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.

I took a deep breath by reflex, and suddenly the event flashed in my memory. I tried to get up, but they held me down

“Tia, Tia”, I managed, and they held me down. “My... my wife?” I asked.

“Alpha Luke, You and your wife, sustained massive injuries in a car accident, and some silver was involved.

“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.

“The assailants alighted their vehicle and shot several rounds at you and her, but her body was over yours, so she got the brunt of it. They were not able to

get close enough to aim for your heads. That was what saved the both of you,” She said with tears streaming down her eyes. I went to hold her.
