Secrets Of Sanctuary Hospital Nightmare Of The Dark Shadows by L.A.A. Law Page B

please, every time you speak, the
muscles in your neck contract and you spurt out more blood. Please
stop or we won’t be able to save you.”
    Concentrating on slowing down my heart rate,
I feel the escaping blood from my neck and head slow to a trickle
and begin to think my questions. “Please tell me, do you know if my
children made it, did their father find them?”
    “I was with you children when the others
found them. I believe someone brought your husband to them moments
later, but your son, Jacob, had already done a fine job in curing
Nicholas and dispelling the wolf venom from himself. Your daughter,
however, she saved Kayla, but your husband had to work on her, she
was not able to dispel the venom fast enough and some of it touched
her system.”
    Panic rips through me as I consider that
Nicole may be dying. Before I even form the question, Grant is at
my ear. “Please relax, your husband was working on her and I could
hear him tell the others that she was going to be fine, she only
needed to relax and so do you. The more anxious you get, the more
your heart pumps and more blood escapes.”
    “Are you sure he said she would be fine?
Please I need to know the truth.”
    “I have no reason to lie to you. I know what
I heard him say, he even told one of the witches that their spell
was unnecessary and that he was confident that she was healing.
Before I left, they were moving her and the other children to the
cars so that they could find you.”
    “Why did you take me then? Why didn’t you
just take me to my family or let them know where I was?”
    “I’m sorry, I couldn’t do that, Marlena had
already become you and was moving toward your family with the
others. I heard them giving the coordinates to the rest of their
family and knew that they were closing in on them. I couldn’t risk
taking you to them. Your children were recovering, you are hurt,
some of your party was hurt and in my condition, I would have lost
the rest of my pack and my family. David and his family are too
plentiful and strong. I’m sure that in the confusion and
hesitation, your family would have been severely impaired as well.
I only hope that they stuck to the plan of letting Marlena join
them to learn if you had other children. They wanted to ensure they
took all of you out. Otherwise, I hope your family was fast enough
to avoid the entourage that was heading their way.”
    As fear grips my heart, I concentrate on
shutting down my emotions. I don’t want to bleed to death before I
can reach them or channel again and know that they are alright.
    Without realizing, I become conscious of his
fur again and an unbidden question comes to mind. “Are you the wolf
that I heard with the children?”
    “Yes, I’m the one the others were trying to
capture using your children as bate, but I was never going to
attack them. I could tell that they were the ones being held in the
dungeon. I got a glimpse of them when I was outside the window and
caught their scent. I was going after the ones who were with them,
but then the situation got out of my control, I was shot and my
pack saw that I was going to be attacked again and they began
attacking everyone that was close to me in the confusion. I am very
sorry that your children got hurt.”
    “How did you know that they were my
children?”
    “At first, all I could tell was that they
were related to you because of the similar scent that I got around
you and them, but then when I lifted you, I could hear you fleeting
thoughts about how much you loved them and hoped they would be safe
in with their father. Only a mother would think of her children
that way as she thought she was dying.”
    I remember what I had heard him say outside
of the dungeon window. “I’m sorry about your family, did any of
them survive?”
    His voice turns extremely sad and quiet.
“Yes, my eldest son and two daughters survived, but my other four
children and my wife perished. We should have never gotten
ourselves
