The Alpha Wants Everything Book 1 The King's Queen
Chapter 38: We aren’t done yet!

Kane made it to the pack house minutes before the medical van did, he stood there in basketball shorts waiting for it to show up. Her blood coated his hands, his face. Members of the pack stood close by watching to see what was happening. Damon ran from the pack house towards the medical wing as soon as he saw his Alpha.

“What happened?” He asked, seeing the blood that coated him.

“Someone attacked her, I want them found” Kane barked out, he could see the van coming down the driveway moving fast and the doctor was waiting by the medical door with a team of nurses.

As the doors to the back of the van burst open she was already being brought out.

“Tell me” the doctor barked.

“Large laceration across her back, lung on the right side keeps collapsing and she’s coughing up blood, she was conscious for a bit but we couldn’t keep her. She’s lost a lot of blood” James was yelling out as they ran towards the medical wing.

“Get her prepped for the OR NOW!” The doctor was running beside the gurney.

Kane followed behind with Damon in tow, he tried to go past the operating doors but they wouldn’t allow him, Damon grabbed a hold of him, only to be thrown into one of the walls. He didn’t stay down long before he was back trying to hold Kane.

“You can’t help her right now, she needs medical attention you’ll just be in the way” Johnny, Lacey and Kenneth showed up at the same time, keeping Lacey outside Johnny and Kenneth jumped into the mix. All trying to hold him down, a loud growl ripped through the waiting room, only when he stopped struggling, stopped trying to fight, they let him go.

Kane slowly stood up, and when he turned glowing azure blue eyes stared back at everyone.

“Where?”

“The deep woods” Johnny replied, without another word Ky moved towards the door, with Damon and Kenneth behind him, their own wolves at the surface ready for what comes next. Johnny told Lacey to stay here, kissed her goodbye and joined his Alpha in the hunt. Lacey wanted him to stay, she tried to get him to stay, but he insisted he had to go, this was their Luna. Even if Kane told him to stay, he would have still gone. Shifting once again Ky headed for the deep woods, the others behind him doing their best to keep up. The pounding of their feet sounded like thunder through the woods. A storm was coming and whoever got in their way would feel the wrath of it.

“Where is he Carter?” Kane demanded,

“Heading towards the river” came Carter’s reply,

“You haven’t caught him yet” Kane questioned,

“We’re….playing with him. I heard you can kill somebody by scaring them to death and we wanted to see if it was true” Kane could hear Carter’s amusement at this. Seems several of his pack members enjoy the act of revenge as much as him.

“He’ll wish you killed him” Kane moved in the direction of the river.

Shifting back into their human forms and pulling on basketball shorts they waited in the brush by the river. They could smell him coming, his fear was ripe and overpowering it almost overpowered the scent of his blood, maybe there was some truth to death by fear. Carter and Marco had him terrified with the game of chase they were playing. Kane picked up a branch and as the man was about to run past them he swung, making the connection with the man across the chest, taking him clean off his feet. Let the games really begin. Clutching his chest the man tried to breath and struggled trying to get to his feet. Taking in his appearance, his pants were coated in mud, his shirt was ripped, he had a huge gash down his left side and he was missing a shoe. Kane could see the blood coming from one of his arms, it appears one of his boys also tried to take a chunk out of him.

“Wh-what th-the he-hel-hell?” He looked up as Kane hit him with the branch again splitting his cheek open.

“What the hell indeed?” He said. The man saw the other three exit the woods and he looked to them for help.

“You’re barking up the wrong tree friend, if you think we’re here to help you” Johnny said carrying his own branch, he swung connecting with the man’s back, he screamed out in pain.

“Why?” He gasped out.

“Because of what you did?” Kane brought his branch down across the man’s knee, eliciting another scream of pain.

“What did I do?” He cried out, trying to crawl away from them.

“You hurt the love of my life” Kane kicked him in the ribs hearing a crunch.

“Ooo….I think you broke something brother,” Johnny said.

“I’m gonna break a lot more,” Kane said with a wicked smile.

“I didn’t hurt anybody!” He screamed at them.

“You didn’t visit a warehouse recently” Johnny asked, as Kane grabbed hold of the man’s hair and pulled his head back to look him in the eye

“Don’t lie, I can smell her blood all over you” realization washed over the man’s face. They all knew what he did and they were here for pay back.

“He said no one would care, she had no one.” Kane pulled him to his feet.

