Shadows Master [UNDER EDITING]

Chapter 5

Previously on S.M

"He is my mate and he was in distress, I-I couldn't help it." I murmured and a look of disdain crossed her features as she began stroking his hair. "Why is he so powerful? Why should I be afraid of his powers?" I demanded stepping closer and she turned to gaze at me with a pitiful look.

Because his Father is Hades, ruler of the Underworld and his Mother is the Princess of the Heavens, the Moon Goddess, Selene." She informed me and my eyes bulged open and my mouth fell to the floor.

"Holy shit." I blurted out, still wide-eyed and shocked.

Its been 2 weeks and I'm still processing what Elizabeth told me.

"Is that why you wouldn't tell me?", I asked. My voice almost a whisper

"Tell you what?", she asked back her voice sounding normal. Like this didn't just happen.

"About his parents", I said, with a little 'duh' tone in my voice.

She let out a soft sigh and ran her hands down her face before folding them in her lap. "They were murdered."

I was at a loss for words. I didn't really know what to say, and I can only guess that she knew because she started explaining how.

"He was 12 when I found him. He told me there was a man with long silver hair that was hunting him down. Murdered his whole village, even tried torturing his friends to get info on him. They obviously denied him, but that made the man attempt to kill them both".

I looked at her puzzled, "what do you mean 'attempted'".

She looked at my mate, with what I assumed was pity.

"One died", she paused, "the other, he's alive."

That's excellent, so why is she still looking so sad.

"What happened to him?", I probably shouldn't have asked that, but curiosity did kill the cat.

"He's in a coma right now. Has been for several years".

"Isn't there a way to wake him up"?

"Yes, there is, but I need an alphas blood to complete the potion", she said.

"Well last time I checked I am an alpha with blood. So I could help you there.", I told her chuckling a bit at the beginning.

Her eyes seem to become full of hope. And me, I couldn't help but smile at her and my new found happiness.

So, here we were, in Adams hospital room. Elizabeth had the potion mix in hand. Berlin was standing next to a sleeping Adam, his hand holding Adam's hand in a death grip that looked like his bones might snap at any moment.

Elizabeth looked back and forth between Berlin, Adam, and the bottle. Berlin let go of Adams' hand and walked over to her, resting his hand on her shoulder reassuring her.

And that was all it took, she gave a small nod, let out a shaky breath, then walked over to Adam. She slowly put the bottle over his mouth and poured the purple syrupy liquid into his mouth. She walked backward back to where my mate and I were.

5 minutes passed.

10 minutes passed.

20 minutes.

30 minutes.

An hour passed by and nothing happened. Berlin left at the 30-minute mark, he couldn't take it. The agonizing wait, it would cause anyone to break down. I mean try to imagine it, if you had a small sliver of hope to cling onto and have that crushed right in front of you.

Eventually Elizabeth and I left too. For the rest of the day I use my hearing to keep watch on his heart monitor. Later that evening ,while we were all cleaning up our dinner mess, I noticed something. Berlin has yet to say a word to me. And what made me realize this was when I reached over his arms to grab the soap to wash the dishes he flinched away from me. My heart broke then, some of me felt rejected and hurt, while the other part of me wanted to kill the person who did this to him.

I also realized something else, it's too quiet. I'm not picking up any sounds except a small ringing in my ears. I know what it is too. Dropping the plate in my hands, barely recognizing the crash and the yelp that comes from Berlin. My wolf takes over, going full alpha mode.

I turn to Berlin, "get Elizabeth".

He looks shook like he just saw a ghost and I understand why. My eyes are probably red, my voice getting deeper and rougher. I pull away real quick, take a quick breath, and tell him.

"It's Adam", the face getting more paler by the second, "he's flat-lined."

He's frozen, he can't move.

"Berlin!", I yell to get him out of his trance, "GO! Go get Elizabeth!"

He turns around and runs up the stairs yelling for Elizabeth. As for me, I run to Adam's room, mind-linking my packs' doctor.

'James! I need you here ASAP!'

'Yes Alpha, but...um...where are you exactly? he asked back a bit of confusion in his voice.

'618 Cherry ave. Hurry! We have a man dying!

'Understood, I'm on my way Alpha, I'll be there in less than 10 minutes.'

After our little chat, I run into the room to find Adam arched off the bed, eyes wide open and rolled backward, foam dripping out of his mouth. And every time someone tried to get close to him shocks of lightning would shoot out and try to electrocute us. Finally, after of five minutes of this, he finally stopped and not long later James ran in with a couple of his subordinates.

All was silent until his attacks started again and we could do nothing but watch and wait. And when they finally stopped again so did his breathing, along with all of his support systems.
