The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: HEALING THE MEN

Early the following day, I was woken up by Loren.

"Is everything alright?" I asked him.

I was scared that simply handing the horns over to the priestess was insufficient or that they had found the elk.

Or the strange man who had spoken to me.

So much was going through my mind.

"Help me tend to the men that are still alive." He informed me. "You know the order of using the potions and what to use to treat them, don’t you?"

I nodded.

"Good." He said that, and I rose from my bed and followed him to where the vast space in the quarters was for treating the sick.

There were so many men there.

There are about twenty of them.

Some had lost their limbs, legs, and eyes; they had been mauled. There were so many different casualties.

There were groans of pain.

Loren turned to me. "Just deal with the ones. I would handle the dead."

"Okay."

I started to leave when he held me back. "This is your first time working with me. You said you always helped Urma get back in your pack, right?"

"Yes, I did," I replied. "I know how to treat their wounds and what to use."

He seemed skeptical at first, but then he said, "Alright. You can take the large black book, see through their injuries, and know what is for who."

His book? I didn’t know how to read. But he did not know that.

"Don’t worry." I said. "I might not need to use it. I remember them."

"Fine. But use it in case. If you have any issues, I’ll be downstairs with the dead bodies." He said.

And I wondered how many people had died.

I nodded, and then I watched him leave, leaving me with significantly injured, grown men.

It made me wonder why Loren was the only healer.

With a pack as large as this one, he would need assistants.

What happened in cases of an attack on the pack? And war?

Did he handle it all alone?

I was not getting the answer anytime soon, so I continued.

I grabbed the supplies, went to the men, and treated them.

The first one was a man with a broken arm.

"Let me, please." I said, asking for his hand.

He let me take it, which surprised me.

I had expected some reluctance from the men, especially since I was considered their enemy.

But then he was friendly with me.

I began to clean the wound where there was bleeding. When I was done and it was well-cleaned, I turned to face the broken arm.

Fortunately enough, the bones were not sticking out of the arm.

I picked out the already-made splints from Loren’s box of supplies and wrapped them around the arm.

"This might hurt," I said.

And then I hoisted them together, and he cried in pain.

I heard the bones align, and then I used the elastic bands to wrap and hold the splints secure.

When I was done, I examined his arm and handed him a potion.

"Take this." I said as he received it. "Twice a day. You will take one early this morning with your meal and then take the other late at night. Just a teaspoon. It will reduce the pain. And make sure you don’t apply pressure to the arm."