“He was WRONG!” Throwing him to Damon who landed a couple of hits to his stomach before pushing him towards Kenneth who closed lined him with a branch.

“Who is he?” Johnny asked, pulling him to his feet again he shook his head.

The man spat out blood as he stood there wobbling on his one good leg shaking his head.

“I don’t know” he said,

“High-low!” Kane said, swinging high as Johnny swung low, Kane connected with his chest as Johnny took out the same leg Kane hit from before. The man landed on his back gasping for air. Damon picked him back up.

“Easy there friend, we aren’t done yet” Damon got him stable on his feet again.

“Who is he?” Kane asked the question again.

“Carl!” He gurgled out, blood dripping from his mouth “Carl Whitekar!”

They circled him, Kenneth swung connecting with his back and he fell forward, but they wouldn’t let him go down, Johnny pushed him back up.

“He wanted a message delivered” he staggered back Damon landing two hits to his back pushed him forward.

“What message?” Kane asked, grabbing him by the front of his shirt.

“He was gonna finish what he started three years ago, he’ll be out Sunday and she’ll be dead by Monday.” Kane threw him back into Kenneth and Damon’s arms. He looked at the branch he was holding.

“We like messages too” he said and swung connecting with his good leg, the man screamed out in pain.

“Work the limbs brother” Damon held out the man’s arm.

“How silly of me” Kane said as he brought the branch down on his forearm causing him to scream out again as they all heard the sickening snap of the bone, Johnny cracked his branch across the man’s back, no longer able to hold his own weight anymore Damon and Kenneth let him drop to the ground.

“Wh-what mes-mess-message?” He asked,

“It’ll be clear when we’re done with you,” Kane said, connecting his branch with the side of the man’s head. “And we’ll deliver it personally”

“Our friend doesn’t look so good” Johnny said, poking him with what was left of his branch, the man was still breathing but was no longer conscious. Carter and Marco joined the party, they had been watching from a distance not wanting to interfere, they only approached in their wolf form when the man went down. They circled him looking at the condition of his body, they didn’t go easy on him and it didn’t look like they broke a sweat doing it. Laying down they waited for their next orders. The blood that coated Carter’s muzzle made it clear which one took the bite out of him. Wonder which one stole his shoe? Ky asked.

It had been a few hours since she was brought in and they hadn’t heard anything from Lacey. Johnny tried asking her if she knew anything but she said no, it just seemed like more nurses were constantly running back there. But one of the doctors did confirm her pregnancy.

“Any news?” Damon asked,

“Not regarding Luna,” Johnny replied grimly, he looked over at Kane who stood away from the others.

“But there is news?” Kenneth arched his eyebrow.

“Lacey had her pregnancy confirmed.” He was happy, but it was hard to show it considering the circumstances.

“Hey, congratulations brother.” Damon smacked him on the back, Johnny just nodded and looked again at Kane who moved towards the river to clean the blood off of him. He wanted to be ready and by her side the second she was out of the operating room. He waded into the river till he was chest deep and let the coldness surround him, let it push into him. He stood against it as it tried to wash him away and for the briefest of moments he thought about letting it. He was nothing if he didn’t have her, he would crumble if he lost her. He held his breath and dipped below the water allowing it to wash the blood from his body, he stayed under until he couldn’t hold his breath any longer. When he emerged he could hear Johnny yelling his name, but he ignored him, moving back towards the bank of the river.

“The fuck brother?” Johnny said,

“It’s fine!” Kane went to walk by him.

“The fuck it’s fine!” Johnny grabbed his shoulder.

“Leave it alone Johnny.” Kane growled, shrugging his shoulder out of Johnny’s grasp.

“Fuck you!” Johnny pushed him.

“Don’t push me!” Kane pushed him back and started walking away.

“Don’t push me away again,” Johnny pushed him from behind causing him to stumble forward. Kane whipped around, they stared at each other, neither one backing down.

“Don’t do that” Johnny snarled,

“Fuck you!” Kane growled,

“No, fuck you” Johnny growled back,

“You don’t know anything” Kane snapped,

“I know enough, to know that’s not what she would want” Johnny pushed,

“You leave her outta this” Kane snarled,

“This is all about her” Johnny yelled,

“Shut up!”

“Make me!”

