My voice cut through the chaos, laced with the resonance of a future Luna.
The healer working on the he–wolf instinctively looked up, his eyes falling on me, a young she–wolf in a hard hat, as I pushed my way through the press of pack members. Lyra, my wolf, was baring her teeth at the incompetence before us, her instincts screaming for order.
“Who are you? Don’t interfere with our rescue!” a young medic snapped, his ears pinning back in a territorial display.
I barely registered him, my gaze locked onto the wound where dark, oxygen–rich blood pulsed steadily. My detailed study of werewolf anatomy, undertaken for Grayson’s Blood–Core Replacement, was now flooding my mind.
Based on the amount of bleeding, it was either a major ruptured blood vessel or a lacerated spleen. In either case, for a werewolf whose healing factor was failing, the chance of survival was infinitesimally small–not just here on the construction site, but even if we rushed him to the Pack High Council’s best operating room right now.
The blood from those two wounds just wouldn’t stop gushing!
