Chapter 29
Scott’s little eyes opened gradually to realize that he was still in
the hospital. His eyes scanned the room and saw his mum beside
him, sitting on a chair.
“Mum, good morning.” He greeted her, yawning.
“Son, you’re awake? Hope you slept well?” His mum said with a
smile, rubbing his little cheeks.
“I think I did.” He answered. “I don’t see dad around, where is he?
Did he go somewhere?” He asked her as he sat up with her help.
“Yes, he went to see the doctor.” She replied.
“Oh, okay.” He said as he nodded.
“How do you feel today? Do you feel okay? Do you feel any pain
anywhere?” She asked him, concerned.
“Mum, I’m fine.” He replied with a slight smile but she
immediately noticed that something wasn’t right.
“Are you sure? You look like you have something on your
mind.” She stated and he looked away from her.
Chapter 29
“You do, don’t you?” She asked him again.
She gently held his hand in hers as she spoke to him again,
calmly, “You know you can tell us anything, right? If there’s
anything on your mind or if there’s anything bothering you, you
can always tell us. As your parents, we want the best for you
and we’ll do everything in our power to ensure you’re fine and
lacking nothing.”
While she was still speaking to him, the door opened and Scott’s
father, along with Alpha Marcus, walked in.
“Look who I found on my way back in.” Beta Richard announced
with a smile as soon as he walked in. “I saw him in the hallway,
he was coming to see us.”
Beta Lily immediately got up to greet him, “Good morning,
Alpha.” She said with a bow.
“Good morning, Lily. How are you doing today?” He asked her.
“Very well, thank you so much, Alpha.” She replied with a smile.
“I can see that. You’re full of smiles this morning, so you’re truly
fine.” He said jokingly and they all laughed.
“And what about you, young man?” He asked, turning to Scott. “How are you feeling today? I hope you feel better now?” He inquired, with a smile
Chapter 29
“Yes, Alpha Marcus. I’m fine.” Scott answered him.
“What did the doctor say?” Beta Lily asked her husband.
“Oh, good news. He said Scott can leave in about half an hour
from now. He said he’ll come and check his vitals for the last
time and he’ll discharge him afterwards.” He said, with joy.
“Wow. That’s good news, truly. I’m so happy.” She said with a
broad smile. “Son, we’re going home today.” She said as she
hugged Scott, who didn’t look too happy.
“Is it just me, or does he not look too happy?” Alpha Marcus
asked his friend, Beta Richard.
“Is something bothering him?” Alpha Marcus asked Beta Lily next. “This is really unlike him.” He added.
The young Scott that he had always known was a very bubbly and bright child. He would always ask tons of questions
whenever he didn’t seem to understand certain things and the
reason why they had to do certain things, and he never ran out
of questions because he was so inquisitive. He wasn’t one to
remain in a foul mood, so he knew something was bothering
him.
“You noticed too?” Beta Lily asked and Alpha Marcus and Beta
Richard both nodded. “I have asked him about it but he has yet
Chapter 29
to tell me anything. In fact, that was what I was talking to him
about when you both walked in. ” Beta Lily told them.
Beta Richard moved close to his son and sat beside him, “What is
the matter, son?” He asked.
“Dad, you said you would help me find her.” He suddenly cried
out.
“Find who? What is he talking about, Richard?” Alpha Marcus,
who was confused, asked Scott’s parents.
“He claimed a girl saved his life in the forest and he made a
promise to help her out too but he couldn’t keep his promise
because he was found by the warriors. So, he thinks she is still in
the forest all alone.” Beta Richard explained.
“Hmmm.” Alpha Marcus sighed. “But what makes you think she
is still in the forest? I mean, the forest is extremely wide and has
its deep parts. What if someone else has helped her?” Alpha
Marcus asked him but he shook his head vigorously.
“You don’t think someone could have helped her?” Alpha
Marcus asked, surprised.
“Yes, I don’t think so. It’s too dangerous for any random person.”
Scott answered him.
“That was exactly what I asked him too but he gave almost the
Chapter 29
same answer. He said it was impossible because no one ever went to that part of the forest.” Beta Richard told Alpha Marcus.
“So how did they get there?” He asked Beta Richard, who turned
to Scott for an answer.
“I was hungry and so we went in search of something to eat and
we walked far deep into the forest.” Scott answered. “I’ve told
Dad about it and he said he has to get your permission first
before the warriors can go in search of her.” He added, his eyes
travelling from Alpha Marcus to his father and back to Alpha
Marcus.
