My Feral Lady Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Mistakes that ran wild

“You need stitches” Lena repeated for the seventh time that morning. 

“Well, I’m not going to the hospital.” 

“I said you didn't have to go to the hospital if you let me do it.”

Kara laughed.

“Come on Kara, I would let you do it, but it’s on your right arm, and you are right-handed.”

“Which is exactly why I am not going to be getting stitches.” 

“Kara I can do them just fine.” 

“And when exactly was the last time you did any form of stitches?” 

“I stitch up an occasional chicken after I stuffed and deboned it to be roasted?” 

“Ok, I've seen you do that, and, that is the exact reason you aren't stitching me up.”

“Oh! Don't be a baby, you are a strong alpha! You shrugged off getting your shoulder slashed. Now woman up and let me stitch!” Lena brandished a needle and thread. 

“Have you even sterilized that?”

“I… That's a good idea.” Lena smiled embarrassed.

“Yeah.” Kara braced herself.

“Well, you don't need to sterilize it for the chicken!”

“You are not helping your case baby.”

“I can do this. It will be ok. I just wanna make sure it heals right ok?”

“I’m a wolf. As long as it stops bleeding I’ll heal eventually”

“If it doesn't get infected.” Lena countered, brandishing her now sterilized needle and thread.

“You really aren't helping your case right now.”

“How’s that?”

“Because if you stitch me up like this right now it will get infected.” Kara dropped slightly condescending eyes.

“I cleaned the needle and the thread.”

“But not your hands Lena.” Kara sighed. 

“Then fucking help me Kara!” Lena snapped. Kara opened her mouth to speak, but Lena cut her off. “God Kara! What is going on with you! Why don't you want me to patch you up!” Kara went again to speak up, but Lena still wasn't done. “How would you feel if I was hurt like this and I didn't let you take care of me ?! Your wolf would be losing its damn mind!” 

“You are right. I'm sorry.” 

“You are damn right I'm right!” Lena had already chosen the tone of her response before she realized Kara was agreeing with her. “W… wait what?” 

“I'm sorry. And… I recommend using the gloves, they are already sterile, and then clean the needle and thread again.” 

“I…” Lena glanced between the first aid kit and the alpha. 

“I'm sorry.” Kara repeated.

“Why didn't you want me fixing you up?” Lena glared at Kara while slipping the gloves on. 

“It's stupid alpha bullshit.” 

“I'm sure it is. Now spill.” Lena cleaned the materials again. 

“It's nothing, you can clean it alright? Just-” 

“You really wanna be fighting with the woman about to stick a needle in you right now?” Lena moved closer on their bed, ushering for Kara to move so she could easily stitch her up. 

“I-” Kara yelped. “Aye! Be careful!” 

Lena lifted an eyebrow in a demanding glare.

“I don't feel like I deserve to get my wound stitched up.” 

“And why's that?” Lena followed up, doing her best to be soft as she poked through the other side of the wound. 

“Oof. God. Isn't pain a good enough excuse for not wanting this done?”

“No.” 

“Because I fucked up and put you in danger Lena! That is why I feel like I don't deserve my wound being taken care of! Ok?” 

“You are just as bad as your sister.” Lena huffed, slowing her work as she took a moment to consider just how the two had been raised that they had both ended up so self-reliant and feeling as if everything that went wrong was their fault or their duty to fix.

Kara put her strong alpha face back on, diverting her eyes from the worried omega. “You aren't done yet, are you?”

“Kara.” Lena sighed, kissing at Kara’s arm away from the wound. “Don't shut me out like that.” 

Kara softened. “I’ll work on it. Ok?” Kara caressed Lena’s forearm soothingly.

“Mhmm.” Lena kissed Kara’s arm again, returning to her efforts to take care of Kara’s wound.

“How about this? Ask me anything, no walls, no hiding or avoiding answers?” Kara offered

“You are my girlfriend. Shouldn't that be how it always is?” Lena challenged.

“Uugh.” Kara stumbled.

“What happened to no hiding, evading a question is hiding.” 

“Yes, it should be.” Kara deflated.

