His Psychopathic Mate

8.Needles

Red's POV

I walked out of the bathroom, my hair dripping and loose as I walked to my bag to find something decent to wear. Damien's room is fairly simple. A huge bed, a massive material headboard lay behind it. On either side of the bed is a wooden drawer. The bathroom door is in between two cupboards. No idea why he needs so much space? Here's a giant mirror on the wall opposite the window and black curtains.

I looked over at Damien as he sat and sulked on the bed. I rolled my eyes before I found the red dress that I normally wear. I put it to one side, as I'm gonna need that to go find those kids. I took out some other clothes and put them on.

I walked up to Damien and sat on his lap. "Ahh, the big bad wolf is upset." I chuckled at him as I started kissing his ear. "Red, I can't lose another mate. I'll die." He said, sounding as heartbroken and sad as when I met him. "That sounds like you have no faith in my abilities.". I said to him, "Red... Lillibeth." He grabbed hold of my waist and held me close. "I just found you." He said as I started combing his hair with my fingers. "And I just finally found something important to me." His eyes lit up. "That's you and Raphael." I leaned my head against his.

He pulled me close to him before he started to bite hard down on his mark. A moan left my lips by his ear. He's sending a tingle throughout my entire body. f**k, this feels so good. I start to move my hips against his. "Damien." I moan into his ear. "How about that celebration now?" I say as I hold his head. He took his fangs out from my shoulder. "Only if you promise not to go ahead with that plan." He said as he licked the spot clean. "That's extortion.". I said to him with a pout. His eyes turned blue as he bit down on my lip. He started to nibble on my lip while his hands started to roam my back, digging into my back. I started to kiss him passionately. "I can't let him ruin other kids.". I mumbled out. "We will not lose you.". Raphael growled out.

"Raphael...." I tried to stand up to pull away from him, but he pulled me down to him. "We will never lose another mate again!" He kissed me as passionately as ever. I was struggling to even get some air. "Damien..." I tried to say through the kiss.

The door opened with a squeak. Damien's head shot up as he growled loudly. I take in some much-needed air. I looked back as Damien's mother stood there shocked. I stood up and walked towards her. Damien's mood was destroyed. "Thank you.". I said as I stood at the door trying to breathe properly. She chuckled and looked at me. "Dinner is ready." She said before turning to me.

" Your hair is so long. How do you ever keep it clean?" I chuckled and walked with her. "It's such a mission. Honestly. I have to keep it tied up all the time to keep it clean and out of the way." I said as we descended the stairs with Damien sulking behind us.

Damien's mother nudged me with her elbow before she whispered. "Did I interrupt?" I chuckled loudly as I answered. "Yes. And I'm glad you did. Raphael refused to let me come up for air." His mother laughed as she eyed Damien behind us. "His father was the same way. One time I passed out from lack of air." We both laughed the rest of the way down the stairs.

We entered the dining room and everyone just continued to stare at me. I sat down next to Damien as someone came through with the food. Everyone was mostly quiet, maybe because they didn't know how to talk in front of me or maybe what they should say. I noticed their eyes were glazed over, the same look Damien gets when he speaks to Raphael. Could this be their ability to talk to each other that I've heard about?

"Guys, stop mind linking me!" Damien burst out in a rage. "You're giving me a headache." He whined and pushed his plate forward as his head hit the table. "Just talk in front of her or even better yet, to her." He said as he held his head. I touched his head as his scrunched forehead became more relaxed. I raised my brow and looked at them.

The twins were the first to speak out in unison. It gives me the chills when they do that. Like how the f**k do they know what each other is going to say at the same time? "How come your hair is so long?". They asked. I giggled in amusement. "Someone once complimented me a very long time ago. Since then, I have never felt the need to cut it." The twins looked at each other before they started to mind link each other. Xander, Damien's father, spoke next. "Well it is certainly long." He chuckled. "You look completely different." I gave him a small smile before looking down at Damien as he played with my hair.

"Damien, you've barely eaten.". I said to him as I put some food in my mouth. "I don't want this." He mumbled. "Well, what do you want?" His mother said, sounding slightly annoyed. "Deer...." He whispered out. I facepalmed myself as I held my eyes closed with my hand as I leaned against the table. "But you loved Marisa's beef..." His mother said. "You never liked deer." Damien pouted like a child while he continued to play with my hair. He started to mumble his words. I looked down at him as I pulled my hair from his hands. "Damien. Eat your dinner.". I said to him.

