His Blue Moon Princess
Chapter 93

"Nora! Nora!"

I keep calling her, but she's totally unconscious in my arms. Moon Goddess, not Nora, too!

Sylviana runs to our side and checks her pulse. She frowns. "Liam, it's not good. We have to go- her pulse is very weak. She's lost a lot of blood."

That, I can see. The very same dress she was wearing earlier is now drenched in red, and her leg injury looks really bad. That's a damn bullet wound! I don't even know if they can treat it... How did she make it until now? Anyone would have passed out ages ago! I breathe in, trying to calm myself and listen to Sylviana. She does something with her hands again, and suddenly starts pouring something on Nora's wound... Is that soil?

"I will try to protect her injuries with my magic while we take her to the hospital. Liam, you're the fastest here, you have to go."

Little red flowers suddenly bloom from the same soil she spread on Nora and start surrounding her like little vines. It's a weird sight, that and her white hair I have no idea how she got. While the flowers keep growing all around her, the guys are busy searching the house. Two of them suddenly run back to us.

"The guy is dead! We found his body in the basement."

"There were lots of drugs, too, hidden everywhere. What do we do?"

"Burn the corpse, and leave the police to search the house. Make sure no one touches the drugs until they come. Call Sean, too," I order them.

"We will. Is the Luna...?"

"We gotta take her to the hospital."

As soon as we're done talking, the flowers stop moving, too. Nora is now trapped in some sort of vine armor.

Sylviana nods and gets up. "Okay, I'm done, but Liam, you have to go, now!"

I start running right away, carrying Nora. Thank Moon Goddess this girl is so thin and light; even on two legs, I can run fast. A few wolves are escorting us of their own accord, from both Damian's and the Jade Moon packs. It's at least half an hour to run to the hospital... Nora, you have to hold on!

Liam, you got her?

Yeah, we found Nora. Tell the hospital to be ready once I arrive, she's in bad state. How is Damian?

He is hanging on. Something weird happened earlier; his state stabilized all of sudden.

Really? Like, ten minutes ago?

Yeah, more or less... Why?

Uh... I think that was Nora's doing, or him reacting to her, somewhat. I don't really know what happened to her, she's different. You'll see when we arrive.

Okay. Just hurry.

I know, I know...

I run as fast as I can to the hospital. I feel Sylviana behind me. Thank Moon Goddess she is helping with Nora's injuries; I don't think she could have made it otherwise. When we arrive at the hospital, a full team is waiting for us, and they jump on Nora as soon as we get to them, patting and checking her from every side.

"Bullet wound on the left leg, she lost a lot of blood!"

"Multiple contusions and I feel internal bleeding, we have to operate right away!"

They keep yelling all the injuries they can detect until the stretcher suddenly leaves for the emergency ward. I catch my breath and follow slowly. I can't enter the surgery room, anyway. I suddenly spot Tonia running to me, a worried look on her face. "Where's she? Where is Nora?"

"The surgeons got her. They will operate."

Right after I just finished saying that, I want to ask about my brothers, but one of the nurses suddenly run from the surgery room.

"Excuse me, are you her family?"

"Her brother-in-law. What is it?"

"She's going to need a transfusion. Is there any family member who can donate?"

Tonia growls. "Are you kidding me? This is a hospital, we don't have enough blood? She was hospitalized here before!"

The nurse shakes her head. "Sorry miss Mura, but the lady's blood type is rare, and she needs a lot right now. And with what happened earlier, we already gave a lot of blood to other victims... We might not have enough in our stock currently." "Shit... You need a family member?" I ask.

"Anyone with the same blood type- she's O negative."

s**t, how do we know if anyone will be the same?

Nate, we need to reach out to as many people as we can. Nora needs a transfusion, O negative.

Okay...

Can Elena donate?

She's freaking pregnant, you i***t!

Oh, I forgot that detail....

"She needs blood...?"

I turn around. Her brother Alec just came from nowhere. Damn, that guy is creepy. Tonia growls at him, annoyed.

"I can give it to her. My blood, to Nora. I'm O negative, too."

"You're an ex-junkie, no way we are giving her your blood," sighs Tonia. "Even if you're more or less clean now, I still think that would be too risky."

I take my phone out and try to call other Alphas to ask around. Suddenly, the black and white wolf returns behind us and quickly shapeshifts. As I suspected, it's William Blue. Sylviana explains the situation to him quickly while I'm still on the phone. He nods. "I can definitely donate my blood to Nora. I'm her cousin and O negative, too."

"Great, please follow me. But we are going to need more people, and please, they have to get tested!" Says the nurse while walking away with William.

