“I did a quick vaginal exam and discovered multiple tears in her wall. She was raped repeatedly at the same time of the torture”
Silence filled the room, but a hurricane, tornado, and a volcano were all swirling inside me. This was the most horrible way a female can ever be violated. How she endured all that abuse was beyond my furthest understanding. The fact that she was still fighting to live after all that abuse and attempt on her life made my knees weak.
I punished her so hard this morning to prove a point to my new pack, unknowing that I was hitting her over already cut skin, causing her unimaginable pain. Still, she never screamed or begged me to stop. She didn’t even try to make me change my mind about the punishment. She kept her mouth shut. How could she do that? Be so strong? So brave?
“Alpha Klaus, I have a solution to start curing her body right away, but I need your permission” Dr. Hunt pulled me out of the very dark spot I was headed into.
“Whatever it is, you have it. I want you to do everything in your power to save her life” I told him firmly.
“We need to start her on some kind of blood dialysis. We will draw all her blood, remove any toxins in it, and at the same time inject her with your blood. You need to be connected directly, I am afraid we don’t have time to wait for multiple blood draws. I have to warn you though, the procedure will drain a lot of blood from you. It will make you weak for a couple of hours”
“Do it” I order him.
Everyone moves at once. Nurses start hooking her up to a machine, someone brings a chair for me to sit on, I take it and sit next to Ella’s head. I lift up the sleeve of my shirt and offer my arm to another nurse to start the blood transfusion.
The room falls silent as we all hold our breaths and stare at her heart monitor.
A few minutes later, we start to see a slight rise in her heart beat. We all breath a sigh of relief. It was working.
“I’ll give her a few minutes, but I need to start the surgery right away if I am going to stop the bleeding in time” Dr. Hunt informs me. I nod in agreement.
I turn my attention to her face, as the doctor begins cutting into her chest. She looked so peaceful. You look at her face and you can’t imagine how much pain she was in for days. How much hurt she must have endured. No one should have felt this amount of pain. No one should have their virtue taken away like this. All my anger at her was gone. I can’t believe I was going to her room to punish her. I felt beyond ashamed at myself.
I hold my hands in fists so tightly to fight the nagging urge to touch her face. To sooth her and tell her that she will be okay. That she will survive this.
The sudden alarm of her heart monitor indicating a flat line, made my own heart race crazily. No, no, no, no you cannot do this to me. Don’t you dare die before I get you justice for what was done to you.
I stand up from my chair and look at Dr. Hunt. He was charging the heart paddles and screaming “clear” to everyone. He did it once, twice, and then one last time. My eyes were glued to the monitor waiting for the line to change. Come on Ella. Fight one last time.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
I collapsed on the chair fighting the dizziness that creeped up on me. Her heart was beating again at a good pace. I looked over my shoulder at Joseph and saw him steadying himself against the wall breathing rapidly, as if he was running for miles. He came to care for Ella so much in this short period of time. While my feelings were complicated, torn between hate for what her father did, doubt that she was in on it the whole time and lied to me, sympathy for what she has been through the last two days, respect for her bravery in enduring all that pain, and like for her challenging personality that resembled Kate’s.
My head was pounding and my concentration was starting to slip. I felt Joseph’s hand on my shoulder.
“Are you okay Klaus?”
“I am fine. Just a little headache”
“Is the bleeding under control doctor?” Joseph asks doctor Hunt.
“Yes beta. The hardest part is over. The knife made a tear in her heart wall, but I stitched it and it appears to be holding. Give it a day or two, and it will heal completely. I am just about to close her up. Her other injuries will heal on their own, including her skull fracture, but it might take her a few days. She needs to rest” he motions for another doctor to continue in his place, and comes over to remove the needle from my vein.
“How are you feeling alpha?” asks doctor Hunt.
“I’m fine, just a light headache” I answer him firmly, although it was anything but light.
“I will have the staff prepare a room for you to rest in”
“There is no need. I will be escorting Ella until she wakes up”
“She will have to remain asleep for a day in order for her skull fracture to improve”
“a whole day? You can’t wake her up before that? I need to talk to her doctor”
“I am afraid waking her up before she is ready will have adverse effects on her healing”
“But you can wake her up right? Just for half an hour then you can put her to sleep again”
“Klaus it’s dangerous. Just let her heal for a day. She is not going anywhere” said Joseph disapprovingly.
“She is not, but whoever attacked her and whoever assaulted her might get away or try to kill her again. I need her to tell me who did this to her”
“But…” Joseph was about to disagree with me but I cut him off.
“This is not up for debate. I need to talk to her as soon as possible. When can we wake her up doctor?”
The doctor takes a deep breath apparently conflicted about disagreeing with his alpha for the benefit of his patient. But he could see there is no changing my mind about this.
“I can’t wake her up before six hours of rest. And even then, she needs to be put back to sleep as soon as you are done talking to her. It will sit her back on recovery though I have to inform you, alpha”
“Thank you doctor Hunt. For everything”
At that moment, a nurse comes in and hands the doctor a peace of paper. He gives it a quick scan, then says “Just like I predicted. There was definitely wolfs bane in her system, the test result just confirmed it”
