The Refugee's Mate (Werewolf Story)

Chapter 19: Consequences

Liam

Wow! I didn't see it coming!

I'm not saying I'm not hot for my mate, I am. Proudly so. But I don't mean that literally.😅

My mom got called away from her job as Principal Burke reported to her that I was running such a fever nurse Adams thought it best to take me to the hospital right away.

I was admitted, examed and medicated by the doctors who looked worried at me. It's not uncommon for mated people to go on rut, but it is highly unusual for them to heat up as I did.

An hour later, as I'm lying there with a drip hooked to my arm, taking medicine, my mom is talking to the doctors trying to discover what the hell happened to me.

"Are you feeling better, honey?" - She asked me, entering the hospital room I was in.

"I am now that your job comes with health insurance." - I snickered, causing her to laugh.

"I'm serious, Liam. You gave me quite the scare today. The school nurse thought you were gonna have a stroke at any moment from the fever." - She said, grimacing at the thought.

"My mind is still a little foggy with all the lust I felt for my mate, but I'm mostly normal by now." - I replied, sheepishly.

"I knew you could go into rut for not completing the bond. But what the hell happened?" - She comments, baffled.

"I have no idea, mom! I just felt like I needed..." - I trailed off, blushing.

"Yeah, I hear the entire school witnessed you getting what you needed!" - She snickered, reminding me of the scene earlier at the cafeteria.

"Oh my Goddess! I'm so mortified! How do I show my face in that school again after this?" - I blushed at the thought.

"Relax, Liam! It wasn't your fault! You weren't in your right mind when you did that." - Mom consoled me, scoffing at the near sex show I put on.

"I'm so glad Seb called out his friends when he did, I was just about to do something I'd regret for the rest of my life!" - I gasped at the thought. Really, I was seconds away from giving the entire student body an eye full of my mate's anatomy.😳

"He's a good friend. I'm glad you found someone." - She smiled at me contently.

The doctor entered the room.

"So, Mrs. Forsythe, William, we've been running all the tests we can think of to determine what happened to you earlier." - He started with a concerned look.

"At first, we thought it was leukemia." - He continues and I gasped in shock.

"Cancer?!" - I shouted in horror. Mom sat down on my bed she got so horrified.

"Yes, but it isn't. The test came back negative." - He said and I sighed in relief.

"All the tests came back negative. For now, the best theory we can come up with is that you're in heat from the lack of bonding with your mate." - He concluded, though that part I kinda figured by now.

"But doctor, I thought only females could get strike by heat." - Mom spoke, frowning in confusion. Me too, mom.🙄

"Normally yes, but since William's mate is an Alpha werewolf we think his body is reacting to his mate's Alpha DNA and that's what prompted the heat to strike." - The doctor explained, trying to make sense of the events.

Both mom and I sighed with a contemplative face, processing the information the best we can.

"But we will run a full work up, including DNA analysis of William to determine the cause. Rest assured, we're not stopping now." - He asserted, very confidently.