Fuck, big bad alpha? More like a spoilt child.

'Am not.' I hear his voice in my head. I dropped my fork and turned towards him as he looked up at me. 'Make me deer.' He said again without moving his mouth. I stared down at him. 'You're in my head?' I thought, sounding confused. But no reply came. I turned my head back to the food and continued to eat. Once I pick up some water and take a sip, I hear his voice in my head. 'I want deer.' s**t! I was so shocked that I took a breath while I was drinking. I put the glass down and started coughing. Damien sat up and crossed his arms. He glared down at me. 'Deer! Now!' he growled in my head. I stared at him as his mouth didn't move, but I could hear his voice as clear as day.

Is he mind linking me? How is that possible? Only wolves can mindlink other wolves? Or could they have developed the ability further? And how would I have obtained this ability all of a sudden?

'I'm hungry! I want deer!' He growled again at me. I glared at him as I remember that he bit down deeper into my shoulder. 'You're invading my personal space without my permission!' I tried to shout at him. I'm sure I'm right. So I ignored him and continued to eat my dinner. 'I want deer!' He roared through my mind. I ignored him and he stood up and slammed his fist on the table. "Don't ignore me! I'm hungry!" His mother and the twins jumped out of their skins. "Ha, I knew it." I pushed the chair back and pointed my finger at him. "You were mind linking with me!" I glared up at him. He glared down at me. "So? You're my mate! If I needed to get hold of you, how was I supposed to do that?" he shouted at me. I put my arms on my hips and leaned forward. "You did it without my consent!" I screamed at him. "You're going to that Argent without my consent!" He screamed back at me.

"Damien, you should have asked her." His father said. "Not when she's my mate. The Moon Goddess will not bless me with a third!" I was steaming up and starting to lose my temper. I grabbed the chair and pushed it in before I stormed upstairs. "Lillibeth!" He shouted out to me. "I want deer!" I reached the top of the staircase and glared down at him. "Make it yourself!" I screamed at him before stomping my way into the room and closing the door.

How dare he?! My mind is the only privacy I ever had! I take the pillows and throw them across the room. I start picking up things and throwing them around to try to vent my anger. My mind should be off limits! If he had known this all along, then why didn't he f*****g say so! He's taken the one thing I've ever had that belonged to me and no one else. f**k!!!!

I reached for something else and noticed that there was nothing left. I turned to the bed and started kicking it. f**k me!!! Why isn't there more s**t for me to throw? I sat down behind the pile I had made in the corner. I put my head in between my knees and started banging my head back against the wall.

Fucking asshole!

Fucking prick!

The door creaks open slowly. I leaned forward and put my head on my knees. "Lillibeth?" Damien gulped as he started to walk in. "What happened..." He stopped talking as his eyes landed on the state of the room. He walked up to me and knelt in front of me. "Are you hurt? What happened?" He tried to touch me but I pulled away from him. "Leave me the f**k alone!" I shouted at him. "Lillibeth...?" He stopped like he was confused. "Honey..." He tried to say sweetly.

He touched the top of my head, his hand shot up off my head as he started to shake. "Who did this to you?" He growled out. "Leave me the f**k alone, Damien!" I shouted at him. "You're bleeding! How am I....?" He shouted but came to a stop. "Were you hitting your head against the wall?" His voice sounded like it was going to crack. "You were in my head, why don't you tell me what I did!" I glared up at him as I stood up a little too fast. My head started to spin as my vision went black. I lose my balance and fall forward. Damien caught me and held me in his hands. "You did all this because I wanted to know that if you were in danger you could always contact me?" he said to me. "I did this because YOU violated my personal space without my permission!"

"Honey, I'm...." I tried to stand but kept falling down. Damien held me in his arms bridal style. "I didn't think you would let me. It normally hurts more than the original bite." He said and carried me out of the room. "You didn't ask me. You assumed! If you had asked I would have agreed." he stopped on the stairs and stared at me. "You would have? But didn't it hurt?" He said to me. "Damien put me down! I'm not some infant you can cradle like this!" I screamed at him.

