MasukMy heart stopped in my chest. Isadora was pregnant. The dream I had was not just a dream. It was the truth. Isadora was pregnant for me. I was going to be a father. I was going to have a son. Happiness slammed into me so hard that it made me dizzy, my vision blurring for one glorious second. I was going to be a father!Someone let out a whoop so loud that it shook me out of my head, only to find out that the sound came from me. I made a noise. The whoop escaped from my lips. I grabbed Isadora and pulled her into a tight hug, then remembered that she was pregnant. I pulled back instantly, and when I met her gaze, the relief in them was so visible that it made me pause for a moment. Then something she said earlier finally made sense to me. The bit about ‘And I think it's important for you to know now so that if you do not want it, then we can make arrangements here to take it away.’“Wait a minute. You thought I was not going to be happy about the baby?’I asked. She held my gaze as
“We have to keep him here for a little while. Just enough to know that there is no poison left in his bloodstream. His nerves and muscles are also not back in their full shape yet, so we will keep him on his usual medication a little longer. But the danger has passed now, and you have absolutely nothing to worry about, Ms Isadora.”The doctor had a kind smile on his face as he spoke, his gaze trained on my mate. Isadora shook his hand. “Thank you. Thank you so much. I appreciate everything you did,” her voice dripped with gratitude, her shoulders slightly hunched as she watched him leave. When the door closed behind the doctor, Isadora turned to face me. I held out my hands.“Come here,” I said softly. She hesitated for a second. “You are not fully recovered. The doctor said your muscles are still weak from the effect of that poison.”I raised my eyebrows at her. “It's just a hug, Little wolf. Also, did you not throw your arms around me the minute you saw that I was awake?”Her ch
“Elias!” Isadora yelled from somewhere behind me. I turned towards the direction of her voice, my heart pattering in my chest when I found her. She was standing several feet away from me, and I immediately started to move towards her. The moment I took a step though, the ground shook violently, and the floor splitted open between us. Isadora remained where she was, but the ground I was standing on kept moving farther and farther away from her, until a large chasm separated me from my mate.“Find your way back to me. I am waiting for you,” she yelled, then looked down at her stomach before looking back up at me. A small, hopeful smile grew on her lips. “We are waiting for you.”My brows furrowed into a frown. We? I wanted to speak, but my lips refused to move. I looked at her stomach instead, and to my surprise, she was pregnant. The realisation hit me in the chest like a truck. I blinked, and right before my eyes, she transformed. Her pregnancy faded away, and now she was holding a
“Isa. Are you okay?” Carlos asked. I could feel his gaze intensely trained on me, but I didn't turn to look at him. Instead, I continued to gently dab at Elias's forehead with a hand towel. “Isadora…” he called again. Erina was out getting food for me, since she said I was too gaunt for her liking. I wish she was here to deflect Carlos's question. But she wasn't, so I turned to face him. “I am. I mean, minus the fact that my mate has been unconscious for about two weeks now and does not seem to be responding to treatment, I think I'm pretty chill.”He sighed and took a step away from the window, closer to me. “That's not what I meant, Isa. We are all worried about Elias. But you look pale. Extremely so. And you've rushed over to the restroom like three times to throw up since we got here. What is going on? Are you not sleeping enough? Do you want a doctor to take a look at you?”His voice remained gentle as always, but for some reason, his words rankled me. I glared at him as I
“...the poison is very deadly. We have not been able to identify it but we would like to assure you that we have toxicology experts, people who specialise in poison, working very hard to identify what type of poison it is.”“...he is completely flaccid. His muscles do not seem to be working. There are no reflexes.”“...brain activity is minimal. We are unable to identify how much damage was done.”“...he can’t breathe on his own. The ventilator is doing all the work.”“...we have to administer medications to prevent his kidneys and liver from shutting down.”“...administer more IV fluids…”“...keep his blood pressure up.”Those statements, and a lot more I was not willing to think about, were what the doctors said, and were still saying, when we rushed Elias to the hospital a few days ago. The poison had almost taken his life, but we managed to get him to the hospital on time. Tears filled my eyes as I stared at him, different tubes running in and out of his body as the doctors tri
I slammed into Terrence, raising my claws to swipe at his side. Even more blood spilled out of him, and the sight surprised me a little. Judging from the amount of blood he had lost, how was it even possible that he had more blood left to lose?The fight had gone on for longer than I expected, and it had turned into a bloodbath. We were both massively injured, and with the poison in my bloodstream, I was just one push away from keeling over and losing unconsciousness. I could feel the cold hands of death hovering above me, and I knew if I was not fast enough, I would be saying hello to untimely death before long. But Terrence… that bastard was still alive. He was weak and tired and the fire in his eyes had dimmed, but he just was not giving up. And I needed him to. I needed him to tell me where the damned scientist was hiding but he was just so fucking stubborn. With a roar, I pulled together every last ounce of strength that I had left in my poisoned ravaged body, and shifted back
It wasn’t until later that evening that I realized exactly what had happened.After Elias left, I seemed to be in some sort of haze. Penny checked on me and made sure I was fine before finally letting me out of the hospital wing.There was a car with a guard that drove me out of the hospital, and t
As Alpha, I was mostly confined to the comfort of my pack.It was right in the middle of the other packs. It was both a good and a bad thing. On one hand, I could easily move between packs, I could walk along their borders while keeping away from their territory, but at the same time, I was out in
I awoke with a gasp.Every part of my body hurt: my sides, my lungs and my limbs. I couldn’t lift my arms. I suppose it made sense, seeing as I’d fallen off a cliff. Memories of last night came rushing back to me and I cursed. I wish I’d died.I couldn’t bring myself to open my eyes. A part of me
Growing up, I never liked my birthday.My father was always too drunk to deal with me because it brought along reminders of my mother’s death. He never failed to tell me how he wished that I’d died instead of he, and it didn’t help that I looked like her.I’d heard stories of my mother even before
