Chapter Seven

Ice Cold:

Agnar cradled her too close to his chest. She was as cold as ice. He walked quickly as he reached their camp set up, people moving out of his way as he approached them. Their eyes looking at him in wonder. All with the same question: why was he holding  a naked woman. She was out cold and he kept remaining himself. He was trying his best to not notice she was naked. Each step he took her breast moved and brushed against him. Her ice cold skin pressed into his chest. She stirred in his arms trying to move closer to him. He could tell she was chasing the warmth. Her hands wrapped around his neck, Her ice cold fingertips grazed the back of his neck sending a shiver down his spine. He gritted his teeth trying to ignore the feeling. Nathan was footsteps ahead of him, he kept glancing over his shoulder looking at them as if studying the girl. A small spark of anger stirred inside Agnar. Why did he keep looking at her. His wolf growled inside of him. Agnar fought the feeling back. He knew it was for purely medical reasons. At last they reached the medical tent. Ducking into the tent, Nathan knocked stuff off of a cot and patted it. He then turned his attention elsewhere. Nathan began  running around getting supplies.

“Set her down on that cot and get her dressed or covered with something. We need to get her body temperature up.” Nathan shouted at Agnar.

Normally he would rip someone's head off speaking to him in such a manner but Nathan was not only his only medic but also a close friend. He knew right now he was not ordering him but trying t o do what Agnar asked and that was to keep her alive.  Agnar set her down on the cot and found a large blanket. He was covered with it. She curled into herself more. Her teeth started to chatter and body started to shake. 

Nathan came over a bag of fluids in his hand, an IV line draped across his neck. He looked at her shaking. Realizing she got worse being away from Agnar.

“Take off your shirt and get in the cot with her.” Nathan said, setting his supplies down.

“What?” Agnar asked, looking at him like he had several heads.

“She’s doing worse being away from you. The heat from your body was helping hers. Take off your shirt, get in the cot behind her, wrap your big ass around her and cover yourselves with the blanket.” Nathan said set up his tape for the IV catheter he was about to place in her arm.

Agnar growled in response to Nathan's order. IT didn't phase Nathan at all; he continued working. He didn't even look up when he responded to him.

“If you want her to live, do it. If not, carry her ass back to the river and chuck her in it.” Nathan shrugged a little. 

Nathan heard Agnar’s shirt hit the floor. He grumbled under his breath as he climbed into the cot. He pulled her into him. His arms wrapped around her waist as he pulled her to his chest. She groaned slightly, starting to resist him but as his skin touched hers. Her groan became a sigh and she curled into him, wrapping herself around him. Agnar pulled the covers up over them. He looked down at the top of her blond head and found himself liking the closeness of her. 

“I need one of her arms.” Nathan said to him.

“Uh?” Agnar replied, tearing his eyes away from her and looking at him.

“Fast way to warm her up is with warm fluids.” Nathan said, holding up the IV catheter and line.

Agnar nodded and peeled the girl's arm away from his midsection. She groaned in response. Agnar rubbed her arm trying to keep it warm as Nathan placed a tourniquet on her arm. She tried to pull her arm away.

“Hold her.” Nathan said firmly as he traced her arm trying to find her vein.

‘Were going to have a talk after this.” Agnar grumbled at him as he braced the girl's elbow.

“Looking forward to it.” Nathan smirked as he found the vein.

“You won't be thinking that when it happens.” Agnar threatened him.

“Boo ya!” Nathan shouted as he slid the catheter into her vien. He taped it in and began hooking her up to fluids.

“I think I'll be ok. That right there just made my day.” Nathan chuckled, adjusting the flow of her fluids.

Agnar pulled her arm back under the covers and wrapped himself around her. The shivering and shaking slowly stopped as she nuzzled into his chest. Nathan looked down at him with a small smile on his lips.

‘What?” Agnar snapped at him.

“Nothing Alpha….it’s a good look for you.” Nathan smirked with a shrug.

“What a naked woman laying on me…I think all men would think it's a good look for them. Sometimes the shit you say.” Agnar cracked a smile shaking his head.

“No you care. You were worried about her. And well you're enjoying the other pieces.” Nathan said a small smirk on his face.

“Go be useful elsewhere and keep your comments to yourself.” Agnar snapped at him, adjusting the covers to make sure the girl was staying warm.

“Yes Alpha.” Nahtan chuckled as he walked out of the tent. 

