Charter 77

 

"So, what were you thinking so hard about?" she asked me curiously, tapping on the side of my head slightly causing me to chuckle."What makes you think that?" I asked her with a raised brow, grinning when I saw her roll her eyes."You were away with the fairies, I could practically hear the gears going in that brain of yours" she told me smugly. I laughed."If you must know I'm just thinking about something Paul was talking about, it's not important right now but I'll tell you later if you would like?" I asked her, wanting to know what her thoughts on the matter were as well as having my own. She would be coming with me after all, I mean it wasn't worth it if she would either hate me for it or spend our stay there unhappy. She was more important than anything else in my world; especially over some pack I hadn't even met yet."Ok" she smiled, pressing her lips to my cheek as I felt her breath in my scent. "I love the way you smell" she muttered making me laugh."Really?" I teased, "and what do I smell like?""Musky. Masculine. You smell like home, like where I belong" she told me, shocking me slightly with her honesty."Well, you, my darling mate smell like spicy citrus, a very seductive scent" I purred at her, beaming when she giggled adorably at me before pressing her lips against my own. Her taste instantly exploded into my mouth.Kissing my mate was like nothing I had ever experienced before; being with her so fully was something that I wouldn't trade in for the world.  To know that she had so much faith in me made both me and the alpha wolf inside of me purr and howl out in pure delight. She made me feel whole, a feeling I hadn't felt since my parents had died all those years ago."Really?" she asked innocently, looking at me with a twinkle in her eyes."Yep" I smiled, leaning forward to peck her on the lips softly. "You. Smell. Delicious." I continued, puncturing each word with a quick but passionate kiss.It was then that Holly suddenly looked nervous, my eyes searching hers as I wrapped my arms tighter around her as she leaned back against them while looking at me with her bottom lip between her pearly white teeth.She was so much smaller than me that even sitting on my thighs only just brought her face to face with me, but I found I loved how much more dominant I looked over her. My inner wolf loved it too."What's wrong?" I couldn't help but ask, concern dripping from my tone."Can I ask you something?" she asked nervously, my lips already forming my reply before I even knew what I was saying. Not that I would have had anything different to say anyway."Of course.""I don't want to pry" she muttered, clearly uncomfortable."You are my mate Holly, you have trusted me with your past so whatever you wish to know about me I have no problem telling you" I told her honestly.I found that even the thought of us hiding something from each other was painful to think about, I didn't want there to be any secrets or uncomfortable feelings between us and there would be if we kept things to ourselves."What happened to your parents, I mean you've never talked about them and…" "Oh" I found myself saying stunned, instantly regretting it when the color seemed to have drained from her face."I'm sorry" she panicked, her eyes wide as she tore her gaze from my own. "I didn't mean it…I knew I shouldn't have asked…I should have kept it to myself—" she panicked, her breathing coming out in sharp and painful—looking pants as her heart thumped at an alarming rate.Shit."Holly, Holly" I soothed, trying to get her attention as I gently ran my hands up and down her forearms. "I don't mind talking about it, but you're going to have to calm down" I told her slowly, worried about how fast her heart rate was going. That couldn't be good. Thankfully I seemed to get through her, her eyes no longer wide with panic and regret as she bited her lip while her breathing was still hard and sharp. She sounded as if she had just burst one of her lungs and it didn't sound at all healthy; I was instantly filled with concern.Quickly scooping her up into my arms I jogged us wordlessly towards the packhouse, knowing I needed to get Lisa to look at her as quickly as possible. I was worried about her, she wasn't at her healthiest right now and I would rather be safe than sorry. She was my life and I had only just found her; I couldn't lose her, I just couldn't.So with that on my mind I took us back to the packhouse as quickly as I could with her in my arms, knowing that I was most likely over—reacting but not wanting to take the risk.If anything happened to her, I didn't know what I would do.

