SWNOVELS Chapter 43
Skylar's POV
I just got out of the shower and was going to get dressed when a very out of breath Candy rushed into my room locking the door behind her before she turned to me and smiled. I handed her a bottle of water I had from earlier this morning she drank her fill and caught her breath before she finally spoke.
"Your mate's here with my pack, I told them to go and take care of Vance while I came to get you myself as it wouldn't raise any unnecessary suspicions while they did their thing.” Candy tells me. A giant grin spreads across my face knowing that my mate is here to rescue me from this horrid place finally. I rush into the closet and throw on a black lace bra and panties, black leggings and a red cropped sweater along with some socks and a pair of black studded ankle boots that looked bad ass. I dried my hair and put on some light make up as Candy brushed my hair for me, once she was done I left it down in it's natural waves as I stood and turned to Candy.
"I'm ready let's go and find my mate so I can finally leave this place and go home and see my little girl." I say to her as my eyes start to water Candy grabs my hands in hers as she unlocks the door and I follow her out into the hallway stumbling a little as I am still weak from the wolfsbane injections I get everyday but this mornings dose seemed to be a little more potent for some reason. We made out way down a series of hallways until we came to a corner and heard screams and growls coming from around the corner. I followed her around the mansion noticing that I had not recognized any of my surroundings. We were at what I assumed was the front doors of the mansion when I seen her eyes glaze over mind linking someone before she focused and turned to me.
"I just linked my Alpha to tell him I had you and where we are to get someone to let your mate know where you are and that you are safe with me.” She says to me as she wraps her arms around me to steady me as I was swaying a little bit before I collapsed onto the floor getting very dizzy as the edges of my vision started going black. I could her Candy yelling my name and telling me to stay with her and that someone was coming to help but eventually I couldn't focus on anything she was saying as the darkness consumed me.
Jace's POV
As my gamma and I were moving the boxes from Vance's office out into one of his many cars at a side entrance we found near the office. As soon as we were done one of the Blue Willow wolves came running at me letting me know that the Beta's mate had got my mate to the front doors and then all of a sudden his eyes glazed over as a look of worry settled onto his features as he turned to me with worry.
"Alpha Jace something has happened to your mate Candy is with her and so is Alpha Jason and they are already on their way to the pack hospital to find out what is wrong with her." he tells me
I get very worried and demand him to get in and drive me there immediately, before I get into the vehicle I link the rest of my pack letting them know what is going on and to meet Dalton at the mansions front doors and making sure everyone is accounted for before heading back to the Blue Willow pack house. I ask the wolf beside me is their beta was still here and he said yes so I relay that to my gamma and tell him to help Jason's beta with anything he needs before they all head back. I tell the wolf to step on it and he does and we make it to their pack hospital in record time. As soon as I step out of the car I can smell her which both calms and worries me as I walk inside I find Alpha Jason and his beta female Candy in the waiting room pacing back and forth waiting to be told anything as they freeze when they notice me standing there watching them with worry.
"What's happened I thought she was okay?" I ask concerned
"I don't know what's wrong with her she seemed fine when I got her. She was stumbling slightly but I figured that was just from the wolfsbane injections she was getting everyday but they must have done something to the one she got today. The doctor is doing some tests now and will come and get us when they know what's wrong with her." the girl Candy tells me with sad eyes
"Thank you Candy for looking out for her all these months that she was there I know she never would have been able to survive being there if it wasn't for you. I am glad she had a friend like you to help take care of her and help keep her sane. I don't know how we could ever repay you for everything you have done for us.” I tell her as tears start to fall from my eyes
"The only thing that I want you and her to do is to make it home safely to your little girl and live happily for the rest of your lives.” She says to me as she wraps me in a hug right before the doctor enters the waiting area to address all of us.
"Alpha, Alpha Jace, Beta Female, there seems to be high traces of wolfsbane in her system along with something else we are still running tests to figure out what it is. We have given her an IV of fluids to keep her hydrated. She is still asleep but you can come back and see her if you'd like." The doctor tells us, I nod my head and we follow him back to a room where I run to her side and grab her hand in mine and kiss her knuckled before I place my forehead on hers and kiss every single part of her face as I cry and talk to her hoping she can hear me and will come back to me.
"Baby I'm here, you're safe and out of that awful place. I love you so much love and I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that but I promise you nothing like that will ever happen again just please don't leave me. Come back to me baby I need you by my side and so does Lilith our baby girl whose gotten so big just wait until you see her. She needs you I need you please wake up baby I can't do this without you." I tell her as the tears run down my face.
I don't know when the others left but I sat there at her bedside holding her hand waiting for her to wake up. I did this everyday and every night, the only times I left her alone was to go and eat and shower. The doctor still doesn't know what's wrong with her and why she isn't waking up. I am starting to fear the worst and thinking that she may never wake up and I would have to go on without her. It's been a week of her sleeping and not waking up and the doctors come in and draw more of her blood to try and figure out what is going on and so far no one knows why she isn't waking seeing as they can't find anything that is causing it. It's going on day 14 so about 2 weeks and just as I am starting to lose hope something miraculous happens and she starts to stir and before I know it I see her eyes flutter open and look at me as she finally wakes up and I thank the Goddess for not taking her and bringing her back to me.
