Nova POV:
Standing outside Flos hospital room we sit in tense silence as we let the nurses do their work in peace.
“How did you know her wolf is dying?” Jax asks quietly worried to disturb my thoughts.
With a deep sigh I look up at him with pained eyes, “Ki and I have a family bond with Theo and Flo, when we rescued them and took them in we were all they had for a while. We took on the responsibility of their well-being and provided for them every day. She may not be my sister by blood but I consider them both family and have done ever since I met them. Ki told me as soon as had killed the rogues that attacked them.”
“Is there anything we can do?” Theo asks his voice trembling.
Hearing the worry he has for his twin I sit up straighter and with new found strength I speak, “yes there is. Being surrounded by family will help with her healing, as soon as the nurses are finished we need to go in there and keep her company. You too Jax, you are her Alpha and she will gather strength from you being there. It would have been best if Andrew was here as their mate bond would help but in the current situation I know that can’t be for now.”
“Do you think it’ll be enough?” Jax asks nervously.
“Honestly..? Yes I do but I don’t want to promise” I admit.
“I can help her” Kia suddenly links us.
“You can help Ki?” Jax asks in confusion.
“I don’t know how and I wish I could explain but I just can’t, I have this knowledge that if I’m there it will help her” Kia says leaving me wondering.
“But we’re not a healer?” I ask confused.
“No I don’t mean we can heal her, but I believe her wolf will benefit from me being there. It’s similar to having her Alpha there or when you used to accompany child births as the Luna, our strength can be used to help in her recovery. Remember how much it has increased in the last couple of days, we were strong before but now we are stronger…by far. It will be enough to strengthen her for transport back home where both her and Andrew can finish their recovery together” Kia assures us all.
“That makes sense” Jax says in admiration, “Ki you really are a blessing” he finishes making her purr with happiness in our heads.
At that moment the nurse walks out and with tired eyes she offers a small smile, “she’s stable. Her wounds aren’t healing as quickly as we like as her wolf is so weak. But we have given her something for the pain, I’d say she is incredibly lucky right now. All the wounds she had were from silver weapons and she has been heavily injected with a combination of drugs, a mixture of a sedative and a paralyser.”
Hearing that Theo gasps as he surges to his feet, “will she be ok?”
“Time will tell, her wolf is incredibly weak after this ordeal. If she wasn’t a Gamma and a strong one at that, I doubt she would have made the journey back with the amount of blood she lost” the nurse admits.
“Can we see her?” I ask whilst standing and moving to comfort Theo.
“Yes of course, she is asleep and will need more pain medicine in a couple of hours” she informs us whilst holding the door open for us to file inside.
“Oh Flo” Theo cries as he rushes to her bedside and grasps her hand holding it to his chest. Swallowing the rising feeling of guilt as I see her pale frame lying on the bed I walk to her other side and drop a light kiss on his forehead.
“My gorgeous Flo, you are strong” I whisper in her ear.
Turning to look at Jax i motion with my head for him to move close, “I think it’s best if we all keep hold of her for the time being, she may not be conscious but that’s best for her to recover.”
