Chapter 8 

Elena PO

Alisha paced the room; I don‘t even remember coming here. I only know what she told me. She told me that my mother had called an ambulance, and Alisha raced to meet me here and she hadn‘t left my side since. My father banished me from the pack, and she was not taking that news well. Whereas I felt nothing but numb inside despite the pain coursing through me. 

We can join another pack?” she mutters, and I knew she would for me. She was that kind of friend. The ride or die sort. We had been best friends since first grade and I knew that wouldn‘t change. 

And leave your family behind?” I ask her. It sounded ridiculous. She shouldn‘t suffer because of my foolish actions. She wasn‘t the one that jumped into bed with Alpha Axton. 

“No, I will think of something,” I tell her, shaking my head. 

“Jake is on his way. I rang him already. He should be here soon,” she tells me, finally sitting down and no longer pacing. She had been pacing that spot for so long now I was worried she would wear a track into it. 

“Did my mother try to contact the hospital?” | ask, hopeful. My mother apparently attacked my father to stop him from killing. Alisha‘s eyes crinkle in the corners as she smiles sadly. She didn‘t have to answer. I knew the answer automatically by the look on her face. Mum would never go against dad by ringing me. She risked enough attacking him, apparently she got pretty banged up for it too. He was her mate. Her motherly part was done now. She did that by saving me and calling an ambulance. I was a grown woman. She was no longer required to hold my hand, and after last night, I doubted I would ever feel her motherly embrace again. She would be ashamed of me, just like my father was. I made a fool of him in front of the entire city. Swallowing, I nod, wiping a stray tear. 

“It will be okay. We will figure out something,” Alisha whispers, clutching my fingers and giving them a squeeze just as the doctor walks into the room. He was an older gentleman. He has a worried look on his face as he enters, glancing from his notes to me. I could hardly look anyone in the eye here. No doubt they all saw the video, it showed by the way their eyes nervously darted away when they met mine. 

He clears his throat, setting his pen in the lab coat pocket and tucking the notepad under his arm. 

“Elena, your father has informed us you are no longer a pack member. Which means we can‘t treat you if you aren‘t covered by the pack insurance.” | swallow, taking in what he is telling me, no doubt he canceled my trust fund too. Tears spring in my eyes, and I nod. Of course, he would be that petty.
