Arthur's POV

The closest hospital I could get to was Marian Christian Hospital and so, I take Echo there. When I get to the hospital, two nurses come out with a stretch and I gently place my boy on the bed and they start wheeling him inside.

"What happened to him?" the one nurse that looks a little older than me inquires.

"I don't know. He just fainted." I explain as I walk behind them.

"Is he allergic to anything, or was he introduced to a new environment or new people maybe?" the other one continues.

"Today was his first day of school," I utter, not sure how this is relevant to him fainting. Echo is a werewolf, and even if he met new people, fainting is the last thing that would happen to him.

The blood that runs through him is that of an Alpha wolf and a hybrid she-wolf. By law, he is the least to get nervous breakdowns or whatever it is that mortal humans go through. His body is stronger, and faster and naturally heals at a quicker pace, even without his mate by his side.

In the land, he is one of the strongest little werewolves who are yet to shift. So talking about him and fainting I knew was already a waste of time as it was not about that. But since I'm already here, I might as well take him in, and let them examine him.

"Maybe it's the shift of environment," the lady replies.

"That would be impossible." lady one murmurs, and she checks Echo's pulse.

"His breathing is close to non. He is barely alive," she whispers. Lady one rushes to the receptionist, whilst we continue with the journey toward the inner parts of the hospital and after a few seconds, the intercom bursts with her voice.

"Code blue, in reception. Doctor Obama, you are needed in reception." I turn and look at her, and her eyes and body are radiating fear and I walk towards her.

I know what code blue meant and as much as I knew that Echo wasn't going to die, him playing around with death wasn't particularly pleasing either.

"Nurse, what's happening with my son?" I question before I even reach her.

She passes me instead and rushes to go to where my son is with lady two. I grab her hand, and when she tried to pull away, she fails.

"I asked you a question," I repeat. "what's happening to my son?"

"Daddy, daddy come back." Echo mind links me, with a faded voice that puts me in panic mode. I immediately let go of the nurse, I turn around and follow my son's scent.

"I'm coming son," I reply, picking up my pace, and rushing to get to him. Before I could even get to him, I feel it. The shock that Echo's body is receiving. It's faint but it's there.

At this, I start running inside and when I get to his room, three doctors surround him, and the nurse that was wheeling in is in their midst with a AED, trying to revive him.

"Dad, make them stop." he whispers with what seems to be his last breath, "They are hurting him. They are hurting my wolf."

"Let. Go. Of. My. Son." I growl in anger, my eyes instantly changing colors, and everyone backs away in fear. I rush towards him and I try shaking him to wake him up to no avail.

"Come on Echo," I mind linking him. "These humans need to know you are not dead. Wake up, son."

"I am tired. All I can do is move my fingers," he explains. I take his hand into mine and I squeeze it.

"Do it." just immediately after that, Echo squeezes my hands and the doctors are in awe of just what just happened.

I let go of the breath I was holding on too, and I let go of his hand whilst the doctors start nursing him, putting two IV fluids on both his hands, as he has zero to no energy.

"Does he pass out often?" she questions.

"No," I reply. "This is the first time this has happened."

"It must have been shocking as this is the first time this has happened. We are sorry that you had to watch that." I am now sitting on a chair next to Echo's bed.

The IV fluids are dropping by fast, and whilst he is at it, the doctor tries to inject my son with his some other medicine. The three doctors leave, whilst she is at it.

"What is that?" I question.

"Oh, this is Vitamin B12. It will assist him with getting his energy back," she clarifies. "Unless you don't consent off course, which is something I personally don't recommend."

"Is it okay Echo?" I appeal to my son in a mind link.

"It's okay dad. I can take it. Can you please ask for two doses please?" he suggests.

"Can you please make it two doses nurse?" I add. she looks at me in confusion and surprise.

"I don't think his body can take that many fluids whilst still having an IV injected into him." she states.

"I can consent to whatever you need, and believe it or not, I know exactly what will assist my son and two shots of Vitamin B12 is one of those. Please don't deprive him of that." I beg.

"I am sorry sir, but I can only change the dose according to the doctor's orders." she stands her ground instead.

"Then can I talk to him or her?" I query.

"About?" A human brunette enters the room and she smells like a doctor. Even her thoughts are those of how her patients are doing.

"A double dose of B12." I stand up in respect to her.

"Unfortunately, we can only do that if we see that your son is responding well to the given medicine, then we can add more."

"But,-"

"In the meantime," she cuts me off, "Why don't you go register your son at the reception and then come back?" she suggests.

Before I can even say anything, Echo approves, "It's okay dad. I'm better now. I'll call you if I need anything. Right now I just want to rest." I nod my head and before I leave, I check his pulse again.

It's not back to normal, but it's more stable. I smile and I walk out of the room, heading towards the reception as instructed by the doctor.

Quinn's POV

A long day it has been. I did my round with the interns and they got to familiarize themselves with their patients, the parents of the patients, the children's allergies, and what makes them happy.

I on the other side, just finished surgery on an eight-year-old boy who had a shifted spine from a car crash. It was successful and I hope that Cinna heals up fast.

