had various broken bones and head injuries so they were unable to actually help her. But they were awake and able to talk and encourage her. Hell, she was having a baby in the middle of a fucking parking lot on a cot. Ariel did not know how much the encouragement helped.
Jordan had been critically injured. Since she was the only human that was in the room at the time, she had been the one who had received the most care. She was currently at the clinic that Cloe had with the nurses and PA"s on staff. She was undergoing a litany of tests. Ariel knew a little about her rift with her parents, but she still called them. The wolves had been beside themselves with grief and had taken the first plane out to get here. She hoped they arrived soon.
Ryan and she had taken over leadership for the meantime, and so far, no one had questioned that. But they were cats in a dog pound and sooner or later, they were going to have a few issues.
Ariel looked around for her husband, they had still not found Blaze, and he was getting more and more worried. The places they had not been able to get to were where the worst damage was. Anyone who had been that close to the blast was going to have serious injuries. She could not think about that right now, she needed to focus on taking care of the people that were here.
Ariel walked over to the small female Alpha, Cami, her mates were among the missing also. She leaned down and checked the IV that was hooked up. Cami began to stir and Ariel began to hope that she was coming out of it. From what they could see, she had a broken arm and leg on the right side of her body. It had to be how she landed. Probably had a few broken ribs on that side too, but until they X-Rayed her, they would not know.
She was next on the list to go to the clinic. Ariel knew the wolves wanted at least one of their Alphas to live.
Cami groaned and raised her hand to her head. “What the fuck just happened? I feel like I have a six day hangover and was hit by a bus.” Ariel didn"t want to because the seriousness of the situation but she chuckled. “Cami, its Ariel. You have been in an explosion.” She said calmly.
Cami"s eyes popped open and she tried to sit up. “Where are my kids and my mates?” She cried out and then sank back from the pain.
Ariel paused for a minute, how did you tell a powerful wolf that she had no idea where her family was in this devastation without getting her head ripped off her body? It was going to be a difficult discussion to say the least. “Cami, right now, we are not sure where they are. We have every wolf, cat, bear, and bird looking for them. The wing the babies were in was not damaged but we are unable to reach the floor they were on. Ryan is looking for your mates right now. Do you know where they were when the explosion happened?”
Cami laid there stunned. “Explosion? Shit, Casey! Jo! Where the hell is everyone?”
“We are still getting people out. Casey and her mates are over there. Jo is right next to you. Tey is still missing. We are trying. Do you know where they were when the explosion happened?” Ariel asked again.
“Uhh, most everyone was in the birthing room. The babies were in the nursery. Shit, why can"t I think? I was going to find Quin and Jaden when I felt the ground shake.
They would have wanted to be there for the birth. I think they were down in the security room. Blaine was with them. Trinity and her parents, Oliver, Spencer and one of your cats were in the meeting room on the other side of the security room.” Cami said and grimaced again.
“Trinity?” Ariel said and frowned. She would have remembered someone by that name, it was pretty. In fact, it was one of the names she had picked out for when she and Ryan had a child.
“She is one of the Chosen. Came this morning with her parents. Long story.” Cami muttered and then looked to the side to her best friend who was still not awake. “Jo?
How bad is she?”
Ariel looked at the other woman and
