Only Time Could Tell (Even If We Are Different)

11

Mitch walked into the room which his best friend laid as though he was dead but when he got closer he realized that he was still breathing, but he couldn't realize why he was so pale.

“Why is he so pale?” He asked Louisa who has just been looking at Miles with sad eyes the entire time.

“We performed to operation on him twice, the first operation was done by my coworker, and they didn't know that his heart was bleeding, and somehow his veins were filled with so much wolfs bane and silver that I felt as though the bond was fading away, he was dying…"

“Hold on a second, the bond?” Louisa swallowed hard, not really knowing if Miles would want him to know.

“We're mates.”

“Wow!”

“So he somehow died and came back to life several times trust me I have no idea how that happened, but it did and that's why he looked so pale I guess, but he is stable right and healing well.”

“Did you have any idea on how he got here?”

“I barely spoke to him before the whole reaction happened, and I did the secondary operation.”

“How could I thank you enough?”

“You really don't need to do that, he is my mate, your best friend, and he badly needs help.”

“He really does, your dad told me that he will be staying in the pack.”

“That's what I heard, I wasn't here, and I really haven't spoken to my father or him about him. But do you think it's safe for him to stay here?”

“Oh hell yes! Your father is the nicest Alpha I've ever met and you being his mate just kind of improves his life.”

“What do you mean?”

“He has been through a lot in the past three years, you guys' relationship meant a bit…"

“Shut up” Miles stopped him before he said another word and they both snapped their heads towards him to see him looking at them with wide eyes.

Louisa immediately picked up a glass of water and fed him with it, while Mitch was just looking at the gesture between them.

He knew his best friend too well, and he was actually scared that Miles might do something outrageous to her due to the decision of not having a mate in his life.

He cleared his throat and they both turned to him, breaking off their stare.  Miles swore that he would have kicked him if he were able to, but he knew damn well that he really couldn't do that.

“What are you doing here?” Miles asked and he let out a dramatic gasp.

“I think I taught you some manners when you were a little younger. That is certainly not how to greet someone, especially when it's when you are waking up.”

“Ok, good afternoon grand master I do hope the family is doing fine I presume.” Louisa watched as they went against each other, and she suddenly burst into laughter.

It was no joke, but their conversation just reminded her of Cheryl and how their conversation used to go.

Miles was completely amused by how she sounded, and the way her hair slowly lost itself and flow behind her was just another view that he couldn't just explain.

He feared letting her in, and she seems nice and all but looks and character can be very deceiving which made him just admire in silence.

“You guys are really hilarious, crazy friends.”

"He is way crazier than me, come on! Look at us, who is the crazy one? “ Miles picked one of his pillows and threw it at him which made him immediately go down.

“Ok guys you need to stop, this is a hospital” they looked at each other and then back to her before letting out a sigh.

Louisa reached out to the operation cut, but she stopped and asked him if she could take a look at it, she really wasn't sure if he had healed completely.

He raised his hand from the area, and she lifted his shirt up to see it. To her surprise even a scar wasn't there, but when she pressed it, he groaned.

“Don't do that” he said softly and Mitch put his hand over his chest in shock as too. The sudden change of voice.

“Sorry it's just that you are completely healed, but it still hurts, it seems strange.”

“That's what happens when I have an operation. The exterior heals before the interior and I just have to rest but…" He tried to feel a bit shy and Mitch lost it.

“Oh I am impressed by your acting skills Miles, you really are…"

“Mitch,” he said in a warning voice.

“You know girl! I am shocked to see this! You know I usually find him hanging on a tree, and he will go crazy jumping from left to. right and he is surprisingly acting so soft and calm… I really have to ask Louisa did you give him a brain surgery as well?” Miles threw the blanket off him.

“That's it!” He declared wanting to get out of bed to give Mitch a piece of his mind, but Louisa pulled him, and she accidentally slipped.

Mitch was already at the end of the room while Louisa had fallen on Miles. They both stared at each other as though there were absolutely no one in the room.

His gaze dropped to her lips and back to her beautiful eyes. Louisa was too stunned by the stunning features of the man before her that she couldn't even move an inch.

The mate bond had wrapped around each other's fingers when they barely knew each other or their stories. Miles unconsciously lean in to kiss her, but the door flew open and Louisa immediately pulled away and fell on the floor.

Cheryl looked at her best friend on the floor completely concerned and then Miles who looked like a deer caught at gunpoint.

“Is this the wrong time?” She asked.

“Not at all, but please if you are going out take this idiot along with you, " Miles pleaded and that's when she realized that Mitch was in the room.

Louisa stood in her feet with the help of Miles's hand, and she looked at Cheryl who was still confused as to how on earth she ended up on the floor

“I just came to check on you guys and everything seems weird” Louisa immediately grabbed her best friend's and wanted to walk outside, but then she remembered something.

“Do not kill him and don't look for his trouble” she tells them both, and they raise their hands up in surrender.