How many people exactly? It's Nora's life we are talking about! I keep making calls, and all Alphas reach out to their packs, asking around. Suddenly, a young girl comes running from another corridor of the hospital. I recognize Marina, Old Man Seaver's daughter. Right, he was admitted, too. She looks tired and her eyes are red.

"Me! I am O negative! Arthur told me you needed someone to help the Luna, is she okay?" She asks, out of breath.

"I hope she will be, with your help. Can you go to the nurse's office?" Asks Tonia.

After Marina Seaver, a couple more people arrive to help. Joshua, one of my brother's lieutenants, but also another guy from the Sapphire Moon, and two people from Lissandra's pack. We don't know how many of them will be able to donate, though, so we keep reaching out. When Marina and one of the people from Lissandra's pack come back with apologetic looks on their faces, I start to worry. If those two are no good, that's just three people to donate... Will there be enough?

Suddenly, I realize Sylviana is not by my side anymore. Where is she? I spot her a few meters away, sitting down in front of Alec. What are they doing? She has her hands on his wrists, and he looks like he's sleeping or meditating. I walk up to them and realize her eyes have turned light green, like they do when she uses her magic.

"Babe?" I ask.

"Just a minute."

I stay silent, looking at them. Something weird is going on with Alec. His veins are... turning from green to blue and purple. What is Sylviana doing to him? When she stops, the guy looks refreshed, like he suddenly got five years younger. Woah, that's impressive, even for her. I still have no idea what she did, though.

"What did you do...?"

"A little cleansing. You can go, Alec."

"Thank you..." He mumbles.

He nods and walks away. Is he going to the nurse's office, too? I interrogate Sylviana with my eyes.

She sighs. "He really wanted to help his sister. He asked if I could... clean his blood so he could donate to her, too."

"Is it possible?"

"Yeah, because it wasn't the first time. I just needed to push him a bit more. He's clean enough to give his blood. But the d**g problem... he still has to work on it. It's all in his head, but it might take time. Years, even."

I look at Alec, walking away. So, he really is apologetic towards Nora... I pity the guy, but still decide I might forgive him. Someday. Looks like some people can turn around, after all.

I sigh. "Guess that's all left to Moon Goddess then... I hope they can make it."

"Nora is strong, Liam. She will survive this."

"What was that, by the way? Earlier, her hair?"

Sylviana stays silent for a while, thinking. "I wonder... Her grandmother was a reincarnation of Moon Goddess, maybe Nora has some unknown power like her, too. I've never seen someone as filled with Moon power as she was before. Even I would never be able to channel so much."

That's way too complicated for me... From the hospital window, I look at the moon shining upon us. Watch other them, please? I take a while to address Moon Goddess. I had never prayed before, but now seems a good time to do so... I close my eyes, reach for my wolf and channel my prayers for Nora and my brother through him. I don't know what I'll do if they don't make it through the night...

I decide to wait for Nora in front of the operating room since I know Nate is staying by Damian's side. It's past midnight.

What a mess... Victims keep coming one after another from the stadium, and the hospital staff is running around. Even Tonia went to lend a hand to her grandmother. At some point, I see Bobo walking towards us, limping a little. He uses crutches and has a big bandage on the side of his head. He comes to sit by my side, looking exhausted.

"You should be sleeping, Bobo."

"I can't. Is Nora still inside?"

I nod. She's been in there for two hours. It's the same nightmare as when Damian was in surgery, too, a few hours earlier. Bobo shakes his head.

"F**k..."

"Hey, Bobo. You okay?"

"Just a bit dizzy... But compared to others, I shouldn't complain. They just brought Andrew Jones' body back..."

I nod. I feel sorry for Lissandra. She's a strong woman, but losing her father like that... I know she's still at the stadium, helping people and taking care of that mess. This all still feels too unreal. I turn to Bobo, but before I say a thing, he shakes his head. "I want to see Nora first."

I know how much he likes her, too, so I just nod. Nora considers him her best friend more than her bodyguard. Those two got awfully close in a short while... If it wasn't for Bobo being gay, Damian would probably be jealous, too. "How's Daniel?"

"He wasn't at the fight. Nathaniel's got him watching Elena... She fell asleep."

I nod. After that, we don't exchange any words until Sylviana brings us some tea. She sits next to me, and I realize Bobo fell asleep on his chair. The big guy obviously needed some rest... I look at the surgery room again, hoping they would come with good news soon. I can't feel Nora's wolf at all... Will her injury be okay? Did she get enough blood?

"If only we could donate, too... I'm B positive, though. What about you?"

Sylviana laughs. "Witches don't have blood types, Liam."

"What? What do I do if you're injured, then?"

"Water and sunshine, of course."

She gets up and walks away with a smile while I'm still dumbfounded. She was joking, right?
