Luke. 

I heard a beeping sound continuously as I struggled to open my eyes. My eyelid was heavy, and I felt my bones snapping into place. I tried to remember what had happened, but my mind was blank. I struggled to open my eyes, and I finally did There was light above me, and something stuck down my throat. I blinked a couple of times, and a woman wearing a nose mask in scrubs looked at me.

“Alpha Luke, Alpha Luke,” she said, and I tried to respond. She brought her hand down towards my face and towards my mouth, then pulled at the thing in my throat. She pulled it out, and it was a breathing tube.

“Where is she?” I asked her. I knew I sounded desperate, but I could not help it.

“Follow mę,” she said calmly and led me to a room next to the one I woke up in. I rushed in. She was wrapped in bandages and hooked up to a machine. I went to her bedside and kissed the top of her head.

“The impact was on her side, Luke. She came here almost dead, but she held on to life long enough for us to get the silver bullets out of her.” She said, her voice cracking

“Silver bullets?” I asked, and she nodded.
