow when the radiographs are back.” She said and walked out.
“Bitch.” I couldn't help myself.
“Yes well, your bite marks do look okay. If there was anything, the cold water killed it all. Your color islooking better but | want to
do this bag and another bag of fluids before your mate takes you home.”
“Any long lasting injuries?” Colt asked.
“] don’t think so. As soon as we get out of the danger zone of hypothermia, she will get her wolf backand she will heal her in one
time. Everything she said was her subconscious coming back out. Like you said, her past trauma is stillwith her. As soon as she is
warm, she can go home.” The nurse smiled and walked out.