“Good, so… What did you mean when you asked Emma if she knew what to do if she starts to feel ‘off’?” 

Kara stammered again. “Well, umm, uugh, well.”

“Spit it out.”

“Here's the thing-”

“Kara.” Lena giggled.

“I’m not certain, ok! It was me being overly cautious.” Kara clarified.

“Cautious of what?”

“You know I haven't been a wolf for all that long right?”

“Yes, and?” 

“And I know a lot about this stuff, but I don't know everything.”

“And?” Lena repeated.

“And the last time a wolf went feral, his partner went feral with him. I’ve only ever seen the two wolves go feral. I was new, Cat was still showing me around at the time, trying to explain everything about being a wolf and all. One day, She took me out to a cabin to meet with some of the eldest wolves from the pack. When we arrived one of them had already gone feral. His wife begged and pleaded for time to say goodbye, and Cat obliged. When she finally told Raymond, and he went to go do what he had to… Not only had they killed two other wolves but both of them had gone feral.” Kara was so caught up in her story she hadn't even noticed that Lena had finished and placed a bandage over the fresh stitches. “Lena three people died because I was too naive. I just assumed everything would be alright and I agreed with Cat to not tell anyone. And now those pack members are dead.”

“Kara… You know that isn’t your fault.” 

“I could have prevented it Lena. But I didn't-”

“You didn't know better.”

“I knew that I was keeping secrets, I knew that didn't feel right. Is that not enough?” 

“Stop.” Lena ordered, pressing her forehead to her alpha’s chest, just over her heart. “Stop beating yourself up over every little thing.” 

“Lena this isn't some small little thi-” Kara felt the omega push her onto her back with a small headbutt.

“Bad. Bad girl.” Lena nuzzled the dour wolf, forcing her to lighten her spirits.

“I love you.” 

“I love you too. Now stop being bad and ignoring your omega!” Lena looked up to Kara pouting.

“Ok, ok, I’ll work on it.” 

Lena wanted to argue, to fight for more, to get the alpha to promise not to be so hard on herself anymore, but she knew better. No behavior so deeply ingrained suddenly changes overnight. “Good alpha.” Lena nuzzled more.

“Thank you for being so patient with me.” Kara rubbed Lena’s back with her good hand. 

“Does your arm feel any better?”

“Yeah. A little.” Kara lied for Lena’s benefit, needing her to be able to believe she did something more than poke an already sore wound repeatedly.

“Good. I’m glad.” Lena kissed delicately over the bandage. “You were a good girl.” Lena brought her kisses down towards Kara’s chest, towards her breasts. “Such a good girl, letting me patch you up, finally talking to me.” Lena found Kara’s left nipple, kissing over it gently, opening her mouth to take it in.

“Oh! I! I think I like being a good girl!” Kara settled herself in the bed, pulling Lena closer. 

“You do now?” Lena purred, licking and sucking gently at the alpha's sensitive flesh. 

“That's… mhmm, that's nice baby.” Kara hummed. 

“My good alpha.” Lena praised, cupping and caressing the other breast as she continued. 

“You are gonna get me all riled up all over again.” 

“No knotting till you are healed.” Lena warned. 

“What!?” 

“You heard me.” Lena giggled, proud of herself as she returned to teasing Kara. “And no topping either. I don't need you ripping those stitches open as you fight to fuck me just right.” 

“Lena! That is!” 

“It is?” Lena chuckled, overjoyed at having Kara squirm for her this time

“That is just cruel.” 

“And making me watch my alpha wounded and not being allowed to patch it up isn't cruel?” 

Kara whined. 

“I love you.” Lena whispered, kissing lower. “But, no topping, doesn't mean no sex, you know?” 

“Oh? And what does it mean right now?” 

“Right now it means I love you and it is your turn to relax.” 

“Love I’m not sure my biology can relax the way yours does.” Kara opened her legs, feeling herself harden and slicken for her omega,

“Well, we will just have to find out, won't we?” Lena cooed, biting at Kara’s jeans, slowly undoing the button with her teeth. She then followed up with some small sultry and sensual licks at Kara’s lower abdomen. 