He slowly put me down on the step. "Lillibeth, I'm sorry." He said as he tried to reach down towards my face. I still feel a bit dizzy. I step back to stable myself. s**t! I'm on a step. My eyes widened as I began to fall backwards down the steps. I felt Damien's arms grab hold of me but we continued to fall.

We hit a few steps but Damien's body took most of the hits. I grabbed hold of his shirt before everything turned black.

Wolf's POV

I put Red down on the steps. She's right, I should have asked her first, "Lillibeth. I'm sorry." I reached down to touch her face when she stepped back. Both our eyes widened as she began to fall backwards. I reached out and grabbed hold of her. I didn't care if it caused me to fall with her. I pulled her close to me as we fell. I can take the hits. She's hurt already. I'm not gonna let her get hurt anymore.

By the time we tumbled down the stairs and landed by the wall by the door. Lillibeth had gone limp in my arms. I opened my arms and looked down at her as she looked as if she was sleeping. I picked her up and carried her through to the doctor's room. I had mind-linked her once I saw her head bleeding again. As soon as I took her through Dr. Rosemarie was sitting by the bed. I placed Red down and stepped backwards to allow her to fully examine Red.

She cleaned Red's head and bandaged her up. "Well, Alpha. This injury is quite bad." She said as she laid Red's head on the pillow. "You said she did this to herself?" She turned to me and raised her brow. "Yes. But we did just fall down some stairs." I said. Dr. Rosemarie shook her head. "This would have hurt a lot. I haven't seen someone who intentionally caused themselves this amount of pain." She said as she started to write down on a chart. "But is she okay?" I asked. I can't bear the thought of losing another mate and it being my fault. "She's stable. More stable than I thought she would be. She doesn't seem to be in distress." She said before walking to a drawer and getting a needle out with a vile. "That being said. I'm not taking any chances. I'm going to give her something for the pain." she said just before she injected her. "Thank you." I practically whimpered out. Dr. Rosemarie nodded, "Would you like a check-up as well, Alpha?" I shook my head. "No, thank you." She raised her brow before she gave a nod before she left.

I went to sit down on the chair next to Red and hold her hand. "I'm sorry." I held her hand against my forehead. "I'm so so sorry." The tears started to run down my face. I kissed her hand and watched as she slept.

I spent the whole night with her and still, she hadn't moved. What if she doesn't wake up? What if she stays like this forever?

I sat in my office, my head in my hands when the twins walked in. "Damien." They both said. "Dr. Rosemarie says she needs you urgently." My head shot up as I stared at them. "Why didn't she just mind link me?" I said to them as I made my way to the door. "Because you've blocked all of us out." They folded their arms and shook their heads. "Lillibeth is fighting Dr. Rosemarie and her nurses.". Xavier said. My eyes shot wide open as I stared at him.

She's awake!

I left the twins in my dust as I ran for the ward. When I got close to the door, I saw some other Omega's standing by the door. Scared to go in but too curious to stop watching. "Stay away from me with that thing!" I heard Red shout out. "Ma'am, please calm down. You're going to aggravate your injury." Dr. Rosemarie said. "Are you deaf women!" I heard a loud crash and the sound of things dropping. Before I stepped into the doorway, one omega held me back. A surgical tray flew right past my face and hit the wall. "I said stay away from me with that thing!"

I walked in and saw Red on top of the bed while Dr. Rosemarie and her nurses had surrounded her. I look at Dr. Rosemarie's hand and saw a needle. "Ma'am, please calm down. This is just to help you sleep." She said before she and her nurses made a grab for her. Red somersaulted over their heads before she tried to make a break for the windows.

I cut her off and picked her up. She was starting to fight with me to get free. "Lillibeth." I breathed out. She stopped and stared down at me. "Damien?" I gave her a small smile before I set her down. "What's going on here?" I said down to her. "Alpha, my apologies. I was going to administer another pain reliever when she woke up and started to fight against us." Red turned around and glared at her hand with the needle in it. "Ma'am, please. This while help." Red stepped back into me. "Lillibeth. Please. I promise it will help." I said as I placed my hands on her shoulders. Dr. Rosemarie was now at arms-length, when she reached out for Red's arm she jumped and climbed onto my shoulders. "I said, get that thing away from me!" She screeched by my ear.

