Heal Me

|nothing but pain|

I bolted out of bed and rushed to the bathroom. I fell next to the toilet and gagged as the sick feeling was burning my throat. "Caleb, what's wrong?" Dom asked as he kneeled next to me. I shoved him away and turned away from him. I didn't want him to see me like this.

My full body was shaking and I was covered in sweat. My eyes felt heavy. "Baby, look at me." He murmured. "Caleb, look at me." He demanded. I turned and glanced at him. He gasped and grabbed my face gently. "What's wrong?" He panicked. I shook my head and gagged again, leaning over the toilet. He wrapped his arm around my waist and held me tightly against him while I heaved. 

"I'm just going to get you some clothes. I have asked the doctor to come." He mentioned as he stood up. I whimpered and glanced at him, my eyes going wide. I didn't want him to leave me. "I'll be right back, you need to put something on... at least boxers." He explained as his eyes turned black. I nodded slowly and rested my head on my arm. He came back and helped me into some shorts. 

"Do you want to stay in here or come to the bed?" He asked. I held my hand out and he helped me up. He wrapped his arm around me and helped me to the bed. I laid down and curled up, bringing my legs against my chest. I whimpered as the pain spread throughout my body. "Baby, I don't know what to do." He whinged. "Hold... me." I choked. He climbed on the bed and wrapped his arms around me and brought me to his chest. "Werewolves don't get ill, I don't understand." He whispered. 

I held onto his shirt, as I writhed in pain. I was hot and clammy but shivering like I was cold. I pressed my body against him and whimpered, clawing at him. I didn't know what I wanted, I just know I needed to feel him."Shush, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." He whispered, rubbing his hand up and down my back. The contact from him wasn't doing what I wanted it to, nothing was easing the feeling of my stomach ripping from the inside. My heart felt like it was going to thump out of my chest, my chest felt like it was squeezing my lungs. "I love you, Caleb." He breathed. 

I heard the door open and a doctor walked in with Amaris behind her. "Hi, I'm Doctor Lee." She greeted, "Your brother is in hospital, with the same symptoms as you." She whispered. My eyes went wide and I tried sitting up but fell back down. "What's..." I couldn't speak, the pain was too much. "What's going on? Mum?" Dom's voice was quiet and broken. He was scared, I could feel his emotions. 

"We need to get him to the pack hospital... He needs to be near Carson." Amaris answered, kneeling beside the bed. I whimpered and shook my head. "There has to be something else you can do, he doesn't want that." He grumbled. "He's in pain because he's near Carson." She replied, "So, why the fuck do you want him to be closer?" He growled. "Watch your tone, Dominic," Amaris growled. 

I reached up shakily and held my hand against his cheek. He inhaled deeply and looked down at me. "Their bond is causing this, it's like a mate bond that gets rejected. They need to be close, close contact is better but it will work just being in the same room." She explained. "What will it do?" Dom asked. "It could repair the bond, but it will definitely give them both relief." The doctor replied. I sucked in a breath and shuddered. 

"What do you want to do, baby? I could take you far enough away so you aren't near him or we can move you to the pack hospital... Tell me what you want?" He pleaded, gazing into my eyes. I sighed. 

Do I want the bond to be fixed? Could we be brothers again? I didn't know what to do, the pain was nothing like I've ever experienced. I don't want to see him because I know it will hurt but I can't go on with this pain. It's never gonna end unless he leaves and he's in no fit state to travel anywhere. I'm stuck, do I make him leave and have him and his daughter out there, alone on my conscience or do I be near him just to relieve us both and possibly repair our bond?

"Pack hospital," I whispered. Dom nodded and looked at the doctor and Amaris. "I'll go ahead and get him a bed ready, bring him as soon as possible." The doctor nodded before leaving the room. "Don't leave me," I whined. He leaned down and pressed his lips to my forehead, "Never." He whispered.

He hooked his arm under my legs and wrapped his arm around my back and picked me up. Amaris wrapped a blanket around me, tucking it under my head so it didn't fall. "I'll come with you, son," Amaris murmured holding the door open. I could feel Dom's body trembling as he held me against his chest. "I wish I could take this pain from you, baby." He whined through the link. I closed my eyes and pushed my hand up his shirt that was bunched up from my body. 

I placed my hand over his heart, his body went rigid and he sucked in a breath. I hoped he knew what I was trying to say. I had no energy to speak and my mind was too clouded to attempt to mindlink. We reached the last floor of the packhouse and I could feel eyes on me, I knew pack members were looking. A warning growl vibrated from Dom's chest towards the pack and then I heard feet shuffling away. 

He carried me to the pack hospital. The cold air helped a lot, I took several deep breaths dragging fresh air into my lungs. I kept my head on Dom's chest and sighed. He stopped and glanced down at me as I opened my eyes. "Are you sure?" He asked, his eyes searching mine. I nodded then he stepped through the doors of the pack hospital.

"Alpha." Someone greeted, I kept my eyes closed and breathed deeply gathering as much of Dom's scent as I could. "This way... We have a private room set up for Beta Caleb and his brother." He added. I trembled in Dom's arms as we got nearer. Carson and my dad's scent invading my senses and I cringed, holding onto Dom harder. 

A door opened and Dom turned a corner. "You, out." He deadpanned. I opened one eye and saw my dad's face as he scanned his eyes over me. He looked worried and I didn't like it one bit. He carried me towards a bed and laid me down. I grabbed hold of his shirt as he stepped back. "I'm not leaving, don't worry." He soothed. 

I let go and took a deep breath. Carson's scent replaced Dom's and I felt worse. I thought this was supposed to help? I turned my head and glanced at Carson, he was already looking at me. He looked... Cleaner. His eyes were dull and lifeless, his once sooty grey eyes reminded me of the sky before a thunderstorm. He gave me a weak smile, his lips barely moved but I could see the corners twitch slightly. 

He held his hand out slowly across the bed, I stared at it. "Please," He whimpered. I took a deep breath and reached across and placed my hand in his. I gasped loudly as comfort spread throughout my arm and settled in my heart.
