Craig's POV
"I NEED A NURSE! DR. MANG!" I yell, and Dr. Mang comes forward with nurses behind her. "What happened?" She asks.
"I..I don't know, he just fell over" I tell her when she bends down and grabs a light out of her pocket and opens his eyes looking at one then the other. "I don't see any mass behind his eyes so we don't need to worry about a tumor, his pupils are responsive to my light, and his reflexes are good". She says very perplexed. Then what she says next shocks me. "It's like he is in a coma" I almost didn't hear it, then it clicked. "He felt her die". I burst out. Dr. Mang looks at me confused. "Pardon?" She says. I look at Logan and he just gives me a curt nod. I look back at Dr. Mang, "Ryker", I said pointing to him. "He said, he could feel Caroline die. I thought it was a joke but then you came and said that you brought her back twice and he felt her die both times. I myself and Logan witnessed one time". She lookes at me like I lost my mind then looked at Logan and he again nodded his head then looked back at me. She was shaking her head "But that isn't possible..he.." she takes a pause. "Gladys, Mary go get me a bed and tell Josie to get the room next to Caroline's ready" She tells her nurses. "He did say that he was her mate". Logan seems a bit shocked at this news, Dr. Mang as well.
"Caroline isn't eighteen, she wouldn't recognize him as hers". Dr. Mang states in confusion. "Have they even met yet?" Logan asks still in a bit of shock. "As far as I know, from what your Alpha said, only their wolves have". I say with certainty as I turn back to Dr. Mang. "Caroline doesn't turn eighteen for another couple days. How long until she can be brought out of her current state?"
"I can't bring her out of her coma until her wolf shows signs of her healing. Until then she has to stay." I nod my head in understanding. "About how long do you think it will be before her wolf comes forward to start healing her?" I ask. "About twelve to sixteen hours. We have been taking blood cultures every thirty minutes, but seeing as to their was high quantities of wolfesbane, it will take that long if not more." She tells me with an apologetic smile.
Logan's POV
"RYKER!?" I jump to catch and steady him. "Ryker? What the hell man? You alright?"
"I can feel her dying..." He says though gritted teeth, clutching his chest. "What did he just say?" Atlas my wolf asked, I just shake my head in shock, not understanding what the hell is happening. Ryker slumps more, his whole body going slack in my arms as I lower him to floor. "Ryker!!" I scream at him. Then he falls unconscious. I hear his heart beat slowing, panic coursing through me.
The man who has been like my brother since before we were pups, laying limp and dying in my arms. I had no words. "RYKER!!!"
I'm snapped back to reality when I hear Alpha Craig screaming for Dr. Mang who comes running immediately and begins doing a once over. I'm barely listening, still trying to comprehend what the hell is happening.
"He did say he was her mate." Alpha Craig tells Dr. Mang.
"His Mate?" I ask now stunned. "Ooooohhhh this isn't good..." Atlas says as he begins whining. "Wait. What's not good?" Now confused and concerned. "The Prophecy is happening." Atlas says with a sigh. "Prophecy? What Prophecy?" I ask as I watch Dr. Mang and the nurses rush Ryker to a room down the hall, next to Caroline's.
"The Prophecy of the All Power. All wolves know it, but none of us know what it means. Growing up, you would have heard about it as a children's story." Atlas says in a more serious tone. "The Blood and The Moon... s**t. That's real?" I say trailing off as I remember the story. "It's very real and it means something is coming, and soon..." Atlas says gravely.
I look around and see Alpha Craig leaning against the wall rubbing his temples. I walk over to him and clear my throat "Alpha?"
He sighs and looks up "Just Craig is fine, but what can I do for you Logan?"
"Is there somewhere we can go to speak privately?" I ask. "I was about to invite you back to the pack house so we could try to get some rest." He says sounding tired and worried."Let's go then. I think we need to have a little talk."
