“We will be taking samples every hour until your wolf reappears and we will send up some food. I’m sure your body could do with more than the
nutrients we are giving you through your IV. When you are ready we will also send up a hairdresser to fix the butcher’s job they did on those beautiful
blonde locks.” Doc Ganon says with a smile that is so like Sierra’s knowing look.
I give asmall smile back. The muscles in my face are still sore, but I’m not sure if it’s from the beating or lack of use. I completely forgot about Kaley
cutting off my hair. I can only imagine what I look like right now. It’s going to be strange to not have my waist length hair.
I reach up and run my hands through the jagged locks and I want to cry, but I won’t. Even if she can’t see me, I won’t give Kaley the satisfaction of
having me cry over my looks. That is something she believes makes you important, and I couldn’t agree less. My hair will grow back, this is not a big
thing.
Deep breath, I made it to the Royal Pack and Elite Warrior training. I look over to Warrior Osiston while Doc Sylvia and Doc Ganon do their thing.
“So back to my questions, when can I get out of here and get back to school and start training?” I’m not beating around the bush any more. He said I
can train and finish school at the same time, so that is exactly what I am going to do. I need to focus on moving forward with my life, not dwell on pas
things I can’t change.
“As soon as the docs clear you to leave the hospital, which I assume will involve you connecting with your wolf again, we will move you to a room on
the training property. Will you ever tell me the whole truth about your enemy?”
“Probably not. It’s not worth talking about her over and over and over again. I didn’t choose to be her target at first, but I also wasn’t going to stand by
and let her beat on younger kids just because it made her feel better. I chose my place between her and them.
She will get her karma eventually and I hope I am around to see it, but other than that, she’s not worth the mental space. Can you tell me more about
what I can expect out of Elite training?” : We went on like that for a really long time. Doc Ganon chuckled at my more bold questions and Doc Sylvia
patted my arm when they had to ask about more personal things surrounding my injuries. My food came and it was actually really delicious. I was
given a burger, fruit, veggies, chips, three different flavors of water and then my choice of dessert. Definitely not what I expected hospital food to be
like. My throat was a little sore, but 1 wasn’t going to let that get in the way of a full meal.
Warrior Osiston left me for an hour so I could get up and shower off the two weeks of grime that had developed on my body. I’ve never enjoyed
showering as much as ! did then. ] kept trying to communicate with my wolf. I wanted to talk to her so badly and see if she remembered anything fron
my attack. but I also really wanted to talk to her so we could get out of this hospital and get on with our lives. We are finally free and I can’t help but
think that the sooner I get started the better my life will be.
The docs were not kidding when they said they were going to come take samples every hour until I got my wolf back It actually became kind of a fun
game to see if I could predict when they would come into my room. Doc Sylvia always had some little anecdote about Sierra when she was little, and
Doc Gannon was always very professional and a little uptight, but not in a bad way, just like his sense of humor was something only another scientist
would understand.
Over the next few days we followed the same routine.
I did get to learn about their adventure, as they called it, which is the reason they sent Sierra to my pack.
They were overseas looking into a rare herb that they thought was included in a poison that was given to and wiped out a pack not far from here. The
herb they studied ended up not being what they thought it was but they discovered more Alchemy with a coven of witches that they met over there.
They decided to extend their trip which is why Sierra was able to stay the whole year with me and had been planning to stay part of the summer. The:
would have stayed but the Alpha King called them back on an emergency case. I assume that was me. Which made me feel bad, it sounds like they
were on the verge of learning and discovering something new and he brought them back to tend to my battle wounds.
