The Wolf In Me

Chapter 21 Doors Of Hell

Part 1 Attacked

Mei's POV

Rushing to Luka's side I chuckled to myself out of joy.

"I heard you spoke my name," I said smiling from ear to ear.

I watched him as he slowly formed a smile back and at that moment I could sense that he was trying hard to bring his body slowly back to life. I chuckled excitedly, holding his right hand tightly around mine.

"He spoke a little. I mean words, but it feels good to know he is trying," Jake said now seeming more like himself.

"I can walk a little again. Look," he pushed himself up from the bed and started to move his legs slightly.

"Still a little wobbly, but getting there," he said grinning.

Melanie that was walking behind me a second ago, barged into the hospital room and closed the door in a rush.

"It's back," she declared, readying herself in front of the locked door.

"The demon managed to escape!"

Our joys of celebrating improvements were over in a split second and fear took its place. I felt my body shake and my wolf was trying to take control.

"No, No," I muttered to Nala, but as much as I struggled not to shift she was already at the surface and the human side of me gave in.

As my Wolf fur and nails emerged, Nala moved towards Melanie, getting ready for some action.

"Nala, stop. You cannot fight this. Leave it in the good hands of the witches," I screamed from within the wolf.

Nala lowered her front down and growled, still eager to fight.

"It's behind the door, I can feel it, Melanie tremulously said, moving two steps back. She started to chant as the door shook with the strong banging coming from the other side.

"Hurry, in the office," Melanie screamed out in between the spell.

She was holding him back for as long as she could until she received more help from the other witches. I thought I should mind link someone from my pack to get Lylah and Nelly to help us, but just on time, I could hear Nelly's high pitched voice coming from the other side trying to lure the beast away with all her might.

"Nala, Let me help. I need to move Luka away from danger," I ordered, trying hard to shift back.

Suddenly a hard push from the demon brought the hospital door down to the ground with a loud bang. Instantly, Nala jumped on top of the demon with her mouth wide open and bit his shoulder whilst being steered in mid-air from left to right. The witches were casting a strong spell that was slowly beating the creature to its knees. I swiftly caught his strong neck between my teeth and pulled at it, exposing blood

flowing down to his chest. In a split second all I could remember was stiffening and fell back hard on the ground. After that, everything went blurry.

Minutes later I was woken up by strong movements coming from within my belly. I realised I have shifted back to human form and laid down on the cold floor, naked.

"The baby," I said in sotto voce.

I looked down at my belly and I could see blood seeping from between my legs. My lungs stopped inhaling for a moment as fear struck me. The beast was still trying to get through to get to Luka and Jake but it decided to turn its attention on me. With a loud growl, it turned around and tried to snatch me with its large hand. My wolf got mad and I could feel that she was getting uneasy. I ran as fast as I could away from the demon as terror compelled me. I could hear the witches' faint voices as I rushed further away, managing to get to the hall where I found Steph and Malakai. My feet started to get wobbly from beneath my heavy body and I almost fell on the ground.

Malakai quickly got hold of me and I heard Steph gasp, "the baby! You are bleeding," she screamed.

"We must take her to the hospital. Fast," she said.

"No. The demon is attacking there."

I winced as I felt a contraction coming in strongly. This was not good at all.

"The Alpha and Beta are both in there," Malakai recalled, holding me tightly, not to fall. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Bring her to my room. I'll get her some clothes to wear. You go help them," she turned to look at Malakai and pointed to her bedroom.

He helped me walk slowly, one step at a time until we reached Steph's room.

"It's fine from here. Thanks," I whispered, feeling vulnerable, "I'm sorry you had to see me in such a state."

I fell heavily on the bed and looked at Malakai.

"Don't be. I'll go help out."

He rushed back outside without wasting any time. I moaned with pain as I felt another contraction.

"Not now baby, please. It's not your time yet."

I breathed in and out, trying to regulate myself. Blood couldn't stop seeping out and I started to get panic attacks. Steph stepped in her room with one of the light gowns I keep in my wardrobe.

"Here, let me help you get in this."

she helped me stand up from the bed and assisted me to wear the underwear first, then the brown gown that fell softly over my baby bump.

"We must find you a doctor," she frowned and looked me in the eyes.

"You are bleeding a lot and that is no good sign. May I leave you for a moment?" She asked folding her hands around my arms.

"Sure," I mumbled.

My feet couldn't hold my body much longer, so I slowly placed myself back down on the bed.

"Please moon goddess, help me, help us. I'm scared."

Suddenly I felt a rush of pain coming from everywhere in my body which brought me to an unconscious state.

Steph's POV

I hurried out of my bedroom, worried for my best friend and my Luna. She has been there for me when I was at my weakest and ended up growing with her from the age of seven when she found me dirty and scruffy in a bush. I was hiding from a werewolf that attacked my parents whilst we were having a great family time running in the forest and getting ourselves dirty. My father tried to protect us but he was killed first, then it leapt on my mother, murdering her in an instant. The werewolf glared at me for a long time and I stayed still, hoping someone would save my a** from it, but instead of killing me, it decided to let me be like it had a change of heart. These kinds of werewolves live and hunt in the forest, killing everything that comes their way. They have no humanity left in them, just animal instincts, but if they have pups, they would be more sympathetic towards other pups and kids. I remember running towards the bush as fast as I could to hide away and cried for hours. Mei has come to my aid

and took me to her home, washed me up, fed me and gave me a warm bed to stay. Since then I lived with her until Luka found his way to her and brought the pack back together.

"Hey, Dean where is Rebecca? I need her urgently. It's the Luna. She needs immediate help," I yelled a few meters away from him.

"She is outside, with her pups. Just saw her walk that way," he answered. "Do you need my help?" he offered, moving closer.

"Just help me find her," I said in a rush whilst opening the front door.

We headed towards Rebecca's direction, screaming out her name to stop walking further away.

"You are needed urgently, doctor. The Luna is in bad shape. She is bleeding and we are afraid she might lose the baby," I informed her, arriving at her side.

"I'll stay with the pups for you, don't worry Becca," her brother offered.

"Yes, Dean thanks. Let's go!" She said with a nod.

The doctor rushed to Mei's side, noticing that she was unconscious. Blood was everywhere, on the bed and the floor.

"This could be severe placental abruption. Something must have caused this. What happened?" She asked whilst checking Mei.

"She shifted and tried to attack a demon," I answered shortly, not knowing what truly happened in detail.

"Baby must be delivered instantly. We have to go to the hospital."

She managed between checking the positioning of the baby and rolling Mei on the right side.

"Now!" She insisted widening her eyes.

"The only problem is that the demon is there, blocking the way in according to Mei," I breathed.
