Kadien Aramond cracked her eyes open at the sound of her ring tone filling the space of her bedroom. Grumbling and glancing at the clock she reached blindly on the nightstand for device that was the bane of her existence at this point in time.
"'Lo" She mumbled rubbing her eyes. It was 1 in the morning and someone had better be dead or dieing to have woken her up.
"Kade honey I'm sorry ta wake you, but old man Wexler hit a dog with his truck a few minutes ago. He says he doesn't think the animal will make it to morning without you." the voice of Sherrif Johnson came over the phone.
"How far from the clineck are they? Kade said throwing the covers off and sliding out of her bed, pulling a pair of worn jeans on, and throwing a sweatshirt over her cami. Exiting her bedroom, stoping long enough to slide her sneakers onto her feet she left her house and jumped into her truck to make the ten minute drive to her vetenary clinick.
"He's about 15 minutes out Kade. Hit the thing on the old road to his house." The sherref replied before hanging up.
Kade made the 10 mintue drive to the clinic thankful that there were no other cars on the road and hopped out of her truck, unlocking the door flipping lights on as she went. She made her way to her operating room fairly certain that she was going to have to be doing some type of surgery on the animal if it wasn't going to live until morning for old man Wexler to bring it in, setting up her tools and moving out to the front of the clinic to wait.
She blocked her eyes as headlights flooded the front of the clinic and hurried out the door to assist the older gentalman who was bringing her pacient in. She opened the back door to his car and sucked in her breath, taking in the sight of the large dark brown dog with a white ear laying on its side in the seat a 15 inch gash running down its side to low on its belly and another large gash across its hind leg. She noted the strips of cloth tied over its mouth in a makeshift muzzle and the way it eyed her warily as she approached.
"Kadie honey Im sorry I didn't see him run out into the road." Mr Wexler said gently lifting the dog oout of his car and carrying it into her clinic despite the vicouis growling that started the moment the dog was picked up.
"Its ok accidents happen." Kade said leading the man into the operating room. "Put him up on the table and let me sedate him and then you can get on home." She said moving to a cabnet and taking out a small vial and a syrenge, quickly filling it and moving back toward the old man and the dog.
The animal started growling at her as soon as it saw the needle and attempted to stand but Mr. Wexler leaned his weight down on its neck and held it still for Kade to administer the seditive to it.
"Ok that will work fast theres no reason for you to stay go ahead home." Kade said smiling at the older gentalman walking with him to the clinic door.
"I'm real sorry about this Kadie." Mr Wexler said turning at the sound of a wolf howling that sounded very close.
"Its fine, really. Now let me go patch the poor thing up." Kade smiled at the older man and watched as he got into his car and drove off, before she locked the clinic doors and went back to the dog in her operating room, seeing that the seditive had worked and the animal was limp on her table. He looked almost like a wolf, but if she had to guess she would say he was some kind of malamute mix.
She striped off her sweat shirt and got a pair of gloves on and moved her x-ray machine over top of the animal and quickly made sure there wasn't anything internal that she had to deal with, before grabing her clippers and very carefully shaving the area around both of the dogs wounds. Once the area was cleared of fur she gently cleansed it, picking out the pits of rock and twig that had been embedded into the wounds and threaded a needle to start closing the larger wound on the animals side.
It took her a good half hour of careful stitching to close the large wound, and she finally knoted the thread and snipped it off, setting the needle down for a moment, noting that the dog wasn't fixed. She would take care of that once she finished closing the other wound on its leg, and she stretched her body up groaning at the popping sounds in her back, and started on closing the smaller wound.
A large sandy colored wolf and an even larger black wolf moved silently through the woods outside the animal clinic both snaping at each other undecided on how to get in there to get Seth back. Stupid pup had run right out in front of a car and gotten himself hit and the driver had packed him up and taken him off before the two alphas had reached the road.
They had followed the car to the clinic and watched as the old man had carried their boy inside with a small woman following behind. Dean had howled a warning to them to let go of their beta, but it had gone unheeded, and they had decided to wait until the humans had left before breaking in to get Seth out.
"She isn't coming out." Roman growled after shifting back to his human form, the loose shorts he had been wearing when the three of them left the house reapeaing low on his hips and he didn't bother to pull them up at all. "We have to get him with her in there."
"Fuck Rome you know we cant let a human see us." Dean growled pacing once he had shifted back also and pulled his shorts a little higher on his hips.
"And what happens when Seth shifts in front of her? Does that count as her seeing us?" Roman growled starting for the building with Dean falling in behind, for once not argueing with his partner.
Dean shook his head when Roman shifted his hand into his wear form, his huge claws easily cutting cleanly through the glass on the front door of the clinic in a circle large enough for him to fit his human hand through and he reached in and fliped the lock letting the two alpha wears inside the clinic.
Roman stopped and shut the door flipping the lock once more and shut his eyes inhaling deeply trying to scent their beta. His eyes snapped open and he growled at the scents invading his nose, two of them calling to his inner were when only one should have.
"You get it too?" He snarled at Dean who had a dumbstruck look on his face.
"Yes. What the fuck, she isn't were." Dean growled moving silently though the clinic and locating the room their beta was in, leaning in the doorframe watching the small woman work on Seth. He saw that an xray had already been preformed and was up on a computer screen and was thankful that their beta didn't have any internal injuries. Stupid pup better never run away from them like he had tonight again or he would be sore for a month.
The larger of the gashed on Seths body had already been stitched closed and the girl was bet over working on his leg, and Dean felt his mouth water taking in her figure. The black cami shirt and jeans she wore shoed off a figure that had him drooling; Full breast, small waist, rounded hips, toned legs, firm ass, aubern hair pulled into a ponytail on top of her head.
Roman was next to Dean having similer thoughts about the small woman taking care of their beta, his hands clenching into fists in an effort not to tear the woman away from Seth. Or maybe it was an effort to not tear her away from Seth throw her across the table, strip her and make her their beta also. He let a low growl out when she straightend up and moaned when her back popped, and if Dean hadn't grabbed his arm he was pretty sure he would have taken the woman then and there.
Kade finished stitching up the second gash on the animals leg and straightend up again her back popping once more reminding her that there was a reason ther tables adjusted in hight and she shouldn't be leaning over like she had been. She groaned again, and stiffened when she heard a low growl fill the operating room, her eyes snapping up to the face of the dog on her operating table, seeing his eyes were still closed.
The hairs on the back of her neck stood up and she reached for a scalpal from the tray of instraments next to her, hoping that her movemnets seemed natural and she wasn't reaching for a weapon to defend herself. Her hand closed over the blade and she turned, holding it in front of her and her eyes went wide at the sight of two very large men leaning in the doorway to the exam room.
The smaller of the two, but only by an inch or so had shaggy short blond hair and blue eyes, was very well muscled. The larger had long black hair, and a tribal looking tatto covering one arm and half his chest, and he was looking at her like he wanted to eat her. Both men were wearing what looked like basket ball shorts low on their hips and nothing else. Logicly she knew if they attacked her she wouldn't stand a chance, but she wouldn't go down without a fight if it came to that. And she hoped it wouldn't come to that.
"C-can I help you?" She asked, her voice shaking and she gripped the scapul like it was a life line.
"You have our…Dog." Dean said motioning to where Seth was laying on the table behind her.