Growling could be heard all around them, then Kane lunged, tackling Johnny to the ground. Fists flew from both sides as they rolled around in the dirt. Kenneth went to step in, but Damon pulled him back.

“He won’t kill him, you and I, maybe. Johnny no” he said shaking his head, Kenneth still looked concerned. Damon just leaned back against a tree and watched the scene unfold.

“Are you sure?” Kenneth asked him.

“Yup! What you see is two brothers venting, letting it all out and leaving it on the forest floor. You might have noticed they don’t have the normal Alpha Beta relationship.” Kenneth nodded.

“Johnny might be the Beta, but he’s Kane’s brother first, they’ll go to bat for each other every time, so yeah I am sure Kane won’t kill him. They’ll just beat the piss out of each other.” Damon kicked the ground.

“You sound….” Damon held up a hand,

“Water under the bridge brother, I wasn’t the son of Gamma.” Damon said like that would explain it all when he noticed the confusion on Kenneth’s face he continued.

“When we were younger, we were thick as thieves, and got into all sorts of….troubles. Kane always said when he became Alpha, Johnny would be his Beta and I would be his Gamma, so you can imagine how much it pissed Kane off when the title was passed to Charles, he knew it should have been me, hell Charles knew it should have been me. I took off for two years” Damon said,

“Rogue?” Kenneth looked at him.

“Lone wolf! When I came back he welcomed me back to the pack with no questions asked, no hesitation. Been loyal ever since. Ain’t so bad being a Delta, at least now I gotta a Luna to protect”

“Gamma position ever cam…”

“I’d take it in a heartbeat” Damon said, and he went to check on their little friend.

Kane kneed Johnny in the chest and dropped him to the floor, he again went to walk away only for Johnny to lunge at him and they went crashing deeper into the woods. Branches broke and small trees snapped under them as they threw each other around some more. Kane had finally pinned Johnny to the floor, sitting on his chest he started throwing punches to the face.

“I know about the fifth test,” Johnny said through the mind link.

Kane’s fist stopped inches from his face, releasing the growl he had been holding and slamming it into a tree, shattering the trunk, bark flying in all directions.

“Sounded painful,” Johnny laughed, then coughed, then groaned, blood poured from his nose, his lip was split and his eye was already starting to blacken.

“We had a fight about it, I tried to force her to take it,” Kane said,

“How’d that go for you?” Johnny coughed, then groaned again.

“She stormed into the loft and said she was staying there, and that I and everyone else should go home” Kane ran his hands through his hair.

“It’s not your fault you know” Kane narrowed his eyes at him, his top lip curling “It’s not, this could have easily happened on Saturday when we’re in New York, or it could have happened before you two even met, or you could have listened and left, this is Carl’s fault, no one else’s” Kane let that sink in, Johnny was right, this was Carl’s fault, and Carl was going to pay for it.

“Hey! Don’t take this the wrong way, but get your fat ass off me, you weigh as much as a house,” Johnny choked out “How have you not crushed that poor girl yet?”

“Your ass is fatter than mine” Kane stood up, holding out his hand for Johnny to take.

“I think you broke my nose” Kane reached over and popped it back into to place, Johnny let out a growl “You fucking son of a bitch!”

“There, I fixed it!” and Kane started walking back towards the others.

“Hey! Our little friend is waking up” Damon called to them. The man tried to sit up and the first thing he saw were two giant wolves, Carter’s wolf Milo a white and grey with glowing ice blue eyes, and Marco’s wolf Alejandro a reddish brown with glowing amber eyes.

“Mmm-mmo-monsters!’ He screamed as Kane came out of the woods.

“They’re not monsters….they’re family. The only monster here is you and your kind” he said crouching down in between Alejandro and Milo.

“Though I think they are a little hungry” Alejandro huffed, shaking his head “I guess they have a discerning taste, they don’t eat low lives” Kane stood up and walked over and picked up the branch he was using from before.

“I think it’s time to end this” the man’s eyes widened just as Kane was about to bring the branch down across his face he stopped and took off running into the forest towards the pack house.

“What the fuck?” Johnny in his head.

“She’s out” Kane replied,

“Thank the Goddess” Johnny breathed a sigh of relief,

“Let Carter and Marco finish their game….after you boys have had some fun” Kane said,

“You need another shower” Johnny said laughing,

“The fuck Johnny?” Damon asked,

“She’s out of the operating room” Johnny said,

“Well aren’t you a lucky man” Kenneth said to the man,

“He’ll need another shower” Damon added,

“We get to have a little more fun with him, then Milo and Alejandro can finish playing their game with him, what was it tug-o-war?” Milo pawed at the ground nodding his head, Alejandro joined in, causing them to laugh.

