Their kitten (Vee Poly Bxb)

11-Uh oh!

"I-I," our precious mate stutters, before his breath picks up. Before either of us can comprehend, Matthew had pulled back, shifted, and is darting out of the door, only being able to, thanks to our future Beta, Seth, for arriving late as usual.

Matthew darting out of the door causes Seth to jump back, probably not expecting a Neko to be in here let alone dart out the pack meeting's door. Matthew keeps running as Andrew and I chase him into the woods, not letting him go alone this time. After a minute or two, we both realize he's not going to stop running unless we stop him ourselves so that's what we do. Andrew speeds up to his right side and I go onto his left, slowly we speed up and start to narrow into his path causing him to slow down and eventually stop.

Once Matthew stops, we stop too, Andrew hesitantly leaning closer to him and giving him a gentle kiss on the side of his face. After a moment, he shifts once again and instantly drops to his knees, breaking down into sobs as he looks down at his lap, where his hands lay, fidgeting with blood still slowly dripping off of them. This is the first time we've seen him like this.

Yes, he's been anxious and let all of his emotions and anxiety out but this is different. Nothing as we've ever seen. The fear I see is on a totally different level and it breaks me just seeing him like this. I like to show I'm tough and I have a reputation of nothing bothering me but when it comes to Matthew, it hurts me knowing there's something wrong and the facade goes away immediately.

I'll admit it, it hurts like hell seeing him like this and it's honestly to the point that I feel like I need to gasp for air. Seeing him dazed out, staring off into whatever the hell he's doing, fidgeting and shaking to all hell. This is scary. Who the fuck could hurt someone so delicate in precious, and traumatize him so badly? I swear to the goddess if I see those bastards, ever, they're fucking dead. And when I say them, I mean anyone that's hurt him.

Andrew and I shift back before also dropping to our knees, staying close to him. He's sitting on his knees, his feet tucked under his bum, tears quickly rushing down his cheeks as he looks out into space like there's something there. He doesn't move or do anything as we call out his name and gently shake his shoulder. Like he can't hear us. Like he can't feel or see us.

My heart starts to ache and clench in my chest as he won't even budge to us talking to or touching him. It feels like someone punching my chest over and over again to every beat my heart makes and I know damn well Andrew feels the same way as me. I feel so bad for being such an ass to his friend, only because he stopped being so clingy for so long. The worst three days of my life, it sucked not being able to be as clingy as I like to be. I'm just glad he didnt deprive me of my cuddles because Everest wouldn't shut the fuck up.

"No no no no! Liz!" Matthew yells out and I look over to Andrew with confusion, his face stuck with the same emotion. This is definitely more than just anxiousness or social anxiety. Something happened in that room that we didnt see or something triggered him so badly that he's like this. Either way, we need to get to the bottom of it.

"Kitten," I say once more but then, like it's going in slow motion, he starts to fall backward so I quickly put my hands under him before his head can hit the ground. I gasp and look up at Andrew, both of us saying the same words.

"Panic Attack!" We start to freak out.

I leave one hand under his neck, moving it so his head rests at the crease of my arm, and put the other arm under his knees, bending them over my arm in bridal style. Andrew and I start to run towards our Pack hospital where our Pack Nurse, Charlotte should be at the moment, also known as the family doctor as well.

Once we get to the building, Andrew opens the door and I rush through with Matthew still out in my arms. As we enter, I immediately start to yell out for Charlotte, a growl in my tone to show urgency. "CHARLOTTE! PLEASE HURRY!" I shout as we dart to the biggest room in the hospital, the family doctor's room.
