Her Human Mate

Hate being sick

Crystals pov

I arrived home at around ten o'clock tired from standing on my feet all day. I might be a werewolf but I still get aches in my feet and back. I climbed the stairs ever so slowly and headed toward my room. I opened my door to find James sleeping in my bed. I sighed and dropped my jacket on my desk chair. Why can't I have my room to myself sometimes? I thought mentally and rolled my eyes. He's always around me, I'm not going to complain too much about it because he's basically the only friend I have. Other people tolerate me.

I walked to my closet and grabbed my essentials and clothes so I could freshen up. "Short cake, s'that you?" I heard a groggy voice say. I turned to look at James but he was still lying on his stomach. "Yes it's me, James." I whispered and headed toward the bathroom. "I'm just about to take a shower and head to bed." He rolled onto his back and stretched a little. "Okay I'll be here." I smiled and closed the door. I know he will.

The next morning I woke up feeling sick for some reason. Being an omega sucks. I can't heal as fast as other werewolves but I can heal quicker than humans. I looked over to my right to see an empty spot. I'm guessing he went out for his usual pack duty stuff. I sat up slowly and groaned at the throbbing in my head. It feels like I'm literally dying.

"I'm sorry I can't heal you quick enough. I'm trying my very best, human."

"It's fine Aurora. I'll be okay." I felt her relax a little hoping she knows that I don't blame her for this. I mind linked the packs doctor asking if she could bring me some cold medicine and ice packs. I'm literally sitting in a room that feels like lava.

Doctor Jenny came rushing in with a worried look on her face. "Oh my, you poor baby. You get so sick easily. You look awful." She sat beside me and laid me back down. "You rest up. I'll call your boss and tell him you're unable to make it. Here take these." She handed me purple pills and OJ. I recognised these pills from her office. It's healing medicine. I thanked her and she left to make the phone call. That reminds me of my mate. He never gave me a call or text. I wonder what he's up to. Gosh he's so beautiful. I can call him beautiful right? I dismissed this internal conversation so I wouldn't put too much stress on my body. Right when I took my medicine and put the ice pack on my head, my phone decided to ring.

I groaned and aggressively snatched my phone off of my table. I looked at the called ID and saw that it was James. I answered with a slight growl. "Uuhh-should I call back later?" He panted. "No, no I'm just- I'm a little sick right now and I feel like the world hates my guts."

"Oh pudding pop I'm sorry for bothering you. I'll leave you be. Get some rest now."

"I'll try my best to do so." I said sniffling. Ew my nose is running.

He ended the call and I grabbed the box of tissue from off of my dresser. Once again my phone rang. I answered without looking at the caller ID. "James I thought you said I could be left alone." I whined. There was silence and then someone cleared their throat. "Crystal?" I noticed his voice instantly and cringed. "Goddess Brian, I'm so sorry I thought you were my Best friend." I heard him chuckle and I sat up fully aware of how his voice is literally caressing my eardrums.

I feel better already.

"It's fine I hope I'm not bothering you or anything. I just wanted to call you so you wouldn't feel stood up or anything. I was just a little-" he cleared his throat again. "I fell asleep before I could call you."

"It's fine you're not bothering me I'm a little sick though, I don't know how I got sick but I did."

"You were perfectly fine when I saw you. Do you need company? Oh-well I mean so, you know, someone could comfort you a-and you won't feel alone. I know we just met and everything but umm . . ."

I should help him out here. He's so cute and awkward. Like me! "Yes, yes that'll be awesome. I'll text you my address. Oh and my family is gone for like another week or so for some business meeting stuff." I said giggling at the thought of him coming over and meeting everyone. "Hmm... well thank goodness. I'm not prepared for the 'so what are your intentions with my daughter' lecture. Not that I'm saying I'm interested. No! I am it's just . . . I'm sorry this is all so sudden I don't know why I'm acting like this. I'm going to shut up now." Yes it's sudden but the mate bond is strong. It's not like normal human feelings and emotions. It makes you almost instantly fall in love with one another. But I'm surprised he can feel it already. Mom told me it took her a while to start feeling the effects. How is it effecting him already? "Crystal you there? Sorry if I'm making this weird for you. I don't have to come over if you don't want me to. It's perfectly fine if you feel weirded out or whatever. This is weird for me as well I've never done anything like this before trust me. I've just said the word weird about a thousand times just now." He sighed as I chuckled.

"I love him already!"

I winced when she started to scream. I mentally blocked her out because my head was still killing me. "Brian." I whispered. "Yes Crystal?" Gosh! Even when he whispers my name it's sexy. "I'll see you in a bit okay?" I whispered back. "Okay but why are we whispering? "

"It's more interesting this way." I giggled. "I have to go now bye mat-eeyyyy." I said with a nervous laugh and cringing at my poor attempt of covering up the word mate. What is wrong with me? I heard him chuckle a few seconds later. "You're cute." He said. Gosh what is he doing to me? "Thank you."

"N-no problem. Bye."

"Bye." I hung up the phone, grabbed my pillow and groaned into it. I can't believe this is happening. I met my mate yesterday . . . He's coming over today . . . He's coming over! Are we moving too fast? We just met. I barely know him and he's coming over? Oh whatever he's my other half. My soulmate. It'll be fine. I need to get ready. I sat up slowly and pulled the blankets off of me. I walked to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. Goddess I look terrible.

Gosh I hate being sick.