"Lillibeth, it's to help with the pain.". I said to her as I tried to stabilize myself as much as possible to make sure she didn't fall off my shoulders. "NO!" She screamed. I looked at the door as some people were coming in. "Dr. Rosemarie. I believe she will be fine. Thank you for your service. We will call you and/ or your nurses if we need you.". My father said. My mother looked up at us as well as the twins. Dr. Rosemarie capped the needle before she put it away. She then proceeded to leave with her nurses in tow.

Bradley closed the door behind them as they left, while Xavier closed the blinds. "I've got to admit. When someone mind linked me, saying Lillibeth was on Damien's shoulders like a cat. I was a bit skeptical." My mother said. "Why don't you come down?" She said as she tried to coach her down like she was a cat. Lillibeth climbed down my back and came round me.

My father looked at her head being bandaged before he looked up at me. "Would someone like to fill us in?" He said with a raised brow. "I'm not too sure what happened either.". I said honestly. "I went into the room after you had spoken to me. I was going to apologise." I stopped and looked down at her as she refused to look at me. "When I went into the room it was like a war zone. I found Lillibeth in the corner. I thought someone had attacked her." I reached out for her but she stepped away from me. "She had a head injury and I had brought her down to get it looked it. When she told me to put her down, she fell backwards and I grabbed hold of her. We both fell down the stairs. When I looked down, she was unconscious. That's when I brought her here."

My father's eyes moved to Red. "What happened in the room? We saw it last night when Damien left the door wide open." Red turned her face to the wall. "Damien invaded my personal space, without my permission. I was upset." She said bluntly. "And what happened when you woke up?" She glared at the door before she looked back at my father. "Well, if you woke up in a strange place with people you don't know, wanting to inject you with who knows what. Would you be calm about it?" My father gave his head a nod before he ran his hand through his hair. "Didn't the doctor tell you what was in it?" He furrowed his brow. "She did. But Lillibeth still wouldn't let her. Even when I was here."

My father looked down at my mother, who nodded and walked up to the drawer. "What is your defense then?" he said to her. "I told her before Damien came in I don't need it and I don't want it." She replied, not even looking at them. My mother handed my father the needle. He looked down at it before he walked up to us and held it up to her face. As soon as Red saw it she looked like she jumped out of her skin. She started to climb on top of me again. She was so frantic about doing that, that I was losing balance. "Lillibeth..." I said before she settled herself behind me, glaring at my father.

The twins stared at her curiously as my father started to chuckle. "There's no shame in admitting you're afraid of needles." He said as he handed it back to my mother. "Though I have to admit, for someone to has killed as many as you did, to be afraid of such a thing is surprising." He walked up to us as she continued to glare at him. "Am not." She mumbled behind my back. "Okay, no more needles." He said with a laughing smile. "Will you let the doctor check your head?" Her face scrunched up in confusion as she reached up and touched the bandages. "Da f**k?" She whispered as she climbed off my back. She stood behind me and started to move about.

I turned and looked at her as she was beginning to take the bandages off. "Lillibeth, let the doctor do that.". I said as I reached for her arms. She stopped and smacked my hands away from her. She started mumbling under her breath as she started getting frustrated with the bandages. 'The Moon Goddess sure did bless you with a handful.' My mother chuckled through the mind link. I couldn't help but chuckle out loud. It's true. She's a handful, but she's my handful. I smiled down at her as she started ripping at the bandages. I reached down and started to help her. "Here, let me help.". I said to her. She continued to look away from me while I took the rest of the bandages off. I placed my hand on her head. "Is it sore?" I looked down at her. She glared up at me. "No." She spat out.

'Honey, I'm sorry.' I said through the mind link. 'Asshole.' She grumbled back to me. I chuckled as my eyes closed before I kissed her head. "Yes, I am.". I said out loud.

"May I have a look?" My mother walked up next to me. She examined Red's head. "Are you sure you aren't in any pain? This looks pretty painful..." My mother said. "It's not.". Red replied. "There is a pain reliever that you can dissolve in water." Lillibeth shook her head and folded her arms. "It doesn't hurt. I do not need those kinds of things.". She said.

'Red, why don't you just take the one that dissolves in water? It'll help you sleep some more. You must have a terrible headache.' I said to him through our mind link. 'For the f*****g last time Damien. It does NOT hurt.' she spat back at me. "Honey...." I said to her but she cut me off. "I've told you before. I don't feel pain." I touched her arm. "But that was something small..." She rolled her eyes and walked to the door.

