“And you?” I ask the other nurse.
“I’m Piper, Luna.”
“Who’s the most senior nurse here?” I ask.”I am, Luna,” Savannah says.
“Savannah, you’re with me. Anna, Piper, do you see what we need for each of these?”
They nod, looking like deer in headlights. What the hell? This is a fucking hospital for goddess’ sake!
“Keep making them until I call you. Put triage on one side, crash on the other. Add anything else you think we’ll need, I say, rushing out the door and back to the main area.”Luna! Why aren’t you in a safe room?”
“Because I’m a doctor, stand aside,” I say to the warrior who is holding the man I need to see.
“Does Alpha know you’re not in a safe room?” he asks me.
I turn and get in his face. “I am a doctor. Would you rather I let this man die while we argue about it?” I growl.”No Luna,” he says.
“Savannah,” I say, turning to see that she’s already getting soap and water to wash off the wound.
When the two warriors continue to huddle around me, I look at them.”You don’t need to stay.”
“We kind of do, Luna. Alpha will kill us if something happens to you and we knew you weren’t in a safe room.”
I stop and look at them. “Fine. Then guard that hospital. No one gets in who doesn’t belong to this pack.”
“Yes, Luna,” they say, seemingly relieved to have orders.”Why isn’t your wolf healing you?” Savannah asks him.
“Too weak,” the warrior says. I look over her shoulder. He has nasty slashes on his thigh and he’s bleeding heavily.
“PIPER! I NEED AN IV BAG!” I shout, turming and nearly running into Haynes.
“What the hell are you doing out of bed. Stop making my job more difficult!” I bark at him.
“I can help, Luna.””Haynes…
“Please, Luna. I can’t fight, but I can help you,” he says.
I press my lips together and put my hand on his forehead, then his cheek, then his neck. His fever has come down.”Your wolf?” I ask him, but he shakes his head.
I point my finger at him. “You feel any dizziness, feel faint in any way. you stop. You hear me? If I have to drag your sorry ass off the floor because you didn’t listen to me, I will make your ears bleed when you Wake up again, got it?”
I watch his lips twitch. “Yes, Luna.”
I turn, just as more wolves are carried in. “Savannah, you got him?””Piper’s going to stitch him up. Anna, we need triage kits!” she yells.”Haynes, you’re a runner. Go get those kits from Anna so she can keep making them. Bring them out here to us.””On it,” he says.
I turn and as one, Savannah and I begin triaging the injured as they come in. There are too many of them, too many for just the four of us. I end up having Haynes help with triage so I can at least get to the worst of the warriors.
“How many more of you have weak wolves. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with this pack,” I mutter as I debride yet another pack mermber with massive gashes that aren’t healing. My frustration and fatigue has me cursing.
“I heard that about you, Luna,” the warrior who I’m cleaning says to me. Not one one of these men and women has flinched as I’ve scrubbed their wounds clean. It makes me think back to earlier when I saw Warren’s chest. As muscular as he is, he was riddled with scars, they all are. There’s only so much that a wolf can heal before the wounds heal and scar on their own. This pack’s scars is a testament to their courage, their fearlessness, and their constant fighting.
“What’s that,” I ask, not looking away from the nasty wound I’m cleaning.
“You mumble to yourself. It’s cute,” he says, and I look up at him. Is he seriously flirting with me right now?”Cute?” I ask, incensed.
“We don’t get a lot of cute around here, Luna. When we do, we appreciate it.” another warrior says, holding a bandage to his head.
The others sitting around all nod and mumble their agreement.
“Don’t let the cute fool you. Our Luna’s an incredible doctor,” Haynes says, walking up with another triage kit. I turn and look at him, surprised and a bit humbled by his praise. I’m not sure what I would have said but at that moment, warriors come rushing in carrying another warrior, this one covered in blood.
“LUNA!” the warriors yell. I rush over, putting my fingers on the pulse of the man and not finding one.
“I NEED A CRASH KIT!” I yell, as Savannah grabs a gurney and swings it over to us.
“Get him on the gurney,” I yell, jumping on top of him and beginning compressions.
“What happened?” I ask, looking up as Savannah puts a resuscitator mask over the warrior’s face. I realize that this is Beta Charlie and my stomach drops.
“Don’t you dare think you’re coming into MY hospital and dying on MY watch Beta! No one fucking dies in MY hospital.” I say, continuing to do compressions.
“Luna, here’s the defibrillator,” Savannah says.
“Get it ready,” I say as Piper comes over and hooks Charlie up to a machine so we can see if he has any heart activity. Normally, we’d be able to hear it, but right now, there are too many people in the room, too much adrenaline, and too much blood pumping in my ears for me to hear it.