“I like these boys, they know how to have a good time” Damon grinned “First to rip off a limb is the winner?”

“I’ll get in on that” Kenneth said,

“$20 on Milo” Johnny added they all turned to look at the man, he was trying to pull himself away with one arm.

Kane made it back to the medical center, he heard what Johnny said about the shower he was covered in dirt, blood and he had leaves and twigs in his hair, but he didn’t care he needed to see her. Not even waiting for the doctor to bring him to her room he started hunting for her. The smell of antiseptic and disinfectant flooded his senses, he couldn’t smell her. Relying on the pull of the bond he searched the hospital heading in whatever direction he felt the strongest pull from. Checking all the rooms as he passed them. Where is she? Ky whimpered. We’ll replace her! He passed a room that looked like it just had machines in it, until he felt the tingles rocket over his body. He stopped and looked in the room, the closer he got to it the stronger the sensation of the tingles became. Opening the door and stepping in, his body hummed to life, then he saw her. She looked so small, so fragile in that great big bed. Wires and tubes coming from her, machines beeped and dripped. Her body was bandaged, her face was bruised and she had a cast on her arm. He moved closer to her, he reached out to touch her.

“Don’t touch her” the doctor said from behind him “I’m sorry Alpha, but we can’t risk infection. I’m not sure her body can take anymore than it already has” Kane dropped his hand to his side.

“How bad?” He wasn’t sure he wanted to know.

“It looks worse, most of the machines are just for her vital signs. The hit she sustained to the left side of her face fractured her cheek and orbital bones and caused minor swelling in the left hemisphere of her frontal lobe. Not to mention bursting a few blood vessels in her eye. Our concern is one of three things the ribs she fractured at the beginning of the week punctured her right lung in three separate areas, we assume when she hit the ground she landed on her right side, she also broke her wrist in the fall,

“The second is the laceration down the back, it started shallow and finished deep. It shows hesitation marks, but whoever did it, got braver and bolder the further down her back he got, we are keeping an eye on her lower back, but he didn’t hit any vital organs.” The doctor explained.

“What’s the third thing?” He asked

“This is where our main concern lies, blood loss. She lost a lot. When she wakes up she’ll be weak and will need to take it easy, we’ll also remove the breathing tube then” Kane breathed a sigh of relief looking at the doctor.

“She’s a fighter, she’ll come through this, we had to sedate her after she tried to pull the breathing tube out and hit one of the nurses.” The doctor gave him a reassuring smile.

“That’s my girl!” Kane said, a smile across his face.

“The hit she sustained to the side of her face was the initial one, she didn’t have time to react before it happened, so when she woke up from the anesthesia, she was groggy, but her fight instinct took over and she thought she was fighting off her attacker. If you would like to go get cleaned up, when you come back there will be a bed in here for you” the doctor was about to leave the room.

“Is she pregnant?” Kane asked, looking back at her.

“No!” He left Kane standing there, he wasn’t sure if he was relieved by that news or not. He stood there a little longer watching her, before he left.

Kane walked out of the medical wing as Johnny and the others walked out of the woods. They were laughing and joking around. Marco and Carter had shifted back, blood and dirt coated their faces and chests.

“You boys look like you enjoyed yourselves” Kane said, taking in their appearances.

“Carter won me $20 bucks,” Johnny said grinning.

“The boy is absolutely vicious” Damon laughed “Never thought the leg would come off first”

“Now you owe them dinner,” Kenneth reminded Damon. Seems they had a real good time. “We sent a crew to clean up.”

“I hope they can replace all of him” Damon feigned concern, causing them all to laugh.

“All of him?” Kane arched an eyebrow,

“Best two out of three, and Marco tried to bury part of him before Kenneth caught him” Johnny said, though the merriment still danced in his eyes, a brief sickness washed over him at the thought of something buried and decaying on the property.

“Was he dead first before you started ripping body parts off?” Kane asked, glancing over at Marco.

“He was after Carter took his leg” Damon rubbed his chin “I can’t say he was before that” Kane just nodded as they headed towards the pack house.

