When the team returned to Winter, they drove straight to the Safe Zone. The hospitals from the southern territory had been reduced to nothing more than a medical triage outpost. Cold Warriors and Frostbite soldiers stayed in the patient rooms between their rotations. Any new refugees were first checked there before being sent north.
Inside the Safe Zone, the SUVs drove straight through to the hospital, where Bell and Axel waited for them.
As they pulled up, Ashleigh was the first one taken inside. Peter called ahead and let them know about the wounds. Alice was quickly taken in after her.
Axel watched as both his sister and his mate were taken inside the emergency room unconscious.
“I’ve got them, Axel,” Bell whispered, nodding to him reassuringly before rushing inside to follow after her patients.
Axel took a deep breath and swallowed, calming his nerves.
“How long have they been out?” he asked the team leader.
The team leader shook his head.
