THEM

CHAPTER 19

CHAPTER 19

ELLIOT'S POV

I am now standing where I last left Lola. I put her in a secret room filled with flowers. The room looks enchanted, like a scene out of a fairy tale book. But the place I left Lola is now vacant.

I squat down from where I laid Lola's lifeless body last.

A tear strand escapes my eye, as I growl out in anger, but in pain as well.

"Look everywhere! Search Everywhere! Now!" I growl out to the pack trackers who stand near me. They squirm in their position and bow. then run off and taking the orders I give them.

It's bad enough Lola left me here alone, but now she's not here at all. What sin have I caused from my pass to earn this agonising pain.

I bow my head and squint my eyes tight, trying to not let any more tears shed.

"I will find you." I whisper to the flowers that surround the room that accompanied Lola's eternal sleep.

I get up from where I stand and walk out of the secret room, shutting the door gently. I then walk towards my office. Although Lola died, I still have to try and prevent anything else from happening. I can't afford another rouge attack.....I can't afford loosing anyone else.

MILE'S POV

I'm reading the label of the bottle that Dane used to relax Ella on the attack.

Symptoms include:

illness, exhaustion and memory lost.

I grit my teeth at the last part, then grab Dane's collar.

"Did you know this would happen!?" I scowled at him. He shook in fear as he mumbled.

"No, I didn't know. I'm sorry, just please don't hurt me." I looked at him with fury as rage spread through me.

I then threw Dane across the room, making him fall through the glass window in the kitchen.

"Miles." I heard Ella whisper as she approached me.

"Ella." I looked at her and walk towards her as I gripped her in a death hug.

"What's wrong? Why are you up so early?" I ask as I remember it's only 5 in the morning, but I couldn't sleep. Not with everything that's going on.

"I don't feel so good, my head feels all fuzzy." She whispers. I then release my embrace and look her in the eyes. She really didn't look well.

"Come with me." I said as I held her hand in mine, and led us towards the pack doctor.

*******

I was now in the waiting room as the pack doctor was running the test to see if they could fix Ella's memory, or if it will get any worse from here.

I paced up and down the hallway, anxious to hear what the pack doctor had to say, that's when the doors opened and the doctor that was examining Ella came towards me.

"How is she? Is it bad? Will she be okay?"I asked in a hoarse tone as I waited for he's response. He soon coughed while looking nervous.

"Ella will be okay, but her memory on the other hand." The doctor started off.

"What!? What about her memory, spit it out!?" I scowled out at him, even though it wasn't he's fault, he was just doing he's job. But I was to frustrated to keep my cool.

"Ella doesn't remember anything from recently, and it will continue like that way until we can stop it. We need an antidote, but an illness like this has never occurred before, so it'll be hard to find something that can cure her."

I then slumped on one of the waiting chairs in the hallway as cold sweat dripped from my forehead.

"How bad will her memory get?" I whispered, with a hint of pain in my voice.

"In a few days she won't even remember today."

I felt my heart shatter at he's words. My mate is ill, but I can't do anything at all to help her. This is my fault. I held her down as the needle went into her!

"What about a few months?" I asked in a hoarse voice as I still kept my gaze down at my shoes.

"She won't even remember her own family. She won't remember you, or everything she's went through with you."

My eyes went wide in shock as I felt myself beginning to break down in pain, or ready to kill Dane. I was in pain and anger, still deciding on what one to choose to do first.

I then stood up and ran towards Ella, in the hospital room. I embraced her in a tight hug as I leaned my head in the crook of her neck.

"Don't forget me." I whispered as I felt a tear trying to escape me.

ELLA'S POV

I pushed Miles away as I looked in he's eyes. Where was this all coming from?

Don't forget me?

What does that mean? Is there something he's not telling me?

I then notice the tear strand falling across Mile's cheek. I put my hand on he's cheek and rubbed the tear away with my thumb.

"Where is this all coming from? What did the doctor tell you?" I asked confused.

He shook he's head while closing he's eyes as he leaned he's face in my hand.

"Nothing you need to worry about." He's voice sounded like it was going to break but he seemed reluctant into telling me what was bothering me.

"Miles. I'm your mate. Your problems are mine, your fights are my fights. Tell me what's bothering you so I can help."

He opened he's eyes and looked gently at me. He was staring all over my face as if it was the last time he would see me. As if he was going to loose me....it hurt to watch.

"Just don't forget me, promise me. Please Ella." I looked at him confused. I can't help but feel he's hiding something from me. I mean who asks their mates this?

"I promise." Mile's face soon lighten a little bit, but he still held the pain expression.

He smiled weakly as he mumbled; "Thank you." He then kissed my hand as he held it with he's other hand, not letting it go.

I smiled at he's sweet gesture. He really didn't force me into anything, he was always patient with me, now thinking about it. Mates are suppose to be mated....but I wasn't ready, I'm still not. Most girls my age would of gotten it over and done with, but I wasn't like other girls.

I was bonded to a Werewolf. And the thought still scared me.

"Come on." He whispered to me, as he cut me off my thoughts.

"Where to?" I asked.

Miles soon grabbed my waist and put me down off the bed I sat on, he then took my hand into he's big one as he led us out of the small pack hospital.

"Let's go outside and enjoy the sun."

I smiled at he's response as I stopped and jumped on he's back, he soon chuckled and wrapped my legs around he's waist as we made our way out of the pack house.

I rested my head on he's muscular back as I inhaled he's scent. For some reason I couldn't help but feel like one day all of this won't exist. Like I'm going to wake up from this dream and forget all about Miles and he's brother. What was he's name again? Meh, it'll come to me at some point.

But this feeling scared me, but I just hope it was just a feeling and nothing else. I don't know what I'll do if I ever forgot about Miles.
