Chương 234: Purification by Fire

Lucas carried Zoe up through the dungeon into the medical wing of the pack house. He had gotten her to hold the shirt over her face in order to keep pressure on the wounds so that he could make it there faster. She finally stopped screaming, instead only letting out the occasional whimper when he jostled her too much.

"I'm sorry. I'm really trying to be careful," he murmured.

Once Beth saw Lucas coming with Zoe in his arms, she ushered him toward a room before following him in.

"What on earth happened?" she gasped when the shirt was removed to reveal the bite wounds on Zoe's face.

"An elder happened," he growled, still not believing what he had witnessed.

"Okay, wait here. I will go get the supplies to clean and stitch it," Beth said before turning to leave.

"You will need to numb it," he called after her.

"Pardon?" she asked, a startled look on her face.

"She is not lycan. You will need to numb it," he repeated.
