“It is her head; I saw a rouge stand over her. I don’t know what he hit her with though” I said. The nurse nodded and the doctor came busting in. He started ordering tests and a head scan. Another nurse came up to me and told me I needed to wait outside in the hall. I vaguely heard her and I let her lead me to the waiting room. I saw Wyatt and Zach bust through the doors at the same time. They both noticed me and looked at all the blood I had on me.
“It’s Brookes, she had a really bad head wound. I ran her here. The doctor is with her.” I said quietly. Zach looked enraged. He let out the most deadly grow I have ever heard from him. Wyatt had to restrain him.
“Zach, that is enough!” I said with as much authority as I could manage. Zach instantly calmed down and looked at me, but there was so much rage in them. “I already killed him. I snapped his neck. She will be okay but I need you to calm down a little so we cannot disrupt the doctors as they work. She will be okay” I said calmly. Zach just nodded and walked over to the chair and sat down with his hands on either side of his head gripping his hair.
“Are you okay?” Wyatt asked me, to bring my attention back to him.
Looking down, I had blood everywhere. All down my chest, stomach, arms, and even my neck and face. “Yeah, I don’t have a scratch on me, this is all Brooke’s. Are the women okay that were in the safe room? I assume they didn’t make it on time. The door was open when I got there.”
“Yeah, they are fine. They mind-linked me and told me what happened, and what you did. Thank you for protecting them. Before I could answer, more people piled in. Some wounded and some looking for Brooke. Alpha and Luna came through and Wyatt was off talking to them, so I sat down by Zach.
“Thank you, Nina” Zach said in pure agony.
“You don’t have to thank me. I would do it again if needed.”
“You can go shower; I will let you know what they say when it is time.”
“You sure? I don’t mind staying.”
Just then the doctor walked out, “Zach? Alpha? Luna?”
“Yes doctor! Is she okay?” Zach jumped up and ran to the doctor.
“She is in a coma currently. We were able to stabilize her but she had significant swelling in her brain. She will need to remain in a coma till the swelling goes down. She should pull through but we will know in 48 hours if she will make it. It is up to her now. The mate bond is strong. I will need you to be beside her and help her heal.” The doctor finished. He nodded to the Alpha and walked away.
Zach ran into the room and the Alpha and Luna were right behind him. I took that as my cue that I was not needed here anymore. I quietly slipped past everyone else and made my way outside. The smell of blood hung in the air.
“Nina!” I heard someone yell. Turning around, I found Wyatt jogging up to me. He was also covered in blood. “I will need to talk to you about what happened.”
“Can it wait till I have had a shower?”
“Yes, I am going down to the dungeons to interrogate some we caught. I will see you later this evening them.” Wyatt said with a frown.
“I want to go with you!” I said and crossed my arms over my chest, making my boobs stick out. I saw his eyes glance down.
“That is no place for a girl” he stated firmly.
“First of all, I am not just a dainty girl. I can handle it and if they are after me, I need to know” I said stubbornly.
“Whatever, you will stay in the room off to the side. There is a one-way mirror and it is sound proof. I will have someone stay with you, but if you interrupt my interrogation, I will have you punished”, Wyatt said venomly.
“Got it, let’s go!” I said and placed my hands on my hips.
As we walked to the dungeons, I could see everyone cleaning up the fight scene. They had a stack of bodies and I watched as they were lite on fire.
“Over 50 rogues. We haven’t had an attack this size in a long time. Why do you think they are after you?” Wyatt said, as he could read my mind.
“I am not stupid. I may not volunteer the information, but I don’t miss what happens around me. You keep saying how quiet it is here and how unusual this is and people are so interested in the bandits, so I can piece stuff together. I just don’t have anything to add or what to make of this.” I said, slightly defeated. I have been feeling like there was a target on my back, but I don’t know why.
Wyatt stopped all of a sudden and looked at me. “You sure you want to see this?”
“Yes, now go” I said, annoyed.
“Okay, don’t say I didn’t warn you” Wyatt said as he opened the door. It was hidden under a rose bush on the side of a random building. The building itself looked like it was abandoned. There are boards over the windows, broken glass scattered around and trash everywhere.
“Ass” I muttered under my breath, but I am sure he heard me as I heard him chuckle. We walked down a tunnel that was all dirt with wooden beams holding it up. Since we had such good night vision, no lights were needed. It was very cold and the smell of piss, body odor and blood covered every inch of the air.
“You will be in there. Remember the rules, Nina” Wyatt said firmly.
“Yeah, yeah. I heard you the first time”, I said as I opened the door. I swear I heard him say ‘the only fucking person’ before the door closed. I saw a guy standing in front of the glass.
“Hi! Name's Maverick”. He was decent looking but not much of my type. Do I even have a type? This place is fucking with my head.
“Nina” I said
“The girl with the green eyes” he said, chuckling.
“Green eyes?”
“Rumor was that when you killed the two rogues your eyes were shinning very brightly a deep green and….” He stopped saying whatever else he was going to say. I wasn’t sure how to respond. I didn’t realize my eyes were glowing. Is that part of the necklace and ring? I didn’t have time to analyze it because Wyatt walked into the room.
“Let’s get this party started then, shall we?” Wyatt said with a look on his face. I hope I never see again.
Looking at the rogues, they were ass naked and tied to metal chairs.
“The chairs are made of pure silver” Maverick said with a smirk.
“Ouch” I said, dragging the word out. “Can we not hear what they are saying?”
Maverick reached over and pressed a button on the wall and voices and screams filled the room. “I wasn’t sure if you could handle it” Maverick said smirking
“Fuck off”. I crossed my arms over my chest and moved closer to the glass.
“Wrong answer”, Wyatt said, and shoved a knife in the guy’s throat. You could hear him choke on his own blood before his head slumped over to the side. The other two guys had scared and nervous looks on their faces.
“Again, why did you attack us”, Wyatt said calmly before he cleaned off his knife and setting it down.
“We weren’t told just to get some girl for some prophesy”, Rogue 1 said.
“Dude, shut the fuck up!” Rouge 2 said.
“Fuck it, if I am going to die for the worthless piece of shit’s cause then I will take him down with me! He killed my sister and forced me to join his cause, so fuck him and fuck you!” We all just stare from one rogue to the other going back and forth. I can feel my pulse increase. A prophesy?
Luckily, Wyatt was thinking the same thing. “What prophesy?”
