The Tormented Soul

Chapter 5: save her

Darius POV

I have my hand over the girl's neck and put pressure where she had pushed the scalpel in. Blood was coming out in large amounts. I have her blood all over my hands. I see the light in her eyes fading away. I look over to Celia and Cassie, they are both standing frozen.

"What are you two doing, don't stand there" I scream out in my powerful alpha tone.

They both come back from the shock and start running the room to get the tools they need to save her. Celia gets down on her knees just above the girl’s head and puts pressure over my hands

"Don't lose her! I won't lose her! we need her!" I growled at her.

"Alpha, I won’t lose her. I’ll do my best, but we have to take out the scalpel." She says in a scared voice.

"Then do it for fucks sake!" I growled at her.

She looked at me and I know she sees my eyes are black from so much frustration and anger. I growled at her once again when I noticed she did not do anything.

"Alpha, there are risks if I pull it out. I don't know what the outcome will be." She told me with so much fear in her voice.

"Celia, she is bleeding out! Take it out but don't lose her, you need to do everything in your power to save her." I growl at her using the alpha tone.

I see Cassie has come back with some weird instruments. She places them beside Celia. I’m still holding pressure on the wound when I see both put gloves on.

"Alpha, you need to move your hands so I can save her." Celia told me in a composed voice.

I moved my hands away a bit so I could give them more access to save the dying girl.

Third POV

Cassie looks at Celia before she starts to clean around the scalpel and to check that it was not in any major arteries before she pulls it out. More blood comes out when Celia removes the scalpel and gives it to Cassie. The scalpel they removed from Aleera’s nack is completely covered in blood and Cassie puts it in a metal container. Then she pulls out a needle and pushes it in an arm to connect IV-Drip to Aleera. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Celia puts some gauze over the cut on Aleera's neck. To make the bleeding stop.

"Alpha, we need help to lift her up on the bed." Celia tells Darius.

Darius moves closer and bends down to pick up Aleera. Darius puts one arm under her knees and one behind her head. He walks over to the bed and places Aleera on it. Darius stands beside the bed and looks at Aleera with worry and terrified look on his face. While Darius is standing beside the bed he sees Celia stitching the wound up so the girl would not bleed out after that she helps Cassie connect machines to her body. The machines start to beep and show her heartbeat.

"Alpha, I did my best. I hope she will pull through. The only thing she needs now is rest." Celia told him. Just when she had finished that sentence the cardiac machine that measures Aleera's heartbeat stops and shows she's in cardiac arrest.

Celia springs into action.

"Alpha, you need to get out! Cassie start CPR, NOW!" she screamed to both of us

Cassie starts the compressions while Celia puts a breathing mask over Aleera's nose and mouth.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 ………. 30 and Celia pushed two breaths in her. They did this for two and a half minutes still nothing.

"Cassie, keep on going I will get the defibrillator." Celia said before she ran to the other side of the room. She comes back and tells Cassie to stay clear.

"200, clear, ….. check the pulse." Celia ask Cassie

"Nothing."

"200, again, clear."

Aleera's body jumps from the electric shocks. After three times the cardiac machine started to show Aleera's heart was back on track.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

Both breath out in relief that she was back.

Darius POV

I was right outside the door worried like hell. I looked down at my hands and I see that they were still covered in that girl's blood. I try to calm myself down and to listen through the door. I heard everything.

When I heard Celia said that her heart beat is back and on track, I took a relieved breath. As I was thinking to myself,

‘I don't want to lose this girl. I know she is my mate. My wolf screamed it when I saved her in the woods. I saw it in the girl’s eyes that she knew it too, but it looks like she pushed that thought away. But why was the question, was it because she did not want me as a mate or was it because of her past?’

Someone called my name and brought me out of my thoughts.

"Alpha! You have been summoned to a meeting with the other alphas. We have to leave." It was my beta and best friend, James.

James came around the corner and saw all the blood on my hands. His eyes grew as he slowly started to put everything together

I looked at James, "Can't you handle it? I think it's best if I stay here. I don't want to leave her. I can feel something towards her and I want to be here when she wakes up. Plus we need to find out who she is."'

"I know you want that but the other alphas have requested that you be there in person, something has happened. We will go there and be back here before nightfall. I think Celia can handle her until we are back"

I nodded my head at him even if I wanted to stay as the alpha I know I need to do this.

“But before we go I do believe you need to get cleaned up.” James says to me while pointing at my hands. I left my spot and headed to my room to get cleaned up.

After my shower I put on my black jeans and my black shirt and walk down the stairs. James was right by the door in his blue jeans and white shirt. He has blonde hair and ice-blue eyes. His broad shoulders

and his muscles could be seen all over his body. We had almost the same body type. We have been training together since we were kids.

"Darius, are you ready to leave?" James ask

"Truth, no, I just want to stay here and keep an eye on her. But I know I have to go, it is my duty as an alpha. Do you know what they want to talk about?" I asked James

"Probably the same thing as always, how we should deal with the moonlit pack. They probably killed someone again." James answers me back shrugging while shaking his head.

I sigh and start to walk to the door. I open it and walk out, James follows behind me and closes the door. We got in one of our pack’s black SUVs and James started the car and we drove off to our destination.
