After April had fetched what passed for the Highland Pack's stock of medical supplies and brought them to one of the unoccupied cabins, Cyan set to work patching up the unconscious girl as best he could. He and the third pack elder, Gene, seemed to be the only ones with any medical experience, and with the assistance of the older male he was able to remove the arrowhead and dress most of her wounds. The gash in her leg was the worst, and a further collection of scrapes and bruises demonstrated that she'd clearly been in a lot of trouble even before Cyan shot her, but none of her injuries were imminently life threatening. He didn't know which of the antibiotic pills in their dusty glass jars might be appropriate for treating the kind of fever the girl had, but Gene seemed knowledgeable enough to set aside doses for her to take over the next few days.

"A werewolf bite would fix her up overnight, of course," his companion mused absently as he finished cleaning and stitching her leg. Cyan frowned at him, but there didn't seem to be any malicious intent on Gene's part. He was strange. Vacant. In fact, this was the first time he'd heard the elder say anything at all since his arrival over a month ago. His obvious medical expertise aside, Cyan couldn't fathom why someone like Gene had been tasked with helping to lead the Highland Pack.

After an hour or so they had done all they could for the young woman, but Cyan remained by her side as she drifted in and out of consciousness on the hastily made pallet bed. Despite Harriet and Ingrid's assurances, he'd seen the looks some of the other pack members had given him. They weren't happy with outsiders in their pack, let alone humans who had no idea werewolves even existed outside of their stories and fairytales. He didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone, at least not before she'd been given the chance to talk to someone reasonable.

April came to bring him food a couple of hours later, and his heart warmed as she took his hand and left a hasty kiss on his cheek before leaving. It felt good to be doing something for once. Not just hunting and surviving, but making decisions and standing up for what he felt was right. Maybe if he could bring the Highland Pack around to this, then maybe he and April...

Not going to happen. He sighed internally. That fleeting kiss had almost made him feel like she could be his mate, in another lifetime. But it wasn't a realistic hope. There was too much standing in the way of that fantasy for it to ever work out.

He contended himself for now with watching over the sleeping girl, reassured that, regardless of whatever else happened between him and the Highland Pack, he had at least done some good things in his time here.

Cyan had begun to doze when a thin whisper crept into his ear.
