Chapter 18
Cyra
I can’t believe Yorick killed that guy. If I wasn’t in such horrible pain, I would probably care more. But it’s all I can do to not scream in agony as Yorick rushes me to the infirmary.
“I’ve got an emergency!” he yells as he rushes us through the doors.
A doctor runs up, takes one look at my knee and tells Yorick to follow her. She takes me straight to an x–ray room where Yorick gently lays me on the table.
“Alpha, I need you to step out of the room,” the doctor says.
“I’ll be right back,” he says and rushes out.
“What’s your name, Alpha?” the doctor asks.
“Cyra. Cyra Teymoori.”
“Alpha Cyra, I’m Dr. Johnston. I’m going to get an x–ray of your knee and see how bad it is,” she says. “Stay still for me. I know it hurts.”
She steps out of the room, and I hear a mechanical humming sound before she comes back in. Yorick bursts into the room right behind her, his phone to his ear.
“Mom, I need your help. A… student at the Academy got kicked in her knee, dislocating it. Mom you have to help her or she’ll get expelled from the Academy,” he says.
Oh shit. That thought hadn’t yet occurred to me. I swallow the bile in my stomach, partly from the pain in my knee and partly from the idea of losing the last year of my life before bonding with Stellan.
“Excuse me! This is MY hospital. You are not in charge here. I don’t know who you think you are, or who you think you can call to help Ms. Teymoori, but get out and stop distracting me,” the doctor growls.
“My mother is Dr. Yara Hill. She is renowned in the medical industry. Forgive me if I believe that she can do more to help Cyra from across the country than you can standing in this room,” Yorick snarls at her.
“Yorick, calm down son. Anger and anxiety have no place in a hospital,” I hear a woman’s voice through the phone. Even from a long distance, her voice sounds calm and soothing.
“Your mother is Dr. Yara?” the doctor asks.
“Yeah. I’m Yorick Hill, her son.”
The doctor holds out her hand and Yorick hands over the phone, narrowing his eyes as if he expects her to disconnect the call.
“Dr. Yara, this is Dr. Charlotte Johnston. I’m not sure if you … oh you do remember me. Yes,” she says, looking at me. “Yes, I’m just about to look at the x- rays. Hold on just a moment.”
“Alpha Cyra, is it okay with you if I speak to Dr. Yara?”
I look at Yorick. He wouldn’t have called her if he didn’t think she could help.
“Yes.”
“Thank you,” she says, stepping out of the room.
“Has she given you anything for the pain yet,” Yorick says, coming over and taking my hand.
“Not yet.”
He gently wipes the tears from my face. He must quickly.
rushed to get back to his room and wash the blood off his face, because he got back here very
“Yorick, you killed him,” I whisper.
“And I would do it again,” he growls softly.
“What if you get kicked out, Yorick?”
“Don’t worry about me. You worry about yourself and healing. How is Rina?”
“Struggling not to heal me, but she knows if she does,
I just have to undo it to put my knee back into position,” she says.
“Okay, Alpha Cyra, Dr. Yara are I are in agreement with how to proceed,” she says, handing Yorick his phone. “I studied under your mother at your pack, Alpha Yorick. I am well versed on how to treat this type of Finjury.”
He nods, glancing at the phone before pocketing it and turning back to me.
“Alpha Cyra, I’m going to sedate you and take you in for surgery,” she says. “How is your wolf?”
“Unhappy that she can’t start healing me,” I say.
“That’s a good sign. What’s your wolf’s name?”
“My name is Rina, doctor,” Rina says, pushing forward. She’s as surprised as I am that the doctor is asking about her.
“Rina, the sedation will work on you too, although in my experience, you will recover faster than Alpha Cyra. When you wake after surgery, you may begin healing your human. If you are as strong as most Alphas, you’ll only miss one day of sparring class, so you won’t fall behind.”
“I’m not leaving your side,” Yorick says.
“I’ll be back before you wake up,” he says, leaning over to kiss my forehead.
