When we arrived home, we were greeted with howls and yips of happiness from the pack. We found out quickly that more people had come to our borders seeking shelter. One group required Sirona’s medical attention due to their significant injuries. Not only had they run from their pack to avoid the persecution of an unjust Alpha,but they had been attacked by rogues.
Noah told us that she had them in a portion of the pack hospital that has been rebuilt. It wasn’t ideal, since the hospital was still under construction, but it gave her the ability to treat them and keep the family of four together.
Eli and I went to see the two other groups that had arrived, two adult sisters and a young boy and his sister. They had lost their parents after being banished and just happened to find us. Cammy and Summer made sure they had food and rooms in the packhouse.
“We need to build an children’s home.” Amber tells me. “They won’t be the only children that come to us without parents. We have the space to keep them on our floor for now, but eventually, we won’t have enough rooms.”
She’s right. Orphaned werewolf children are often mistreated in their packs or kicked out if they are considered to have no value to the pack. I will need to speak to Eli about rebuilding part of the packhouse as a place for the orphaned children. to live while we find them homes, or they are adopted.
Once I have checked on the ones staying in the packhouse, ensure that they have everything they need and reassure them that they are welcome, Eli and I head to the hospital.
When we arrive, we see that the parents are in bad shape. They must have been protecting their children, who are mostly unharmed, just some scrapes and bruises. Sirona has them all staying in one room to help keep the children calm. She has set up her own cot in the room next door to make herself available as needed.
“I have the students rotating to help me, but they need 24–hour care at the moment.” Sirona tells us before we go in. “I’m not sure if I can save the father’s leg. The laceration is deep, and he lost a lot of blood before they got here. His wolf is weak and hasn’t healed the leg yet. If he doesn’t in the next day or so, I’ll have to remove it.”
“The mother has nasty claw marks down her face. It’s likely she will lose an eye. Her wolf is also weak and unable to heal her. I’m doing what I can, but I can only

do so much.” She says before walking us into the room..
The children look up from where they are sitting next to their parents. “Children,I want you to meet Alpha Eli and Luna Grace.
The children look terrified.Sirona crouches down on her heels, getting at eye level with them. “Do you remember what I told you about the Alpha and Luna of this pack?”
They nod, looking from her to us and back again. I walk up and crouch down beside her. “What are your names?” I ask them.
“Alfred and Allie, Luna.” The boy, who is older than his sister, says.
“And how old are you, Alfred and Allie?” I ask.
“I’m seven and my sister is four.” Alfred says.
“We’re going to do everything we can to help your parents. You are welcome in our pack.” I assure them.
I stand and Eli and I move to the parents. The father is unconscious, but the mother is looking at us with her one eye open, terrified.
“Alpha. Luna. We didn’t mean…” Her words are muffled, and I can tell it’s hard for her to talk. I immediately put my hand on her arm, noticing her flinch.
“You and your family are welcome here. Our pack is made up of those that have fled other packs or are in need of a safe place. Our pack is named Safe Haven for that reason. Our doctor, Gamma Sirona, will look after you until you are well enough to leave the hospital. Once you are stronger, we will talk about you and your family staying here in our pack.”
Eli steps up to her. “Everything my mate says is the truth. Rest easy, let your wolf heal. Your children are safe here. I give you my word as an Alpha, even though I’m afraid you won’t trust it. No harm will come to you or your family while you are in our pack.”