Xavier and Bradley grabbed hold of her arms. She looked from one to the other. "What do you mean you don't feel pain?" My father said as the twins turned her around. "Damien, you haven't told them how we first met, have you?" She raised her brow at me. "No..." I said before I explained what happened and how she just ripped my claws through her arm without flinching. My father's face twisted with confusion when he turned to Red. "So, according to you, you don't feel pain?" She gave a little nod. She can't feel pain... Like at all?

"So why are you afraid of needles?" The twins asked as their faces twisted with confusion. "Call it an irrational fear and move on." She looked in between the two before looking at my father.

"How long have you been like this?" My father asked. She tried her best to shrug her shoulders as the twins held her. "I don't know. Just one day, I couldn't feel pain anymore. Not like it doesn't have its perks in my line of work.". She said. I could hear the twins' heart rates rise as they held her arms. "Bradley, Xavier. Would you be so kind and release my arms." She said as politely as she could muster as she was calming down from being pissed. The twins released her arms before taking a step back. "Thank you.". She said as she readjusted her shoulders.

My father looked down at her, then he turned to me. "Damien, go get some rest." Then he turned back to Red. "You as well." She gave him a quick look, that look that says, who are you to tell me what to do. Before she turned around and headed out of the room. I followed behind her, ready to catch her at any moment.

We made it to the room and she went into the bathroom and closed the door. Luckily, some omegas cleaned the room. I thought as I sat on the bed and stared at the door. . I hear the water running. I'm practically falling asleep on the bed, but I have to keep myself awake in case she needs my help.

'Damien' Her voice came echoing in my head. 'Yes, my love?' I said back to her. Raph jumped for joy at the fact she used it for the first time by herself. 'Come here.' She said. I stood up and walked towards the door. I hold onto the door nob when I freeze. What could she possibly want? I wondered as I opened the door slowly. I scanned around the room before my eyes scanned on her in the tub. Her hair was tied up in that braided bun again. 'Are you going to come in or not?' She asked as she laid down in the bath. I stepped in and closed the door. She turned her head and looked at me. 'Well, you gonna join me or not?' She asked through the link. 'J j j join you?' I stuttered.

I must have been dead on my feet and she wanted me to get in the bath with her? I had no energy for anything like that and I'm sure she couldn't go through something like that with her injury. 'Strip.' She commanded me. 'Lillibeth, I will not strip.' She sat up and looked up at me. "Well, it's very hard for me to wash you in your clothes." She said with a smug look on her face. "Wash me?" She turned and lifted her hand and dragged the soapy sponges over it. 'Do you want me to wash you or not?' She said through the link. 'Why all of a sudden?' I raised my brow down at her. "I'm sorry, okay." She practically whispered while turning her head away.

I take my shirt off and throw it to one side before I do the same with my jeans and underwear. I got in the bath and faced her. Luckily, the bath is big enough for us. She took the sponge and started to rub it all over my body. Once she was done with the front, she told me to turn around. After I sat back down facing the other way, she started rubbing small circles on my back. She moved her hands up to my shoulders and started to rub them, occasionally making her way up my neck. I groan out of sheer pleasure. It feels so good having her massage me in this warm bath. She pulled me down on top of her chest as she continued massaging me.

'I'm sorry, I lost my tempter.' She said through the link. 'There's no need to be sorry. It was my fault. I should have asked you.' She kissed my forehead, "I'm not used to sharing certain things, Damien. It's gonna take me some time to get used to it." I nod my head as I'm sure I'm drifting off to sleep. "Damien..." Red whispered down to me. I couldn't even form words. "Hmm..." She kissed my head. "Damien, let's go to bed." She cooed in my ear. I nodded my head and stood up from the bath.

Red towel dried me before giving me a pair of shorts to sleep in. "Or are you gonna sleep in your wolf form? Cause I'm not gonna lie. If you are, you aren't sleeping on the bed." I smiled down at her as she put on one of my old shirts. It covered her down to her thighs. I hugged her as I fell on the bed. Pulling her close to me. "This is the first time I'll sleep in my human form since I left." She gave me a quick peck before she nestled down in my arms and before I knew it, I was out like a light.
