They made it back to the house within an hour, Kelly stopped every 10 minutes to check the omega’s pulse. Sebestian had never seen her looking so worried before, he was sure that the wolf was closer to death than she was saying aloud.
They entered through the back patio and through the double doors to the living room and carefully put the cage down by the fireplace.
“I’ll make a fire, see if we can’t make it any warmer for him,” Sebestian suggested. He wanted to do anything he could at this point to try and feel useful, and he didn’t have a clue on how to help Kelly with his medical needs.
“That’s perfect Sebestian, thank you,” she stated calmly. “Seth, can you go get the other medical bag from the office. It has more supplies in it that I need.”
“Of course, I’ll be right back," Seth announced as he was already halfway out the door heading towards their apartment across the street.
Sebestian stacked the logs as high as they could go in the fire, he couldn’t help himself but glance over to see what Kelly was doing to try and help treat the poor wolf’s injuries.
She was shaving off the fur around the more serious wounds and cleaning them as best she could. The wolf whimpered softly as she touched the more aggravated areas.
“Well, it looks like the IV fluid is helping, he is at least responding to pain at the moment,” Kelly shrugged.
“What do you think happened to him?” Rose asked from her spot on the couch. Many of the wolves had stayed behind to see if he was going to make it through, they were all camped out on various spots in the living room.
Sebestian had instructed Pink to settle Rufus into one of the guest rooms and get him clothes and shower and to watch over him closely. Sebestian was still very unsure of the beta wolf he had allowed to live.
Sebestian wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that ignorance was the reason for everything he was saying back at the feral camp, but it didn’t mean that he had to trust him yet.
“There are puncture wounds throughout his whole coat, looks as if it was made by some kind of prod or sharp stick… it um…” Kelly tried as best she could to explain.
“I dare to say that the object was potentially pushed through the holes of the cage and inflicted while the omega was trapped in its confines.”
“Oh my god, that’s so awful, I wish I didn’t ask,” Rose said with tears in her eyes.
“And on top of that he was definitely starved, his coat is dry and falling out all over the place, his gums are white and I can feel every bone through his skin… I… I just wish…” Kelly mumbled as she started to cry.
Sebestian stood immediately and walked over to his dear friend and embraced her in a hug. “You are doing everything that you can for him, he is in a better place now and he is lucky to have you watching out for him.”
“Thank you, alpha. I just…I wish we would have intervened sooner. I know there was no way to know that this was happening to someone but I just wish we could have done more,” she explained through her sniffles.
Seth came back in with the bag a few minutes later. Kelly frantically drew up multiple vials of medicine and began injecting them one by one into the wolf.
“What is all that?” Sam asked.
“Blood pressure stabilizers, antibiotics, vitamins, pain medicine… it’s going to take a while to stabilize him but he’s strong, I can already tell that he is fighting to survive.”
Sebestian let out a deep breath at that news. He wasn’t sure why but he was really hoping that the omega would recover. Sebestian wanted to show him what a pack could really be like, he felt the wolf deserved a family as good as his.
