Werefate

Chapter 13

After Lucas goes, I feel really heavy.

My Luke must have been so heartbroken. I never imagined in this life that I would have to do something like that.

Lucus was my best friend. Is. He is my best friend. And I don't know how, but in the depths of my bones and heart I know he is mine.

Just two months. I will do anything to make him mine. Just two f*****g months and day one is already about to be over. I can do this.

I return to my aunt's. I don't feel like talking to anyone. I see them in the kitchen dancing in the song " chasing cars" and it brings out memories.

And I remember the time when Lucus danced with me in this song. It was his senior prom. I was a junior. Ashley was sick at home but wanted us to go enjoy ourselves.

I remember how we danced. His hands in my waist. Mine on his shoulder. I remember feeling warm and loved. And now I realize it was the bond between us that made me so happy.

It is all that takes for me to break down.

I go to the room allocated for me. And I just break down. I lock my door, so when my aunt came to call me for dinner I didn't open it. She may have thought that I was asleep and didn't want to disturb me, so she goes away.

And I just cry. I look at the frame of the picture I have kept on the left bedside. It is of Lucus and I . It was on his 14th birthday.

He has his arm on my shoulder, my head on his chest. We had our backs to the camera lens. We were facing the beach. I remember how content I felt at that time.

I didn't even wish him a happy birthday. I am the worst mate anyone could have.

I am sorry lucus.

I am so sorry.

Throughout the night I feel heavy. As if my soul is breaking into half. I want lucus. I want to soak him up again.

I don't know what was happening. Around the morning time I start burning all over my body. I rush to the attached toilet to throw up. I couldn't stop throwing up .

Maybe my aunt heard me throwing up and had a spare key to my room. My aunt and uncle came throwing the door open and I am really grateful because I couldn't even move.

" Oh my god. Are you alright? " my aunt grabs the wet towel and wipes my face. She also flush the toilet. I am beyond feeling gross at this point.

I can't get up and I can't even stop the tears even if I wanted. My soul feels as if it is missing a piece.

" Of course it is . You i***t. We told you not to do that. We told you it was a bad idea. You are confident in what god knows. Now know how it feels to get rejected by your mate. He doesn't even want you. " the voice just laughs and laughs and laughs.

I feel getting lifted and being placed in bed.

" She is burning up. She is just throwing up so much. I will bring her soup to drink. You call the pack healer. " I hear my aunt speak but it feels as if she is far away.

As time goes on, my body feels heavy. I don't even manage to drink the soup. The healer comes. She is a werewolf's healer. She can't treat a patient who was still human. So we had to call an actual doctor.

The doctor comes and check me around. He give me medicine for fever and to stop my vomiting. He says it may be viral and if I don't get better within twenty-four hours it's better to admit me to the hospital. I know what was going on but everything is muffled.

I just grab the photo of Lucus and me under my blanket.

Maybe he is feeling the same as me . He must be missing me. I broke his heart and I am this sick.Must be the karma.

My soul was weeping for him. But I can't even voice it .

By evening, I just get worse.

I start to feel the bond which is always present, which I never noticed. I have to close my eyes just to feel it and I know in my heart that it isn't a mating bond.

I could see a thick golden rope in my mind. The bond that is to connect me and Lucus. I know it but I don't know how I can know such a thing . I can see the bond on my side. The side that connects it with Lucus is free flowing. The bond in my side kept twisting and twisting before all I can do is scream in agony.

I don't know how it is even possible for me to see this bond. For this bond to exist. I don't know what it is. If it was even a Bond. I have never heard of a werewolf who could see the bond like this . It was just to be felt.

The bond was demanding for Lucas to come. It wants the mind to be fused. To be connected together. Oh how my words came to bite my ass. I want no, I need Lucas now.

"He won't come. You don't need him, do you? " The voice mocks.

I need him. I have always needed him. Even when he was with Ashley.

I want to reach out to him even though I know it is not possible.

The bond just keeps twisting. I just keep screaming in agony. The pain was so bad that I passed out.

Only then do I feel better when I couldn't feel a thing.

.............

Third point of view:

Mary, Vanessa's aunt, became really worried after seeing her niece in this bad condition.

She knew it was not the flu causing her this agony that made her pass out. Vanessa seemed calm now. When she passed out, every minute seeing her in agony was really difficult for her.

Vanessa woke up again and just started screaming. Her body was burning up. It was as if she was asking for someone to come.

" Lucus. Lucus," Vanessa cried out. " I am sorry. I didn't mean a thing I said. Lucusss. " She kept screaming.

She knew lucus. Obviously, she knew her previous alpha son. She screaming for him and crying in pain was all so confusing.

She had already called her brother Arthur. And she knew he must be in the way. She was pretty sure Maria would come with Arthur too. Knowing your child in pain must have been so hard.

She tried to feed her the medicines but Vanessa just couldn't keep it in. She hadn't eaten since morning. It was beginning to turn dark.

She would wait for her brother to arrive before taking her to the hospital but she knew. Something was really wrong. Her gut was telling her it was all because of someone named Lucus.

And she didn't know why, but she asked John, her husband, to keep Vanessa on watch and as the night was falling, She went to Lady Augusta.

She knew where she lived. Just on the hut outside the pack houses. She knocked on the door.

" Took you long enough, Mary, to reach out to me. Your mind was seeking answers about your niece's condition. I was waiting for you. Now take me to her. "came a voice as the door opened. The shrill in the voice gave her goosebumps.

The old lady was always weird. But now Mary was sure she must have been a psyche.

Lady Augusta did not speak. She just goes on the route which takes them to Mary's house.

Mary didn't know how the old lady knew her house. She was just creeped out with the passing minutes.

As she rounded the corner of the house. She could see her brother's car so they must have come already.

She and old lady Augusta entered Vanessa's room when she saw Marie crying her eyes out.

" I told you, Arthur, it was a bad idea. Just a day went by, now my sweetheart is lying sick out of her mind. Let's take her home. Right this second. Butterfly I won't let anything hurt you. " Marie looked at her husband. She demanded her husband to take her daugther home.

" You all will take her home. This will make her close to her mate. The symptoms will go but you will destroy the sisterly bond which prevails by a thin line. Do this or that she faces the consequences." lady Augusta's old hunting voice startled everyone.

" Mate? " it was whispered by everyone.

" I am sorry, ma'am. But my daughter will be eighteen in six months. She has yet to receive her mate. Which mate are you talking about? " Arthur said with so much confusion in his voice.

" You fools, what do you think is happening to her? Her mate had rejected her. Knowing or unknowingly is for them to decide, but what she is going through is the symptoms that a werewolf faces when rejected. You haven't seen it because it is uncommon to see rejected mates. " Lady Augusta moved towards the bed.

" What ? How ? When " was spoken again.

" I am not here for you fools. You " she pointed to Maria. " Move. I'll let your daughter sleep. Just for this night. Bring her mate here before she doesn't survive to see the sunlight." She spoke so harshly that Mary felt the temperature drop in the room.

"Lucus. Lucus. " This one word was all that Vanessa spoke now. She was in a fever spell. She knew no one but she just knew Lucas.

" Lucus ?" Maria spoke and looked at Arthur as if he held all the explanations.

" I don't know. " Arthur didn't know what to do.

The old lady, Augusta, put her hand on Vanessa's forehead.

" Sleep my child. The chaos is yet to come. But you will have your mate with you. The bond that feels rejected will heal." She kissed her forehead like a loving mother.

And without a word she left the room into the darkness.