“Double or nothing says you boys ain’t stepping foot in that house” Damon said, they all shook their heads, they knew a sucker’s bet when they heard one. Lacey stood on the front step hand on her hip pointing towards the back of the house.

Damon just walked past her, when she went to say something to him, his top lip just curled and his eyes flashed green. She might be Johnny’s mate and Kane’s sister, but he refused to listen to anything she said. Lacey’s eyes widened when she took in the sight of Carter and Marco. She might have pointed to the back of the house, but they walked past her and headed to Carter’s cabin to get cleaned up. Neither one of them wanted her anywhere near them.

In a fresh set of clothes, Kane headed back to the medical wing when Johnny caught up to him.

“How is she?” He asked, walking with him.

“She’s a fighter. Fractured cheek and orbital bones, broken wrist, three punctures in her lung. The laceration down her back thankfully missed any vital organs, but she lost a lot of blood” Kane replied.

“Holy Fuck! How much more does that poor girl have to go through?” Johnny said, shaking his head “We pulled this off our friend” Johnny reached into his pocket and pulled out her necklace handing it to Kane. He held it in his hand, looking at it, this could have been the last thing he had of hers.

“Don’t think it man. You said it yourself she’s a fighter” Johnny said grabbing hold of his shoulder. Kane swallowed hard and just nodded his head, his mate was a hell of a fighter, she went through so much and she wasn’t done yet.

“Was she?” Johnny asked, interrupting his thoughts.

“No!” Kane shook his head.

“Not even fate would be that cruel” Johnny repeated Ky’s statement from earlier.

“It’s cruel enough” Kane agreed,

“Go see your girl, she’s probably throat punched the doctor by now” Johnny chuckled.

“They sedated her, she tried to hit a nurse” Kane laughed as well.

“That’s our Luna” Johnny laughed louder.

“Would you say Kenneth has proved himself?” Kane asked, on a more serious note when the laughter subsided.

“I would say he has. He’s been a blast to have around here” Johnny said nodding his head.

“And Marco?” Still walking in the direction of the medical ward.

“After seeing him shake a man’s arm clean off his body, I would say he fits with this crew, why?” Johnny was curious.

“With the merger of Hillcrest pending, it provides an opportunity to correct a wrong” Kane replied.

“Not sure I follow” Johnny looked at him a little confused as to where Kane was going with this.

“Kenneth has expressed an interest in Hillcrest, he has informed me that he and Marco are a package deal” Kane explained.

“I thought Charles was going to Hillcrest?” Johnny asked,

“Kenneth brought up an interesting point, maybe sending Charles to a more established faction of the pack would be better, than sending him to one that needs….grooming.” Kane replied.

“What about Jackson? You said he could keep his second in command position” Johnny arched an eyebrow as he asked the question.

“True, but I never said where, send him to New York as well, to be Charles’s second” Kane replied with a grin.

“Leaving you with an open third in command spot, that should have rightfully gone to Damon” now understanding, Johnny was grinning as well.

“You and I both know it should have been him from the beginning” Kane looked at Johnny.

“Never really liked Charles’s mate anyway, and I’m pretty sure she used to be Damon’s regular Thursday night” Johnny shook his head

“I do believe that was pack house gossip brother. But I do agree Sabrina is….we’ll just leave it at that” Kane nodded in agreement.

Making it back to her room and like the doctor said there was a bed waiting for him. Johnny left him at the door and went to go replace Lacey after she used the mind link to call him. He walked in and he noticed some of the machines that were in there before had been removed, she still had wires and tubes connected to her, but it wasn’t as alarming as it was the first time he saw her. He sat on the bed they provided him, taking her hand in his, he leaned forward and pressed his lips to her palm.

“I’m sorry baby, I’m sorry I pushed you to take that stupid test. I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you needed me. I’m sorry I failed to protect you. I made a promise that no one would ever hurt you again and I didn’t keep it. I will do better, I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe, you’re my always and forever.” He felt her fingers lightly graze his cheek, when he looked up her eyes were barely open.

“Baby!” A flood of excitement washed over him as he stared into her cerulean blue eyes. He wanted to hold her, touch her, take her in his arms but he couldn’t, he leaned over her bed and kissed the right side of her face, pressing the call button for the doctor.