I got back to my office after changing. When I get there, I have an email from Colt's dad thanking the hospital for taking care of his baby boy and nursing him back to health.

It was these little beautiful things that made me feel proud of being a doctor. I take a seat on my chair, close my eyes and I think of the guy, a very specific guy.

Mr. Handsome.

What exactly happened in the morning? And how was it possible to feel like that? I touch the parts where our hands brushed and I can still mini sparks arising from there

What is happening to me?

"I'm awakening ..." a voice echoes in my mind, sending chills down my spine. I stand up in a flash, and my heartbeat pounds out of my chest. For a second, even my breathing is uneven.

what the actual heck?

I take my coat, and I head out to ensure that the interns are doing their jobs right.

Hallucinations,

I tell myself shaking my head.

'It's been a long day and I am just hallucinating.'

    Quin's POV I was tired when I got home. The crazy voice was gone, and I was somewhat normal. When I open the door, Dawn is waiting for me with a bowl of popcorn on her hands. Marie is sleeping on her movable crib. "Handsome guy, start talking." It's all she says, and tingles start sparking again. "Arhh, that guy." I close the door, and place my bag on the table, taking out my coat and placing it on top of it. "He is one peculiar guy." I state, as I take a seat on the couch. "Yes and talk, what about the guy? You have never spoken about any guy so bluntly except your dad. What is so different about him?" She questions, her eyes twinking with sparks of curiousity. So I start with his eyes, "His eyes glow." "Oh honey, people's eyes don't just glow, and that's not how you start a story. You don't just get to confuse me the first five seconds of the story and expect me to be okay with that. You explain from A to Z so I can paint my imagination with color." She explains, and I nod, a

    Arthur's POV After I had registered Echo, when I came back, he was asleep. I informed my secretary, Galaxie, that I will not be attending the annual meeting as Echo was on and off and it was a bit disorientating, so she suggested that we have a zoom meeting instead. That took up most of the day, and by noon, going to evening, I had reports that my businesses that we're catering for, the Carpenter and Agricultural schools in Bangkok, Beijing, Shanghai, the Middle East, Russia, and Afghanistan were going as planned.It was now dark out and the doctors have come and gone taking Echo's blood for tests the second nurse who came in with us, whose name I later learned was Letty, was changing the IV fluids to new ones which were already on the fourth pack of them.My mind kept drifting back to a pair of amazon eyes, melanin skin, and a very specific low-placed bun in platinum hair.

    Quin's POV We slept at the hotel, as per Dawn's instructions. We took our clothes with us as we wouldn't have to go back home. "You ready to go?" I knock on her door and urging her out her room. we were staying in a suite with two separate rooms as me and wailing babies at night don't vibe well. It was six o'clock and her school starts at seven. That is great because the hotel is close to the school, meaning I could easily drop her off and head in the opposite direction of where she works. Fun."I'll be out in a minute!" she calls out. I nod and head to the lounge. I take my phone out of my back jean pocket, and order us breakfast via room service. Scrambled eggs, with cheese, mushrooms, and 2 sausages, a slice of brown bread with jam and butter, and lastly, freshly squeezed orange juice, all for Dawn. She eats hearty meals from time to time;- and today was one of those days. She has a poster back at our house posted on the fridge which she follows. And today, well it's one of thos

    Quinn's POV We finished breakfast within the next few minutes, I, on the other hand, keeping to myself about the wolf dream, and the mystery guy I met the day before, and how I was feeling about the whole situation. We talk about other trivial things instead, that were not of significant importance to me. We finish our meal and head out. I check out, while Dawn heads to the car. I pay my dues, and meet her in the car. We don't say much to each other as the radio is already on low volume and snippets of this and that were going about the car. Within minutes, I arrive at her school and drop her off. I quickly head to work, a smile spreading on my face, making me look stupid. Blame it on my love for the babies and the children in need. Approximately fifteen minutes later, I reach the hospital, and I'm graced by Tomas with a clipboard, looking like he was waiting for me to arrive. I quickly sign in, and he immediately starts leaking. "We have a transfer child," he states, handing me

    Quinn's POV My breathing, hiccups. I turn back to Echo, whose grip on me is rather tight, and his father, comes back to life and he goes towards his son. At that moment, something in me awakens. Call it a motherly love, or getting too attached to the patient, but some in me gave. It gave access to my heart and I wanted Echo to be okay. I wanted him to heal, just like any other kid, but more than that, I was anxious that the IV fluids he still had on would be an overdose for him.He wakes up, and I try pulling my hand away, and he repeats what he had said a few seconds ago, making me stiff."Echo, that is not your mother," his father reprimands. "But father, she is." he insists, looking at his dad, then back to me.I smile instead. I know the kid has probably had one too many IV fluids and will need a break from them."It's okay, kids are often a bit fazed when they wake up, and they tend to say weird things," I assure the father, whilst still rubbing Echo's hands.

