The Transfer novel Chapter 34

"Ali, I'm so glad you're okay. I heard that there were rogues and I thought you were dead or something ridiculous!" Lucas' voice exclaimed as arms wrapped around me. I winced in pain as the male crushed my open wounds.

He quickly pulled away, sensing my discomfort and I smiled weakly at him. Lucas looked down at me, studying me for injuries. Behind him, I saw Leon and Quo jogging towards us.

Quo's father was the head tracker of the pack, and Quo was following quickly in his father's footsteps even though he was still a trainer for the warriors. I saw his nostrils flare as he began to sniff at the air.

"Follow the scent before it fades in the wind! Go! Go!" Henry shouted, waving his hand. Several wolves, including Quo rushed off, tracking the scent of the rogues.

My mind was wild with thoughts as I watched everyone run around like headless chickens. No one was calm. Rogues had somehow made it into the territory without anyone noticing. It was almost impossible for it to happen.

With the amount of patrols around the borders and the amount of fantastic noses in the pack, intruders should almost never get into the pack.

"Are you okay? You're bleeding," Leon asked me as he rushed over. He ignored whoever was calling his name and grabbed my jaw, studying my face for injuries.

I felt weak. My whole body was crying in agony and I wanted to collapse. I felt my blood running down my legs and along my arms and torso.

"Liam, are you alright? I saw you—"

I heard a voice from behind me and I turned my head. I watched Veronica run up to Liam who had just pulled on a pair of shorts that he must've found in a tree. He ignored her and dodged her extended arm as she reached out to grab him.

My beast purred as he walked over to me. He didn't bother asking if we were alright, he grabbed me and pulled into a tight hug that hurt but felt good at the same time.

His torso was warm and I felt his anger seeping off him. He was still pissed, but I could feel it getting easier for him as he hugged me. My body seemed to ease of the pain only a little and I sighed into Liam's chest as I relaxed in his arms.

"Liam!" Henry yelled out. Liam's chest rumbled and he let out a low growl, a warning to Henry. But Henry wasn't taking it.

"Liam! Get over here now," Henry growled out deeply. Liam grunted and pulled away from me. He looked down at me and cupped my chin.

Liam kissed the top of my head and then walked away. He shot me a worrying look that told me he cared and didn't want to leave my side. I felt better already.

"I'll be with you the minute I can get away," Liam told me. I nodded my heavy head at him as I turned back to Lucas and Leon who were looking around.

The scent of the rogues was fading. The wind was sweeping it up and carrying it through the trees and out into the open air where we would eventually lose their complete trail.

They were all dead and that was the important thing.

My beast whined painfully. She didn't like that the rogues had just come through and caused such a big commotion. Their only purpose was to cause destruction and pain to everyone around them.

I let out a low growl as I kicked one's leg. Lucas grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the bodies on the ground. I let him tug me away as I knew that I needed to get back to the pack doctor.

"You need me to carry you?" Lucas asked me as I slowly walked along. I shook my head at him despite the fact that I really wanted him to. I didn't want him to think I wasn't able to hold myself.

"Don't be stupid," Lucas told me as he stepped behind me and scooped me up. I relaxed almost immediately in his arms and felt better to be off my feet. I winced as the wounds on my back stretched a little and began to bleed again.

I was hurting everywhere and I just wanted to shut my eyes and sleep. "Bray's Mum is waiting for you at the hospital. She said she'll treat you straight away."

Leon's words made me feel a lot better. I sighed deeply and nodded my head at him. Brayleigh's mother was the best doctor in the pack and I knew I was in good hands.

"I'll meet you back at your cabin later, okay? Henry is refusing to let me go," Liam called to me. My beast sighed sadly. We both hated that Liam wasn't the one carrying us to the hospital. We wanted him with us.

"Is it just me or does Henry boss around Liam like his life depends on it?" I mumbled out to Lucas and Leon. Lucas's chest rose and fell as he laughed. Leon snorted.

"Damn right he does. He's a prick like that. But let's not worry. We've got to get you to the doctor," Leon replied. I smiled weakly and shut my eyes.

When we reached the doctor, my wounds were treated by Brayleigh's mother, Cameron. She was sweet and kind. She was also gentle and made the occasional joke. I liked her and I saw how much Brayleigh resembled her.

After I saw treated, Cameron made Lucas carry me back to my cabin. The ride was painful and I felt my slowly healing gashes open up again.

My cabin was empty when Lucas walked me inside. Leon followed us anyway, and I heard yells from outside. I ignore it as Lucas took me down to my room and placed me on the bed.

I moved onto my stomach. Lucas helped me to lay comfortably before he pulled the blanket over me. He was gentle and kind. I appreciated him being with me.

"You need anything? Some water maybe?" Lucas suggested. I nodded my head at him and hugged my pillow to get comfortable. My whole body was aching painfully and I knew that it would hurt until Liam got here.

Lucas left the room and as he did, Lila and Brayleigh rushed in. Leon rolled his eyes but winked at me playfully. I rolled my eyes back at him as Brayleigh came up to me and grabbed my hand. Lila looked terribly upset and uncomfortable.

"We're so glad you're okay. Those damn rogues deserved everything they got," Brayleigh told me with a relieved sigh. I smiled weakly at her and held her hand gently.

I looked over to Lila. Her eyes were sad and her shoulders were sagged. She looked beyond upset, but I wasn't sure what at. I was okay, and so was Ezra. No one was badly hurt.