Her right eye opened more but her left still remained. They never left him though, he could see the tears lining the bottom of the lids. She struggled to move, but she winced at the pain, she wanted his arms around her holding her, keeping her safe. She wanted the tube removed, she had to tell him something, it was important and he needed to know right now, he had to stop her from trying to pull it out.

“I know baby, the doctor will be here soon to take it out.” Kane held her hand, she wanted it out now. Kane hit the call button again, they better move their asses and get here now, he didn’t like seeing her suffer. Her eyes pleaded with him to take it out.

“Soon baby soon, just hold on” he didn’t want to risk going to replace a doctor and have her pull it herself.

“Get a doctor in here NOW!” Kane commanded through the link.

Three doctors came rushing into the room as soon as he bellowed, looking worried.

“Take it out!” Kane demanded pointing at the breathing tube. One of the doctors started to protest

“NOW!” Kane boomed. One of the other doctors grabbed her chart, and saw that it was to be removed when she woke up. He moved silently but quickly to the bed, he listened to her breathing and when he was satisfied that she no longer needed it in, using a small suction tool he cleared her throat of any debris, removed the tape and deflated the cuff that kept it in place.

“Ok, take a deep breath, and then exhale” he said, holding onto the tube. She took as deep of a breath as she could and released it and he pulled the tube from her windpipe. She started coughing, but every time she did it caused her pain, Kane and the doctor carefully sat her up, to allow for a deeper breath. The doctor listened to her lungs again and had her take a few more deep breaths.

“Your throat is going to be sore, and speaking might be difficult for a bit, don’t push yourself” He also checked the laceration on her back and the incision they made when they needed to repair the damage to her lungs. Said he would have a nurse come in to clean and change the dressings and her doctor would be in shortly to check on her. Kane only nodded his head, as she clung to his shirt. He sat on her bed, doing his best to hold her in a way that wouldn’t cause her any more pain.

Her body shook and she would whimper as the tears rolled down her cheeks, her good hand clutching his shirt tighter. He held her as close as he could, kissing her head,

“I’m sorry baby, I’m so sorry” he repeated to her over and over again. She shook her head and pointed to herself trying to tell him she was sorry.

“I love you!” It came out in a hushed whisper, but he heard her, the same warmth he felt in the kitchen flooded through him stronger than before. He kissed her forehead, down the right side of her face landing on her lips.

“I love you so much” he said against her lips, the warmth flooded through her and she let out a gasp at the feeling of it.

“Don’t stop”

“Never baby, never. You’re stuck with me” he kissed her again harder.

The sound of someone clearing their throat, interrupted them. He released a low hushed growl, but he looked over his shoulder to see a nurse standing there. She was holding a few supplies to clean and change her bandages, but the scowling expression on her face said she wasn’t too happy to be there. Kane didn’t want her there either, he would watch closely how she did it, then he could take care of it himself. He didn’t want anyone else touching her. Kane moved off the bed, as the nurse stepped forward, she was a little rough when she opened the back of Dax’s hospital gown, and when she pulled off the old bandage, causing her to wince a little.

“Careful” Kane growled. She pulled out an amber bottle, which Kane recognized, it was the same stuff he put on her knee.

“Is that necessary?” He asked, concern laced in his voice. It would burn like hell.

“Yes! Unless you want her to get an infection” the bedside manner of this nurse was disturbing. Maybe this was the nurse Dax tried to hit, but it still didn’t make sense, that bottle was used in the field when they couldn’t get to the medical ward fast. Before Kane could stop her, she dumped a large quantity on the laceration across Dax’s back. The pain that shot across her back was excruciating and it stole her breath away. She grabbed onto him gasping for air, he held her tight to his chest, trying to ease the pain as best he could. With his free hand he grabbed the nurse around the throat, crushing it. The doctor came running in, just as the nurses lifeless body hit the floor, his eyes went wide as he saw liquid flowing down her back, grabbing a bottle of saline wash and a clean cloth, he tried his best to stop the liquid from spreading anymore while he washed off what was already on her back. He hit the emergency button and four more nurses rushed into the room. He started barking orders at them and they all moved, there was a flurry of hands and an oxygen mask was placed over her face.

“Get her to breathe,” the doctor told Kane. Listening he focused his attention on her

“Breathe baby, just breathe” he helped her take deep breaths, she let out soft cries that he was sure if she could have would have been screams. She felt a pinch in her arm, then her world started getting hazy, her eyes closed, and the last thing she heard was the doctor telling Kane it was for the best.
