Chapter 0396
I call for help and more pack members come to assist with the injured. Several of our wolves are
unconscious and many are not healing because of bullet wounds. Only one looks to have been injured
severely and I send him back to the pack first. I’m worried about Grace, but she seems unperturbed by
the bullet in her shoulder. However, I’ll feel better once it’s out. I know we were both hit by wolfsbane
arrows, but other than the injury taking a bit longer than normal to heal, I’m not feeling the effects of the
poison. I’m beginning to truly understand Rik and Liam’s excitement when they talk about the gifts of
being mated to a Guardian. I’m stronger and my body heals faster. After a battle like this, I should be
feeling exhausted and sore, but I don’t. I almost feel rejuvenated.
When we get back to the pack, we head straight to the pack hospital. When we arrive it’s chaos, and
not just because it’s full of wolves needing medical assistance. Connor, Thomas’s wolf is standing,
guarding….something, snarling at everyone who comes near. Grace rushes up and I can hear Sirona
trying to persuade Connor to let her pass.
“What’s going on?” I ask, coming up behind Grace. Connor stops growling, but he doesn’t move.
“Thomas brought in one of the sprites who is badly injured. She needs medical assistance, but she
became terrified when I approached her. Thomas shifted and Connor has been guarding her, not letting
anyone come near her.
As I look, I can see that the little sprite is the one that was clinging to life. Connor has put himself close
enough that his tail is touching her, and it looks like she is holding it in her hand.
“Connor, stand down.” Louis commands him. He whines, fighting my Alpha command. Grace steps
forward, taking Connor’s face in her hands.
“Connor. You know I won’t hurt her. Let me pass.” He whines again, but his body relaxes, and he lets
Grace move to the sprite. I can see the sprite twins standing off to the side, watching and holding each
other in concern.
Grace walks up to the little sprite. She’s the smallest one I’ve seen so far. I’m not. sure if she’s
considered a child, or if she’s just small. Connor turns to stand next to Grace as if he’s ready to step in
if she hurts the sprite.
“Your name is Tula, right?” Grace says, gently reaching out and stroking the girl’s face with her finger.
She sniffs and looks up at Grace. “Yes.” She says quietly.
“I know you were hurt, but my Gamma, Lady Gamma Sirona, needs to look at you so she can help you
heal.” Grace says, using the terms that the sprites use when they address us.
“She can’t fix me” She says, so quietly I almost can’t hear her. “They pulled my wing off.” She says and
I can see a tear falling down her face. The other sprites we’ve seen shine brightly, but this one almost
seems like her light is dying out. I wonder if that’s how they die. Their light goes out.
Itum and walk to the nearest office. I pick up the phone and dial a number I’ve
never used
“Hello” 1 deep voice answers.
“This is Alpha Eli. I need to speak to King Ailduin. It’s a matter of life and death.” The phone is silent so
long, I’m not sure they hung up on me or not. As I’m about to hang up, a voice I recognize comes on
the line.
“Alpha Eli?”
Aolis?
“Yes. My father could not come to the phone, but our warrior said this is a matter of life and death.”
“Yes. My pack was attacked by hunters today.” I tell him, wanting to quickly get to the point.
“Is Lily okay? Was she injured?” He immediately asks.
No, they weren’t here at the time of the attack.” I hear an audible sigh.
