Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 94: Piece by Piece

Jacob

I am nervous.

Ever since Skylar was brought into the infirmary, I have been vigilantly waiting to see him once the doctors finished treating him and the other students who were rescued from under the snow.

It took a long while, but finally the nurse practitioner allowed me to visit my prospect. Skylar was lying on a hospital bed, unconscious, and there was a drip administering medicine intravenously. He seemed calm, at peace, perfectly lying still while the medical professionals worried about his state.

I asked her about his condition, and though she couldn't give me specifics because I wasn't his family, she told me he hadn't woken up yet. She also told me they were waiting for his parents to arrive before moving him to the county hospital for additional examination.

I can not hide how worried I was feeling at hearing this. This is deadly serious. Hypoxia is not a joke, it can lead to serious issues for the brain, even a werewolf's. She allowed me to stay with him until his parents arrived, then I would have to clear space for them.

When the Strongholds arrived with their small entourage, orders were issued, Roberts was fired and Mr. Kirchner had the ungrateful task of preparing a report on who was at fault for what happened. I am guessing there'll be more people being dismissed later on.

Once they were told that Skylar needed to be moved to the county hospital, an ambulance was already on standby to take him there. In the meantime, Seth was nowhere to be found. Considering I knew he would want to be present for all this, I walked all the way to the Alpha House and knocked at Jayden's dorm room.

Seth was sleeping heavily, but he woke up once I knocked at the door. Minutes later, we both climbed down the stairs to talk to their parents.

"We've been here for half an hour already! Where were you?" Frederick reprimanded him, looking dead worried for his other son.

"I fell asleep, I'm sorry. How is he?" Seth looked mortified but also worried about his brother.

"They are moving him to the County Hospital, so we're going to take a ride there in one of the academy vans." He informed him in a somber tone. I had already greeted the Alpha couple when I saw them in passing earlier, so I just stood there next to my roommate, waiting for the next step.

As we waited for Skylar to be transported to the ambulance, one person was allowed with him, so naturally Dahlia went ahead. Mothers take priority always and I am good with that.

Things were moving fast and before I knew it, we were walking to the parking garage. Jayden said goodbye to Seth prior to this and told him to keep him posted. As we walked from the third tower to the parking garage, Seth introduced me to the famous...

"Jake, this is Jorge Santos, our family's assistant. Santos, this is my brother's prospect, Jacob Anderson Broderick." He was cordial enough to introduce us, despite all the nervousness and apprehension.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Santos. I always thought you'd be older." I greeted him, politely. Somehow, I pictured a man in his forties, but he cannot be older than 30, at the most. He looked Stoic, mimicking his Alpha employer, but he was nice enough to smile at me.

"I get that a lot." He smiled uncomfortably.

The six of us — Seth, Frederick, Santos, me, and the two warriors escorting their Alpha — got into one of the vans that were already waiting for us to embark and left towards the hospital. I've seen the Alpha irritated before, but this is a new level of rage. He looked like he was about to murder someone, but mostly he looked troubled.
