Bullied Once, Loved Twice

Chapter 33 - Unexpected event

Devan sighed as he looked at the hospital's grim room, how most of the walls had years of dust stuck to its paint, how some of the windows looked like mold was growing on it.

He hated hospitals, they brought horrible thoughts to his head, he hated their smell, the sounds and the atmosphere.

The doctors had told him he would be able to leave today, but Devan wasn't sure he wanted to, Devan would need to go back to his father, something he loathed to do, but if he did not, Matheo would be put in danger.

With a slow pace, Devan passed a hand through his hair, looking out the foggy window, if only there was a way around this situation, maybe he would be able to get out of his father's hands once and for all.

"You're the only one who is unmated, we need you to find an unmated kitsune."

His father's words echoed loudly in his head, perhaps he could counter this if he found his true mate, he wouldn't think twice about it and would happily claim them.

At this point he would even claim a kind shifter, only to escape his farher wrath, yet that idea seemed to scare him far too much.

And the issue still remained that he couldn't find his mate without his inner animal, he needed to get blood from someone of the same animal, that way, he could find his mate.

At least, that's what that witch had said, but perhaps she could still do it without the use of someone else's blood.

Devan sighed again, slowly standing up from his bed, he needed to go see that witch again, she owed it to him after her little trick, he had to find out what animal he was immediately.

With determination, Devan put on fresh clothes that Matheo had brought, taking in the nice sweet smell from it, it hurted him to have to give up ever dating Matheo, but this matter was of utmost importance.

"His safety is all that matters." He mumbled to himself before leaving the room, making his way to the help desk where he signed his release papers.

He was going to get his way with this, there was no other options for him, he knew time was ticking, his father would be after Matheo soon enough.

He didn't know exactly where she lived, but if he could get back to where he and Matheo had gone from, he could potentially make it there again.

Giuliana jumped when a knock echoed on her door, she knew it wasn't that cannibal again as it did not reak, her windows were all open after all.

She walked over to it and swung the door open, eyes locking with the handsome man that stood before her, she clicked her tongue opening her veil as she walked back to let him in.

"I didn't think you would be back." She said with annoyance, Devan rolled his eyes as he walked in, crossing his arms as he stopped in front of her.

"It's not like you were very helpful last time, obviously I'd be back for more help."

"No, I meant I didn't think you would be back considering how badly your father seemed to be wanting you back." She said as Devan stiffened, clear surprise on his face.

"My father came here?"

"Yes, now. If you'll excuse me, I have better things to do than waste my whole day on cannibals. Hurry your ass up. What do you want help with now, I already gave you a solution." She said as Devan shook his head, clearly he wasn't pleased with her answer.

"I will not kill someone for my own benefits, especially Matheo. I need to know my animal, you took blood from me... What animal is it?" He said as she rolled her eyes and sighed, shaking her head.
