CIAN
The doors to the healer quarters slammed open so hard the hinges screamed. I did not care if they broke.
"Thorne! Maren!" My voice came out raw. Desperate. "Do something."
Maren looked up from her workstation. Her eyes went wide when she saw Fia in my arms. The blood seeping through her fingers. The way her head lolled against my chest.
She moved fast. I had to give her that.
"Bring a bed!" she shouted at the omegas behind her. "Now!"
They scrambled. A wheeled cot appeared and I laid Fia down on it. Her hand fell away from her neck and the wound gaped at me. Red and angry and still bleeding.
Maren pressed a thick bandage against it. Her hands were steady. Mine were not.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Mad." The word tasted bitter in my mouth. "Another disloyal wolf. She tried to kill Fia for discovering her."
Maren nodded. She did not ask more questions. She simply just got to work.
