Greyson rushed out of the house just as Ace emerged from the woods carrying a bloody body in his arms.
It was a young girl.
Indianna gasped and Greyson quickly grabbed Indianna's shoulders and span her round so she couldn't see the body. She could hear whimpering and cries of pain from the girl and it broke Indianna's heart.
She knew how she felt.
"Greyson, let me see!" Indianna snapped, but his grip was firm. He didn't want Indianna to see the girl, he knew it would only bring back bad memories.
Members of the pack had gathered outside and Kal took the bloody girl from Ace and rushed inside—to Doc probably.
"What happened?" Greyson demanded and let go of Indianna. She went to follow Kal inside but Greyson grabbed her waist and pulled her into his side.
"I don't know for sure," Ace frowned. "I smelt blood so I followed the scent and found the girl in the woods. She had been attacked and bitten twice."
"Bitten where?" Greyson demanded and Ace looked at Indianna.
"On her stomach and wrist."
Indianna froze and she felt sick forming in her throat. "R-Rogue," she whispered and Greyson cursed.
Rogue had harmed the girl to taunt Indianna.
"Everyone, search the land! I want Rogue found and killed!" Greyson yelled and pack members scattered.
"I-I need to see her," Indianna gasped and pulled away from Greyson.
"Sugar, I don't think that's a good idea—"
"It's my fault!" Indianna snapped and took a shaky breath. "I need to make sure she's okay. Alive." Indianna rushed into the house and hurried to the infirmary. She could smell the blood. The metallic scent getting stronger and stronger the closer she got to the infirmary.
Indianna gasped in surprise when she crashed into somebody and Kirstie steadied her. "Indianna, are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"I-I..." Indianna trailed off. "The g-girl—I've got to go!" Indianna barged past Kirstie and finally made her way to the infirmary. She gasped at what she saw; the girl was laying on a bed and Doc and Kal were on either side of her both covered in blood.
Indianna pushed the door open and Kal's head snapped up to hers. "Indie, you won't want to see this," Kal said quickly just as the girl screamed in pain.
Indianna flinched and looked at the girl in horror. "W-Will she be okay?" Indianna whispered and Doc looked at Indianna.
"She's lost a lot of blood, but she is conscious and has enough energy to scream, so hopefully she will be, I just need to close up her wounds. As long as she stays awake she should be fine," Doc informed her and Indianna sighed in relief. "Luna, you may want to leave, what I'm going to do next isn't pleasant." Doc picked up a large needle and Indianna flinched, backing up and closing the door to the infirmary.
"Sugar." Indianna gasped in shock and span round to see Greyson. "Are you okay?"
"I..." Indianna gulped and leaned back against a wall. She ran a hand down her face and sighed. "It's my fault. Rogue wants me so he hurt that little girl—"
"Stop," Greyson said sternly and placed his hands on Indianna's shoulders, narrowing his eyes at her. "It's not your fault, don't you dare say that it is."
"But—"
"Indie!" Greyson snapped. "Rogue is evil! He does what he does for fun! It's not your fault!"
Indianna gulped and looked through the window of the infirmary door. Doc was hunched over the girl and Indianna winced when she saw the glimmer of the needle. "It is."
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in Indianna's head and she flinched, looking up at Greyson who was glaring at her. "It's not."
"Did you just—"
"Yes," Greyson snapped. "Now fucking listen to me, don't blame yourself."
"I can't help it!" Indianna exclaimed and pushed Greyson away from her. "I just need to go to bed," she muttered and walked past him. She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair as she made her way to her new room. She didn't bother changing out of her clothes, she just crawled under the soft covers of her new bed and closed her eyes.
Why was Rogue doing this?
What did he want with Indianna?
Indianna was screaming when she woke up. Her heart was beating rapidly and sweat was forming on her forehead. She clutched her covers in fear and squeezed her eyes shut, trying to forget about the dreadful night she was attacked.
"Indie!" Greyson said, barging into her room and rushing over to her. As soon as his skin made contact with hers she immediately relaxed and she opened her eyes, looking up at Greyson. "What's wrong?"
"S-sorry," she whispered. "I had a nightmare about R-Rogue."
"It's fine," Greyson said softly and cupped Indianna's cheek. "Don't be sorry."
She nearly melted under his touch and she closed her eyes, letting the sparks flood her body and calm her down. Her breathing slowed and when she opened her eyes Greyson's face was inches from hers. "Thanks," she mumbled.
"You okay now?"
Indianna nodded and her eyes flickered to Greyson's plump lips. "You have a lip piercing," she commented.
"I've always had one, I just never wore it," Greyson shrugged, dragging the piercing through his teeth.
"It's nice," Indianna said and Greyson smirked.
"Indie, can you stop stalling and just fucking kiss me?" Greyson said lowly and before Indianna could reply his crashed his lips to hers. Indianna moaned and Greyson pushed her down on the bed and rested his knees on either side of her hips and put his hands on either side of her head. She reached her arms round his neck and tangled her fingers in his silky hair. "Sorry about earlier," Greyson said between kisses. "I was stressed and you were being difficult."
Indianna arched an eyebrow and placed her hands on Greyson's chest, stopping him from kissing her again. "Difficult?"
"Don't act surprised, sugar. You know you do everything possible to agitate me," Greyson growled, but there was a faint smile on his lips.
"Only because you're an ass."
"I'm not an ass."
"My mistake, you're a cunt."
Greyson's eyes widened slightly and he chuckled darkly, grabbing Indianna's arms and pulling her up so she was sitting. "Such an innocent girl shouldn't be using bad language like that," he said into her ear and dug his nails into her waist. "And you shouldn't be so rude to your mate."
"Bite me," Indianna said and rolled her eyes.
Greyson smirked and trailed kisses down her neck, sucking on her mark which made her gasp in pleasure. "Already have," he said against her skin and she narrowed her eyes, trying to him away from her.
"I'm going to sleep."
Greyson smirked when Indianna looked at him expectantly, wanting him to get off her.
"Greyson, get off," she groaned and Greyson laughed, rolling off Indianna and lying beside her. "Don't you have your own room?"
"Yes."
"You should go to it."
"No."
"I'm not sleeping until you get out of my bed."
"Okay."
Indianna narrowed her eyes at Greyson and went to stand up, but Greyson grabbed her waist and yanked her down on the bed, wrapping his arms round her securely. "Where do you think you're going, sugar?" He whispered and she wriggled in his hold.
"Get off."
"Nope."
"Ass," she growled and Greyson pinned her arms to her side when she tried to hit him.
"You love it," Greyson chuckled and Indianna pursed her lips.
She did.
She liked the way she felt when Greyson held her.
Not that she would tell him that.
