"She’s just sick, she must’ve caught a virus" Miranda said looking at Jacob grimly "There are werewolf viruses that make us sick but she has a human virus. It happens to malnourished werewolves and seeing as she’s not a turner that was another factor in it."
"She hasn’t turned?"
"No, when a person turns there are certain...changes in their skin, barely recognisable but there and she doesn’t have them. I can assure you she hasn’t changed. I have also made a few tests and I’ll talk to you as soon as I get them. But for now just make her rest in a nice bed and make sure she eats."
I nodded and carried Celena up to one of the rooms. I would’ve preffered mine but I wouldn’t rush it. She looked so small and sad on the bed, so tired and unconscious I doubted she was even dreaming, which was good considering she had constant nightmares from what I saw in the cave.
After a while I finally forced myself to get out to talk to the others, they were waiting for me in the living room. Ren and Nate pouring over Aurora’s birthday while the others chatted away. Everyone looked up at me as soon as I came in. I sat on the couch next to Keith and sighed.
"She’s just sick, human virus, from malnourishment. And, apparently, she hasn’t shifted"
"There’s no way she’s less than thirteen" Xavier said "She’s seventeen minimum"
"I know" I said feeling myself get angrier "So I think it’s because of what the hunters did to her"
"Me and Ethan are contacting our allied packs, the Hunters have been stepping on our toes for a while now and we stayed back because we didn’t want to lose wolves, but we can’t stay quiet wile they steal our kind and do- who knows what with them." Lily said angrily "I’ve taken care of where the people who don’t fight would be in case of an attack"
"Hopefully it won’t come to that" Adrian said with a sigh "But we need information about them from your mate, Jacob. We need to be prepared, to know what they’re planning"
"She’ll talk when she’s ready and healthy" I all but growled at Adrian, I wanted my mate fully healed and happy. I didn’t want anyone pressuring her for information or anything she’s not ready to tell. Adrian obviously sensed that and sat back, his hands raised in a sign of surrender
I stared at him for a long while, just studying him while he shuffled awkwardly and then sighed "look at least go back in bed, you’re sick and you need rest. I’ll go downstairs to get you food" He looked at me, waiting for an answer but left when he didn’t get one. I immediately tried to stand up, my feet wobbled and I almost fell but I leaned on the wall. I was exhausted, a feeling I was familiar to everytime I got injected with a new drug.
=======================
Jacob
I walked in the room and sighed at seeing my mate asleep on the bed. I was scared she wouldn’t agree to rest and stay still, but I also knew she was too weak to do anything else. I put the tray of food on a table and walked towards her. I didn’t want to wake her up but Miranda said she had to eat, she was too malnourished.
I let my eyes go over her figure and suppressed a growl; she was too thin, too weak and fragile. Whatever the hunters did to her it made her so scared and fragile that it drove me insane with the need to slaughter them all.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, wanting to calm down before I woke my mate up. I didn’t need to scare her more than she already was.