Kara bucked, moaned, and groaned, her body building up heat as Lena grew closer to her sex. “Lena! God, please!” Kara pleaded at the feeling of her mate slowly unzipping her pants. “You, yo-” Kara was cut off by a familiar tone she was quickly beginning to believe was the work of the damn devil.

“You need to learn to SILENCE your PHONE” Lena scowled unamused.

“Silencing, silencing now!” Kara sat up on the bed, her anatomy screaming against the confines of her unbuttoned jeans.

“Good, now where was…” Lena’s excitement died out quickly as she realized Kara had not declined the call nor silenced her phone yet. 

“It’s Sam. Also apparently it is six already?” 

“Answer it.” Lena waived off. “We did leave a feral wolf in her basement.” 

“Sorry love.” Kara winced. 

“Umm, hello, I was just calling to check if you remembered… dropping off a FERAL WOLF in my basement? With me and my omega ASLEEP and UNGUARDED upstairs, you know, right across the hall from my PRETEEN DAUGHTER!” The phone’s audio cracked and clipped moments after Kara accepted the call, Sam’s infuriated protective voice shrilling through. 

“Ohh! She seems happy with us.” Lena snarked.

“I didn't wanna wake Alex, she was so out of it on the phone.” Kara excused.

“Well as thoughtful as that is, I would prefer so much as a fucking text message that I have two wolves in my basement. And what if Emma goes feral too!? We still don't know what caused Carol to go feral after her husband went!” 

“I know.” Kara felt the weight of the guilt she had been working on releasing crash back down onto her.

“And what the hell happened to you killing him? I know I said there was no shame in not being able to follow through, but! That wasn't an invitation for him to move in!” 

“Hey! Kara did the right thing! And do you see any other options for what to do with him? My safe room is still busted from last month.” 

“That doesn't mean you bring him here! And it certainly doesn't mean you do it without telling me or Alex!” 

“No! Kara did her best! And she got hurt because we had to go handle this without you!” Lena fumed protective of her mate.

“Hey! We discussed this and you two said that you could handle it!” 

“Yes, we did.” Kara agreed, attempting to de-escalate. “But things got out of hand and I got hurt.” 

“I! Are you ok?” Sam stopped dead in her tracks, all anger replaced with concern for her friend. 

“Yes. Lena did a good job of patching me up, and I’m healing now. Lena and I plan to take the day to breathe and heal.” 

“You are sure you are ok? Both of you?”

“Nothing a personal day plus some r and r can't fix.” Lena answered, cuddling up to Kara.

“Good to hear.”

“How are they?” Kara spoke up suddenly changing the subject.

“Max is pretty beaten and battered. But now he is relatively safe down in the cage.” 

“And Emma?” Kara centered in on the wolf she had really been asking about.

Sam took an audible breath. “She is about as well as you could expect. Her mate is still feral. She won't leave his side. Not even to come up for breakfast… She is scared. Frankly, so am I. If things never get better for him… I don't see her willingly leaving his side… And even if that doesn't cause what it did last time.”

“I know.” Kara cut off, not wanting to dwell on her past mistakes.

“It’ll be ok.” Lena whispered for her alpha. 

“And Alex?” 

“She is up in bed. Healing well, I’m sure all the healing is what has had her so tired. I found the note Emma left when I came downstairs to make her some breakfast in bed.” 

“Aww, that is really sweet.” 

“Yeah. We are having a day out today… You two wanna come? We are doing a day at the zoo?” Sam extended the offer. “We thought it would be good for Ruby to see her moms out and about, healthy and happy, not how we seemed last night.” 

“You wanna?” Lena and Kara whispered to each other. “I’m so tired.” They both followed up with the same words. 

“I think we are good. It is a day in bed for these two weary wolves.” Kara replied. 

“Ok then. Well, I’ll call when we get home tonight? We can all talk plans for how to deal with Emma and Maxwell?” 

“Sounds good.” 

“It’s a plan.” 

“Night you two, take care” 

“Thanks Sam. Show my sis a good day at the zoo, ok?” 

“Will do. Night guys.”

“Night.” 

“Night night.”
