Finally Found

Chapter 2

"Where is she?" Cassandra looked up at her mate. Victoria called her a few minutes ago, telling her that she had arrived and asked about her whereabouts. It was evident by her appearance that she rushed here. She was wearing a gray fleece jacket and a pair of jeans. Cassandra can see a little part of her pajamas peeking near the collar.

"They're taking her for an x-ray right now" Cassandra put her palm on Victoria's lower back, guiding her to the emergency room. "They'll bring her back here after they're done with the x-ray." she continued.

"Tell me everything you know" Victoria crossed her arms.

Cassandra nodded. "She fainted at work, a coworker called an ambulance. She was still unconscious when she got here. Her blood sugar level was extremely low. They hooked her up on some fluids and got two bags of dextrose in. She's covered in bruises Vic. They think one of her ribs is broken, they're doing an x-ray to confirm it. They also did a rape kit. Hymen still intact, no internal abrasions or any other signs of rape." Victoria let out a relieved sigh at this.

"Did she see you? Does she know you're her mate?" Victoria questioned, receiving a nod from Cassandra.

"I was there shortly after she woke up. She knows. I already took care of the room by the way. We still need to fill in some forms. I thought I'd wait for you" Right after that, a bed was wheeled in with Phoebe lying on it. The doctor approached Cassandra when he saw her waiting there.

"We confirmed the broken rib. Thankfully, it didn't puncture any organs. Although, she mentioned being in some pain while breathing, so I've administered local anesthesia for now. I'll check on her tomorrow morning, I could prescribe her some painkillers depending on her condition then. We still need to monitor her glucose hourly, so I'd like to keep her here until the end of the week for observation and to make sure her glucose level has stabilized." He explained.

Cassandra nodded in agreement. "When will she be moved out of the ER?"

"She's good to go, I'll get a nurse to help you with that" He then leaves.

Victoria just got back to the room after she was finished with the admission forms. They got Phoebe the suite so they can stay with her. She was greeted by a strong scent. Vanilla with a hint of hazelnut. Just like what Casey described, she thought. She was so entranced by it, she didn't realize that she froze by the door until Cassandra's voice called out to her, "and here's Victoria. We were just talking about you Vic"

Cassandra was sitting on a chair next to the bed. Victoria went up to them, stopping just behind Cassandra. "Hello Phoebe, I'm Victoria Arnault, Cassandra's mate and yours" She offered a soft smile.

Looking at the two alphas, Phoebe felt intimidated. But somehow, she finally felt safe. After all these years, she finally felt complete, safe, and protected. Their scent brought comfort for her. Cassandra smelled earthy, like rain and cedarwood. Victoria's scent was a bit more sophisticated, like lavender and rose. Phoebe knew alphas are much more powerful than omegas, both physically and mentally. Omegas were made to obey and cater to their alphas needs and wants or there will be consequences. At least that's what she learned from her father.

"What time is it?" Phoebe asked.

"It's a quarter to one." Victoria answered.

Hearing that, Phoebe tried to sit up. Pain shoots up her sides. A groan escaped her mouth. She felt a hand pushing her gently back on the bed.

"Don't move. It'll be painful. You broke your rib. You need to lie down for now." Cassandra looked at her with worry.

"I- I need to go back home" Phoebe can feel herself starting to panic. This didn't go unnoticed by Victoria. As soon as the heart monitor started beeping quicker, she was at Phoebe's side, releasing her pheromones, calming her omega.

"You are in no condition to go home. You will stay here until you are discharged." Victoria firmly said.

"But my dad! Oh God. What am I going to do?" Phoebe rambled.

"Calm down. I'm sure your dad will understand. I can call him for you if you'd like. Do you have his number?" Cassandra took out her phone from her purse.

"No! Don't!" Phoebe exclaimed.

Hearing your tone, Victoria placed her hand on your cheek, making you face her. "Phoebe, do you have anything to tell us? We'll help you. You can tell us." Phoebe just looked back at her. Victoria can see the fear and uncertainty behind her eyes. Seeing Phoebe won't be answering soon, Victoria decided to push harder. She asked again, this time as gentle as she could, "Darling, who did this to you? Is it your father?" Phoebe still gave her no answer. Victoria was about to continue when tears started to fall from Phoebe's eyes. Phoebe started nodding while crying.

'Oh honey..." Cassandra puts one of her hands on top of Phoebe's hand, and the other on the side of Phoebe's head, caressing her. She wished she could hug her, but she knows she can't, considering the omega's broken rib. They managed to calm her down after half an hour caressing and whispering words of comfort to their omega.

Once Phoebe was calm, Victoria spoke out. "Did he break your rib?"

Phoebe gave her a slow nod. "It was late, I didn't want to go out and buy him beer. He slapped me because of that. He kicked me when I fell down from the slap"

Both the alphas felt rage at the thought of someone treating their mate that way. The fact that that someone was their mate's father only angered them more.

"How about your blood sugar? It was very low Phoebe. Thank God, they got you here quickly, you could've been brain dead!" Cassandra ranted.

"There was not enough money for me to eat. He made me spend the majority of it to buy him beer. He told me to go on a diet since money was running out" Phoebe mumbled, looking at anywhere but alphas.

"When was your last meal?" Cassandra felt her heart shatter hearing Phoebe's story.

"I ate some cereal two days ago." The omega mumbled,

"That's it! I'm going to call the police and have him arrested." Victoria seethed.

"But-"

"No buts, you could've been seriously harmed! Or worse, dead! He should be charged with assault! I might even push to make him charged with attempted murder! I know someone in the DA's office, maybe I should call her." Victoria was furious, she was pacing back and forth around the room.

"Vic, honey, calm down. You're scaring Phoebe, just call the police, and ask for a protection order for now. We'll figure out the rest from there" Cassandra interjected.

Victoria was about to argue but the look Cassandra gave her shuts her up. Seeing Phoebe's face, she decided to do what the other alpha said.
