(Author’s POV)
"The patient’s condition is not steady yet. Didn’t the nurse tell you to not put her under any kind of stress?" Steven reprimanded both Greg and Noah sternly. He was well aware of those two. After all, he was Greg’s maternal uncle. And also he was the one who had seen potential in Noah and had urged him to take up dicine as his major.
Steven was thoroughly disappointed in his nephew as well as Noah. He has taught them not to put patient’s life in danger, under no circumstances. He shifted his focus from them and turned to face Sara, whose face was filled with nervousness and anxiety. Though, his words were respectful because of Sara’s status, they were filled with condemn and sternness as well, "Ms. Sara Allen, this kind of thing should not happen again. The patient’s situation is sensitive due to trauma and head injury. She cannot take any physical or ntal pressure for the ti being. It can be dangerous for her life."
Sara nodded while her eyes were rimd red, she sniffled. Steven continued, his voice was filled with determination, "For now, we have given her sedatives because she needs proper rest without any strain to her mind. So, I am revoking any kind of visitation until the patient’s condition is stable enough."
Sara pressed her lips but agreed anyway. She knew the doctor was only doing his duty and Bella’s health was their number one priority.
Steven then commanded, "Greg Andrew, follow ." Greg, with his head lowered; followed behind his uncle and they went straight to Steven’s office.
Steven sat on his chair with authority while Greg was left standing ekly before him.
"Greg Andrew, care to explain what exactly happen to you and Blue Mountain Alpha’s daughter? Do not hide even a single detail from , otherwise~" Steven asked, his tone was filled with dissatisfaction and threat. Steven has been busy attending several patients and now that he was on a break, he asked what the matter was.
Greg pleaded, "Uncle Steve, please don’t tell mom about tonight’s incident. She will be worried."
Steven gave him a no nonsense look, "So, you do know that my sister will be worried, huhh. Speak."
Greg narrated the whole incident from the start, "Actually, Bella Allen is my girlfriend, though not officially." He muttered under his breath
"What are you rambling, speak properly." Steven shouted and loosened his collar in irritation.
Greg took a deep breath and started, "I, Bella, Noah and Bella’s sister Sara were having dinner at Bella’s family hotel. Things went on fine and I and Bella ended up in a ..... ummm ... in a hotel room. We were showering when Alpha Keith’s son, Caiten Snow, ca dashing towards and started beating relentlessly. I am sorry Uncle; I was no match for him. Sorry for letting you down." He was ashad to get beaten up so badly.
Steven didn’t cut him off and kept listening, with a straight face.
Greg continued telling him, "I don’t know what took over him. Out of nowhere, he rushed inside the bathroom and punched . He was in his half wolf form and kept nailing his claws ruthlessly at my back and chest. Bella got scared. She was worried for my life and tried to fight him off but he threw her ruthlessly. Her head hit the door’s handle and this happened."
Steven creased his brows, "Why will Alpha Keith’s son attack you? Did you two have any history? Did you upset him sohow?"
"No, of course not. I t him for the first ti this evening. He is Sara and Bella’s childhood friend. He even joined us for dinner, though it was for a brief mont. What’s odd is that, he claims that he was drugged and under the influence, but seriously, I doubt that. He didn’t seem to be under any drug effect at that ti. And there was no scent of blood coming from him. Uncle Steve, he said that his injury happened before the incident but that is the most absurd part. If he was wounded at that ti, I would have known from the scent of his blood. I am sure he did it deliberately," Greg told his doubts to Steven. "Can’t we run so tests to confirm whether he is telling the truth or not?"
But Steven firmly shut down his request, "Greg, I cannot do that, even if I want to. You know how Alpha Lucius is. If he gets wind of sothing like this, he will have your head as well as mine."
Greg clenched his lips tightly, feeling frustrated. "But he is lying. Because of him, Bella’s life was in danger. If we don’t do sothing, he may still do sothing to or to her. From what I perceived, he didn’t like Bella much."
"Maybe he is lying or maybe he is not. But Caiten Snow is Alpha Keith’s son and soon to be Alpha of the Half Shade Lunar Pack. You cannot confront him without concrete evidence. Even if we run those tests, he can still deny and accuse us instead." Steven worded helplessly.
"I can help you with only one thing." Steven suggested as he lowered his voice to a re whisper.
Greg eyes glinted as his ears perked up, "What thing?"
Steven didn’t say anything. He simply scribbled down few words and slid the note towards Greg. The latter read it and grinned "This would be a huge help."
"But mind you, you need to be on alert, okay. If sothing wrong occurs and Alpha Nathan daughter’s life is put in danger~" Steven’s tone was filled with warning.
"It won’t happen Uncle. I will make sure of that." Greg assured Steven. The latter nodded with a stern face.
Outside the Intensive Care Unit, Caiten returned by Sara’s side and asked with a concerned voice, "Is Bella’s condition stable now?"
Sara, who was sniffling earlier stopped and answered him, "She is sleeping now."
Caiten apologized to her, his words ek and humble, "Ras, I am sorry. I didn’t know that Bella would have such a reaction after seeing . I was being thoughtless."
Sara didn’t deny, after all he did behave thoughtlessly. She raised her head slightly to et his eyes, "Caiten, for the ti being, you should avoid visiting Bella." Her tone was gently but firm.
Caiten readily nodded in agreent, "I understand. Bella already doesn’t like very much and what happened after tonight, she will hate even more. I know why she feels this way about . If I was in her place, I would have reacted the sa way." He choked as his tone was injected with remorse.
Sara was glad that he understood her concern then she further added, "Caiten, why don’t you go and take a rest. You are injured as well."
Caiten imdiately declined, his voice a bit shrilled, "NO, I am fine now .... Uhhhhh .... What I an is that, my wound is almost healed. Also I can’t leave you here on your own."
Noah ca forward and said, "She is not alone. I and Greg, both are here. We will take care of her. Sara is right, you should go and rest. It has been a long night for you as well."
Caiten’s eyes flinched but he managed to keep his composure. He smiled at Noah and uttered, "It is not right. My father and Alpha Nathan has entrusted Sara to . I can’t defy their orders."
Noah couldn’t say anything but Sara did, "I will talk to Alpha Keith and Dad. They will understand." She stated sternly.
Caiten was left with no choice whatsoever. His shoulders slumped as he agreed, "Ohhh-kay, if you say so. I will go." He turned around and walked slowly. But Sara didn’t stop him this ti.
As soon as he was out of the hospital building, his ek and dejected deanor turned ugly. He didn’t go to the parking area; instead he turned to the opposite side, where the dense forest was.
"Jaden, co to the abandoned forest of Moon Shine Pack and bring a concealing potion." He mind linked his subordinate as he kept on walking deep inside the forest.
"Yes, master" Jaden imdiately replied.
Tensen was grumbling inside his head, "Sara is taking his side over us. We have been quiet lenient with her. That’s why she keeps on making the wrong decision."
"Not for long. After tonight, when our plan succeeds, she will have no choice other than . She will rely on and only . And that leech nad Noah, he is going to be in deep, deep shit." Caiten grinned maliciously.
Jaden arrived at the other side of the Moon Shine Pack, where the abandoned forest was. She mind linked Caiten, "Master, I am here with the thing you told to bring."
Caiten sniffed the air and traced his scent by his Alpha abilities. As soon as he saw Jaden, he extended his hand and the latter gave him the potion, "Here, master."
With the concealing potion in his hands, Caiten’s smile turned sinister, "Bella Allen, tonight is the last night for you."
