The pack hospital is flooded with unconscious wolves. The few pack doctors were trying their absolute best to care for each of them but there were so much wolves and so little doctors that it was proving to be difficult.
After Adal had woken up the previously possessed wolves, they each passed out one by one and it was up to the standing ones to get them to the pack hospital.
The attention I had taken just a while after the fight had stopped when I shifted back in to my human form was soon stolen away but the passing out wolves. And I was more than happy to lay low and help out without having any extra eyes on me.

It was a struggle but all the wolves got the medical help they needed and Adal was circling around the hospital, giving his alpha aura to those who needed to borrow his strength.
I have to admit that I was really proud of Adal as I watched him carry out his duty. The your wolf who had once feared of taking responsibility of a big pack is no longer here. Instead, a very strong and powerful Alpha stood in his place.
"Honey?"
I heard Mom's voice and I looked behind me over my right shoulder to see that my mother was here.
"Hey mom."
"Hey. How are you feeling?" She asked with her voice laced with worry.

"I'm fine. I was a bit injured but I healed fast so, nothing to worry about." I replied before I looked back as Adal as he spoke to one of the injured wolves.
"I heard." I whispered as she walked closer and stood next to me.
"Hear what?" I asked.
"I heard that you turned in to a mountain of a beast and gave the entire pack a scare. Word has it you even swallowed a wolf whole."

I shook my head as I let out a soft chuckled.
"Oh Harek, that little gossip." I mumbled as I looked over to my mother.
"Oh, it's not just Harke. Everyone is talking about it. I even heard that the news traveled t all the elders of the pack."
"Why should I care?" I asked with a sigh.
"The elders are a big deal in a pack and you know it." My mom scolds me and I glanced at her.
"I know they are a big deal. But they also tried to have me kicked out of the ack many times through out my entire life because I was born weak and unfit to be a beta. Why should I give a rats ass about what they think about my Lioness?"
My mother frowned at my commented and her face fell immediately.
"I'm sorry, Rori." She whispered, making me sigh once more.
"Stop it mom. There is no need for you to apologize. I already told you that I forgive you. But that doesn't mean that I forgive everyone else. That will take some time."
"What about your father?" Mom asked and I had to sigh yet again.
"I already promised you that I will talk to him, didn't I. I was about to talk to him before the attack. I just want to talk to Adal first before I go anywhere."
Mom looked over to Adal before she bit her lower lip.
"The Alpha looks like he's going to be busy for a while." She commented.
"MOM!"
"Please, honey. Talk to him for a few minutes, just a few. I understand that I am asking for too much and that it makes me a horrible mother when I already know the things you've been through. But Rori, I've already seen a life without you and your father and I hate it. We are a family, we belong together. I don't want to go back to having just my mate. I want my daughter too.
"I'm not asking you to forgive and forget, Rori. I'm just asking you to give us a chance. A chance to make things right, to right the wrong."
"And what if it's twenty two years too late?" I asked in a dying voice.
"There's no such thing as too late for family."
Her answer kept playing in my head as I nodded my head and turned around to leave the pack hospital. Mom called out to tall me that my father was back at our home and that it was where I would find him.
Letting out a final sigh, I made my way to home.
On my way to my old house, I could see people stopping by me, staring at me, whispering behind their palms.
It felt like I was back in high school and I was the butt of every joke. It made me cringe and I wanted to find a cover until they forget about me.
But then I remembered the past four years I've spent in the woods with pheobee. I remembered all the hardship I went through to get here today. I remembered the beast inside of me that would stir once in a while to remind me to chin up.
That's right.
I am not the girl form four years ago. I am not the girl they beat down when ever they wanted to. I'm not the girl they dragged in to the gym every single day to use as a punching bag.
No. I am Rori Dash. A freaking Lioness beast that can take down anyone that comes in my way. I am an Alpha woman in my own right and I know for a fact that none of these wolves stand a chance against me anymore.
I know it, so does the hungry Lioness in side of me.
With my head held up high, I walked through the crowed without flinching or taking a glance at anyone.
When I reached home, I found the door unlocked so I invited myself in.
I don't know why father decided to live in the house now, especially after Adal had ordered mom and I to move in to the pack house for safety reasons.
I walked in to the living room and I was met with silence. I went in to the kitchen and he wasn't there either. I walked back in to to the all wen I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and saw my father making his way down.
He looked over to me and he didn't look surprised to see me here, just as if he was expecting me to show up or at least already knew that I was on my way. Which means mom must have mind linked him after I left from the pack hospital.
"Rori." My father greeted before he finished the stairs.
The two of us stood in the hall in an awkward silence. I didn't know which one of us were supposed to talk first but sure didn't want to be the first to break the silence.
"Do you want some water or tea or... coffee?" My father asked as he looked around the hall at everything except for me.
"I'll have coffee, if that's okay." I replied.
"Sure, sure." He nodded his head before walking past me towards the kitchen. I cringed at how awkward and tense it was, blew out a breath and turned around to follow him.
I watched as he made his way over to the coffee maker and started making us two cups.
"I thought you hated coffee." My father commented after he placed a cup in front of me.
"Pheobee used to force me up early in the morning to make me hunt with my arrows and to wake me up, she used to make me these mean ass coffees. I grew to like the taste."
My father nodded his head before he sat down on the chair, the same row I was sitting in but he left one chair between us.
I took a sip of my coffee and he did the same too.
"I heard you and mom are back together." I commented after I cleared my throat.
I glanced at my father and saw that he was nodding his head.
"Yes, we... umm Yes, we're back together." He replied before clearing his throat and looking away.
I blew out a breath.
"I..." Both of us started at the same time and stopped again.
"Go ahead." I said before I looked down in to my cup.
"I... I want to apologize first." He started before he cleared his throat. "I... I should have been a better father to you, one you deserved..."
"Would we have had this conversation if it wasn't for mom?" I asked, cutting my father off.
He turned his eyes over to me and lets out a sigh.
"I spent a full year away from the pack to look for you Rori, and not because your mother was threatening to leave me. It was because you are my daughter."
I was having a hard time believing him.
"Would we have this conversation if I was still nothing but a human?" I asked again.
"I didn't know you were a shifter until a few hours ago." He answered.
"Fair enough." I nodded my head before I took another sip from the coffee he made me.
My father suddenly turned towards me.
"I understand that I haven't been the best father in the world... not even close. But I also stepped the last four years repenting for my sins. I should have been a better but I can't change what I did in the past but I can be better in the future. We don't have to jump right in to being a happy family but we can start small. We can... We can..."
He stopped as no thought could come to his mind.
"We can start with a family dinner." I commented, to which my father nodded his head.
I let out a sigh.
"I can't just forgive you though." I commented and my father's face fell. "I need you to understand that I can't just forgive you. Even if I say I do right now, then I don't mean it, at least not to your and those directly involved."
"I understand." He whispered.
"I'll do it for mom though. I'm fine with trying for her." I whispered back and my reply looked like it made my father really happy and relived.
"That's good to hear. Your mother might be the only one in this pack who deserves your forgiveness." He commented before we both took a sip from our coffee.
"I'm glad we got to talk. I feel like there is a large weight lifted off of my shoulders." My father commented.
"Me too." I replied honestly.
The two of us sat in silence for a few minutes before my father broke the silence and I couldn't help but laugh.
"So... A Lioness huu?"
