Chapter 166

“We will be taking samples every hour until your wolf reappears and we will send up some food. I’m
sure your body could do with more than the nutrients we are giving you through your IV. When you
are ready we will also send up a hairdresser to fix the butcher’s job they did on those beautiful
blonde locks.” Doc Ganon says with a smile that is so like Sierra’s knowing look.
I give asmall smile back. The muscles in my face are still sore, but I’m not sure if it’s from the
beating or lack of use. I completely forgot about Kaley cutting off my hair. I can only imagine what I
look like right now. It’s going to be strange to not have my waist length hair.
I reach up and run my hands through the jagged locks and I want to cry, but I won’t. Even if she
can’t see me, I won’t give Kaley the satisfaction of having me cry over my looks. That is something
she believes makes you important, and I couldn’t agree less. My hair will grow back, this is not a big
thing.
Deep breath, I made it to the Royal Pack and Elite Warrior training. I look over to Warrior Osiston
while Doc Sylvia and Doc Ganon do their thing.
“So back to my questions, when can I get out of here and get back to school and start training?” I’m
not beating around the bush any more. He said I can train and finish school at the same time, so
that is exactly what I am going to do. I need to focus on moving forward with my life, not dwell on
past things I can’t change.
“As soon as the docs clear you to leave the hospital, which I assume will involve you connecting
with your wolf again, we will move you to a room on the training property. Will you ever tell me the
whole truth about your enemy?”
“Probably not. It’s not worth talking about her over and over and over again. I didn’t choose to be
her target at first, but I also wasn’t going to stand by and let her beat on younger kids just because it
made her feel better. I chose my place between her and them.
She will get her karma eventually and I hope I am around to see it, but other than that, she’s not
worth the mental space. Can you tell me more about what I can expect out of Elite training?” : We
went on like that for a really long time. Doc Ganon chuckled at my more bold questions and Doc
Sylvia patted my arm when they had to ask about more personal things surrounding my injuries. My
food came and it was actually really delicious. I was given a burger, fruit, veggies, chips, three
different flavors of water and then my choice of dessert. Definitely not what I expected hospital food
to be like. My throat was a little sore, but 1 wasn’t going to let that get in the way of a full meal.
Warrior Osiston left me for an hour so I could get up and shower off the two weeks of grime that had
developed on my body. I’ve never enjoyed showering as much as ! did then. ] kept trying to
communicate with my wolf. I wanted to talk to her so badly and see if she remembered anything
from my attack. but I also really wanted to talk to her so we could get out of this hospital and get on
with our lives. We are finally free and I can’t help but think that the sooner I get started the better my
life will be.
The docs were not kidding when they said they were going to come take samples every hour until I
got my wolf back It actually became kind of a fun game to see if I could predict when they would
come into my room. Doc Sylvia always had some little anecdote about Sierra when she was little,
and Doc Gannon was always very professional and a little uptight, but not in a bad way, just like his
sense of humor was something only another scientist would understand.
Over the next few days we followed the same routine.
I did get to learn about their adventure, as they called it, which is the reason they sent Sierra to my
pack.
They were overseas looking into a rare herb that they thought was included in a poison that was
given to and wiped out a pack not far from here. The herb they studied ended up not being what
they thought it was but they discovered more Alchemy with a coven of witches that they met over
there. They decided to extend their trip which is why Sierra was able to stay the whole year with me
and had been planning to stay part of the summer. They would have stayed but the Alpha King
called them back on an emergency case. I assume that was me. Which made me feel bad, it
sounds like they were on the verge of learning and discovering something new and he brought them
back to tend to my battle wounds.
