Chapter 24- Alive and Healthy
Phoenix/Aurora:
Beta Brian’s boots were heavy against the floor, as he paced the room like a caged wolf, "How could this happen?" he roared, his gaze cutting through me like a razor.
I was sitting in the chair with a stiff back, waiting for him to put on me. Jai was in the worst condition. The fear of losing him was taking over my senses.
For the umpteenth time, I tried to rub my palms together. This strange kind of irritation wasn’t letting me sit still. All I wanted to do was run to my friend who was in the hospital emergency at the same floor where we were.
Beta Brian slapped his hands on the desk and leaned over to look at me, "You are a warrior, Phoenix... and someone ran away after attacking him... right under your nose!"
He was right. All I did was stand there frozen while my friend bled. Alpha Blake was sitting in Jai’s seat, with a bored look, flipping the paperweight casually from one hand to another.
He was the one who allowed me to join warrior training, and now he must be regretting his decision.
Against the wall, Kiara stood with her arms crossed, a smug smile dancing on her lips. She didn’t even try to hide it.
"Well," She drawled, tossing her back, "Maybe if some people had focused more on their fighting skills instead of giving speeches in the meetings...then maybe this wouldn’t have happened."
It hit me hard. This was not the time for this verbal judo when my friend was lying in that hospital bed, fighting for his life.
