Silver Meets Royalty

Chapter 8- I'm Sorry

One week later

Phoenix P.O.V.

Silence. Silence is all I can hear. The smell of Imene's blood coated the grass showcasing the spot she was laying a few days ago. I can hear my beta try to get my attention but I couldn't respond. I couldn't think or feel anything other than guilt. I was foolish to think that my pack grounds were well guarded to keep her safe. The only silver wolf in the world. Now if I loose Imene I honestly don't know if I'll be able to go on without her.

I shut my mind link off because I was overthinking about Imene. I know I don't deserve someone so head strong yet selfless. Someone so powerful yet merciful. I even accepted the fact that I may not be enough for her. Grey suggested that I should just share my feelings with her and open up but now grey is giving me the silent treatment while whining in my head for his mate. Instead of being an asshole and avoiding her I should been by her side.

It's been a whole week since that attack on Imene. Mubina clearly wasn't the target because the rouges never went after her when she ran to get help. The way Imene fought for her life was truly admirable and I have no doubt she could've took them if they were normal rouges.

Rumors from the packs in the east have been reported of vampire and werewolves becoming one creature by an experiment that was designed by humans. It was never any proof until now. It took five royal warriors to take out two and one of them got away. Their eyes are a mixture of red and yellow and their fur was almost skin like. They had the speed and strength of a werewolf and vampire which made them equal to an lycan.

As future king it's my duty to start meetings and spread the word of this danger in the werewolf community yet all I could do was worry that i'll never get to see Imene beautiful eyes or hear any of her snarky comments. I would do anything just to see her roll her eyes and tell me to fuck off because at least then she will be okay.

She has been in a coma this entire week with no real progress. The pack doctors can't even give me an estimate on when she will wake up.. or if she will. Her injuries were severe to the point that if she was not a silver wolf she would be dead. The doctor had to stitch her internally and externally to close the open wound on her neck. I was afraid that she was at risk of becoming a mutuation because of the bite however I was ensured that all the venom was extracted immediately. Nobody knew why she was in a coma since she seemed physically healed up. The depressing thought of knowing I may never get the chance to make her happy won't go away.

I enter my bed chamber where I got the doctors to set up as a hospital room after day three of being in a coma because grey was on edge to everyone. My instincts are telling me we have traitor in the mix because someone had to help those rouges get passed the boundary undetected. I move a strand of hair that was sticking to the side of her cheek. She no longer looked pale but she was just so stiff and I couldn't tell if she could hear me.

''I promise you Imene, when you come back to me I will never let you go. I will never hurt you nor ever make you feel unwanted. You will be my queen and to the people who hurt you... they will pay. Imene please come back to me.. without you I am truly... nothing,'' I confessed as I did something I haven't done since I was a pup. I cried.

I cried my worries, my doubts, and my stress of being the future king. To always have to do something verses being able to do what I want. I cried for failing my mate in the one place she should be the safest at. I cried for the future I secretly always craved to be happy with someone who was destined for me. I cried at that fact that she may never forgive me.

I ran out the room swiftly to go let grey out before he took over my body again. Lately he has been way stronger than me to the point he can speak for me. I didn't want to destroy our room or hurt a pack member so running was my best option but nothing will help until Imene wakes up.
