His Luna's Betrayal

Hope

I can't believe what she's saying. "Your going to risk you own life for hers?".

"Yes, I am. I've already alerted the other high council members to the situation and they will be arriving shortly to watch over my body during the process".

"But why? Why would you risk your life for us?".

"Because my family name has been drug through the dirt by my sister who has bought shame to our family. Through this I have hope that I can once again bring honour to my family by righting her wrongs. You and you family never deserved this". She immediately leaves the room so I decide to stay with my mate.

Barely 15 minutes later Desirée returns to the room followed but 5 others who I assume to be her fellow witch's.

"We need to start the cleansing process as soon as possible. These are the witch's that will be here to help keep my power lvls up during the process. They will all rotate, each spending a day here before going to recuperate and returning when it is once again there turn until the cleanse is complete or I'm dead. I wanted you to see them before we start as no one other than them may enter the room during this time. You make keep watch through the viewing window but that is all. I can't risk you disturbing or distracting me during this time".

"If it's what will get Meagan better then I will bare it. Just make sure the blinds are open at all times so I can see her, it will help keep my wolf and myself settled". Maybe I should order guards on the doors to make sure I don't try sneak in if I get desperate.

"Well I shall be getting started straight away". Four of the witch's turn and leave while one follows Desirée into the room while I remain outside to observe through the window.

A second bed has been placed into the room next to Meagan's existing one for Desirée. She climbs into the bed and allows the other witch to strap her down, she already explained to me that this was required to make sure she doesn't knock out the needle and tube connecting her to Meagan.

The other witch slowly does the same to Meagan before inserting a needle into the top side of her hand before connecting it to a tube with a needle on the other end. She turns to Desirée and pauses with the other needle just above her hand until Desirée nods her head and she inserts the needle on the other end of the tube into her.

Suddenly Desirée's body arches off the bed before she begins bucking around in obvious pain. Her breathing eventually begins to slow down as her body movements stop. Sweat has become obvious as she lays there with her eyes shut. A permanent grimace on her face as she lays there with her eyes shut.

The other witch slowly walks over to the door and slips out quietly. "My name is Beatrice, I'm first on duty to help the mistress. I will be providing her with my energy during the day to keep her going as she won't be eating or drinking during the entire process as it can't be disturbed. Our extra magic essence will keep her going. It's going to be a long road, the poison is very powerful and she will barely be able to treat a drop of her blood at a time if she wishes to stay alive. I would not be surprised is this takes close to a month. I suggest you go rest and try distract yourself from what's happening here. It's up to the mistress now, nothing you can do will chance the outcome of this, whatever it may be". I don't even get a chance to reply before she goes back into the room.

Watching from outside the window so I can keep an eye on Meagan I barely notice what's going on around me. I switch between pacing and sitting on a chair outside Her room. I don't even notice when Hunter and Rosalie come and try get me to eat or sleep. My sole focus is what lays in that room that I've completely shut everything else out.

Hunters pov

5 days. It's been 5 long days that Alex has been waiting outside that room watching over Meagan.

I've been so busy running the pack that it wasn't until last night that Rosalie made me aware of Alex's condition.

He doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep, he hasn't even changed his clothes or taken a shower since Meagan went into that room.

I've been standing here for over 10 mins right in front of him and he hasn't even noticed me. It's like he's looking right through me, it's kinda creepy.

"Alex? Mate I need you to listen to me. I know your worried about your mate but your daughter needs you too". I wait and try again after receiving no response. "How about you have something to eat and a good sleep and you can come right back afterwards?" Still nothing. I lightly shake him but he still doesn't move. Shit.

I nod my head to a dr standing nearby who's been waiting. "Sedate him, put him in the room next to Meagan's, keep him knocked out until she's ready to wake. He hasn't been eating or drinking for 5 days either".

I really wish I didn't have to do this, but I'm worried he will just waste away to nothing and die right before our eyes the way he's going. I hope for his sake Meagan pulls through. Guess I better get back to all this damn paperwork.

Alex's pov

I slowly come too to find myself laying in a hospital bed. Looking around I notice Hunter sitting off to the side of the room watching me.

"Shit I fell asleep, is Meagan ok? I better go check on her".

"Meagan's fine, in fact she about to wake up". Hunter shocks me with this news.

"Wake up? So soon, but I thought it would be an extremely slow process to cleanse her of the poison.".

"Alex. It's been over 2 months since they started the cleanse". Hunter watches me cautiously trying to gage my reaction.

"2 months.. but how? I couldn't have been asleep for that long. Is this some kind of joke?".

"You haven't been asleep Alex. You had stopped eating, sleeping and looking after yourself as you were so focused on Meagan. I had to choice but to get a dr to sedate you and put you into an induced coma until we were ready to wake Meagan up. It was the only way to make sure you actually stayed alive since you didn't seem capable of doing it yourself".

I'm absolutely shocked to find this out, but I guess I should be thankful someone was at least watching out for me. "I guess I should thank you. But right now I just need to know everything that's been happening to Meagan and to make sure she's ok".

I push past hunter and on shaky legs stumble my way to Meagan's room using the wall for assistance in staying upright.

Desirée exits her room just as I'm about to enter. She really doesn't look good. She looks absolutely exhausted, her skin is pale and she's lost a lot of weight.

"Is it done? Is she ok?" I need to know.

"It was touch and go there towards the end but it is done. She will wake up thinking she has just fallen asleep".

"Thank you so much". Peering in I see Meagan is back in wolf form. "Why has she changed back? I thought if the poison was gone she might stay in her human form".

"The poison is gone, but the effects of being feral for so long can't be erased. She will have to learn how to function with a human society again, but that can only happen if she wants it. You may find that she chooses to remain wolf, the decision is up to her now. At least now she will feel the mate bond once more so you shouldn't have a problem binding again even if she chooses to stay in wolf form".

"I'll take her any way I can have her. Thank you again, you can stay here to rest before you travel if you wish, but I must excuse myself, I want to be by her side when she wakes". Shutting the door behind me I stroke her fur waiting for her to wake up.

Slowly she stars to stir. Rolling onto her belly I hold my breath waiting to see her reaction to me. Instead of the closed off look I'd been so use to getting, meagan is suddenly yipping with joy and jump clear from the bed. Not expecting it the force of her hitting me sends us both to the floor. I don't even have a chance to sit up before meagan is standing over me and franticly starts licking my face.

"Alright, alright that tickles". Finally getting her to calm down I manage to push her away enough to sit up.

She backs of and start darting from side to side in invitation. "You wanna got outside and play do you?". Her frantic yipping before she bolts from the room is the only answer I get. Shifting into my wolf I chase after her ready to play with my mate.

Finally I have hope.
