***Jaxson*** Pacing back across the hall for the millionth time, My wolf was restless as well, pacing back and forth in my head, What was taking so long? Why hasn't anyone come out yet? "Jax, you are going to wear a hole in the floor if you keep pacing like that," I shoot him a look, Holding his hands up. "Just saying, man, " Throwing my hands up, "What is taking so long," Leaning my back against the wall, dropping my head. Images of how we found her flashed in my head. My wolf growled at them, "Someone will be out soon. I know it sucks having to wait, but she was in bad shape, Im sure they will come out as soon as they are finished with her," "Where is that shithead boy?" "Nigel took him to the cells," "Good, he stays there till im ready to deal with him," "You do realize his Alpha will be knocking on our door when he finds out who took him," Shrugging my shoulders, "Let him. I do not need to see around his pack to know how he runs it; that boy will do no better." He nodded, "Im glad that Nigel didnt leave that Tanner boy. He didnt look in much better shape," The door opened as a nurse came rushing out, pushing off the wall, "How is she?" She stopped, "Im sorry, Alpha, the doctors are still working on her. Her leg was severely damaged. They are working to repair it, Im just getting some medicine for them," Nodding at her, she bowed quickly, then hurried down the hall, "Jax, why dont you go get cleaned up? You still have blood all over your shirt and hands," Looking down, I hold my hands out, seeing the dried blood, "I'll wait. If there is any news, I'll link you right away," Shaking my head. "I will have someone bring me a change of clothes," He let out a sigh, "Let me link Harley. Im sure she will bring you some clothes," Giving him a nod, "Thanks." I watched as the same nurse came down the hall and then slipped into the room, "Jax, come on, let us go to the waiting area. There is nothing we can do hanging in the hallway. Harley will be here in a few minutes with your clothes," "Alright," I gave a longing look at the closed door, "Let's go," I turned, walking down the hall, Reaching the waiting room, I plopped down in the tiny chair, Placing my head in my hands, I was not sure how long I sat there like that, "Jax," I saw Harley standing there, clothes folded in her arms. She extended her hand, holding them out to me, Standing up, taking them from her, "Thanks, Harley," She smiled at me, She walked over to Wayne, sitting in the chair beside him. I went over to the desk. A young man was sitting behind it, "Alpha," He stood quickly, "Can I help you with anything?" "I need a room so I can clean up and change," "Sure, follow me. You can use our locker room. It is better than one of the hospital rooms," He led me down the hall to a door marked staff only, Pushing it open. "Over here is the men's locker room. No one is in here at this time. You can lock the door if you wish to. Im sure you wouldn't want anyone walking in on you," "This is fine, Thanks," "You are welcome, Alpha. If you need anything else, let me know," Nodding at him as he bowed, turned, and walked out the door, I clicked the lock. I wasnt about to have someone walk in, Not that we are shy about being naked in front of one another. I mean, we are shooters. After all, Striping out of my clothes, I turned the water on, stepped in, washed off the dirt, and dried blood. Once done, I dried and dressed quickly, I felt someone trying to link me just as I unlocked the door. Opening the link, "Jax, The doctors came out, She is waiting for you," "Im coming," Rushing out of the room, I jogged to the waiting room. I saw the doctor standing there talking to Wayne, "How is she?" I asked when I stopped next to her, "Alpha," she bowed. "She is resting now, but she has had significant damage to her body, not only her leg but also her back. I have found old injuries and new ones that may be a week old at that. This girl has been abused. She is underweight, and her wolf is very weak," "Will she heal?" Harley asked, "I do believe so. It may take some time, but she should make a full recovery," "How bad was her leg? Will she be able to walk alright on it?" Her face fell just a little, "That im not so sure about. She will not lose it, but its damage was extensive, so I have repaired it to the best of my ability. She may have a slight limp when she is all healed. Some of the muscles were beyond repair. It will have to heal like it is," My chest tighten as i listen to her explain everything. I know one thing: they will not get away with it, "Can I see her?" "Sure, follow me, I had her moved to a better room," She took us down a different hall, and at the end of the hall, she stopped opening the door. Walking in, my heart dropped at the sight before me, "I have her in an induced coma; that way, her body can heal. I have a steady flow of fluids to her as well as pain medicine. Her wolf will heal her, but it will take time. As I said, she is weak," Walking over to the bed, I looked down. She had tubes hooked to her. Looking at all the machines around her bed, "I gave her a blood transfusion. She had lost a lot," "I gave give some," I reached out, touching her forehead, and sparks erupted on the tip of my finger, "That would be great, Alpha. Your blood will hold healing abilities better than others, and im assuming she is your mate so that it will help her in general," Nodding my head, I kept my eyes on her face, "Yes, she is," "Well, I know this is hard, but I would like to congratulate you, ALpha, on finding your mate," "Just keep it to yourself about her. I do not want anyone trying anything while she is in this state," "I promise, I will not speak a word. She is safe here, Alpha. She will get the care she needs," "How long will she be in a coma?" "At least a few days. Her system went through trauma, and I want to make sure her body does not go into shock. This way, I can monitor her," "Thank you," I tell her, Taking her small, fragile hand in mine. It was tiny compared to mine, "It's no trouble, Alpha. I hope the ones who did this to her will pay. No one should ever be treated like this. Im not a violent person, but i hope they receive a punishment so harsh they do not live through it," I blink as I look over at her, "Do not worry, I will not let them get away with it, They will pay," "Good. Now, if you excuse me, I have rounds to make. I will stop back in before I leave for the night," "Thanks," "Beta Wayne, Beta Harley," She gave a bow as she turned and walked out, "Jax, what do you need from us?" Wayne and Harley stood on the other side of the bed, "Im going to stay here tonight. My presence may help her wolf. It's late; you guys go home. I will meet you in my office first thing in the morning. Harley, would you mind coming here and staying with her? I will come back once I get some work done. I do not want her unattended," "I certainly can, Jax. Do you want a guard at the door?' "Yes, but only one. I dont want to draw too much attention. Some in this pack can be nosy," "I will get someone right now," She walked out of the room, "Link me if you need anything, Jax," Wayne said as he started to walk to the door, Pulling a chair over next to her bed, I sat down, retaking her hand, rubbing my thumb across her knuckles, "They will pay. This I promise you,"