“Can you please give your permission?” Scott asked Alpha
Marcus, who thought about it for a moment.
“Giving the permission is not the issue here, Scott, but where
would they start searching from? They can’t just go searching
the whole forest for someone they do not even know by face.
There has to be proper strategic plans put in place before they
embark on another journey into the forest.” He explained to
Scott, who now began to think of clues that could help the
search.
“I think I faintly remember something.” He suddenly said after
thinking for a while.
“What is it?” His dad and Alpha Marcus asked at the same time.
Chapter 29
“So before I became unconscious, I remember seeing some
blurry images and hearing some fading voices…” He suddenly snapped his fingers, “I think that would be the warriors‘ voices
when they found me.” He added eagerly.
“Hmmm! How sure are you?” Alpha Marcus asked him.
“Yes, are you sure? Hope you’re not making stories up?” His dad
asked him.
“No, dad. I’m not making this up. I’m very sure because I heard
them shout to each other that they have found me. It sounded
like they had been searching for me. At first I thought I was
being kidnapped but seeing as I’m here now, it has to be them
who found me.” He explained.
“Okay, that’s some clue, I think.” Alpha Marcus said and picked
out his phone.
He dialled a number and as soon as it was picked, he said, “Come
in here now.”
In just a few minutes, the leader of the warriors knocked and
was told to come in.
“If they can find the exact place where they found me, the pit
Vee is, is not too far from there.” Scott said to them and Alpha
Marcus couldn’t help but to stare at him, amazed by his
Chapter 29
smartness, despite the fact that he was so young.
“But hold on a second, what pit is he talking about?” Alpha
Marcus asked his Beta, a bit confused, not sure of what Scott just
talked about.
“Oh, yes. He said he fell into a pit and she went in to save him. He
was able to get out with her help, but she got hurt and couldn’t
get out anymore which was why he ran to get help but fainted
on the way and was found by the warriors.” His father
explained to the Alpha.
“Whoa! That’s a lot.” Alpha Marcus exclaimed.
He turned to the leader and, pointing at Scott, he asked the
leader, “do you remember where you found him?”
He thought for a short while and answered, “Yes Alpha. I
remember.”
“That’s perfect then! Get the other warriors, you need to find a
missing person.” He instructed.
“Who are we searching for, Alpha?” He asked, not fully
understanding
“Vee! Her name is Vee.” Scott immediately chipped in.
“You heard him. So, her name is Vee. Search the perimeters
Chapter 29
around where you found him, you should find a pit. He said you should find her in the pit.” Alpha Marcus instructed.
“Okay, Alpha. I’ll get the warriors ready.” The leader replied.
“It shouldn’t take too long since you already know where you
are going. You can leave now.” He ordered and the leader of the
warriors left immediately to do as he was told.
Seeing all that happened, Scott became a bit relieved, knowing
that help was finally coming to Veronica’s way.
At that moment, Beta Richard’s phone rang and he immediately
picked up.
“Now? Okay, we’ll be there.” He said to the caller.
“Alpha, your attention is needed. We need to go now.” He told
Alpha Marcus who nodded.
“I guess I’ll see you soon.” Alpha Marcus said to Scott and Beta
Lily, who smiled in response.
“Thank you so much, Alpha.” She appreciated him.
Beta Richard then hugged Scott, “I’ll see you later, buddy.” He
then gave him a kiss on the forehead and said ‘bye‘ to Scott and
his mum before he left the room with Alpha Marcus.
Chapter 29
“Hope you’re happy now?” His mum asked, calling his attention.
“Ummm, I’m not sure.” He said quietly.
“What do you mean?” She asked him.
“I don’t know, I’m kind of scared. What if she isn’t found? Or
something bad has happened to her?” He voiced his worries.
“Come on, son, don’t say that. She’ll be fine, they will find her,
don’t worry.” She said, trying to lift his spirit.
While she was speaking, the doctor came and after unplugging
all the machines attached to him and checking his reaction, he
announced, “He is fine, he is free to go now.”
‘Oh my! Thank you so much, doctor. I’m so glad.” She said,
beaming with smiles.
“Right at the reception, you just need to sign some documents
and that’s all. Please, ensure that he eats well and gets enough
rest too.” He told her and she nodded in understanding.
“Thank you so much, doctor.” She thanked him.
“You’re welcome ma’am.” He replied. “Be good, kid, and stay
safe.” He said to Scott and he nodded.
He then left the room and Beta Lily began to pack their stuff. In
Chapter 29
a few minutes, she was done and after signing every necessary
document, they were out of the hospital and on their way home.
