Once Bitten

Can Life Get Worse

As my workday started to come to a close I noticed that my co-worker Hannah was giving me that look. The girl was nuts and I felt bad for her mate. They were both good people but really she was way too spunky and loved to just say what was on her mind. 

" Adam..., are you going to the dinner at the packhouse?" She asked me. 

It seemed that there was to be a party at the packhouse and for once everyone was invited. Not sure what we were all to be celebrating but I knew that there was no way I was gonna be able to join them all. I had to keep myself and Sebby safe. The only way to do that was to keep as much distance as possible between myself and his father. 

My mind brought up our Alpha and I recalled how he tasted. How his muscles moved under my hands. His hot breath was on my neck as he kissed me. He did not mark me that night we created our son. We just made love and in the morning he pretended I was no one, nothing to him. Just another pack member. 

" No Sebby and I are gonna watch some Disney movies!" I said with a smile on my face. I did not realize that I had tears in my eyes. 

Far as I knew no one knows who Sebastion's father is. I kept that secret to myself. My parents were upset that I got myself pregnant. but my son was my only tie to his father. I would have given him up for no one. 

" Adam! Just come for a little while. please" Hannah said poking me in the arm. 

" I don't think.." 

" Come on you need to meet others! Maybe find your mate." She offered me. 

Like I said no one knew I had found my mate a year ago. That I was tossed aside. The hurt came over me just as the familiar pains shot inside my stomach. This did not happen too often at work, so I did not have to deal with this in front of people. I found myself on my knees trying to real in the pain. 

" ADAM!" Hannah shouted as sunk down. beads of sweat formed on my forehead and I felt sick to my stomach. 

It seemed like the pains just were getting worse over time. Like not having my heart broke was not good enough. I had to have physical pain to go along with it to ensure I knew how worthless and unwanted I was. I knew what the pains meant. I knew he was with someone else. I even knew who the other person was. Juliette, his long-time girlfriend. Every time this happened part of me wanted to die. my wolf would howl in pain in my head. before I knew wit darkness closed in on me. 

~four hours later~

I woke up to the smell of disinfectants. The bright lights played havoc on my eyes. looking over to my right I saw Hannah sitting there. 

" Welcome back." She said softly. Her eyes were now bloodshot like she had been crying. 

" Where am I?" I asked her confused. 

" The infirmary at the packhouse." She said brushing my bands off my head. 

Dr. Lee walked in and meet my eyes. He was an older man and had been the pack's dr for years. I hear his daughter is gonna be taking his spot soon. 

" Ah, Adam glad to see you are awake." He smiled at me. 

" Thanks, dr." 

" I need to speak with him alone." He said to Hannah. 

I did not want to be alone so I asked if she could stay. Though soon I wished I had not. 

" You have met your mate?" The dr asked me point blank

I thought about lying at first but thought better of it. I then let him know that indeed I knew and met my mate. 

" You need to fix your relationship with them or next time you might not wake up. Your wolf has gotten weak. Sorry to say you are close to losing your wolf." He said as gently as he could. 

Tears ran down my face.[Even if I told my mate he would care less. I had no doubt he would want me to die so he could be rid of me. But if I died who was gonna raise my son. It became clear that I would have to talk to my Alpha and hope that he would take in our son If I died. What was I gonna do if he declined? How was I gonna approach him?
