🍷ALEC VOLTURI X HUMAN MATE ONESHOT🍷

Winters in Volterra are usually cold, but this year's season appears to be more unforgiving than usual. When you end up sick in the hospital with what you had thought was just a common cold, how will your mate react to the news? And more importantly, will he be able to help comfort you...?

💊READER'S POV 💊

You let out a weak cough as you shuffle down the hallway, pulling Alec's cloak tighter around your shoulders. It was the middle of winter here in Volterra, something that usually put you in a good mood, due to all the snow. But this year was different; it was one of the coldest winters you've ever experienced.

As you round the corner, you nearly run into Demetri, who places a hand on your shoulder to steady you before you can fall. His crimson eyes search your face with an expression of concern in them. "Darling, you look terrible! And what on earth are you doing wandering these halls without any socks on? These floors are freezing, Y/N!" he softly admonishes you.

You let out another cough, your fingers clutching at the fabric of the cloak around your shoulders. "I was looking for Alec, do you know where he is?" you whisper, your voice hoarse and barely audible. The Tracker sighs, glancing out one of the windows nearby.

"Yes, he left early this morning with Felix and Jane to go investigate rumors of a nomad wandering through Florence. They should all be back later today. Did you need something?" he asks. You nod, moving your arm up near your face to hide a sneeze. When you lower it, you notice Demetri watching you with a look of equal parts disapproval and sympathy.

"Come on, tesoro... Let's get you back to bed, yes?" he says. You let out a shuddering sigh, and go to place your hand in his. As you do so, your vision starts to get a little fuzzy, and you feel very light-headed all of a sudden. Demetri's noise of panic is the last thing you hear before your world turns sideways and the darkness closes in...

✴DEMETRI'S POV ✴

I watch in horror as Y/N's body sways towards her right, and a panicked noise slips past my lips as I hurry to catch her before she hits the floor. Shit...! She's gone and blacked out on me...! After carefully lifting her into my arms, I hurry down the hallway, passing Heidi on my way. She takes one look at Y/N and shakes her head at me. "What did you do?" she asks, raising an eyebrow at me. Is she kidding me right now?

"Rather bold of you to assume that I had anything to do with this! I think our little Y/N is sick. Though just how sick, I haven't a clue. Heidi, darling, what the ever loving hell am I supposed to do, she passed out on me..??" I exclaim, beginning to panic. This isn't good; if Alec finds out about this, he'll definitely make sure there's hell to pay. Heidi sighs, placing a hand gently over Y/N's forehead, before pulling it back with a soft hiss.

"Demetri, you need to take her to the hospital, now! Feel her forehead, the poor girl is burning up!" she tells me. I shake my head at her, my mind still a jumbled mess. "No, no, she looked like she only had a slight cold when I found her, she-" I start, but Heidi cuts me off with a look. It's one that she's often given Felix on a number of occasions, the kind that means no nonsense.

"Demetri. If you don't take her, I will. The poor thing probably has pneumonia. She was playing out in the snow earlier today." Heidi says firmly. I know she's right; Y/N's condition is probably more serious than it looks. But there's no way it could be that bad, right? Only one way to find out, I suppose....
