Erica’s POV

I hold Raven out for Chris to take and I

immediately start getting out of the hospital bed.

Staying in this hospital is no longer an option.

Who knows who else Doctor Wilson was working with while he was here? It isn’t safe for me to be here. I actually don’t know where it is safe for me to be. Alice seems to have minions everywhere.

“What are you doing?” Chris asks as he holds

Raven awkwardly in his arms.

“We are leaving this place,” I say as my panic begins to fill the room. “If Doctor Wilson can get to me here your mother can too.”

Chris shuffles back and forth as he bounces our now-screaming daughter in his arms. “Actually,” he swallows hard. “We are the ones that contacted’ Doctor Wilson.”

My eyes snap up to look at Chris and the air in the room changes from panic to anger in an instant. “You did what?”

“We didn’t know that he was working with our mother. If we had known we would have never contacted him.”

I know that he is telling me the truth but it doesn’t make it any easier to hear. I search around the hospital room for some clothes for me to put on but there is nothing. I look at Chris and reach my arms out for Raven. “Give me your shirt,” I growl at him.

Chris gently lays Raven on the hospital bed and takes off his shirt and tosses it to me. I quickly begin to pull the wires and IVs from my body. The alarms of the machines in the room begin to blare loudly and nurses rush into the room.

“Luna,” one of the nurses yells over the machines.

“What are you doing?”

“I am leaving,” I say simply.

“But Doctor Wilson gave us strict instructions to keep you here for at least a week for observation,” the other nurse says quietly.

I can’t help but cackle loudly at her words. “You mean he wanted to keep me here so he can take my son even farther away from me because that was his plan. I guarantee it.”

“Luna,” the first nurse takes a step towards me and I growl so loudly that the windows in the room begin to rattle. She takes a step back from me and holds her hands up in surrender. “At least let us check over your daughter before you leave.”

“No!” I scream loudly. Pulling Chris’s shirt over my body I gently but quickly scoop Raven into my arms. “She is not leaving my sight.”

“You have been through a terrible ordeal,” the second nurse approaches me carefully. “I understand why you would be hesitant. But please let us check her over before you leave.

“I told you no,” I hiss at them both.

My anger has filled the room so heavily that it feels suffocating. I know that they ain’t be able to tolerate it much longer. Raven is squirming in my arms and I know that my emotions must be affecting her too. I take in a deep breath and try to clear my emotions from the air around me. Raven settles down in my arms and begins to coo sweetly.

I turn to Chris and he is looking at me with a concerned look on his face. “We are leaving,” I say referring to Raven and me. “Are you coming?”

Chris nods his head quickly and pushes between the nurses. The two nurses step to either side of the door and wait patiently for me to step through.

Holding Raven close to my chest I walk past the nurses. As soon as my back is turned to them I feel a sharp pain in my shoulder. I cry out in pain, catching Chris’s attention.

Chris lunges forward and grabs Raven out of my arms before I hit the ground. I fall to the ground with a thud and my body begins to writhe in pain.

Reaching around my back, I pull a syringe out of my shoulder and toss it to the ground beside me.

Chris looks from the syringe on the ground to the nurse that jabbed it in my shoulder. I look up and see the fear that is apparent on her face. She takes several steps backward but there is nowhere for her to go. My head snaps around to the other nurse and she is standing with a shocked look on her face.

“Luna,” she stutters. “I didn’t know…”

But Chris is no longer listening. With Raven tucked gently in his arm, he reaches out for the nurse that tried to poison me. Grabbing her around the neck he squeezes tightly. I can hear her gasping for air the tighter he trips her neck.

“I had to,” the nurse sputters. “Luna Alice has my daughter.”

So that is how Alice is recruiting people to her side. Blackmail. I want to feel pity for the nurse but I can’t find myself to feel anything at the moment.

My legs are beginning to go numb and dark spots are beginning to invade my vision. I open my mouth to yell for Chris but no words come out.

Iblink my eyes furiously trying to rid them of the dark spots that seem to be getting larger by the second. The nurse that is closest to me bends down close to me and places her fingers on my throat.

“Luna, I need you to get back in bed,” she says as she tries to lift me off the floor.

Chris turns around and growls at her and she drops me back down to the ground.

“Alpha, I have to get her hooked back up to the IV.

I need to flush whatever was in the syringe from her body ASAP.” The nurse is pleading at him with her eyes and I know she didn’t have anything to do with the syringe. I trust her.

I nod my head weakly and Chris turns his attention back to the nurse that is still in his grasp. I watch as his claws extend from his fingertips and he rips her throat from her neck.

B***d splashes all over him and Raven. I let out a tiny gasp before the darkness overcomes my body and my head falls limply to the floor.
