Asher tried to think of good things as he rocked back and forth. He finally looked out at the people and shivered. Why were they staring at him? Why did some scowl at him and others gape at him. He didn't understand what their problem was. All he wanted to do was go back home... Where was home? He couldn't even remember who his family is, who he is honestly. Confidence surged through him and he stood up on shaky legs and was about to ask what was going on when he suddenly felt dizzy. He looked to Alpha Dean and their gazes locked and then Asher was falling. He felt someone grab him and hold him close, he tried to look but blackness overtook him.
The crowd gasped as Asher fell backwards into Alpha Dean. Alpha Dean was quick to act and held Asher close. Lucifer was instantly by his side whispering in his ear. Alpha Dean shook his head and whispered something and Lucifer sighed. Alpha Dean hurried off the platform and ran into the woods, leaving the pack confused. Amber grabbed her bag and hurried off after him. Lucifer whispered something to Aura and she nodded, her eyes full of worry. Lucifer stepped forward to address the Pack.
"My father, Alpha Dean, is taking Asher back to the clinic." Lucifer explained. The Pack looked at one another with astonished faces. "As you can see, Asher is not in good health. This is not a wolf who would do any harm. Take the time tonight to think about Asher. The meeting has ended, you may all go home." With that Lucifer, Aura, and Felix ran into the woods and left the Pack to do as they please.
Lucifer, Aura, and Felix arrive at the clinic and burst through the door. Alpha Dean is holding Asher close and soothing him. Amber is rummaging through her bag and the cabinets.
"Dad, what happened?!" Lucifer technically screamed out. Alpha Dean looked up worriedly and shook his head.
"Amber thinks that he just passed out." says Alpha Dean. Aura hurries to Alpha Dean's side and rubs his shoulder.
"Alpha Dean,--"
Alpha Dean cut Felix off before he could finish, "Yes, go, take care of the Pack." Felix nods and rushes out the door. Lucifer sighs and pulls a chair by Alpha dean. Amber rushes over and Lucifer notices she looks... scared. She puts a washcloth on him and then Asher's eyes snap open. He struggles out of Alpha Dean's grasp and falls to the floor. Alpha dean rushes over to him but Asher shies away in fear. He holds up his hand to try and protect himself.
"Please.. please... I-I didn't do it.." he pleads. Alpha Dean looks at Amber confused and then at Asher with worry. Asher tries to move away more but his bruised ribs make him cry out in pain. Lucifer gets up too by Alpha Dean's side. They needed to get Asher somewhere comfortable before he hurts himself even more. Alpha Dean steps forward.
"You're okay.. You didn't do anything--"
"Stay back!!!!!" screams Asher and he backs away more. Alpha Dean sees the wince from him as he moves.
"Asher, please.. you're okay.." Alpha Dean soothes. Asher moves farther back by the bed and cries out when his head hits the bed frame.
"Let me try, dad." Alpha Dean looks to Lucifer and nods. Lucifer steps forward cautiously and holds his hand out.
"Asher, it's me, Lucifer. You're okay.. we're not going to hurt you." Behind Asher, Amber creeps forward with a needle. "Breathe.. inhale and exhale... inhale... exhale.." Amber lunges forward with the needle and Asher whips around and pushes her back. Lucifer lunges but Asher punches him back. Alpha Dean blocks the door, Aura by his side. Asher takes the needle from Amber and holds it out as he backs up against the wall. "Asher, stop! We're trying to help you!" Lucifer grunts from the floor, his eye already bruising.
"Stay away!! Or..." he grabs Amber and holds her by her waist close to him. "I'll hurt her!" Alpha Dean's face darkens and he creeps forward.
"Put her down, Asher. Now." he commands. Asher pulls Amber up roughly and she groans in pain. Alpha Dean creeps forward even more and now stands by Lucifer. "Put. her. Down." he growls.
