“The guy, the omega…my pack!” I manage to stutter out.
The police exchange looks. “Are you the alphas? Is this your pack?”
“They were going there…Oli Crow and Bethany Raines. Oh, shit, oh, fuck.” I look at the vehicles, mangled in the middle of the road, and double over, breathing hard and gagging. “Are they alive? Please, are they alive?”
“I’m sorry, alpha, but we can’t answer that. You need to go to the hospital.”
“What happened?” I howl. “How did this happen?”
I whip around, but Hunter grips my shoulders and holds me still.
“The number plate of the car is EFY321M, and it’s registered to Dale Hunter. Is that my car?”
The cops exchange a look and nod shortly.
“Which hospital?” Hunter asks in a numb voice. He sounds so far away.
“Melrose Ewen.”
I turn and sprint for the car, Hunter just a few feet behind me.
The drive takes us forever, but then we’re in the hallway with a doctor up against the wall.
“Oli Crow is in surgery right now.”
“He’s alive?” I bark out, my chest tightening.
“Yes, at the moment, he’s critical. He turned the vehicle to protect his passenger, so he took the brunt of the damage.”
I close my eyes. “And our omega, Bethany Raines?”
At this, the doctor’s expression closes off.
My stomach sinks, and I have to fight the urge to cry out. “Is she dead?”
“I’m not at liberty to say, Alpha. You aren’t officially a pack or family.”
“What?” Hunter breathes. “She’s been living with us, she’s ours-”
“But not yet in paper, not recorded, there are no bonds. I have to follow the law, so I can’t release that information.”
The doctor escapes and leaves us standing in the hallway feeling helpless. I’m not good at this part. I need to do something, organise something. But I force myself to follow Hunter to a pair of plastic seats and drop heavily into one.
Hunter cradles his head, his shoulders shaking. I put a hand on his back and intently watch everyone who walks past, hoping that it will be someone with information.
My brain is a frazzled mess, and all I keep thinking is how did this happen?
And then I see someone I don’t expect to see. Kelly Raines is tall and golden bronze with a thick mane of hair tied in a man bun. He walks with two men on either side of him. He radiates power and calm, the sort of alpha who would be a leader even amongst alphas.
I stand up, and his eyes flick to me. All the power of a man who can have anything he wants, do anything he wants, is there in his eyes as he sizes me up, and then it’s gone. He holds out his hand.
“You must be Saint. My cousin Ryn called me since I was the closest. I got here as soon as I could. These are my pack mates, Ezy and Gael.”
I duck my head at them but stay focused on Kelly.
“They won’t tell us anything,” my voice breaks on the last note, and he reaches out and puts a hand on my shoulder. I don’t deserve it.
We don’t deserve their kindness.
