Chapter 7

Mia's POV

'He is back' - Christabel

The moment I read the message, I stumbled to get up from the bean bag in which I had sunk myself to watch the movie. Searching my bag amongst the litter we had caused with food and drinks

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Where's the fire?" Kate asked me when she noticed my impatient behaviour

"I need to go, I remembered something urgent" I managed to tell her between my uneven breathing

Both Kate and Matthew were looking at my change of behaviour

"Do you want me to drop you?" Matthew asked

I was so tempted with the offer, but I can't let him see where I live. Humans were not allowed near pack house. I will have to catch a bus to reach home

"No thanks" I told him almost running out of door

This man had left me in the middle of night, without telling me, didn't even attend any of my call or called back. And now he is back and he still doesn't have courtesy to inform me? I seriously need to bash him.

I was panting by the time I reach our room, but it's empty. Just in same condition I had left it

I was loosing it. Tears were burning in my eyes to run free. I mindlinked Christabel.

"Where is he?" I asked

"Chris, WHERE IS HE?

No reply

'pack hospital' she replied with a huff.

What? What happened. I ran towards the hospital. It was the small unit near grounds. I was scared for him, for me. I searched every room in the hospital, praying to moon goddess for his wellness and my sanity. I saw him, sitting on the bed in one of the room. He was just in his pants looking distressed, covered in dirt and blood

Doctor Sonia was tending to his wounds which I was not able see as her back was in between.

He looked up as I opened the door and went inside. Our eyes meet. I heard him take a deep breath. I wanted to punch him but I know I will hurt myself

"Mia" He called out. There was so much pain and longing in his voice

I know he missed me, as much I missed him. I could see it in his eyes and I could feel it with the way he was looking at me

I took small steps towards him. My vision was getting blury due to all the tears. When I was standing next to doctor I saw it

A huge, deep, nasty, ugly cut, running from his chest to the left arm. Just above his heart.

I gasped.

Victor's POV

We had been interrogating the Rouges that we caught other day. They told us about their leader, who was forcing rouges to join him. We even got his location from them. I decided to check it myself.

It was a secret mission and just Alpha and other two warriors who were gonna accompany me, knew about it. All the while I thought, this seemed too easy to get to. And I was right. it was a trap. The whole thing was a plot. They had made themselves caught by us. They gave in on our torture just in a day and started talking

When we reached the location after a day long run, 20 rouges were waiting for us. We had walked straight into it. We were easily outnumbered. But then again it's not easy to take down warriors of Pearl moon pack

We killed them all, but the last one took out the dagger and slashed me with it deep, right above my heart. He again lifted his hand to stab my heart but his hands were ribbed off by my man.

I was bleeding heavily. We ran back towards pack house. I was pushing Lex to his full limits. He had started healing me which prevented infection. He was drained of all the energy by the time we reached. I had mindlinked Jaylden my best buddy and fellow warrior and he was already at the door to help me.

I didn't wanted Mia to see me in this condition. I didn't inform her about my return but she found out, I don't know how. I saw her standing at the door crying, looking at me with hurt in her eyes

I cursed myself for being the reason of her pain. Still I was so happy to see her after these days. She came near taking small step looking in my eyes, questioning me why I had left her without informing her. Then she saw the wound and gaspe

"What happened" she asked doctor with sadness

She was now avoiding looking in my eyes

"It's nothing, just a.." I tried to say but doctor Sonia intrupted me

"It just a 10 inches long, 2 inches deep cut made within silver dagger that was dipped in wolfbane. I need to stitch it up." She said .

Mia was now looking at it with horror, tears running down her face. I looked at Doctor and mindlinked her

'Great! Now fix it

She smiled

"So Victor, you found your mate, she is preety." Doctor said

"Yes she is, Mia" I said proudly

"Mia can you help me with this" doc asked and she nodded

"Can you hold Victor for me, while I stitch this up. Its gonna hurt bad"

Before she could say anything I pulled her with my hand across her waist and hold her close to me. She hesitated a bit but then wrapped her arms around my neck and started rubbing my back to comfort me.

The warmth of her embrace, healed all my pain and tiredness. Lex was purring happily.

I looked at doc and she winked at me, while working on my wound

"All right warrior you are good to go. Take your medicine on time. Stay away from water for today and try not to move your arm. You may be strong but rest." Doctor Sonia gave her instructions after she had bandaged my wound and looking deep in my eyes. She was a smart lady in her mid fifties. She knows me so well

"What! No bath, I am stinking" I said frustrated

"Sponge bath" doc told Mia and she nodded while helping me get off the bed

Jaylden who was standing at the corner came forward to help me

I introduced Mia to him

"Mia, thats Jaylden, my best buddy and Jaylden this is Mia my mate." I said holding her by shoulders next to me

"Hey Mia,"

"Hi"

We were walking towards our room and Jaylden was supporting me to walk with Mia walking in front of us

"So Mia, how is it being mate with Victor?" Jaylden asked Mia

"I don't know, my mate keeps running away from me" she said not bothering to look at us

I was so taken back with her answer full of hurt that I stopped walking for a bit. Jaylden looked at me with big O formed on his lips and gestured his hand across his neck indicating

'I am dead'

We reached our room and Jaylden helped me to get in bed. He was about to leave when Mia called him

"Do you have mate Jaylden?" She asked him

"Nooo! Still looking for her. Anyways I will take your leave. And rest" he said pointing his index finger to me

Mia went in bathroom, brought a wet towel and started with my sponge bath. I told her I can do it myself but she insisted. She was still not looking at me. When she came near to wipe my face I lifted her chin to look in her eyes. Tears started to well up again in her eyes. I rested my head to hers holding us together

"I am sorry" I said

"Will it be always like this? Has it been always like this?" She asked in her broken voice

Like what? " I got confused

"Like, you going away without informing and coming back all injured." She was now looking in my eyes, searching for truth

"Yes! Earlier no one noticed. But that's how it has been" I didn't wanted to give her false hopes.

"Can you atleast manage the injury part?" She asked so innocently

I smiled at her and kissed her forehead. She was so cute and innocent

"Yes, I will try.

I took a small nap and rested while Mia prepared our dinner, spaghetti with meat balls. It was delicious. We were just gonna call it night when there was a knock at the door. Confused at who could be there, so late in night

"I will get it" Mia went out to check..
