Feral SheWolf

7. Painful memories

Both of them were looking at me with a mixture of admiration and shock. And guessing from that, my newly found ability wasn't common for their, I mean our kind.

"Jade, I know you don't feel like it, but you need to tell me what they did to you… there can be more things that are threatening your health."

I narrowed my eyes at her and then averted my angry look towards that Blake guy. Yeah, he seems nice, but he's a man, and they are all alike.

Guy was smarter than I thought cause he apparently understood I wasn't comfortable with him around.

" Alpha Jade, I would give my own life for this Pack and you, but I see your discomfort. Call for me if I could be of any further help." - he bowed again and left. I must admit his respectful attitude made Iri pleased. She felt important for once.

'I like him.' - she admits.

'Absolutely not! He's a man, we can't trust him.' - I hissed right back.

'I think we actually can. He's our second in command, bond has started forming already.'

'Our second to what?! And what bond?' - I asked confused. All if this was just too much for my drugged mind to process.

'You'll find out soon enough.' - and she disappeared again. I hate it when she does that!

Connie cleared her throat, gaining once again my attention.

"What did Iri say?" - Doc asked.

"How did you…"

"Eyes, remember?" - she reminded me with a slight chuckle. Her smile faded soon and she was once again serious. - "So, are you ready to talk?"

"Doc, you are all very nice, but I really don't want to relive it ever again."

"I understood, but your life might still be endangered. Not everything can be read from blood samples… Please Jade… I can assure you that nothing you tell me would ever leave this room."

She was very persuasive and I did feel safe with her, but that was too much. I don't want to be as vulnerable as I was back there, and I am certain that I can't speak about it without breaking into million pieces.

" Please don't make me…" - I plead with my voice already cracking and knot forming in my throat.

He sighed deeply seeing me like this.

"You have no idea how strong our kind is, and I'm not talking about our brute force we owe to our inner wolves. We are fierce and we never back down from any fight. I've known your family for many years now, and I know that your father and Luc would never hide from any battle. They alway fought till the end. And I believe that you are just as strong."

"Luc?" - That name caught my attention.

"Lucas - your brother. He was a fine young man. You would have liked him."

Ever since my father told me I had a brother I kept on wondering who he was. Did I have big shoes to fill in? I must admit that Connor didn't have any luck in his life. One child died and the other is mentally unstable. Just perfect!

I nodded preparing myself for the worst story of my life.

"Ever since I was confined to the hospital, the doctors tried to choose the right dose of drugs without any luck, as you yourself probably noticed, whatever they gave me very quickly stopped working and Iri tried to get us out of there. Whenever it was possible she was trying to take over and run, not minding the costs." - I paused and took a few deep breaths trying to calm myself down -" Once when they were trying to tame me during one of our attempts, one of the nurses pushed me so hard that I dropped my head on the edge of the bed causing extensive bleeding. I was hoping that it would finally be the end, that they had killed me and that I would eventually bleed out and this nightmare would end." - I couldn't stop the tears from escaping my eyes at this point, but I tried to at least wipe them and be strong, cause this story was far from over.

"But my hopes were deceptive and unfortunately I didn't die that evening, instead the doctors noticed how quickly my wounds healed and how quickly I recovered despite losing a lot of blood." - Connie must've understood where I was heading to, cause she placed her hand on her lips and started shaking her head.

" Yes, you're assuming right. That's when they started experiments. They weren't that bad at first. They made small incisions on different parts of my body and timed it healing. But with the passage of time they were more and more curious and the cuts were bigger, deeper and more painful." - I closed my eyes, not wanting to see her expression when she hears the next part.

" Then hell began. They started breaking my ribs and limbs, also saying it was for research purposes. The attending physician allowed nurses to do everything with me, as long as the nurses meticulously recorded how my body was doing. And let's not forget that during everything they were testing multiple different drugs on me, everyday I received something different and I really have no idea what they gave me." - now my Doctor was also crying, I felt bad for upsetting her, but she brought it all on herself.

" It all suddenly stopped about three weeks ago. Just like that, and I don't know why."

" That's when we have found you." - Connie admitted with a raspy voice.

"So why am I here for only two days if you have found me so long ago?" - I asked, defensively folding my arms.

"Hospital didn't want to let you go. They requested paternity tests from Alpha and apparently made the whole process so much more difficult."

I knew exactly who was behind this. f*****g Summers!

"Jade, I'm so grateful that you've shared all of this with me. Would you allow me to run some tests like CT, MRI and ultrasound to make sure that all your wounds healed properly?" - she asked in her gentle tone.

"Would it hurt?" - was the first question that came into my mind.

"No. I promise that nothing I do would ever bring you any harm or pain."

I nodded.

"Ok, I believe you." - and somehow for the first time since my mother died I could say that truthfully about someone.

'I trust her too.' - admitted Iri.

'Don't you want to kill her anymore?'

'No, not right now.' - it was strange that she was warming up to all of this so quickly.

'So you want to stay here?' - I asked her with disbelief.

'Let's see how will it go.'
