Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 51

ALPHA JASON STONE.

I had called Tanya, I was worried that the potion that she gave me was what had caused Amber to collapse. She had assured me that it wasn’t. I spent most of the night pacing around my bedroom. How was I going to get her to sleep with me if she’s stuck in the pack hospital. I only had forty-two hours left to make it happen. Brutus was mad ate again. He didn’t like that I was willing to trick Amber into being mine. He doesn’t understand. Part of me longs for her. I honestly believe that the best place for her is with me. I call to see how she’s doing and am pleased to hear that she’s awake. Now that I know she’s OK, I can relax a little. I decide that it’s as good of a time as any to go and replace out exactly what Adam knows and what he plans to do with that information.

ELLIE.

I am exhausted. I didn’t sleep a wink. We spend all night trying to get hold of Adam, with no luck. I couldn’t shake this feeling deep in the pit of my stomach. I just knew that something had happened to him. We hadn’t told Becky yet as she had spent the night at the hospital with Amber. I couldn’t put it off any longer, though, especially when she might know something that could help. My children had always been close, so if Adam was in some sort of trouble, I was sure that he would have told his sister.

I reached out to her over mindlink, telling her that her brother was missing. I let her know that if she had any information that might help even in the slightest that she needed to tell me. She didn’t respond straight away. So she did know something. “Becky, please tell me whatever it is that you know.” I pleaded with her. She told me to come to the hospital with Peter, and she would tell us everything. She said that it was something that Amber needed to hear as well.

I took a deep breath before pushing open the door to Amber’s hospital room. Both the girls looked tired, it seems like they had a difficult night too. Peter squeezed my hand lovingly, and I looked up into his big brown eyes, full of worry. I couldn’t love this man anymore if I tried. We asked about how Amber was doing first, and then after making sure no one was around to hear us, we told Becky to tell us what she knew.

Becky looked at Amber. “I was meant to tell you this yesterday, it’s why I wanted to see you, Adam called me when he couldn’t get in touch with you. He overheard some of the pack warriors talking about how they had captured a werewolf of Alpha b***d. Adam thought that it might be Chris, so he tried to let you know.” She barely paused for breath. “If they realised that Adam heard them, then they might have taken him too.” She said, worried. Becky mindlinked to me that there was more, but that she needed to speak to me about that without Amber around. I was confused. Was there some reason that we shouldn’t trust Amber.

I asked Becky to come and help me get coffee so that we could talk alone. Leaving Peter there to keep Amber company. She told me that Adam had mentioned possibly leaving town at some point, but that she didn’t think he would have gone without saying goodbye. I asked why he would be thinking of leaving, and she told me that he thinks Amber might be his mate. I was even more confused now. That would be a good thing, a wonderful thing. Why would that make him want to leave? Sensing my confusion, Becky continued, telling me that it didn’t seem like Amber was feeling the mate pull with him. He also felt that she would never choose him over the Alpha. I was so sad to hear that my son was feeling all that. Ibhaf absolutely no doubt, however, that if she was his true mate, Amber would never choose another man over him, no matter who that man was.

We got back to the room with the coffees and found Amber chatting to that witch with the purple streaks. I don’t know why but I got a bad feeling from her. She handed Amber a bottle of a blue liquid and smiled as she drank in in one gulp. I already knew about the potion she had been giving Amber, so I wasn’t too worried about that. After all, it had only helped so far, but there was something about the way she smiled that sent off warning bells in my head. Rose was uneasy, too. The witch told Amber that she was only a call away if she needed her and was gone in a blink.

AMBER.

Tanya had arrived shortly after Ellie and Becky left the room. At first, I wondered how she knew that I was here, and then I realised that Jason must have told her. Although I’m not sure why. She told me that she could do a quick spell that might help with the pain. I agreed, and she waved her hand over my chest while chanting something that I couldn’t understand. Her eyes were bright purple and looked as if they were on fire. She smiled at me and told me that hopefully that would help, but as we didn’t know what was causing the pains, she couldn’t guarantee it. I thanked her as Ellie and Becky returned.

After drinking the final dose of the potion, I began feeling different almost instantly. I felt stronger somehow, and all my senses were in overdrive. I asked Peter to turn off the overhead light as it was suddenly blinding. He did so at once, and Ellie asked if I wanted the doctor, but I refused. Somehow, I knew what was happening. It was just my body adjusting to Star and everything that came with her. I could feel her now. She was stirring inside me.
