My Sister's Gamma

Chapter Six- Bad News

Lucas Walters (POV)

We were all running one minute, then suddenly my mate fell from her father’s back. I shifted and ran towards her.

“JANE,” I screamed as her parents shifted, as I got to Jane and lifted her in my arms.

“What happened?” Her mother began.

“I don’t know I heard her call for me and said that something was wrong, then she fell off me.” her father said, looking worried.

“We need to get her to the pack doctor,” I said as I began to run, and her parents began running after me.

“We need to let Lari and Drake know.” Her mother said as she kept up with us.

“I already mind-linked them. They will meet us at the hospital.” Her father said.

I mind-linked the female doctor Joan, and told her to meet us as I was bringing in my unconscious mate.

We got to the hospital, and they showed us to a room where I lay my mate down on the bed and a couple of nurses brought in clothes for me and Jane’s parents.

Joan began to check Jane’s vitals while asking questions as to what happened. Her father filled us in stating Jane mentioned something was wrong before she fell off his back. It was a good thing he slowed down before she did, or she could have suffered serious injuries.

Doctor Joan then ushered us all out to wait in the waiting room so she could run a few tests.

It was a couple of hours later and I was becoming agitated from waiting. This is my mate after all. I am pacing around the room growling at everyone. Jane’s mom and dad were sitting beside each other with Peter’s arm around his worried wife. Lari and Drake were seated on the other side of the room looking just as concerned.

“What is taking the doctor so damn long?” I growled out as I continued to pace.

Just then, the door opened, and the doctor came in not looking very happy.

“I am sorry for the wait. The tests took longer than I expected,” she began to say as she looked at each and every one of us.

“What is going on, Doctor? Why did she pass out like that?” Jane’s mother stood up.

“I am sorry to have to tell you this,” She sighed before continuing, “But it seems the cancer is back, and it is bad. It is stage four.”

Gasps were heard around the room, and I nearly fell on my knees, as they became weak. I had to sit in the nearest chair. My mate, My beautiful Jane. The cancer is back.

I could hear Jane’s mother softly sobbing as they were finally believing that it was gone. After all, it had been two years and no sign of it until now. Why now? Is the goddess punishing me for sleeping around while my mate was there and waiting for me? Goddess, I am sorry. Please don’t let my mate suffer because of my transgressions. I put my hands to my face as I felt a tear slip from my eyes. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked over to Lari next to me with sadness in her lovely eyes. Where her eyes are soft brown, Jane’s are a forest green. I could drown in Jane’s eyes. I was so stupid and regret everything I did these past two years. I should have stayed away from other women. Looking over at Lari, a thought came to me.

“What if I marked her?” I looked up at the doctor who was still talking with Jane’s parents.

The doctor stopped talking, “Excuse me?”

“I am her mate. What if my wolf marked her with his venom?” I was feeling hopeful. And everyone in the room became quiet. I could feel the hope in all of them as they looked up at the doctor.

She rubbed her chin in thought. “In theory, the wolf's venom could heal and destroy the cancer cells. But that is in theory.”

“But we could try it, right?” Jane’s mom asked with renewed hope.

“We could try and, since Gamma Lucas is her mate, that would be better as the mate bond along with the venom…” Joan nodded, “Okay, if everyone is OK with this, then we should try it.”

“Yes, I am OK with it,” Jane’s mom was the first to answer.

“I am OK too…” Jane’s dad began, but then turned to look at me, “But…if you dare hurt my daughter I will come after you.”

I look at him right back, “I promise to never ever hurt the woman I love again.” I tell him with all my sincerity.

He nodded his head, “Okay, then. Let’s do this.”

The doctor looked at me, “If you would follow me, I will take you to her.”

I stood to follow the doctor to Jane’s room.

“This is her room. I know marking is a private moment between mates so I will let you two have some privacy.” With that she turned and walked away, leaving me at the door to Jane’s room.

I opened the door slowly and there she was lying on the bed with her hair spread around her like a halo. Goddess, she is so beautiful. What was I thinking all this time? I walked over toward the bed and sat on the edge. I leaned down to the left of her neck near her marking spot and kissed it. Then I called on Spartis to come forward and as he did, he began to sniff her scent and lick her marking spot just as she softly moaned. I felt my teeth elongate and Spartis bit down on her soft skin, puncturing through and marking her. She groans for a moment at the intrusion of my fangs into her neck. Spartis stays put as his venom enters our mate's body.

Just as I knew it would, Jane began to feel the bond and pleasure kicked in as she slept, she moaned so much I gained a hard-on in my pants. Goddess, her moans are beautiful. She began to move sensually and just before the venom was finished her eyes opened and she screamed as an orgasm hit her. We pull our teeth out and lick the wound to close it, so the venom stays in her body.

“What the hell just happened?” she asked breathlessly.

“We had to mark you, love,” I answered her.

She looked over at me and frowned, “You marked me? Without my permission?” she began to yell at me. “I am still angry at you. You had no right to mark me.”

“I had to do it, Jane. Your family wanted me to do it. We had to save your life.” I explained to her.

“Save my life? From what?”

“The cancer…” was all I had to say and that quieted her as her eyes grew wide.

“It’s back?” she whispered.

“Yes, it is back, and the doctor believes my venom as your mate will kill the cancer cells.”

“And change me like it did with Jane and my parents.” she closed her eyes and sighed, “Alright, but this does not mean you are off the hook. I am still upset at you.”

“Believe me, love. I am upset with myself too. So is Spartis. He tried to have me stop doing it. And I know I should have listened.”

“Yes, you should have…” she sighed again, “I struggle with the image of you and her together,” she whispered sadly.

“Goddess, I know. I suffer with the image of you standing there with hurt and pain in your eyes.” I sighed, “I promise you, since that moment I have not touched any woman and I never will. I only desire you. I only want you. I need only you.”

Tears began to fall from her beautiful eyes, “I know you haven’t. I would have felt it.”

I gave a sad smile and wrapped my arms around her as I pulled her closer to me. I was pleasantly surprised to find she let me and wrapped her arms around me too.
