Chapter 7

Third Person POV

*3 days later*

The entire pack was on edge not knowing what would become of their little spitfire, Bellona. As of now, the doctors were still unsure what exactly was keeping her from waking up, all they knew was that she was stuck in a coma. No one knew when or if she would wake up.

The Alpha and Beta, Jeremy, had successfully arranged a meeting with the council and a meeting with all surrounding Alphas to discuss current events.

"When will the council members be arriving?" the Alpha inquired his Beta.

"They are expected to be here within the next 3 hours, Alpha." Jeremy bowed his head slightly, showing respect for his Alpha and leader.

"Very good. Please ensure everything is in order and that all the information we have about the rouge attack and Bell's condition is ready for them to review." he nodded dismissing Jeremy.

With a sigh, the alpha rubbed his temples trying to relieve the ache from all the stress due to the current events. Why couldn't this just be a simple rouge attack? He thought to himself. Deciding it was best to help with the preparations for the councils' arrival, the Alpha gathered himself and went to see what still needed to be done.

Meanwhile, Jeremy set off to finish the reports of the rouge attack and the information they had found out a Bellona for the council. He could not help but feel guilty at the fact she was still in a coma, possibly because of the things he decided to say to her about her grandfather. Jeremy put his elbows on the table and put his head into his hands, unsure of what to do. If only I would have been more specific with her... she would not have gotten so worked up... He thought to himself, remembering the conversation he had with her. You see when Jeremy told Bellona that she would not find her grandfather he did not mean for her to interpret it as if he was dead. No, Jeremy just meant that she would not have found him where he knew she was going to go look for him, which would have been outside of the hospital wing of the packhouse. With another sigh Jeremy stood and exited his office, deciding to go check on his dearest old friend.

Walking into the hospital room, Jeremy's heart restrained at the sight in front of him. There was his best friend lying in a hospital looking so lifeless the only thing showing he was still there was the sound of the heart monitor and the rise and fall of his chest. Jeremy walked to the chair set next to the bed and sat down in the same place he had been for the past 2 days when he visited.

"Will, I'm worried about Bell, she still hasn't woken up. the council is on their way here to talk about the rouge attack and Bellona's condition. I wish you would just wake up and explain why she heals that way, so we can all be at ease and not worried out of our minds. I hate seeing either one of you like this. You're the strongest people I know and to see the both of you like this, well it breaks my heart man." Jeremy put his heads in his hands, heaving a sigh to try and control his emotions. Once he had calmed down a bit he leaned back in the chair and tried to think of a way to try and help both his best friend, Will and Bellona.

Suddenly, he had an idea. With hope in his eyes and a smile on his face, he rushed off to the nurses' station.

"Excuse me, ma'am? Who can I talk to about a change of room for a patient?" He asked the first nurse he seen. The nurse looked at him with a raised brow but did not ask any questions.

"That would be our coordinator, Miss Jenny. Go down this hall and her office will be the last one on the left." Jeremy thanked the woman and took off towards Miss Jenny's office, hoping he could convince her to go along with his idea, without having to involve the Alpha or use his Beta command.

Jeremy reached Miss Jenny's office in a matter of minutes. Taking a deep breath, he knocked and waited for her to allow him entrance. After just a few moments she responded to his knock.

"Come in!" she yelled. Jeremy slowly opened the door and scanned the room till his eyes landed on a petite woman. She was very pretty, with light blue eyes, short curly blonde hair, and a cute button nose that fit her small face perfectly. Jeremy was standing there watching the woman fill out paperwork admiring her appearance when her voice broke him out of his thoughts.

"May I help you?" she spoke. Jeremy quickly nodded his head.

"Yes, ma'am sorry. I was wondering if I could ask permission to switch two patient's rooms?" After hearing this Miss Jenny stopped writing and, for the first time, looked up at the Beta with a raised brow and questioning look.

"What would be the reasoning and who are the patients?"

"Head warrior, William, and his granddaughter, Bellona. The reason being I think if we were to move them into the same room that it could potentially help them in the healing process, as they are remarkably close and rely on each other for many things." Jeremy explained. Miss Jenny looked to be in thought while Jeremy sat there squirming in his seat, unsure of what she would say and hoping she would agree. after a few moments, Miss Jenny replied.

"We don't normally allow this kind of thing due to lack of space in the rooms, it makes it harder for the staff to do their jobs." Jeremy stiffened and was beginning to feel defeated until she continued, "However, we can give this a shot, since you are the Beta, and you can make it happen without even asking me. So, thank you for taking the proper channels and making my job much easier." She replied with a smile and sent Jeremy on his way to get the rooms arranged.
