The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 228

~Devin~

We moved through the woods very fast. The trackers helped find shouter routes, and I hoped we would be in Mountain on time. The fact that Susan was unconscious was a big issue for me. I could not get over the fact they had hit her with silver, and she had been on the floor for a while.

I prayed that the goddess would keep her alive.

I howled to plead with them to hurry, and they continued moving.

They got to a spot, and then Casper made them stop.

Casper shifted, and I growled at him, but it seemed like he wanted to speak to me. We did not belong to the same pack, so linking each other was impossible. This was the best way he could communicate with me. Rex started growling at him because we believed he was wasting time that Susan did not have.

"Let's take her to Hill Valley. It is thirty minutes away. Let her get some help there, and then we can move to Mountain, pending her health. Mountain is two hours away. I did not think she would make it," He explained, and I howled in agreement.

It was a brilliant idea. I did not know why it did not cross my mind. Casper shifted back, and we took a detour to Hill valley.

The Alpha of Hill Valley was in Mountain, but I was hopeful that Luna Alia would help us.

We got there and were surrounded by warriors. Max had fewer warriors when it was his time. Alexei pulled a crowd.

Casper shifted and advanced confidently.

Being Leo's Beta, he was the second most powerful man in the east. It had to count for something because they stepped back and respectfully bowed. I am sure they did not know it was me.

"Alpha Corrigan's Luna needs medical assistance now," Casper ordered, and they created a path for us just as they should after finding out the people they were dealing with.

Casper remained in human form, and we moved while two men led us to a newly built hospital. It wasn't very big, but it was better than what they had before.

Alexei was doing an excelent Job. I felt terrible because Max was my friend. This whole ordeal had not let me say hello to him in Mountain. I hope Susan makes it so I can be in the frame of mind to socialise when I return to Mountain.

Susan was carried from my back, and I shifted to my human form. People immediately greeted me with respect, but my mind was a mess.

They brought us shorts to wear, and I entered the hospital.

Susan was taken to a room with physicians, and I watched from the wide glad window while they attended to her.

It was heart-wrenching, but I had to be strong. The fear that overcame me wasn't going away. The only thing that kept me on my feet looking brave was hope, and I clung to it with all my might.

"Alpha Corrigan," I heard a female voice say, and I turned to see Alexei's wife, Alia. She was pregnant.

"Luna Alia," I said, and she nodded her head.

"I heard you came with a wounded woman," She said, and I nodded.

"She is my Luna. She was shot with silver arrows in Brent," I said quickly, and she looked like the news had saddened her. She also looked surprised, but it was expected.

"Sorry to hear, Alpha. I hope our physicians can help her. Would you like something to eat while you wait?" she asked, and I shook my head.

My stomach was empty, but I could not think of food at a time like this. I was too worried to keep anything down.

"No, thank you, but Beta Casper and his men would appreciate the hospitality," I said quickly, knowing they had not eaten.

She bowed her head and excused me.

I stood by the glass and stared at Susan.

I did not need anyone to tell me that the doctors were struggling.

I began to pray.
