12. This Pain

The spell was just about to finish when I felt intense pain, my eyes were changing into golden. Well, shit, my scent was back and it was dangerous as I was standing in front of so many male wolves. Yet adamant about completing the spell, I closed my eyes concentrating on my words.....Just there.....two more seconds...

******

Xavier Pov

I could feel someone calling me, the darkness was not letting me see who it was. I wanted to shout and ask for help but it was like something wrapping itself around me, I couldn't utter a word. 

"Xavier you can't be this weak!" I could hear my father's voice, it was like he was shouting at me. "You're pathetic!" He had always said that to me when I was small just because I would cry if someone would hurt me.

I couldn't do anything, every bad moment of my life was repeating itself in front of me. This was mental torture and I have to get out of this before I would go crazy.

Stella Pov

I woke up on the bed while Mia and Sebastian were looking at me worriedly.

"How are you, Ella?" she asked me but before I could say anything I fell back on the bed from my sitting position because of the pain.

"I-it hurts." I cried out loud. 

'Why would it hurt this much?' I asked my wolf.

'Because we haven't mated or been marked by our mate. Just a way of nature so that wolves will mark each other fast. You see if mates go near their mate in heat, they get attracted to each other. Moreover, their mate touch can make the pain a little less so they both will end up marking each other.' She explained all this like I didn't know that already.

"I think you should take bath, it will help." I nodded as Mia helped me in walking toward the bathroom. 

"I think I have found something that can maybe help Xavier." She said when we reached the dark brown oak door of the bathroom.

"What is it," I asked her, ignoring the unbearable pain.

"He himself, no one can do anything other than him. You know no one is powerful like him, not even a witch using black magic." She said on which I nodded.

"So if we make him fight from whatever it is going in his mind which is also stopping him from coming back then maybe...." She trailed off not completing the sentence.

"But what if he couldn't?" I asked with fear of something bad that I was about to listen to an answer to my question.

"Listen, Stella, he will be alright. He has to come back, he will fight for you. I know that. But if this doesn't work then we will find another way because he can not be in there for long. You know he is getting tortured mentally and this slowly will..." I knew how much harm it could cause him. He wasn't healing his physical injuries and mental torture above this could lead to a very bad consequence. I just wished at that time that the Moon Godness would make all this easy, I have lost everything and have lived a hard life but this time I couldn't lose anything.

All three of us went to look at Xavier who was lying down still in the same position. Oliver was watching him like any second he would wake up and I felt the same but it would be a miracle.

"So what are we gonna do?" I asked them. The pain was still there as I sat on the couch and Oliver kept a big distance in between because I knew it could be hard for him as he wasn't mated yet.

"Sebastian as a vampire has the power of playing with minds, he would show Xavier visions that will make him angry, and he will try to fight it. And if, only if it is needed then we will show him that you are in trouble or something like that." Mia explained while Oliver and I listened to her.

"So Sebastian has to make him angry and in anger, he will be fighting with all the magic and whatever is happening to him in mind because of poison?" Oliver asked and Sebastian nodded as he held Xavier's cold and pale hand in his hands.

I felt useless as I saw his body, what was he going through? How did it feel? If I was mated, would I have felt his pain? 

All the thoughts came to a stop when a wave of pain hit me hard.

"Oh my-" I couldn't say anything as darkness engulfed me. 

*********

I opened my eyes just to find myself again on the soft bed. I eyed my surrounding before glancing out from the window to see the sun playing hide and seek with clouds, the room was cold even when the windows were closed. I sat up thinking that once again I would feel some type of pain but....wow....no pain. This was good, it meant I have passed my first heat, wait....which meant the three days of heat were over.....which meant it was the fourth day. Oh, Godness! for how many days I was out? What about Xavier?

I went to the bathroom and after doing my morning routine I went downstairs and found the house empty. Where was everyone? 

On my to the hospital, I could hear whispers of people around me but I didn't give them my attention. I stopped when someone called my name.

"Stella, how are you?" Eva asked me while nearing me at a fast pace.

"I'm good, how are you?" I asked her while pinching lightly her chubby cheeks. She was so cute.

"I'm good, you know everyone is saying that you and your friend helped them. I saw that too." She said excitedly.

"Why were you there? It could have been dangerous." I said while looking at Elena, who was standing behind, with a raised brow.

"Was just passing by," Elena said but I didn't think that was the case. I stood up from my crouching position with Eva now clinging to me, her arms were tightly secured around my neck while her small legs were wrapped around my waist.

"Tell me the truth, dear friend," I said on which she smirked.

"Thought so you will say this." She said and asked me to follow her quietly. I didn't know what she wanted to say or why she was behaving like this but I knew one thing all this time someone was following me. I held Eva tightly, it seemed like something was going to happen.
