Pink

- Huckyy arrested. I begged Hucky who keeps licking my face.

The heat coming from the fireplace warms Hucky and me. Although I doubt he doesn't need it with that big coat. I feel like this dog is the only one who understands me. This morning, Damien almost ran out. I haven't seen him since. I could have taken the opportunity to run away but I stayed. Because I have one thing that keeps me here. The duty to change Damien. I still don't know how to do it but I know it's possible. And I will do everything for.

Suddenly the door opens on Justin who helps Damien to stay upright.

- Damien! I expressed myself by going close to them.

Justin places him on the chair and goes to get the first aid kit. I sit down next to Damien and observe his wounds. His face, his arms, his neck... they're everywhere.

- What happened ? I asked him worried.

- They attacked us by surprise. There are several injuries but no deaths. He explains to me.

- Go take care of the others, I'll take care of him.

He thanks me and leaves. I lift his t-shirt and wipe all the blood off his chest. I wonder how he can still be alive after losing so much blood. I finish his chest and put a blanket on him. I take care of his neck. It has three large scratches. I imagine that must have hurt a lot. One thing is certain, he would have a lot of scars. I begin to tend to his brow bone when he whispers weakly:

- I couldn't protect them all.

It's the first time I've seen him so weak and it pains me. I don't like to see him like that. He may have made me suffer a lot, but I refuse to let him suffer too. Not in this way anyway.

- Don't think about it now.

- My pack...

- They are fine. Justin told me there was no death.

- I know, I would have felt it.

He opens his eyes that had been kept closed and stares at me intently. When I put disinfectant on his open arch, he moans which makes me smile.

- Stop smiling, it hurts. He said amused without taking his eyes off me.

"If an Alpha can't even take a little pain..." I scoffed as I continued to disinfect the wound.

He smiled weakly. I feel his gaze on me and try not to pay attention. I like it when he smiles.

- Not just any Alpha, the strongest. he adds.

- The strongest...I repeated whispering.

I finish treating him and put the kit in his place.

- You want something ? I asked him on the way back. Because I'm going to go to sleep.

- I want you.

I cock my head to the side and stare.

- Sleep with me.

- But you're hurt.

- It doesn't matter.

I look at Hucky who is lying on the ground near Damien. I don't know why but I accept. After all, the chair is wide enough for both of us. I turn off the light and lie down next to him. He wraps his arm around my stomach and presses me against his chest.

- You're injured Damien! I say walking towards the edge.

- I do not care.

He hugs me again. I think if I don't move, it should go. I lay my head on his arm and enjoy the feeling of security that takes hold of me. I stare at the dancing flames in the fireplace and let sleep take hold of my body.

I wake up slowly. Damien is no longer there. I get up suddenly but sit down again because of back pain. The chair is comfortable but I haven't slept well for fear of hurting her even more. And now I have back pain.

I find Damien sitting on a chair eating. He is the one who prepared all this?

- You are the one who prepared all this? I asked him.

- It's the cook.

Oh yes, of course. I've never seen her because she cooks in another kitchen and she brings the dishes when we're busy. I sit across from him and put on some cereal. Because of my back pain, I change position and sit on my legs.

- What do you have ? he asks me.

- I slept badly. I explained while pouring my milk. And now I have back pain.

I look up to see if his wounds are better. I am shocked to see that he has nothing left.

- Where are your wounds? I asked not coming back.

I did not dream anyway? I woke up on the armchair so no.

- I heal faster than a human. He answers me like it was obvious.

- Hold on ! I nursed you for two hours for nothing?

- No, it was soothing. He said smiling.

I am shocked. I didn't know that was even possible. But why did Justin go get the first aid kit by himself then? And why didn't he tell me? That's too many questions for my brain that just woke up there.

Justin walks into the kitchen, greeting me.

- We caught Tyler. What do we do with it?

- Who is Tyler? I intervene.

- The one who dared to attack my pack. Damien answers me. Kill him.

- What ! You're not going to kill him anyway? I got angry.

- You're right. he admits.

I frown. It's too good to be true.

- Torture him until he begs you to kill him.

- I did not mean that !

- I didn't ask your opinion. Damien gets angry.

He gets up and they leave. But why can't he respect me? He went to torture him! I can't let him do that anyway. This Tyler may have attacked his pack but no one died. They have to send him to a wolf prison or something. I want to run after them but Damien will tell me that he deserved it. I sit in front of the television and try to entertain myself.

They haven't been home for hours. I can no longer hold myself in place. A person is being tortured while I am warm at home. I have to do something. They are in the hut from the last time. I am sure. I go upstairs to grab a jacket and go out. I am the path we took.

Arrive in front of the hut, I take a deep breath, and open the door. I go down the stairs one by one praying they won't hear me. Realizing that there must be corpses behind its metal doors chills my blood.

I hear noises coming from the door at the back. They must be in this one. I open the door.

A man is tied to a chair in his underwear, a knife stuck in his right leg. There is blood all over him. Damien who was from behind, turns around and stares at me surprised. He was so busy torturing him that he didn't even sense my presence.

- What are you doing here! he shouts.

- I...let him go. You can't do that to her Damien! Look at the state it is in! Stop it...

Before I finish my sentence, he grabs my arm and pulls me out. Getting outside he releases me and that's when my right hand comes into contact with his cheek. I should never have done that...
