Chapter 11

The days dragged on slowly and they only seemed to get worse. Jade would stay to herself in her room. She wouldn't come out to eat or socialize with anyone. She just wanted to give up on life. She thought about ending it all once or twice, but the only thing holding her to the earth was Seth at this point. Even though she hasn't seen him since she was kidnapped, the thought of him would calm her instantly. That was the power of mates. The only problem was that she couldn't bring herself to get out of bed to visit him. Plus, anytime Jade would sit up she would always feel sick to her stomach to the point where she wanted to throw up. Blaire would make her food throughout the day but Jade never ate any of it.

Jade did throw up once and she almost didn't even make it to the bathroom. She was so lethargic from her lack of self-care that she almost threw up in the hallway. Jade didn't know why she felt like this but she didn't tell anyone. Jade just stayed in her room isolating herself from the cruel cold world.

One the other hand, Peyton was starting to show a little more improvement with his mental health. Thanks to the help of Grace and the pack therapist, Peyton had stopped cutting himself. After a week had passed since Jade returned, Peyton's doctor decided to prescribe him antidepressants to help him function throughout the day. The bond between wolves is a very intricate and complex connection. Not enough words can describe the love between pack members, especially related pack members.

Blaire still felt the raw pain of losing her brother and it hurt very badly, but her mate was always nearby to comfort her.

A week ago, when Jade was found, Alec had a talk with Charlie and Blaire. He talking about his past with Leah. He talked about how he used to be blind and how badly he treated Leah. He didn't talk to Jade and Peyton yet because he wanted to talk to them separately.

Alec woke up early in the morning to go visit Remmy. His recovery was coming along quickly. Rem had a couple of broken ribs but he should be healed within the next two weeks. Grace has been taking good care of him and practicality treating him like a baby. Rem didn't complain at all since Grace waited on him hand and foot.

When Alec pulled up at Rem's house, he found Rem laying down on the couch. Rem was shirtless and he had gauze wrapped around his torso. When Alec walked in Rem tried to sit up to be a little more proper but Alec raised his hand. Rem stopped moving and laid back down. Due to all the movement, Rem had a series of coughs. Grace heard him and rushed into the living room.

"Didn't I tell you to stop moving! You would heal a lot sooner if you stop pushing yourself so much." Grace scowled at his noncompliant behavior.

Rem smirked, "So bossy."

"You're very brave to say that because I could make you even more crippled right now," Grace said even though she would never hurt anyone. She couldn't even hurt a fly if her life depended on it. Her relationship with Rem is comical to watch.

"You promise?" Rem raised an eyebrow.

Grace just scoffed and handed Rem a glass of water and a pain pill. Then she left Alec and Rem alone to talk.

After Rem took his medication, he spoke, "At the meeting yesterday, did you tell them that vampires might be apart of this?"

Alec nodded, "How are you doing?"

"So the big bad Alpha does care after all."
