Royal Rogue [Book 2: Royal Series]

Chapter 22

♛ Cameron's POV ♛

I rush my dying princess to the pack infirmary. Mary, the pack doctor, rushes up to me along with two others and a stretcher. I gently place her on it and they wheel her away with me watching after her. I knew I would only get in the doctors way.

We were losing time.

I stop my pacing to look at Dr Mary. I rush over to her with inhuman speed and she looked shocked. I've been waiting for hours and it was killing me.

"How is she?" I ask, silently begging the universe and The Moon Goddess that I would like the answer. I couldn't lose her, my princess. Dr Mary offers me a smile, letting my hope rise. "She is in a stable condition but is in a coma like state. We had found big doses of wolfsbane and liquid silver in her blood stream. We are currently flushing it out of her body with fluids. She is recovering surprisingly faster than we thought. Now, it is up to her if she wants to or not." She says and I have to restrain my wolf from taking control. He hated that she was poisoned. He wanted to kill whatever he came in contact with but I couldn't let that happen. I rush into the room that held my princess, not caring if I wasn't supposed to be in there.

She would keep me calm. My princess has been gone for too long. I sit in a plastic chair that was besides her bed. She looked fragile and was pale. Over all, she looked exhausted. Relief floods through me at the prospect of Arianna's awakening. I knew she would wake up.

I had all of my faith in her.

Beep beep beep

It's been a day since I've gotten my princess back. A day since she was almost gone forever.

Our mate bond was still gone and it won't be back till Arianna gets her wolf back. That'll be when all the poison is out of her body. The doctors say that could be a week or two.

I run my thumb over her skin, wanting more than anything for my princess to wake up. I stand up, ready to attack when the door opens. Anastasia walks in and when she sees my stance, she holds her hands up surrender. "I'm not going to hurt her." She says gently and after my wolf decided she's not a threat, I relax my stance. She comes forward and stands by my mates side, the opposite side to me. I watch her cautiously while she watches my mate. Anastasia grows a pained expression, one similar to her twin sisters. I watch as tears slowly build up in her eyes and as they fall from her eyes, staining her cheeks.

My head tilts to the side slightly. Where is her mate?

Soon, she's sobbing which makes her body heave. My eyes shoot to her hand as it slowly lifts to my mates body and holds onto her hand. My body tenses even more but even in my state, I knew that what I see in front of me is a twin being heart broken at the sight of her fragile twin.

Suddenly, Anastasia's hand retreats and she dashes out of the room. My body relaxes and I sit back in my seat, holding my mates hand. I don't even question Anastasia's haste exit. My mind was solely focused on my mate.

The sounds of her heart rate on the monitor is quickly becoming a constant factor, especially in the time to come.

I stand up, stretching my muscles. I've been seated in the same chair for a good eighteen hours. It was in the early hours of the morning, at four. I haven't gotten any sleep at all and haven't even shut my eyes. The doc said that almost all of the poison was out of my mates system, almost.