The world was dark and she was freezing. She was slipping away. It must be the river, she thought. She knew she had let go. She couldn't hold on any longer. Part of her didn't want to fight anymore. The world was so horrible. She hated it. Would it be ok to just give in. She could tell her body was so close to moving on. Rose. Her strawberry blond hair fanned out around her as she spun in a circle laughing. The image haunting her as she watched it play out in front of her as if she was watching some movie. Brandon’s scrowled up face as she lectured her about something. His warm eyes caused her to have stabbing pains in her chest. The rest of her pack is all gone. She was alone. 

Then his face appeared in front of her. His black beady eyes looked like sinkholes. His slicked back greasy black hair. Revenge bubbled in her. She was going to hang on just to see him die. She would kill him no matter what she needed to. She was being attacked.She began to try to fight it. She was suddenly pulled into something warm. It held her tightly wrapping around her. She didn't fight against it. She could feel the heat and needed it. She needed to get stronger. The heat rushed through her body, she couldn't help but curl into it.

Something pierced her arm, it burned. She could feel warmness being pumped into her through her arm. It was a different kind of heat. She didn't want it. She began to struggle and fight. She needed to get away from it. It was hot, too hot. She could feel her body overheating. 

She began struggling in his arms. He was not sure what was going on. His arms wrapped tightly around her. He was trying to get her to stay till. 

“Nathan.” He mind linked him as he tried holding her in place.

Her claws came out and she began digging them into his arms. He could feel blood starting to run down his arms. He growled trying to get her to stop as he refused to let her go. Nathan came rushing into the tent. As he watched Agnar struggling to hold her in place. He ran over to the medicine cabinet looking for something to sedate her. 

Her eyes shot open as they scanned the room. She spotted a man in the corner going through medicine. She looked down at the thing attacking her arm. Her other hand was going to pull it out when it was snatched back by something. She realized quickly someone had their arms around her; holding in place. She stared down in disbelief at the large muscles arms locked around her. She began struggling as she did the blanket fell away and that was when she realized she was naked. 

“Hey, Hey! Calm down, it's ok.” Nathan said to her, putting his hand up as if he was telling her to stop.

She growled at him struggling more. She dug her claws into the arms trying to hurt them enough that they would let go. The arms locked tighter around her. 

“We are not trying to hurt you. Stop!” Nathan said, drawing something up a needle.

Levi’s eyes narrowed at him as she quickly realized that he was going to drug her. She needed to get the Iv out of her arm and she needed to escape. She didn't know where she was or who they were but she wasn't going to let them drug her. She watched him slowly walk over to them. Nathan  grabbed the IV line in his hand trying to get ahold of the port. She went still and waited for Nathan to be close enough and Agnar who was holding her to let down his guard. She leaned forward as far as she could and crashed her head backwards. The back of her skull crashed into the Agnar’s holding her face. Nathan jumped backwards. 

“That is enough!” Nathan yelled at her.

Agnar didn't move, blood leaked out of his nose. He didn't even growl, he just kept ahold of her. Levi was shocked Agnar didnt let her go, and was surprised he had no reaction. He held her a little looser and she waited a few seconds and then leaned forward her mouth wrapping around the tape and IV catheter in her arm. In one quick motion she ripped them out. She looked at Nathan, The Iv  catheter attached to the IV line hanging out of her mouth. 

“What the fuck.” He yelled looking at her, as blood began to sprout out of her arm where she ripped the catheter out.

She spit the IV catheter at him. It hit him in the chest. She smirked as it fell to the floor. 

“Come near me and I’ll rip your face off.’ Levi growled at him, her eyes glowing slightly allowing Cahira to come forward making her threat hold more volume. 

“Nathan fucking do something.” Agnar ordered him. 

“I..I..Fuck.” Nathan growled as he watched Levi looking at him calculating his every move. 

He looked down at the needle in his hand if he could just stick her the medicine could go in the muscle. It worked faster if it was in the vein but hell that was not an option now. He walked over to her and Agnar held her tightly. She was still too still. He had never been in a room with any one other than Agnar who made him nervous but his female had him on edge. He moved towards her slowly. She growled at him. Agnar was done with his. He was pretty sure his nose was broken and needed to be reset. He pulled her back against his chest tightly. A loud growl erupting from him. It vibrated the back of her chest and surprised her. She went still for a second. Then suddenly Agnar’s leg wrapped around her.

“Fucking stab her!” Agnar yelled when he finally had her. 

Nathan leapt up and slammed the needle down into her thigh muscle, pressing the plunger down. She growled fiercely at him, struggling her hardest against Agnar’s hold. Her canine’s descending as she did.

‘I’l fucking kill you.” She yelled at Nathan as the word became dark and she went limp in Agnar’s arms.
