¿ACCEPT? ¿REJECT?

CHAPTER EIGHT

WILLOW POV

Taking a seat next to my bed, Carlisle takes my hand and kisses the back of it, a sweet gesture that is oddly comforting.

“Nice to see you are almost completely healed, and you are definitely looking much better.” He says, his smile infectious. “Yes, and I want to thank you for helping me, I wish I could remember what happened so I can stop being a nuisance to you.” I say looking at him earnestly.

Without warning my body is wracked with pain, it was so sudden and intense it caused me to scream out uncontrollably, just as I do the nurses are running into the room, worried looks on their faces.

My body coated in sweat and I am trembling so violently. Before I know it, I am vomiting aggressively, everywhere, I can’t control it.

My arms wrapped tightly around myself. At this point I am almost wishing for death.

I can’t hear anything the pain all consuming, I feel as though my head feels like it’s going to explode, my stomach feels as though someone has sliced me open.

I cry out in pain, unable to hold it in anymore, within seconds the doctor has returned, looking at me, not sure how to ask the questions I can see written all over her face.

“I can give you something for the pain if you like and once we were on top of it, we can work out hat is causing it!” Daphne – the doctor – says, I can’t speak but I nod through the tears and waves of pain.

It feels like forever before the medication starts to take effect, although I know it is only a minute or two. Once the sharp pain eased a little, I managed to catch my breath some, the door then gave me a diluted dose of Wolfsbane I didn’t understand why but she is the doctor.

Thankful that the pain had stopped, it wasn’t long before sleep took me again, I guess that would bee the best option for now, especially if the doctor is unsure of what is causing my pain.

I wake screaming to the same pain, Carlisle is still sitting next to my bed, a worried look on his face, he takes my hand trying to reassure me, I know he has mind-linked the doctor again, as she is back with syringes, I must look at her full of gratitude, she smiles kindly and gives me another dos allowing the pain to subside and my body to rest and heal.

I have no idea how long I have been out for, I know I don’t think I woke up again, at least I don't recall doing so. Perhaps the doctor gave me more to help keep my pain at bay.

When I woke up, my body felt like I had been pummelled all over again. I am weak, and I am confused. I want to speak to the doctor to see if she worked out what is going on. Hopefully she knows what is causing this.

Allowing myself to pen my eyes slowly to take in all my surroundings, aside from the lights being dimmed i am still in the same room and the warm comfort of Carlisle's hand holding mine is still there, allowing myself to rouse completely, giving him a thankful smile.

“Hey, nice to have you back! I'm sure your confused, I have mind-linked the doctor, she will be back here soon. Are you feeling hungry?” Carlisle asked after advising me that he had already mind-linked the doctor.

As I am about to no my head, my stomach decided there would be no missing out on any offered meal, letting its own growl. With my cheeks taking on a rosey hue, I not and reply “Actually, food sounds amazing, i am starving.” My smile bringing one to his face also.

CARMINE POV

When the petite wolf started screaming and clutching herself in pain, still holding my hand, I could feel her grip tighten on my hand, this she-wolf is in pain When the doctor came in she quickly administered a pain reliever and sedative, but then she was going to inject what I could smell was Wolfsbane.

Reaching across the bed I stopped her hand before she could, “What is that for Daphne?” her face still worried, “I want to relax her wolf also, the pain reliever and sedative won’t help her wolf, not feel the pain. The Wolfsbane won’t hurt them I assure you Alpha!” she said, I then released her hand and allowed her to do her job. It is still worried me though.

Once she was settled, I decided it's time I ask some questions of Daphne. When I looked up to get her attention, she must have realised from the loo9k o9n my face, she motioned toward her office.

Before she woke up again, Daphne and i discussed the possibilities of the source of her pain and suffering at the moment.

“I didn't see a mark on her neck or torso, that leads me to believe is she has a mate, perhaps she does and the acceptance is incomplete.

Although until her memory returns it will be a little difficult to find out. Have you reached out to neighbouring packs yet Alpha?” Daphne started, causing me to think why would you not accept this naturally beautiful she-wolf.

“Errr, umm, yep, last night I reached out I was hoping to learn her name or what happened before I did, but it seems that may take a little more time.” I replied, I know now I have more things to ask of the allied and surrounding packs.

“So you think all of this is due to a mate rejection?” I asked Daphne, my tone a little harsher than I wanted. “I do Alpha, I have seen it a few times over my career so far. It's so sad and cruel. I can tell you though, from her reaction, her mate will be a ranked or titled wolf, a wolf with power, the connection is strong so the bond is strong even if it is tortured!” Daphne explained.

That made me angry. “You’re sure that’s what it is?” I questioned Daphne to ensure she has checked everything.

“I will do some blood tests and things but I am extremely confident I am right.” She answered.

With that I returned to the bed taking my seat next to her picking up her hand again. I hope it’s comforting for her.

She woke up again and Daphne was quick to administer more medications, once she was asleep, I made my way to my own office and sent another circular to the packs
