The Wolf in me

Chapter 26 – When can the healing start?

No One's POV

Almost immediately after Beck left her hospital room Jade tried to call Tori. She figured the Latina was in class, but knew she always checked messages between classes.

The phone rang and then she suddenly heard Tori's cheery voice mail message. Just hearing that made Jade feel terrible as she already missed Tori.

"Hey it's me, Tori. I'm so sorry I couldn't come to the phone. Please leave me a message and I'll get back to you."

Jade sighed and left a message. "Tori....Just please call me." After she hung up, Jade realized she sounded very pathetic. She felt pathetic. In addition to all the pain from the cuts, and other injuries, she felt broken on the inside. She felt a longing for her mate. But with her absent, Jade slowly sank into a depression. On top of everything else, she had a wicked hangover from consuming an entire bottle of peach schnapps.

She was pulled out of her thoughts by a knock at the door. She turned and saw it was Kevin the local pack leader and Tori's uncle Frank."

"Hey Jade. I thought we would check up on you. How are you feeling today?" Frank said as he walked in the room.

Jade rolled her eyes. "Like I got the shit kicked out of me. Next stupid question."

Frank appeared momentary embarrassed. "Well, you should only be in the hospital a few days. Your two stab wounds, fortunately didn't hit anything major. We had a top-notch plastic surgeon work on your nose last night. It should look like it never was broken at all. We can arrange for a dentist to have false tooth put in your mouth. Everything else should heal nicely."

Wanting to get straight to business, Jade asked. "What's the final score?"

Kevin stepped forward. We completely routed the vampires all over the world. After you destroyed the amulet, all the vampires that were left, fled. We think we got nearly all of them. We did lose about 17 people in the process. Most of the vampires were newly sired and quite weak. But there were a few older and more experienced ones mixed in. They did cause some problems, but we dealt with them. But all in all, we are very happy with the results. They were planning on hitting us hard. We did expect to take some casualties but we prevented a major disaster. We will always be in your debt for warning us in time."

"17" Jade muttered herself. She didn't like the fact that they lost people, but knew the consequences would have been many times worse if they hadn't acted when they did.

"Kevin." Jade said. "I want all locations where the vampires were rechecked today. Just in case we missed one or two. Some could possibly have returned there. In addition, I want some extra patrols in those areas for a couple of days. Some of the ones that got away may be lurking in those areas. I want to get as many of the fuckers as possible."

Kevin nodded. "Yes, your Majesty. Is there anything else?"

Jade wasn't used to being called that but ignored her discomfort. "There is a sword and dagger in the pool at Livia's house. Those are weapons leftover from the first war that can be used against werewolves. I want them and what's left of the amulet melted down. I then want the metal that's left over dumped deep into the ocean. I don't want any of that shit ever seeing the light of day again."

Jade had been thinking of what things needed to be done so the victory would be complete. She didn't want any of this crap ever to happen again.

"I'll see to it personally." Kevin said.
