"Sally?" I squinted my eyes when I saw Sally, Beatrix's best friend coming out from the washroom. Running after her, I tapped her shoulder.
"Yes?" she asked, looking at me.
"Erm hi. I just wanted to ask where Beatrix is."
"Hmmm, why do you ask?" She questioned me again and pushed her big spectacles up.
"Oh, our history teacher kept asking for her. I just wanted to know whether she's just skipping History or is she not in school?"
Sally sighed. "Didn't you hear about Beatrix getting injured last week? She's badly hurt and still under the pack doctor's care. The Alpha suspects the rogue and they are now planning strategy for war."
"She's badly hurt?" I pretend to be shock.
"Yes. I pity her a lot. It was only a scratch on her arm but she's so weak right now. The doctor suspects that the rogue had gotten some venom into Beatrix's veins, causing her to be weak. I visited her yesterday and she was so pale, it makes me sad."
"Oh, okay. Hmm, thank you Sally. I'll see if I have the time to visit her at the pack house today," I said, waving off the conversation and walked to the opposite direction.

Right after school ended, I informed Valerie that I had to be somewhere and changed into my wolf form and rushed to the pack house. I needed to see Beatrix so badly. I wanted to know how hurt she was. I didn't expect the scratch to have caused her to be like this. I wanted her to know how sorry I was.
Without changing back to human form, I quickly went to search for the window to the pack's clinic. I had to peek at all of the windows that I encountered and Beatrix's scent actually helped a lot. I stopped just right outside the window to see Beatrix lying down on the high single bed.
And, she wasn't alone. There was this guy next to her and I of course recognized him. The Alpha. The Morning Shadow Pack's Alpha. Why was he so close to Beatrix? I had a fistful of mud in my paws as I watched him helped Beatrix sat up and then fed her a bowl of porridge that was on the nightstand.
