10. Beta Dalton

After 1 hour and a half trip they landed in the next town. They found a hotel room booked by Elizeo in his name as they had planned.

After calming down she dyed her hair, they both turned blonde. Early in the morning around 6:00 they left the hotel and boarded the next bus to another city. So they swapped three buses, until they found the destination.

Beta Dalton was returning from the city after meeting one of the omegas living in the city and giving him information. As soon as Guendolin and Isolde got on the bus beta Dalton immediately smelled the scent of his mate.

He was sitting behind the driver to tell him where to stop, as they both walked towards the end accompanied by eyes. He smelled blood, worried that his mate mght have been injured but noticed that the younger one was barely walking and her mother was holding her. Maybe they were sisters or friends he thought. Both wore hooded jackets despite it being a warm spring day.

He heard the heartbeat of both of them, he smelled fear, blood. Switched from the last seats. Sat at a seat in front of them.

Her mother put her hand on her daughter's forehead as Guendolin leaned powerlessly on her shoulder.

"Oh Guen you have a fever. You are burning."

There he realized that she was the daughter, heard the horror in her voice. He turned his head and saw her frightened eyes as they searched around.

"Forgive me for interfering, I inadvertently heard the word 'fever'. Is she your daughter?"

"Yes." She replied in a low voice.

"My stop is near. I will take you to the hospital if you want."

"No thank you."

"Look I have no bad intentions, your daughter looks very bad. If we do not take her to the hospital as soon as possible I am afraid her condition will deteriorate."

Tear-filled eyes weighed down and tears rolled down her cheeks as beta Dalton felt her pain.

"OK. Just save my daughter, please."

A wave of enthusiasm filled his chest, he would take his mate with him, he would take her home. But she was human, he had understood it by scent. He informed the bus driver where to stop, paid for the three and helped them get off the bus.

"Do you have bags with you?"

"Two suitcases and two backpacks. Isolde replied.

The suitcases were taken out. Guendolin was already helpless, Isolde could no longer support her weight.

"Let me hold her."

"I can hold her myself."

"You will both fall, we are walking very slow. Let me get there faster."

Isolde allowed him. He took Guendolin in his arms as she pulled one of the suitcases because the others were carried by beta Dalton even though he had her daughter in his arms. But she did not know about his physical strength did not even know what he was. When asked for identification they were told they had lost the ID, she gave her real names but not her last name, she gave her maiden name.

Beta Dalton noticed that there were bruises on her neck. Later on he noticed bruises in the arms, her shoulders but Isolde gave the excuse that she was clumsy and collided with things. When Guendolina saw the scars and blood on Quentin's body she remembered that night. The wound had not yet closed and she had lost consciousness from panic.

Dr. Joseph Dixie saw tears well up in Guendolin's cheeks from the corner of her eye, despite the fact that she did not move with her eyes fixed on the ceiling.

"Do you see the tears? It means she is listening to me."

He explained to the nurse who curiously reached out and checked.

"Well, let's take a break. I will come to dinner again." He continued as he wiped the tears with his finger.

"Take off the force shirt, she does not need it anymore."

The doctor and the nurse came out, and she narrowed her eyes, now with her free hands turned to the side she tightened her arms as if to hug herself to comfort her.

She was sleepless, without eating, without her mom, without Quentin. Slowly she fell asleep.
