Chapter five

Xeros Pov 

I didn’t take my eyes off Aria throughout the entire journey back to the pack house. Upon our arrival at my pack house, I was quickly led to my private room and made to lay down on the bed. I instructed Aria to wait with my brothers. 

A few minutes later, a man walked in, “Hello Xeros, I am the doctor that has been assigned to monitor your healing process” 

“From what I can see, your wolf is healing really slowly and we need to do something urgently so as to save its life,” the doctor explained. “I would like you to give me all the details, from when the injury occurred till this very stage” 

I groaned, I couldn’t see myself explaining the whole thing to him again. It made no sense. 

“Leave.” I said firmly. 

“What do you mean by that? You require urgent attention” the doctor insisted.

“Leave and tell them I will only get treated by Aria”  I instructed the doctor and I watched his face fill with unease before stepping out of the room. 

Alexander came in a few minutes Later, “this isn’t safe, Xeros. We have no idea who that lady is! She might just be another traitor” he said. 

“I have asked someone to get more information on her and until then she isn’t coming anywhere near you” 

I stared at him, “do you want me to die?” 

“What do you mean by that?” He asked in confusion.

“I said, do you want to lose your brother?!” I said more firmly. 

Alexander shook his head. 

“Then bring Aria to me. Right now!” I said, then groaned in pain as I felt the intensity of the pain double. 

The next thing I could remember was hearing Aria’s voice, “he would need to get a blood transfusion. He has lost a lot of blood” 

“And how can the blood be gotten?” Alexander questioned her. 

“I would donate my blood,” Aria said. 

“There is no way I’m letting you do that,” Alexander argued. I knew he felt the idea of Aria offering to donate blood to me was suspicious.

But, for some reason, I had so much trust in her. “Let her do it, Alex” 

Alexander stared at me, “I promise, I would be fine” I assured him. 

He nodded, then gave Aria the permission to begin the process.

I watched as she found a way to extract a small volume of her blood and then watched her set up an IV with some of the medical equipment the doctor brought earlier. She inserted the needle into my arm and her blood started flowing through my veins. 

A few minutes later, I began to feel relieved. Her blood was making me better and stronger. I stared at Aria who sat at the corner of the room with a tired look on her face. I needed to do something to make her stay longer. 

“Aria,” I called out, trying to get her attention. 

She tilted her head to stare at me. 

“Tell me more about yourself. How long have you been working as a doctor?” I asked. 

“Four years now,” she replied. “I also have a broad knowledge of werewolf medicine, hence my ability to treat you” 

“And how has it been working as a doctor?” I asked again. I wanted to keep on hearing her voice, she intrigued me. 

She gave me a breakdown of how it has been for her. The challenging and the rewarding aspects of being a doctor. With every sentence she uttered I found myself being more drawn to her, 

I needed someone like Aria as my Luna. 

“I need to leave for a few minutes” she said as she rose to her feet. I felt the emptiness immediately she left, that is how much she kept me entertained and fascinated. 

The door to the room opened and I was a bit disappointed when I saw it wasn’t Aria but instead Alexander. 

“I have information on Aria” he stated, taking a seat beside me. 

I nodded, “tell me” 

“She is a criminal, her pack is currently searching for her” Alexander stated, “it was said that she committed a crime and was exiled to the human world for a few years” 

I nodded as it all made sense why she learnt medicine in the human world. I began wondering about the crime she committed that made her pack exile her. 

Alexander left the room and after a short while, Aria stepped into the room. 

“Aria, why are your pack members searching for you? They claim you are a criminal” I asked immediately as she stepped into the room.
