The Alphas And The Orphan

Saturday 8th January cont…..

Alexei’s POV

After mum ripped us all a new a*****e, we spent an hour in our Alpha suite; we are renovating it so that it will be ready for Star to move in. We still live in our parent’s suite. We wanted to move in at the same time as our Luna, so she would feel that it is her home as much as ours. It is almost ready to go, and it looks great, goddess. I hope she likes it.

After leaving my brothers, I decided I needed to let off some steam, so I linked Oliver to meet me in the forest for some sparring. Mum was right. We caused the situation that almost got Star hurt. By thinking with our d***s, we got involved with three crazy whores, who, let’s face it, while pretty are really nothing special.

Oliver and I have been sparring for about 20 minutes when my wolf Storm gets really agitated. He had been pacing for a while but I just put it down to the a*s kicking mum gave us. But now he is going crazy.

“Storm? What’s wrong, dude?”

“I don’t know. I have a feeling I can’t shake.”

While I’m distracted, Olly gets a few good hits in. He laughs at me, so I attack him. And then I hear a scream that turns my b***d to ice.

“ALEXEI!”

I turned and saw my beautiful Fairy crumple to the ground. I rushed to her shouting for Olly to get help, there was b***d all over her, one of her eyes was swollen shut, with a huge gash on her forehead. I picked her up carefully, and ran, talking to her as I headed to the hospital.

“It’s going to be OK baby, I have you.” I linked my brothers, “Get to the hospital now. They hurt Star.”

The tears are in my voice. I made it to the hospital in record time; walking in and screaming for a doctor. I gently lay Star on a stretcher and nurses wheeled her down a corridor. When we got to the end, I was told to stay in the waiting room.

“Lexi, what the f**k happened? You have b***d all over you.” my brothers sit down next to me. I look at the b***d on my hands. I can’t stop shaking. “I don’t know. I was sparing with Olly, and then I heard her scream my name. She has had the s**t beaten out of her, but we won’t know more until she wakes up.”

Mum and Dad show up a few minutes later, and we waited. A nurse brings me clean clothes and I go shower quickly and dress. And then we waited some more. Finally, Dr Phillips came out of the door they had taken Star through.

“Alphas, Luna. Miss Anderson has been badly beaten. Her head injuries are severe, they hit her with something heavy and with massive force on the side of her head, causing her brain to swell. She also sustained an impact on the front of her head just above her eye, fracturing her eye socket and her nose.”

“They also hit her on the back, breaking several ribs. From the Bruise, it was something large and round. My nurse thinks maybe a frying pan, because there are splash burns down her arms and grease on her clothes. We need to operate immediately. They are prepping her now. We will need to put her in an induced coma for the next 24 hours to allow her time to heal. I can sense her wolf, but she is weak. Trying to keep Star alive is really taking it out of her.”

“The surgery will take several hours. I won’t tell you to go home, but maybe investigate and get some answers. Her aunt was in a couple of hours ago with fat burns, if that helps.”

And he rushes back to my baby. She had better be OK. “They were f*****g warned. I told them what would happen to anyone who hurts her, now they are going to die.”

“Ace honey, please calm down. We need to do this by the book. Andrew get the medical report on Clementine. We need it as evidence. Boys, can I trust you not to rip anyone’s head off until we have investigated properly?

All three of us nod in agreement. “Great, let’s go then, Lexi, link your warriors to meet us there. Come on, boys.”

When we get to Star’s house, mum knocks on the door, a very drunk Clementine opens the door and sneers at mum, “Well, well, well if it isn’t our Luna. What can us lowly omegas do for her highness? If you want the brat, she’s not here.”

The smell of bleach and Star’s b***d is overpowering. Mum sniffs the air, then grabs Clementine by the neck and throws her at the feet of a warrior, “take her to the cells.” She then walks into the house. Graham stumbles to his feet. “What the f**k do you w…. oooffff”

Mum cuts him off with a kick to the nuts that makes my eyes water. She then drags him towards the door. I see Sebastian making a run for the back door, but he flew into the kitchen as my dad walked in through the back. Now both males are thrown into the garden by my parents. I look at them both with pride and admiration.

“So you didn’t need us at all, huh?” Mum grins at me. “You forget, your dad and I are still the most feared warrior couple around.”

We enter the house and find all the evidence we need. I followed Star’s scent up to the attic and I am disgusted that my girl lived there. I linked Kurtis and Jonah and asked them to bring their girls and pack Star’s stuff and put it in one of our rooms. She is never stepping foot in this house again.

When I get outside, Dad and Ace are both on the phone. I stand next to Ash and he puts his arm around my shoulder. Ace walks over and joins us. “I have let Maxine know; she is going to get Suzie and meet us at the hospital.”

s**t, I didn’t even think of them. “Good, Kurtis and Jonah are going to come and pack all her stuff and put in one of our rooms. She is going to need some stuff. Her room is practically empty. Our girl is going to have the best of everything from now on.”

Dad ends his call and walks over to join us.

“The council has given us free rain with the adults, but we need more information on the kid. I would like them to suffer a bit, give them a couple of days of withdrawal, and then we can ask Star what she wants us to do, but she is your mate, so it’s your decision.”

I look at my brothers, and we all agree with Dad. I want to see them in pain. We headed back to the hospital and waited. It’s not long before Dr Phillips comes to us.

“The surgery went really well. As I said, we have put her in an induced coma. The next 48 hours are critical. Her other injuries are healing nicely, but her wolf is still very weak. I am concerned about the historical injuries. She has been the victim of abuse for a long time, broken fingers and toes, and the scaring on her back. You need to make sure she doesn’t return to those conditions.”

we all nod “Doc, she is our mate. She won’t feel it till her birthday next Saturday, but anything we can do to help, we will do. We would also like one of us to be here at all times, so she is not alone.”

He smiles at me. “She is so close to her birthday that she may already feel the start of the bond. Her wolf definitely will, so you being with her will help her a lot, get your wolves to connect to hers. It will give her strength.”

“I will arrange for a bed to be put beside hers for you. Hold her hand, talk to her. It will give her something to hold on to. You can see her now, but I ask no more than three at a time, OK?”

He leads us to her room. She is so still, her head is wrapped in bandages. I walked over to her bed and gently held her hand.

“Please Hold on my darling, I can’t lose you, so fight.”

The three of us sit around her bed, willing her to pull through.
