"P-poisoned?"

"Yes, he has been poisoned. He seems to have been poisoned with an unknown substance which I cannot detect. It's eating away at his immune system and insides, and seems that it will eventually kill him."

I was in shock. Who could have done this? My so called grandfather? Would he be this evil to do such a thing to a child?

"Can you save him?" Celeb asked, reading my mind.

"I can try drain it all out of him, but he wi-"

"Can you just drain it out first, before he dies? Please?" I ask. This pack doctor was probably going to explain thing, while Raphael was there dying!

"Oh yes, right away." He then proceeded to usher us out the room and called in a few nurses. Caleb brought me into a hug.

"It's okay to cry if you want to." He muttered to me.

"I know, I just..no tears are coming out."

"He will be okay, don't worry."

"It's just, I know we only met him not long ago but I've already grown attached to him. He's so innocent and sweet. How can you not fall in love with this little boy? I mean, I am glad Jaxon basically forced us to adopt him.. He's such a happy little bundle of joy, even if he's gone through so much already. What will happen if he dies?" I ask, looking up into Caleb's eyes.

"Sweetheart, he won't die. But if he does, he will be with his parents and he will be happy.

"But-"

"No, you've got to be optimistic. He will live. I have trust in your pack doctor and I have trust that he will save Raph. You need to have trust and faith in him too. Alright?"

"O-okay." Caleb and I stood together, hugging. Until my family came up to me.

"Baby girl, he will be okay."

"You don't know that, dad. There's a possibility it's already too late."

"You've got to listen to your father, and your mate. They're both right. He will be okay."

"But mum-"

"No, Chloe. I am telling you he will be okay. We may not know what he's been poisoned with, but we know that the doc can save him. Just have some faith, you can't give up that easily!" She said, then putting her hands on her stomach, smiling down.

"Alright, mum. Where's Seth anyway?"

"He's at home, why?"

"I just, I need to see him. He's my twin, haven't really been away from him for so long. I just miss him, really."

"Why don't you go home? We will call you if anything happens." Dad suggests. It sounded like a good suggestion, but I wasn't sure. I wanted to be here for Raphael. "Go on, we'll be here for him."

"Um, alright.. I'll be back soon, okay?" They nod. I go to leave, and Caleb walks me out.

Once we're standing outside, I wrap my arms around his neck and envelope him into a hug. "I love you." I mumble.

"Mm, I love you too, sweetheart." We pull back and he kisses me, but it doesn't last for too long. "Now go on, sooner you see Seth the sooner you can come back. Don't worry, I'll be here for him, alright? Whatever it takes for him to get better, I'll make sure that it happens."

"Thank you, Caleb."

"I'm not just doing it for you. I'm doing it for him and me. I do care a lot for him already. I didn't think I would, but I do. I wouldn't want anything to happen to him, just as you wouldn't. Now go on, sweetheart."

"I'll be back very soon."

"I know, and we will be waiting. We will call too, if anything happens. Good or bad."

"Thank you." I then take off in the direction to my house, sprinting. For some reason, something told me to run. No, it wasn't my wolf. Maybe a gut feeling? Once I reached my house, I heard screams of agony.

Seth!

What if my so called grandfather got him?! I burst through the door and head in the direction of the screams. I head upstairs, realising it was coming from his room. I thrash open the door and find him on the ground, screaming in pain. I run up to him and kneel beside him. "Seth? Oh my Goddess, Seth! Are you okay?"

Then I heard it, bones cracking.

Oh. My. Goddess.

He's fucking shifting.

"Seth, you gotta listen to me okay? We've got to get you outside." I slightly saw him nod. "You're shifting, okay? You can't shift inside the house, it's better to be in open ground. Come on, now." He was still on the ground, in pain. I stood up and helped him up. He screamed and screamed but I soon managed to get him out. As soon as I placed him gently on the floor - so I didn't make him endure anymore pain than he already was in - he shifts.

Dad, get back to the house. Seth just shifted!

Seth stood, in his wolf form. He looked at me. "Hey Seth. Well done, you've shifted. You're a werewolf." I said, smiling. "You've got to learn to control your wolf. When you want to shift back, just think of shifting back into human form. You've got to learn that sometimes you have to overpower your wolf." He nodded, in his wolf form.

He ran around a bit, getting use to being a wolf. He fell a few times. He reminded me of a newborn..

"Seth! Chloe!"

"We're out here, dad!" Soon enough, dad came running into the garden.

"Oh my Goddess. I can't believe this.." He said. "This is amazing." Dad walked up to Seth, who was just walking around getting use to himself in wold form. Dad stroked Seth and Seth growled. "Don't you growl at me, young man." We admired Seth for a little while longer.

"How did this happen?" I ask. "He's human, isn't he?"

"Yes he is.. My guess is that the werewolf genes somewhat kicked in and bam, he's a werewolf."

"This is great. He can find his mate! Wait, that meant he's always had a mate this whole time.. Oh my, you hear that Seth? You're get to find your mate!" Seth's tail started to wag and I knew he was beyond happy. How cute.

"Alright son, shift back now. We will go to the hospital first then once the kid is okay we will come to terms with this. Baby girl, go get Seth some clothes."

I ran upstairs and got Seth some clothes. I threw them at him once I had reached the garden. We turned around while he shifted and dressed himself. We then headed to the hospital and waited for at least a couple of hours. But still, no news.