Rose POV:-The omega had been in their pack house for two days now and his scent was slowing morphing back to normal. At first, it was muddled with so much fear and anxiety that she couldn’t get a good read on it.The more the wolf healed, the more familiar the scent was becoming. It was a scent that made her stomach drop, she used to know it so well and was heartbroken when she learned she would never smell it again.“Rose… are you okay?” Sebestian asked with a deep frown. She knew she’d been more quiet than usual the past few days, but she was not ready to reveal her suspicions to anyone just yet.In one way, keeping the secret was like self-preservation. Bring up old memories would be painful and if she was wrong, it would be even more painful that she ever had hop
~~~~~~~Back to Sebestian POVEveryone in the room stilled as the omega began to stir. Sebestian tried his best to calm himself after he realised he was allowing his anger to get the best of him.The beautiful eyes of an omega was the first thing Sebestian noticed. Although he unfortunately, had only a second to appreciate them before all hell broke loose.The wolf jolted up and pushed himself against the back of the cage as he barred his teeth and growled at the room full of wolves. He was clearly terrified at his new surrounds as fear radiated strongly from him.He attempted to sprint from the cage, but was deterred from Kelly quick reflexes as she slams it shut. "I am so sorry...it's just...it's just that you are going to hurt yourself more if you keep fighting. Please try and calm down, your stitches are going to come undone," she
Allen POV:-Allen wasn't sure where they were going, but he moved as quickly as he could up the stairs as the alpha had instructed.He still wasn't sure how things would be for him in this new pack, but he couldn't help but feel like the new alpha had freed him.Allen knew he was close to death when he was back at the feral camp, the longer he was kept without food the harder it was for him to keep his eyes open.He knew his current situation had to be at least a little better than the constant pain and torture he suffered under his old alpha and he was going to do his best to be a good and obedient pack mate.In the feral pack, he was always known to be the problem child, he had fought so hard in the beginning to keep his identity that the feral alpha never trusted him.It had taken months for Allen to finally flip the switch inside of him that led him to be
Sebestian had been tossing and turning in bed for what seemed like hours, it had been quite the week for him and his pack. He tried his best to clear his mind but he simply couldn't stop thinking about Allen.He knew the omega was lost in his own mind. The boy had no doubt made a cage of his own around his feelings and memories as a tool for survival. Sebestian knew he wanted to be a part of bringing those parts of Allen back to the surface.He slid out of bed groaning and headed towards the bathroom to relieve himself, as soon as he was standing, he recognized a familiar smell filling up his nostrils. It was the smell of blood.His body temperature began to rise within the second, his eyes changed over to that familiar red that made all of his senses go into overload. The smell was coming from inside the house.He ran out into the hall to investigate the scent. His worry grew when he realized it was
Rose blood was boiling in anger, it took all of her strength to control herself so that she could be there for her brother. All she could think about was tearing into that beta's flesh with everything she had.Ray and Sam had taken Rufus outside, he was still being restrained by the two of them as he knelt in the center of the patio.She raced forward and swept her claws across his face as hard as she could. "How dare you! You manipulated your way into our house and then attack your own pack members."Blood ran from the beta's mouth, "He's nothing but an omega. What does it matter to you how he is treated," he growled back at her.Rose could never understand his way of thinking. She knew it was likely all he knew, but it was hard to have sympathy for someone who was so dangerous towards others.Sebestian moved forward half-transformed, his eyes were glowing red, his fangs were sh
Sebestian sat in the large chair in the corner of the living room silently awaiting the arrival of Jia and Jones James. He hadn't slept much the night before as he contemplated the best way of going about this meeting.He knew he needed to keep his emotions in check, it wouldn't be good for anyone to have two alphas brawling throughout the house. He had also come to the conclusion that it was best to keep Allen away from it all. The boy had been making some progress in the last few days and Sebestian didn't want anything screwing that up.The pack had spent the whole day together yesterday just lounging around the house. Sebestian smiled when he thought back to the omega sitting wearily on the couch next to May as they watched movies.He would lean over and speak to her at his leisure, it was often in a whisper but Sebestian hearing would always grant him the ability to know the content of the
Flashback:The heat of the sun was beating on Allen face as he sat on the porch. He was eagerly awaiting the return of his siblings to come home from visiting their cousin's for the last week. The three of them had never been separated before, and he didn't think it'd be this hard without them."Sweetheart," Jia called with a chuckle. "They won't be here for another two days.""I know... I just... I thought that maybe they'd come back early," he mumbled.Jia kneeled down beside him, "Hey... why don't you come inside and help me with dinner? Maybe we can make something special for dessert."He looked up at his mother and smiled as he stood to follow her inside.Allen missed his siblings so much. Things felt different now, the need to be with his whole family was stronger than it ever was. All he wanted to do was keep them safe and f
The evening after Jones and Jia left was emotionally draining for everyone. There were many tears and Sebestian was almost sure that Rose and Jace hadn't left Allen side at all, as if they were scared he was going to vanish from existence.Allen demeanor had changed significantly, he still didn't look completely healed, but it was a vast improvement from the trembling omega he had been.He no longer looked as if he was frightened of his own shadowed. He sat on the couch with his siblings on either side of him rubbing small circles in either of their hands.Sebestian really didn't want to break up the moment, but he also needed answers to some things that he never got the chance to ask Allen in the fragile state he had been in. In fact, Sebestian was still nervous to bring up old memories but he knew he needed too for the safety of his pack.He cleared his throat to get everyone's attention, "I'm sorr
