Finally managed to post Chapter 2❤️

............

People rushed through the medical ward tending to the needs of the patients each sharing a room. Rooms were occupied by badly wounded, heavily sickened and terminal ill wolves that kept filling the ward each week. The somewhat building was not built big enough for each wolf to have their own rooms, especially when a crisis broke out in the clan. The only people who did not share rooms with other wolves usually had infections or deadly diseases that the pack beta was afraid might spread. This wolves were situated outside of the main medical building and occupied their own cottages for isolation. The pack members built the health ward formally from scratch using materials they found within the forest, strong enough to withhold storms and keep them warm throughout winter.

Kyungsoo was not very fond of the sight of so many people bustling so late at night. This was the first time he actually worked a night shift in a while and given that new patients were admitted into the ward each day, things have gotten quite busy. The omega had returned from his break after he was done with his daily shift to start the night shift he was filling in for Baekhyun. Kyungsoo attended to his first patient, an injured 18 year old male alpha who fall from a steep hill. He rolled down, his body scratched and bruised from the impact, until his body bashed against a tree fracturing his ribcage. The alpha explained that he was racing with his friends in their wolf forms and did not see the rock, because he was to busy trying to win the race, he was already leaning to the edge of the hill when he tripped and fall. The omega could feel the wolf's pain as he whined every time he grazed the wet cloth upon his wounds, trying to clean up the dried up blood to apply ointment, and slightly pressed against his chest to feel at each bone, carefully wrapping his chest with bandages.

His second patient was a five year old female omega who had a mild fever from which Kyungsoo learned, by the way her parents explained, was from her playing too long outside with other pups refusing to go back inside the house. Kyungsoo had to hold back a laugh at her gruesome face after drinking the bitter medicine and her childish debate with her parents on not drink the remaining ones. In the end she was convinced by her mother, who promised to bring her homemade cookies the times she visits and the omega seemingly agreed as she happily drank away at the remaining medication unfazed as if her tantrum was all an act to get what she wanted.

Kyungsoo's next four patients were the newly admitted alpha wolves that were attacked the night before. They were occupied in a single room, bodies printed with horrifying bite marks which tore through their skin, bruises and open wounds blood seeping out and a few limbs broken to which Kyungsoo could guess was from the rogue wolves that tried to prevent them from any attempts of fighting back. Two wolves had broken arms, one had a broken leg and the other had a gushing injury on his neck. One of the wolves, with a broken arm, had a torn ear which he explained was attacked when he was in his wolf form. Another, with a broken leg, had a long clawed scratch mark against his eye, he could barely open. Kyungsoo quickly examined them separately, feeling a pang in his heart as they laid lifeless and in pain shivering at the feeling of the ointment he smeared on their wounds to help them heal faster and treating their limbs before wrapping them in bandages. Once done, he left the room taking in deep breaths to ease his beating heart.

'Their wounds are too severe to believe that mere wolves did that. Rogue wolves are feral beasts that need to be timid before anyone else can get hurt.' To deep in to his thoughts he paced through the corridor anxious and disturbed.

"Kyungsoo?? Are you okay??" A voice cut through the bustling noise of the crowded corridors filled with quickening steps and chattering wolves, a hand on his shoulder bringing him out of his thoughts. Kyungsoo looked back to see Junmyeon with a wooden clipboard, clipped with a few sheets of paper and his white coat hanging loosely on his forearm. The beta looked tired to the brim, dark bags invaded his under eye that went into contrast with his pale skin and ruffled up hair which seemed to have been tugged a few times given by its current state.
