Forbidden Bonds

Chapter 2

Sebastian

A few hours pass without hearing anything from the doctor. Eventually, Sebastian gets impatient and walks to the young woman's hospital room. "Doctor," he mindlinks her, "I'm outside of the woman's room. I need to talk to you now."

"Coming, alpha," Dr. Graylen responds. She comes out of the room. "What can I help you with, alpha?"

"I want an update on her condition."

"She has pneumonia."

"Pneumonia? Wolves don't get pneumonia."

"Yes, well, it seems like she may be a hybrid."

"What sort of hybrid?"

"I'm not sure. I haven't exactly had time to ask her. Alpha, she's very unwell right now and extremely frightened. We need to be patient with her."

He frowns and says, "I know. She doesn't have a scent though. As alpha of this pack, no scent is a bit concerning."

"She may be hiding her scent."

"Why? She's safe here."

"Perhaps, her wolf is doing it unconsciously for safety reasons."

He sighs again. "Alright, just keep me updated and let me know if she does anything suspicious."

"I will."

Skye

Skye sleeps for a few hours before waking up. She leans over the side of the bed and throws up. Dr. Graylen comes rushing into the room when she hears the noise. "Oh dear," she says softly, when she sees the mess Skye has made.

"I'm s...sorry," Skye whimpers, as she uses her hands to shield her head, "D...don't h...hurt me."

Dr. Graylen's expression softens once again. "I won't, I promise." She cleans up the mess Skye made and places a trash can beside the bed. "There now if you throw up again, you won't make a mess."

"Thank you," she whispers.

Dr. Graylen places a cool cloth on Skye's forehead. "You'll start to feel better once the antibiotics take effect."

"Doc...tor?"

"What is it, sweetheart?"

"Ha...ve to tell you some...thing."

"What is it?"

Skye gently places her hand on her stomach. "I...I...I'm...there's..." Skye looks flustered.

Dr. Graylen sits down next to her. "Take your time, sweetheart."

"A b...baby," Skye whispers softly, "there's a baby."

Dr. Graylen looks startled. "Where?" Skye doesn't respond, instead she gently touches her stomach again. "You're pregnant?" She nods in response. "The father?"

"I d...didn't w...want h...him. I d...didn't w...want i...it. H...he m...made m...me." Tears silently begin to fall down her face. "I d...didn't w...want i...it, b...but I h...had t...to."

"Sweetheart, why did you have to?"

"He w...was g...going t...to h...hurt G...Gray and T...Theo."

"Are they his as well?"

Skye nods, looking sad. "I'm s...s...scared."

"Shh, it's okay. You're safe here. He'd be pretty stupid to try and take someone off our pack lands."

Skye suddenly remembers that she's on enemy territory. She whimpers softly. "The alpha?"

"You'll meet him soon. Once you're well enough."
