14. What Is It?

The sunlight was trying to enter the room from the curtains. I woke up with a sore back as I have to sleep the whole night on this hard chair. I mean why couldn't they keep a nice seat in the hospital? The food here's also tasted so bad but it was good that Mia would be bringing breakfast for me and Xavier.

Sitting on the couch which was in the corner, away from the bed, I glanced out from the window. The reason why I didn't sleep on it was, my mate, because what if he wanted something at midnight? That was why I have to be near the bed to help him.

"You good, kiddo?" Sebastian asked as they enter the room. I was staring out from the window and didn't notice the voice of the door being opened. I didn't know why but I felt like it would rain today. I shrugged the thought while smiling at the two of them.

"I'm hungry!" I said and both of them laughed giving me the food they brought. Xavier was still sleeping, so I didn't disturb him, while all three of us ate breakfast together.

*******

The Beta was handling all the important matters as my mate wasn't there and Gemma was helping the Beta. I sat on the couch while looking at the male who was talking to some pack member through the mind link.

Mia and Sebastian were also there. I wanted to tell them what Elena told me the other day but just when I was about to open my mouth for informing them, Xavier woke up.

He has bad timing.

"Ella?" I looked at him who was already staring at me. He licked his dry lips and my wolf of course couldn't stop her dirty thoughts.

'His red, luscious lips would-' My wolf started.

'Yeah definitely not gonna go for a run today.' I said on which she whined but shut up her mouth.

"I want to ask you something."

"What is It?" I said with a raised brow while looking at him with my full focus and my friends in front of us watching.

"Uh...did you ask someone to help and show your vision in my mind? You know when I was unconscious?" I knew what he was talking about. He was asking about when the first time he got a panic attack with a nightmare and the poison in his body. Yeah, a lot at one time, and just because of how powerful he was, he was saved.

"No, I didn't," I told him. It wasn't a total lie, I did show my vision of saving him and hugging him to calm him down but I did it myself not with someone's help.

"Really?" He didn't believe my lie.

"Do you think I'm saying a lie?" Why I was being like this to him? Yeah, I knew everyone was wondering this but I have my reason.

"No, but I just want to make sure." He was being too good. He used his calm and low voice for speaking to me. Why so nice to me? I was feeling bad because I was behaving not at all loving and caring towards him.

"I did-" I was cut off as my vampire friend piped up.

"She didn't take anyone's help." He said while I glared at him.

"Huh?" My mate didn't get what my friend meant.

"Oh, you-" Sebastian again started.

"He means nothing, eat your food it's getting cold," I said to him but seemed like my friends didn't get the indication.

"Come on Ella, you can't keep him in the dark," Mia said, I gave her a death glare but the male looked at me with his cute-confused face.

"What is it? What are you all talking about?" His eyes were narrowed with a cute pout, showing he was curious.

"It's nothing Xavier, please eat." I stood up and took Mia's hand in mine.

"Don't talk about it with him," I ordered Sebastian which surprised him because I have never ordered him. Truth to be told, it stunned me too but I knew what I was doing was right.

"What with all this mood change?" My friend asked me as we walked toward the exit of the hospital.

"Shh," when we both reached a quiet place and I made sure that no one was staring at  us, I said,

"I'm s-sorry for what I did there." It wasn't easy for me to say sorry but I have to.

"Ah....oh....OK." She was amazed as I apologized.

"I can't tell him the truth just now," I stated while she looked at me with a sad face.

"But why? What if someone else will tell him the reality? He will be hurt." I knew that and that was why I would tell him as fast as I could but not now.

"I want to check if he is alright. Is he under some magic or his mother had done something wrong to him? If, not then I will come clean in front of him." I told her, and she looked like she has understood what I was trying to say.

"But will she do something to her son?" She asked.

"She will. She didn't even visit him when he was between life and death. Beta's and Gemma's parents came to meet him but his parents were not there for him when he was in bad condition.

His mum wasn't in the pack, but she came back, took a file, and left even after knowing about her son." Mia was pretty shocked after listening to all this.

"What about his father?" I shrugged as I didn't know about him.

Drip...drip....drip.

Looking up I saw that black clouds have covered the sky, once the bright sky was now dark. I glanced at my friend, and then without a word both of us started running toward the hospital.

I stopped to catch my breath and in front of me was pack house. It still had the same structure as before. I didn't know that I was looking at the building for too long, many people stared at me with questioning looks.

I sighed, couldn't they mind their own business? Some passed me a forced smile when I looked at them, of course, they knew me now as I and Mia have safe many males in the pack.

Not only that but I was sure they knew that I was someone special because they have seen me with Alpha.

Walking inside behind Mia, I didn't know, yet, what a big problem was waiting for me.
