Chapter 24

 

Caine’s POV

“Where is she?” I growled as soon as I made it back to the mansion.

Macon was waiting for me outside, with a worried look on his face. He had been pacing back and forth in the front area. It angered my Wolf. He should have been watching over our mate. That was his only job.

“Macon!” I snapped loudly.

Adam was there. I was still outside, barely making my way in, but I could feel him. Macon must have called him as well.

“Alpha,” Macon said, breathlessly, bowing his head at me. He started walking beside me. I easily picked up on Charlotte’s scent. She was upstairs.

“I carried her to your room. The pup is with her,” Macon continued.

I took the stairs, and made my way up with inhuman speed. My Wolf wanted to come out. He wanted to take control of the situation. I would have been useless if I shifted, so I pushed him down. He wanted his mate. The only thing he did was make it harder for me to think.

I stormed into the room to find Charlotte lying down on the bed, unconscious. Adam was beside her, holding her hand, and trying to talk to her.

“Get the pack doctor. I want him here in five,” I ordered Macon.

“He’s on his way,” Macon told me. “He will be here soon.”

He damn well better be, my Wolf thought.

“Move,” I told Adam.

I could tell that my voice sounded deeper. It was my Wolf doing that, making changes, wanting out. Adam obeyed, but the look in his eyes told me he was worried.

“I, I’ll go, I will tell Liam,” he nervously said, and started walking out of the room.

I ignored him as soon as I took a seat beside Charlotte.

She was sweating. Her eyes were closed, but her face was strained. I wasn’t sure how the process was going to work for her. I hadn’t been around a Werewolf who shifted at any other age but thirteen. It had been a long time since anyone in our pack had mated with a human.

I took Charlotte’s small hand in mine, and held on to it tightly. I smiled inwardly when I realized there were small claws coming out. It was a good sign. The only thing I didn’t like was all the damn sweating and the fever she was still running. That was not normal.

I lowered my head right beside her ear, and placed a small kiss over the bite-mark of my claim. Whether she was asleep or not, her body reacted to me. A shiver ran through her body, and I faintly noticed her grunts of pain turned into moans.

“Can you hear me?” I asked, nuzzling my nose against her soft skin.

Charlotte whimpered, but she didn’t wake up.

“How is she doing?” Liam asked me.

It had been the third time that he had called in the last two hours. Charlotte had woken up for a few minutes during that time, but the pain had made her go unconscious again. The pack doctor had been useless. Other than giving her a sedative, which her body was more than likely going to burn through, he had done nothing!

“She has not woken up since the last time. Her canines seem fine now,” I answered.

I had been relieved when her canines showed up, until she started bleeding. That was another thing that had not been normal. When I called Liam to ask him about it, he told me it was fine. He claimed it had happened to him as well.
