Stephen’s POV
After a few hours, as per doctor smith, Aleena’s intestine was cut brutally, and because of wolfsbane in her blood, she was not able to heal. And the worst part was that her internal bleeding was not stopping. I knew what that bastard wanted to say by explaining everything, but I had promised Thunder that if he dared to say those words, then I wouldn’t stop him from ripping his throat.
With each passing second, we were waiting for Ezequiel. I would have asked Eva about his position after every five minutes, but I knew that she was also keeping an update of his location while Daniel took the responsibility of bringing him here safely.
We were thinking all these things when Thunder sensed the vampire’s smell. But there was not just one vampire, but two. Who was the other one? I wondered until my eyes landed on a carbon copy of Eva.
What the hell?
She had a twins sister?
I could see a few of the staff gasping and looking at her in shock. I forget to notice the presence of a man beside her until they finally reach near us. Daniel must have trusted them a lot. Otherwise, no vampire could have reached here with a blindfold and without their ears being closed.
“Mom,” Eva hugged her and started crying.
Mom?
And there I thought that she was her sister.
“Where is the patient?” my mind diverted in the other direction when I heard the other vampire’s voice. He was asking Daniel about Lina.
“She’s inside.”, I replied, pointing toward the ICU.
“Please ask them to stop the operation. I will take it from here.”, he said in a calm and professional tone.
“You sure?” I asked in an unsure tone.
“Yes, Stephen. He is also a doctor by profession. So, don’t worry about your mate.”, Daniel assured me. If he could trust them, then I knew I could also trust them blindly. Just like Ezequiel asked, Eva, asked Doctor Smith to stop the operation and vacant the ICU.
“You can accompany me inside if you want.”, he asked me before going inside. Of course, I would go inside, and there was no way I was going to leave my unmated mate with a stranger. Not that I doubted them, but my possessiveness for mate got the best out of me. When I walked inside the ICU, I saw my mate’s pale face. Her heart beat was too low, and she was struggling to breathe.
“May I?” he asked before touching my mate. In other cases, I would have said a straight NO but not now. Not when I knew he was the savior of my mate.
“Yes, please.”, I responded. Then I watched him placing his hand over her wound. And I saw it was working, and soon her wound started getting healed. I looked up at him to check his status. I observed that using his gift was draining his energy.
‘Daniel, you have arranged the fresh blood, right?’ I asked, knowing that he would know his food after all this.
‘Yes! Don’t worry. Nora will be here with the blood any moment.’, he responded.
‘Great.’
“Done.” I heard Ezequiel’s weak voice while he held the table beside him. He looked like shit now. I looked at my mate, who was now breathing normally. But her eyes were still closed. “I need blood.”, I heard him speaking again.
“Don’t worry, my sister is here with blood.”, I said, sensing Nora’s presence in the hospital. “She will be reaching here any second.”, I added, letting him know that he didn’t have to wait for longer to get the blood. Immediately the door of the ICU was slammed loudly like an insane person. I turned to scold my baby sister, but my voice died in my voice when I heard her speaking.
“MATE.”
It was not Nora but her wolf, Roxy, in control. Her fiery white eye was looking at Ezequiel in concern. “MATE,” She said again. At the same time, Eva, her real mother, and Daniel walked inside the ICU. At the same time, Ezequiel looked like he would pass out any moment if he wouldn’t get blood any moment.
“Ezequiel.” Eva’s mother quickly rushed toward him to hold him before he fell to the ground.
“My mate,” Nora attacked Eva’s mother, thinking of her as a threat. But Eva was quick to come in between and pushed her toward Daniel, and Daniel grabbed her in her arms. “My mate. My mate.”
“Roxy, get control of Nora.”, Daniel said, but she was still wiggling in his arms.
“ROXY, GIVE CONTROL TO NORA.”, Evangeline orders using Alpha tone. Since she had an Alpha Lycan, her aura was enough for any wolf to knelt down in front of her. Even Thunder whimpered in fear. In no time, Nora’s wolf gave control to her, and she looked at everyone and then Ezequiel in concern.
“Nora, dear!! Where is blood?” Clara asked, on which Nora looked clueless.
‘Please don’t tell me that her wolf dropped it somewhere.’, I thought in my mind.
“I… I had blood with me until Roxy took control over my body, sensing our mate in the hospital.”, She responded. No one said a thing to her, at least not now.
I saw Eva’s mother biting her wrist and feeding him her blood.
“This would not be enough. We need more blood for him.”, She said.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I had informed Uncle James to get it as soon as possible. I know; Ezequiel was already exhausted before coming here. It meant a lot that he still came here tonight, or I have lost my sister.”, Eva said.
“Mom? Is she Eva’s mom? Not her twin’s sister?” Nora asked in confusion.
“You better go home now. We will talk to you later about this behavior of your wolf.”, I ordered Nora, on which she looked at me, showing her puppy eyes, which I ignored for a while.
“Big B.”, She tried to convince Daniel.
“Princess, do what Stephen had said,” Daniel said the same thing which I wanted. Looking at her vampire mate for one last time, she left for now. But I knew this topic was not closed yet.
A vampire as a mate?
A big NO to that part.
‘But why?’ Thunder asked. ‘I know they’re our arc enemy, but I don’t think Ezequiel is a bad vampire.’
‘It’s not that I doubt Ezequiel’s intention or character. It’s just that vampires are very strict with their law as long as he or she is a hybrid. You can pick any book or any story of vampire and werewolf as mates. In every story, one of them is killed brutally, and they leave the other one to die in pain. And none of us will want that future for our little princess.’, I explained, on which he reluctantly agreed.
