The Hawk Shifter (Paul Lahote x oc)

Chapter 15: Pain (updated)

Instead of taking seconds like I did, Leah shifted instantly. I pushed Paul out of the way and caught her paw on my left side.

I cried out and fell into Paul. He lowered me to the ground, crying out for someone to call an ambulance, as a new wolf leaped over us and attacked a stunned Leah. Seth.

I groaned in pain as he cradled my head in his lap. He stroked my hair mumbled, "It's going to be ok." He sounded like he was trying to reassure himself as much as he was me.

"Turn her on her side." I heard someone, Jared, say. I was turned to lay on my right side and felt something press on my wound. I cried out and tried to get away from it. "I know, I know." Jared mumbled.

"You're hurting her!" Paul cried out. He was going into over-protective mode. "Stop it!" He tried to push Jared away but Jake and Sam pulled him away.

"No." I mumbled. I gasped as Jared pressed again. "No."

"You need to lie still." Jared said softly. "I need to stop the bleeding." I tried my best to hold still but the pain was too much. Tears were streaming down my face as Emily took Paul's spot by my head.

She gently brushed some hair out of my face and gave me a sad smile. "It's going to be ok." She mumbled. "Just look at me." And that's what I did until the pandemics got there. I focused on Emily, ignoring the pain in my side and Paul yelling for Jared to stop.

Embry must have brought the paramedics to the back because the next thing I knew I was being lifted off the ground. The towel was shoved deeper into my side and I almost screamed. I could barely make out the EMTs asking for my name and Jared answering for me. Sam and Jacob managed to calm Paul down enough for him to ride in the ambulance with me. Right as we started driving to the Hospital, the paramedics gave me something that made me pass out and the last I remember is Paul holding my hand like his life depended on it.

Paul POV.

It all happened so fast. At one moment I was standing in front of Leah, the next Olivia was in-between us, then I was cradling her bleeding body on the ground.

I screamed for an ambulance. I heard Sam make the call to her parents, letting them know what happened. I heard her mom screaming for her husband to get into the car. I watched as Jared came over and started to try and stop the bleeding. I knew he was only trying to help but my mind went into overprotective mode as soon as I heard her scream.

"Stop it!" I cried out. "Your hurting her." I attempted to push him away but I was yanked back.

I tried fighting but Sam was Infront of me. "You need to calm down." I looked at her, Emily and Jared by her side. That should be me. "Freaking out is only going to make things worse." I was about to argue back when Embry came around with the paramedics. They got her into the ambulance and I jumped in when they asked if anyone was going to ride with her. I grabbed her hand as she passed out and prayed that she would be ok.

When we got to the hospital I was led to the waiting room. I had just sat down when the doors flew open

Her dad stomped up towards me but her mom took one look at my tear stained face and grabbed his arm.

"I told you if you hurt her I would feed you to the vampires." Her father spat. "You're lucky they aren't here."

"It wasn't me." My voice cracked.

"Then who was it," he snapped.

"Leah Clearwater." He looked equally as shocked as I was when I learned about the female wolf. "None of us knew she had shifter blood." My voice cracked again as a lump formed in my throat. A tear slipped down my cheek.
