Maureen POV
7 days of agonizing torture for Shelia and I to witness Wyatt and Brutus's transformation.
This transformation was something he wanted and it was something within my skill and power to grant him, although it almost tore out my heart to sit back and hear, view his pain.
I obviously would have never in a million years have thought Wyatt would be an elemental wolf after his change.
Talk about a jaw-dropping, unexpected revelation!
I'm in absolute awe of Wyatt and Brutus though! So mesmerizing!!
When Brutus "awoke" and revealed himself to us I was honestly at a loss.
I allowed Shelia to gain control so she could personally communicate with Brutus , who assured me Wyatt was safely resting. He just needed relaxation from the conversion.
I lost track of time while Shelia was getting to know Brutus.
Suddenly, there is vigorous knocking on the bedroom door. Yes, leave it to Shelia to take their getting to know each other time to the bedroom. Although it was kept strictly PG13 because she promised me no sex, mating until Wyatt was awake too. We just felt is would be wrong to perform such an intimate act without his awareness.
"Alpha! Alpha! We have a dire situation in the hospital. It involves a rogue who crashed with our territory! It's not the crash that is important but his condition!" Dr. Reagan is frantically shouting through the wooden door, not even waiting for it to open.
Shelia agrees to quickly relinquish control back to me so I can confront and handle the situation.
**I'll come out if needed and I see fit with this rogue. I don't want to ruin my joyful mood- and with that she retreats
I immediately make my way to the bedroom door and swing it open.
Dr. Reagan's face is pale yet focused and determined.
I know that something is truly wrong if it makes Dr. Reagan freak out.
"Alpha, I'm so sorry to disturb you, especially during this special, sensitive time. Yet, you are really needed right now in the emergency room. The injured male rogue that was unexpectedly brought in has also been poisoned with the same substance Wyatt was previously poisoned with!" she quickly rattles off while standing in my doorway.
I freeze.........for about a second!
Same poison as Wyatt??!!
A deep growl leaves my throat!!
Instantly, Brutus is beside me with his brilliant eyes brightly glowing, accessing the situation which has caused me to growl out in anger! He protectively places his arm around my waist, which helps to calm my vexation! His vivid eyes land on Dr. Reagan and he releases a low growl.
I take a deep breath, turn to him, place a hand on his cheek, and ask him, "Do you remember in Wyatt's memories when he was poisoned?"
His blazing eyes swiftly turn ferocious and gruffly replies," Yes, I do Maureen!"
Although his demeanour softens when he states, "Thank you Dr. for helping Wyatt. I saw you in his memories. You gave him excellent medical care."
"You're welcome Sir," she answers while showing her neck in respect and submission, which shows she is acknowledging his status.
I continue to talk to Brutus, "As you probably heard a rogue wolf has been brought into our pack ER. He has been poisoned with the same substance Wyatt was. I need to go pay him a visit, now!"
"Lets go, right now! We need to learn as much as we can from this guy!" Brutus firmly states, determination to gain as much information as possible.
"I would feel better if you stay here Brutus, to rest. Wyatt is still recovering," I plead, hoping he will remain in our apartment to relax.
Yep, no such luck though.
"I can't do that mate. I can't be away from you mate. Not when I know you are going to see someone who is connected to Wyatt being hurt! I'm going!" he fervently insist.
It's not that I don't want him with me. It's so that he and Wyatt can adequately can recuperate. I don't want him to overdue it before he is fully healed.
He turns my body so we are facing each other, face to face. He softly cups my face and assures me, "I know you are only looking out for us. You don't want us to overexert ourselves Maureen. We will be fine. I promise you. I will be with you mate!"
My heart melts with his determination and inner strength. Pride he is ours rushes throughout my being.
"Ok Brutus. I trust you. Lets get going," I whisper as I intentionally wrap my arms around his lean waist and place a soft kiss on his luscious lips.
HOSPITAL ER AREA: SECURE ROOM
We arrive to the ER and are briefed on the rogue's medical status; in addition, I'm handed a file containing detail regarding his car accident.
Basic Information
Tristan Carter 23yrs old 6'0" black hair, blue eyes
Type of vehicle involved in wreck: 2006 Toyota Camry, color: maroon
I gaze through the observation window inside the hospital door and stare at a sleeping young man, who is hooked up to various medical equipment and machines.
"What the hell happened to him to land him like this in our hospital?" I mutter out loud, half asking Dr. Reagan, half just to myself.
"He's out right now due to having a panic attack and ultimately passing out while he was speaking to Dr. Carson. It appears that when he found out he was poisoned it triggered the panic attack. He insisted on talking with you Alpha Maureen, right up until he blacked out from the panic attack. It seems he was purposely traveling onto our lands so he could speak with your when he passed out due to the poisoning, which resulted in him crashing his car," Dr. Reagan quickly informs us.
She pauses, takes a deep breath, and continues, "As I stated before, he has been poisoned with the same substance as Wyatt. If we had not previously encountered this specific poison through our ordeal with Wyatt I highly doubt Mr. Carter would have survived. It's not a poison from our realm. The antidote is just not something we would have had here on hand if not for our earlier situation. So........" she trails off.
"So that means, Mr. Carter here is involved with the very people trying to get to Wyatt and I or at the very least is involved with associates of these assholes," I simply state, finishing her train of thought.
"Yes Alpha," she respectfully replies.
"Well, this should be fun and illuminating, inform me the moment he wakes up. I will be in my office reviewing his file and reports," I instruct her while walking away with Brutus by my side, tightly holding my hand.
