Emilia's Disappearance
Angelica
Angelica tried to open her eyes as she heard a weird beeping sound. As she couldn't do what she wanted, she tried moving her hand. After this didn't work as well, she tried to move a finger. It didn't work. She couldn't move. She couldn’t open her eyes. She felt paralyzed.
After a while, trying not to panic by her immobility she heard a door open and footsteps of maybe two people coming closer to her.
"Angelica? Angelica can you hear me? Oh my god what happened!!"
"Mom..." Angelica thought. "MOM!" Angelica tried to shout. But she couldn't.
"There was an incident at her university dorm. We don't know what happened. She was found like this in the parking lot." A voice said in a calm but concerned tone. "When did this happen?" her mother asked. "She was found today in the morning, I guess she was laying there for about an hour. Many students came home from the pack party an hour before she was found, I guess they would have called the police. The police is still investigating. For now we have to trust her healing powers. We do what we can to treat the wounds to help the healing though." Angelica heard her mother cry out in agony. "I have to tell her father... Can I use your telephone Doctor Will?" Angelica realized she was at the pack hospital. It was Doctor Will. She knew him since she was little. „Of course luna! Send my regards to the alpha will you? We do what we can to get her up and fixed again." Doctor Will replied and Angelica heard both of them leave the room.
"The parking lot?" Angelica asked herself. "What time was it anyway?... My healing powers?" Angelica realized she did not feel any pain, she did not feel a need to heal. And that’s when she realized something very strange.
"Emmy??" she thought. No connection.
"Emmy are you there??" nothing.
All of a sudden Angelica felt weak and her sight got dizzy as she kept trying hard to contact her wolf Emilia.
"Emmy.... ?" one last try and Angelica passed out again.
Christopher
As Christopher was waking up in the morning, he had a bad headache going on. The ringing sound of his cell phone did not make it any better. "Who dares waking me up that early?" he asked annoyed. "It's Brane..." Christopher suddenly switched his mood, as he realized Brane sounded very serious. "Its about Angelica...” Brane said with a cracked voice.
"What happened?" Christopher started to panic. No. If anything had happened to Angelica he would've realized. She was his mate after all. He tried to calm himself.
"Chris... I don’t want to worry you. But something really weird happened. Angelica was found on the parking lot in the middle of the night. Apparently she is heavily injured and she is in some sort of coma. Doctor Will is trying to figure out what’s wrong but apparently she is not healing as fast as she is supposed to." Brane started sobbing. He was her brother after all. ”You need to tell me what happened yesterday! You said you’ll take care of her! What happened? You left the party together! I trusted you!” Brane continued.
"No, that can't be possible, I would remember! " Christopher replied. "I would've noticed something. She is my mate you know that!"
Brane went silent for a second. "Did you try contact her with your wolf yet?" Brane asked. "No... But surely I would've felt if Angel was in pain, or she would've contacted me!" Christopher said trying to keep his hopes up.
I think it is best when you come to the hospital to see yourself..." Brane said and hung up the phone.
Christopher jumped out of his bed, not bothering to either shower or changing his underwear. Tossing himself into the first clothes he could find, he started running towards the pack hospital.
"Drake?" Christopher contacted his wolf.
"WHAT THE f**k IS WRONG??"
"Ok... Calm down... Do you know what’s up? Can u try to contact Emilia?"
"I WILL! JUST A MOMENT" Drake sounded stressed.
"Emilia!? Emilia darling what’s wrong?" Christopher heard Drakes voice in his head asking.
"Emilia! What happened to Angelica? Please tell me! " Christopher focused on communicating with Angelicas wolf.
"Help...." the sound of Emilia’s voice in Christopher’s head made him shiver. She sounded weak and injured.
"I don’t know. I don’t know where I am. Help... I can't reach... Angel... Huh... " the connection broke.
Christopher felt his wolf Drake freak. He felt his heart braking and sudden pain stroke through his body. He got weak in his knees but he could not give in. He needed to reach the pack hospital and figure out what was wrong. His plans where interrupted though, as he bumped into something really... Hard.
He fell on the ground and raised his head just to see the pack sheriff Mr. Thaler.
"We need to take you to the station Christopher. " he said in a broken voice. "NO!" Christopher shouted, still feeling weak. It felt like all his strength had left his body. He needed to get to his mate. He needed to find out what was up.
"I am sorry Chris, really. One can only imagine having something as horrible happening to ones mate. But we need to ask you regarding the investigation." the sheriff replied and took Christopher by the hand helping him up.
Before the sheriff took him to his police car, parked a few meters behind him on the side of the road, he must have seen a tear forming in Christopher's eye. The next thing he did was taking him into his arms and give him a fatherly hug.
"What is this sudden pain!" Christopher asked himself. "Why does my heart feel so broken? I cant breathe. "
"The bond Chris..." Drake said.
"... The... bond is getting weaker by the second... "
"No that cant be! Angelica is alive! We love each other. What else would have such an impact on our bond?"
"I don’t know..." Drake answered.
Christopher could hear in his voice that he felt just as much pain. Tears were running from his eyes. He started crying and couldn't help himself but grabbing onto the sheriff sobbing into his uniform.
After standing there a while hugging the sheriff, he asked Christopher if he was ready now. Christopher nodded his head still having tears in his eyes.
The sheriff took him to the station, where he brought Christopher to a room with a small table and four chairs. He was not in chains, cuffs or anything. He knew the sheriff since he was a child after all. The sheriff brought him tissues and a cup of coffee. "I added some... You know... " he made a gesture with his hand suggesting that he added strong alcohol. Probably to calm Christopher's nerves. Christopher wanted to take a sip, as two more People entered the room.
"Hello Mr. Reed." a women said. She was quite tall and had a stunning figure. She had her pitch black hair tied into a professional looking bun, wearing a blazer and a tight knee long skirt. "I am Ms. Green. Leading the investigation regarding your mate Angelica Ryan." She said in a strong voice. Christopher suddenly felt like bowing his head. She must outrank him. The second person on the other hand did not introduce himself. It was a tall muscular man. One could see his whole upper body was tattooed, because the tattoos reached all the way down to his hands and up to his neck. He was wearing sunglasses, even though they were inside a building.
"Would you mind to leave Mr. Thaler?" Ms. Green asked. "I won't leave him." the sheriff replied with a tone that made Christopher bow his head even more. "is that fine for you Mr. Reed?" Ms. Green asked. "Please stay..." Christopher said. The sheriff was now sitting next to Christopher as Ms. Green and the unknown man sat on the other side of the table.
