"Please take me with you" I beg Zane as he starts to leave. I feel pain surge through me. I try to mind link him but he isn't in my reach.
Or maybe he is just blocking me out. I move fast to catch up with Zane's pace. Its tiring me but I know that I have to do it.
"Where to you think he is" he asks me as we round a corner in the hallway past the dining room. I try to sniff him out but I catch no scent nearby. I must have surely angered him.
I feel hurt but that's not what I want to feel. I should be happy because he will send me back home if I don't please him.
That surely won't happen on my watch. Better find him you idiot.
My wolf purrs and I know that this is surely a deal I cannot lose. Suddenly I feel like someone has stabbed me on my lower stomach and I quickly grab it sinking to my knees. I groan in pain.
"What's wrong?" Zane asks looking worried at my actions
"Someone stabbed me. Its crazy but .... Its surely a stab" I say as I groan again.
"Then this only means one thing" he says looking at me hopefully. Is this man even serious. Am literally dying possibly from with craft and he is hopeful. Ya..right.....they are all going insane.
"Of course, this means that am going to die" I say stressing my words.
"No cutie, this means that he is near" really. That's why am in pain. Then I surely have to get as far away from him as possible for sure.
Before I even gather up strength to leave, he grabs me and moves further into a hallway by the right.
This fucker has to show himself. I feel my heart beat increase and I loosen my arm from his grip and turn back. I can feel it. I move back in the hallway and open the door to my right.
Its not dark as I expect but the sight before me takes my breath away for a second. He is there. Lying on his stomach.
Blood is all over the place and I notice the wound on his stomach. That's why I felt the stab. The idiot did it.
Wait a minute. Was he trying to kill himself? Shit. This wasn't supposed to happen. Out of instinct I rush to him and kneel in front of him settling his head on my lap.
His breaths are shallow and his heart beat is too slow to be normal.
"Cmon Caine, don't die on me please. Wake up. We will fix whatever this is. Just wake up" I say as tears threaten to come out.
Wait. Who the fuck just said those words. Its me. Shit ...where did that come from.
Before I even do anything, Zane grabs him and races out back to the room I was in. A doctor follows after us and am forced to stay out.
Am so clueless on what to do right now that I can't even sit down to process my thoughts. There surely has to be a way to help him.
I can't think of anything as I pace around the room. Right now only one person can help me. And I don't want to talk to her but now I have to. Eva.
"Could you help me with your phone" I ask Zane and he hands me without a word. I dial the memorized number and after two rings she picks up.
"Eva ..,I need help"
"You broke your side of the deal pretty one so don't count on me. " she says as she laughs and I can't help but grit my teeth.
"You bitch what did you do"
"Cut the story short. I don't have time to waste Ella. I sure have have better things to do" I can hear noise from the other side to clear any doubts I might have.
"Just tell me how to fix this" I can hear the pleading in my voice as much as I hated feeling vulnerable.
"Live the life you are destined to" and that's it. She just fucking hung up on me.
And just in time, the doctor comes out walking towards me. I quicken my steps and look at him hopefully.
"He is awake" is all I hear and rush into the room without thinking. He is there lying on his back looking towards the door and my gaze meets his. I feel as if my world has come to a stop as tears start running down my cheeks.
I don't even think twice when I run into his arms and hug him tightly. I don't want to think anymore because all this will come to an end if I do.
I feel him wince and I pull back immediately not wanting to hurt him further.
"What's wrong? Are you okay? How is the wound? Should I get you anything? Do you want the doctor, or Zane?" I want to stop the tears but it doesn't work" just tell and I will get it"
He motions towards the door and I see Zane walk in with Jenna beside him. I run towards her and hug her almost squeezing the air out of her.
"Bestie its okay. He will be okay." She says but I know none of that is true.
That little bitch Eva.
I turn to see Zane looking at me and I know that I won't like what is coming next.
"What is it...tell me...cmon" I try to shake him to get him to spill it to me.
"The smell on you Ella. Its repelling your mate bond. Its repelling him...,." He says and I take steps back till am out of the room and shrink to my knees beside the wall.
Nobody is here so at least I will get the privacy I need. How was I to know it would affect him.
Of course its now clear. He stabbed himself to numb the pain. Shit.
I did this so that I wouldn't have to be taken away by my mate but it still happened anyway.
I can't believed this happened to my mate.
My wolf growls and I know that she is also angry. But am not angry. As much as I hate it. Am desperate.
Eva will surely pay for this. How can my mate bond repel him. I sure don't want him but my wolf loves him.
And that's when I got it. I should live the life am destined to. Of course. I quickly rush to a dark corner and undress.
If the human me doesn't accept him then my wolf will. And I shift.
My paws hit the cold floor and I shake my fur as the scent of my wolf growls stronger as I near the door.
I push it open and step in to see that they were still there.
"Ella" Zane remarks as he steps in my way and I growl loud enough for him to get away. Jenna stands by his side as I pounce on the bed beside Caine.
I nuzzle his neck to show him my affection and reluctantly he runs his hand through my fur.
I lie down and put my head just above the wound and start purring slowly hoping it would help.
When I hear him snore softly... I can't help but also follow cue. I rest my paw on him and fall asleep.
I feel the sun rays hit me and I try to cover them with my hand. Wait ...did I just say my hand.
I must have shifted back in my sleep.