    Quinn's POV The moment I got to my office, I entered and locked the door, and I breathe. And not normal inhale, exhale normal type of eish. No, I'm talking about heavy exhales, chest patting, with one of your hands on your knees, the other, on the wall for support after being chased by the neighbor's dog that has always wanted to devour you. "Well, it's about time." the head voice echoes. I'm shaking, and I don't know what's worse, having some crazy crush on a man with a kid, or this voice that just doesn't wanna go away. "About time for what?" I ask, my voice, trembling with a scare, and to say I was not terrified would be a lie. I mean, who wouldn't? I'm talking to myself, for goodness sake, shouldn't that be the reason to deem myself crazy already? if anyone would enter this room, they would think I'm starting to lose my mind, if it hasn't already been gone. "Calm down, you not losing your mind." the voice chuckles, "It's just good old Lia here. No harm meant, nor intended towa

It was still early in the morning and since we have been searching for good food to eat in these woods, both I and my daughter was tired.We have been running and hiding since yesterday morning, although we are supernatural beings, I'd like to add, we have lost touch. I slightly touch her and she awakens. "Mother." she is now in full alert mode."We need to leave. They have found us." I mutter, packing up our makeshift bed and pillows. Yes, I am a werewolf, but before that, I am a witch, and I prefer comfort above all else. Oregon doesn't need to be told twice, and she is up. She is a hybrid too, the very few that are still alive. I take out a potion for noise alteration, it will deafen their ears to hear us moving so we are not easily caught, and I mix it with the invisible potion so they can't see us. I can sense them.

She replies on the third ring."How is Echo?" she answers."Nanna, he is fine.""You sure?" her voice shows of all her vulnerability."Yes, he is alive and kicking." I look at him smiling. "Listen, Echo still needs a doctor and I found one for him." I go straight to business. "She is a human doctor, and I'm not sure how the pack is going to take it." I explain."He needs a doctor? you losing me here. Why would Echo still need a doctor, what was his last diagnosis, and why would you take a human doctor?"

So if one is anxious, the other would feel it as if they are there, if the one is hurt, the other would hurt in the same spot. But what if? Just, what if he felt wrong? "I will take over your body and enter this room if you don't," Ares warns me. I open the door and there she is, standing right there, touching her hair. My heart stops for a second. "Are you real?" I whisper, dropping my phone. Quinnzel pauses, and her heart picks up pace. The moment, it does, I rush and crash into her, hugging her a little too tightly. I take in her scent, it's still as intoxicating and strong. I grin, feeling a sense of completion with her around. "I am real," she coughs. "You squeezing too hard," she adds, and I loosen the grip."Sorry," I mutter, still hugging her. We just stand there, holding on to each other like the world is ending. I a

    Quin's POV"Quin," I hear a voice calling me in the darkness and I stop. The voice is monotone, and I can't tell whether it's a man or a woman. I look around with my glowing eyes, but I see nobody. I look at Acai, who also shakes her head. But what I know and am certain of, somebody did call me, and it gave me chills. But I shrug my shoulders, and pretend we didn't hear anything and we continue walking. I am not sure how long I've been out here, and how much longer this has to go on.All I know is that I haven't been hungry or had the urge to use the toilet nor have I felt a tiny ping of wanting to sleep. This is discouraging because it feels like I've only walked for a day or two max and this might take more than that. "Quin," the voice calls out again. I stop yet again and look around to no avail, starting to get freaked out. I try to take a step to see if the voice calls out my name again, and this time I am not surprised, but freaked out.

Have you never seen her being treated?" I cue. "No, the doctors back in the city don't allow that," she clarifies. "Well, I always want to know what's happening.

"Can you please get this done before I get to the office? I will stall the guys. Is that possible?" he asks the other person whose name I believe is Lucien. He nods his head then and he ends the call."I can hear your heartbeat you know," he utters and I come into view. "Hey," I sheepishly laugh, waving."You ready to leave?" he inquires."Sure," I come down with my suitcase and he takes it and carries it for me."Sorry about that," he starts as we head towards the car."Sorry about?""The yelling.

I hope she is one. I focus on what she asked me for. The wishlist. I sit on the couch and I start thinking hard and wide. What's the one thing that I've always desired? My list would be long if I would start from when I was a kid. But before I can jotter down anything, I call Meriya to help me get a pen and a paper.

Besides her life story that she thinks defines her, her character, her personality, her smile, and everything good reminds me of Rue. How she could have grown, how she would have smiled, what type of wolf she would carry, the strength she would possess, and with all that, how I would want to protect her.

I am not sure how to respond to what my mom did to me, and in a way, I am trying to put myself in her shoes, but I am failing to comprehend how she did what she did and still lived without regret in her heart. For her to separate us to keep us safe is one thing, but choosing to let us stay separated is a choice she could have undone. I could have met my sister in the city if she wasn't sure how she would turn out, and we would have had a bond. I would protect her with my life and maybe then, I would have found my mate sooner. But no, she did what she did, and I don't know how to look at her without anger and disappointment in my heart. "Dawn, if your mom did what my mom did, what would you do?" I ask her.