 

Chapter 78

Adrian's Pov

Panicked I quickly dashed my confused mate into the house, and while her breathing had calmed down I didn't like how quickly her heart was still thumping away in that chest of hers. It didn't sound right. I knew I wasn't a doctor, but I also knew that something was wrong.Placing her gently on the bed as soon as I entered my bedroom I grabbed my phone out of my pocket before fumbling with the keys, quickly dialing Lisa's number as I stared at Holly while she looked at me strangely. It was clear she had no idea that something was clearly wrong with her heartbeat, it was still too fast and that was when she was calm."Hello—" was all I let Lisa get out before I was cutting her off."Come over, now" I demanded before hanging up, running a hand through my hair before walking into the bathroom. I needed to get a grip."Adrian?" Are you alright?"Sighing I splashed some water on my face, glancing up towards the mirror before I saw Holly in the reflection. She still looked pale, but the concern on her features made my insides melt at how innocent and fragile she looked. She was too delicate."I'm fine," I told her with strained grin."Why did you call Lisa, are you feeling unwell?" She asked me concerned, my smile fading as I dried my face before walking over towards her. Wrapping my arms around her waist I breathed in her scent, taking note that something else wasn't quite right with it. She normally smelt sweet I'll give her that, but the sharpness of it was new. She smelled…better, more potent almost.Fighting down how her new scent was making me react I tried to calm myself, taking deep breathes only to regret the action instantly. It had only furthered my suddenly lustful mood, my mouth salivating as I clenched my fists behind her back as I tried to get a grip.What was wrong with me?Shaking my head I reluctantly pulled away from her, still startled at how fast her heart was beating as I tugged her back into the bedroom before sitting her back on the bed. She shouldn't be walking around; it wasn't good for her when she was clearly unwell."How do you feel, Holly? Be honest with me" I pleaded with her, crouching down to my knees so I was her level as she sat on the edge of our bed. She looked nervous, confused."I don't know what you mean?"Running a hand through my hair in worry I wondered how long it would take for Lisa to get here. She had better hurry up if she knew what was good for her."Health wise, how do you feel?" I asked her again, seeing her think about it for a few minutes before she shrugged."I've felt kinda tired lately" she confessed, only making me more panicked that something was wrong."Is that it?" I asked weakly, forcing the small smile to remain on my face as I did so.Again she shrugged. "I sometimes have trouble breathing, but only for a few seconds before I catch my breath again" she hurriedly rushed after seeing my wide eyes looked."Since when?" I demanded of her, seeing her bite her lip nervously as she played with her hands in a gesture which told me she was uncomfortable. I didn't relent, I needed to know how long she had been feeling unwell and why she hadn't told me about it."Since the night in the woods" she mumbled, looking at me pleadingly as I fell back on my arse. Was this my fault? Had I been too rough? Hurt her?"Oh god…" I mumbled in my hands, not wanting to believe that it was my fault. I was drawn out of my self—pity however when there was a knock at my door, Lisa's scent filtering into my senses causing me to be instantly on my feet as I opened the door for her. "About time you got here!" I snapped, seeing her flinch before she hurried inside."What's wrong?" she asked concerned, taking note of Holly sitting on the bed confused."Listen to her heartbeat," I demanded as I pointed to my mate, not noticing how it was making her uncomfortable as Lisa did just that before her eyes widened."That's not right," she muttered before making her way over Holly. "Hello dear, how are you feeling today?"Taking a seat at my desk chair I watched as Lisa approached my mate, taking note of how Holly looked to me pleadingly but I didn't comment. I needed to know that she was safe, that she was healthy."Fine," she replied weakly, looking at me for help."Really?" Lisa asked skeptically, clearly not believing her."Tell her the truth Holly, she'll help" I told my mate, seeing her look at me with those wide eyes of hers. I looked away, repeating in my mind that this was for her own good."I feel tired sometimes, having trouble breathing" she mumbled, Lisa nodding before she grabbed her bag and pulled out a much smaller case."Right, this is medical syringe, it's to take blood" Lisa told my mate, holding up the needle causing Holly to pale. "Your heart rate is too fast, especially when you are only sitting down so I'll need to draw a small amount of—""No" Holly instantly protested, her face drained of all color. I swallowed."Holly—" I started."No, I don't want to" she continued to protest, making a move to rise from the bed only for Lisa to grip her wrist loosely to prevent her from doing so. I didn't know why but the action made me have to fight back a growl which wanted to rise from my throat. What was wrong with me? She was a doctor, a good doctor and I didn't want her touching my mate when it was necessary?
