Charlottes POV
Okay that was the third scariest thing ever! Some night hunter was in the woods saw Bane running towards us and thought he was gonna attack so he shot him! So Adam explained that he was a hybrid dog and the hunter apologized and hoped he didn't die. I got pissed and yelled at him that only crazy people hunt at night. Like who does that? So anyways now Banes in the hospital injured and pasted out and I've been by his side for hours. Adam brings me food then leaves to talk to the doctor. I sigh " Bane what did you mean I'm not okay? What do you know that we don't?" I ask him there's no reply since he's still out. I think Adams mad since I'm here staying with Bane but he did it for me so I'm returning the favor. I start singing to myself quietly and somewhat to Bane " you have a nice voice" Adams voice says from behind me I blush " thanks I think" I say. Adam sighs "do you love him?" His question catches me off guard so I end up choking on spit and coughing uncontrollably. Do I love Bane?! What? Do I? Of course but Adams the one I'm suppose to love isn't he? My mouth opened but I close it, I stare up at Adam blankly. When Bane went to go investigate Adam pulled me in for a kiss and it turned into making out it was enjoyable and sweet and comforting but not what I'd expected. I shake my head to clear it " I don't know I've known him longer some what" I tell Adam honestly I see him give me a weird unidentifiable look. " I see well I have to get back to the pack are you going to stay with him?" He asks I nod he sighs " okay I'll send Macy later" he says before leaving. Once he's gone I bury my face in my hands my emotions are bouncing everywhere "what am I going to do? My heart says one thing yet my soul says another?" I whisper to myself.
'Follow your soul' maya says.
'All my life being told to follow my heart and I never have now that I want to follow it you say follow my soul and of course my brain can't help because it's confused with everything that's happening"I tell her.
She sends me her sympathy before being quiet again. I stare at Banes peaceful face, he looks so young and careless I raise my hand and trace his face. I trace his full lips and his strong nose "your quite handsome for a old man" I giggle imagining what he'd say if he was awake. Grab his hand and squeeze it a tear leaks from the corner of my eye. What if he had died? What then? What's with my mood swing? Ugh something's wrong with me or is it because it's almost the time of the month? Hmmm. I'm brought out of my thoughts when Bane moves, I put my face over his so when his eyes flicker open all he'll see is my face. When his eyes finally open I'm rewarded with a priceless reaction. "Jeez Charlie way to scare and injured man" he says I smile evilly he laughs. I sit back and grin at him " how do you feel?" I ask he shrugs " like I've been shot" he says I frown at him " you were and why'd you say I wasn't okay?" I ask him he sighs " well you have a poison in you that is slow spreading and makes it so you never find your true mate" he explains " the first unmated male you see is instantly tricked into thinking your their mate and once the poison reaches your heart and brain you believe it to and once you try to finish the mating process you" he swallows "die." I sit in silence just staring " so if Adam try's to mark me I'll die what will happen to him?" I ask Bane sighs " he'll be insanely heart broken unless he meets his true mate right after but it's not likely so then the rouges, hunters and vamps will attack because he'll be at his weakest" he explains my mouth drops. Okay so not good, "wait your unmated why didn't it work on you?" I ask him he shrugs " could be I'm your actual mate could be that my wolf didn't buy it" I sigh great a mystery! I call Adam and tell him.
Turns out Macy wasn't needed because the nurse checked Bane and said he's good to go. Bane gets dressed in his own clothes that I got for him from his room at the Maryweather farm. So he's ready when he is released from the hospital.then I start the hour long ride to Adams. "So still love me?" Bane asks grinning at me ,I make a face "nope I don't know you why are you in my car?" I ask innocently he laughs I grin I love his laugh and his eyes and his smile and his voice so deep. "I'm sure, so ahh I guess I should tell you more about myself" he says I groan "listen old man I don't want one of those back in my day stories" I say making an old man voice Bane glares at me "I'm not an old man I'm just immortal thank you very much" he says. I laugh if only Adam was this easy going. "If you were alpha of a pack and I was luna would you make me act like someone I'm not?" I ask him seriously he goes silent thinking it over "no a luna needs to be able to connect to her pack and being professional and proper is just boring same with an alpha they need to be fun and friendly but be able to spring into action at a moments notice" he says finally. I smile slightly he should so be alpha not boring old Adam.
