Chapter 26
• Umbrie’s POV •
“Keiran….are you there?” I asked in a shaky breath.
“Yeah.” He replied and I closed my eyes in relief.
“Your mom is actually…she….” I paused and withdrew my phone. I typed a message to him telling him.what the situation was.
“What the heck! I will call Damien.” He yelled throu-ghthe door and I felt delirious as I returned back to the last stall. I stood at the entrance watching her breath weakly and her eyes drifting to close.
I can never imagine a wolf could be this weak, lost and WEAK!
It’s a different kind of for-ce.
“You will be alright, Mrs Diaz.” I muttered soothing her and feeling her soft fur.
She is a beautiful angeline.
I feel her for a few more minutes before I heard a knock at the door. I fear that it is a human who wanted to use the restroom.
How do I stop her from entering? I go ahead anyway and the knock thumps again. I unlocked it, tou-ched the door knob and opened it slowly.
My spirit returned to my body when I saw it was Alpha Damien.
He got here so fast!
He wears a feminine wig before entering the restroom and Keiran is outside guarding the door.
I shut the door and turned the locks.
I rushed back to the stall and see Alpha Damien feeling her heart rate. He takes out a syringe and injects the content into her body. She howls softly and shifted back into her human form. Alpha Damien stepped away while I cover her with her clothes. She is still weak in her human form and is unable to stand.
I help her wear her clothes.
“I bought an ambulance. Go get the door.” He told me after I stepped out from the stall and I do exactly as he said.
I opened the door and the medics enter with a stretcher and they immediately take Mrs Diaz.
“Don’t worry, she will be alright.” Alpha Damien @$$ured me before leaving with them.
I found Keiran leaning by the wall outside and holding his mom’s purse.
“I’ve cleared our bill, let’s go.” He said and i nodded.
We both entered the car we arrived with and it followed the ambulance to the hospital.
I was so worried and scared.
“Thank you for helping her.” He said with a faux smile at me.
I sighed and dropped my head on his shoulder.
“I pray she will be alright. I’m really scared for her. She looked so weak and in a bad shape. Do you think she is too stressed?” I asked wondering what was the cause.
“No, I doubt it. She works and travels a lot but she is not always the one doing all the work, she just gives orders and her employees execute her wishes.” He replied thoughtfully.
“Don’t worry about her, she’s fine. She has all the money in the world to make her feel better.”
“Don’t say that, Keiran. Money can’t buy life. And don’t forget that health is wealth.” I huffed but he doesn’t say anything.
We got to the hospital and alighted together. We found out Mrs Diaz has been taken to the emergency room. Keiran filled some papers and we sat at the waiting area waiting for them to be done.
It was getting towards evening and I texted mom to tell her where I was. She felt bad for Mrs Diaz and hopes nothing bad happens to her.
Keiran and I sat in silence since we really had nothing to say to each other and was curious for Mrs Diaz.
After an hour of waiting, the doctor conducting the surgery stepped out accompanied with alpha Damien.
“How is she?” I asked impatiently.
“She’s unconscious at the moment but she’s out of danger. Although there are certain things we have to tell you about her health but that would be when your father comes.” The doctor said directly at Keiran..
“Okay.” He muttered.
The duo left and I smiled out tears.
I sniffled feeling so happy that she is not in any danger.
If she was in danger, we can’t have Sky heal her because we’ve sworn to keep it a secret unless there was a way it could be done.
“She didn’t have to come to school and get me. To do what? To show me that she is sick? So I can pity her? What if she’s just acting?” Keiran listed angrily.
“That’s enough. Just try to let go off the hate. Don’t accuse her like that, please.”
“Stop being such a peacemaker for God’s sake, Umbrie. It’s so annoying.”
He shoved the purse into my hands and stormed out of the waiting area.
I could feel his frustration and sadness. It’s lur-k-ing behind his stare, his voice and his actions. I just wish I could help him. Although I can feel that way sometimes, but I can fight it and for-ce myself to be happy. There is no one there to sound all annoying and advice me to let go off that hate but i am trying to be there for Keiran because he can’t fight it. Not when he is consumed with it.
I sat there alone until Mrs Diaz was brou-ght out in a bed with wheels. She was connected to so many wires and an oxygen tank as they carted her off to her private ward. I followed them in. A nurse brou-ght in three hu-ge bouquets of flowers.
“Who se-nt them?” I questioned surprised.
“It’s her husband. He’s not in the country but he is on his way. This is to cheer his wife up.” She replied cheerfully as she places the bouquets around in different places.
“Can you help me get a fruit basket? It’s right downstairs.” She asked and I agreed. I dropped the purse on the side drawer before leaving with her.
We got the baskets and dropped them on the table in the ward.
“Thank you for helping me. I am Ellen, Mrs Diaz’s private nurse. I will stay with her all day long and keep her company.” She introduced.
Wow.
“I’m Umbrie. I will be leaving now. Please, take good care of her.”
“I will. Goodbye now.” She bid and I exit the room.
I took the elevator to the ground floor and there was so many people around. Luckily, I found Keiran outside, sitting on one of the benches and gazing at the floor.
I joined him and sat beside him.
With a calm voice, I asked him; “Your mother risked being seen in public in her wolf form and you still think she is faking her sickness?”
“I suppose not, now that I think about it. I hated it.” He answered with a hint of frustration.
“Are you going to stay here with her?”
“No. Just go home, Umbrie.”
“I know, I’m going. I will get out of your hair.” I jibed before i ruefully got off the chair and left the hospital premises. I got into the first taxi I saw and it took off instantly.
I was almost sleeping off in the taxi when the driver honked his car severely. I startled awake, paid for the lift and headed into the house.
It’s getting gloomy outside and everyone must be home by now. I heard mom’s voice yelling from upstairs. I ran towards the chatter and sp-otted mom and dad with Sky.
“….You have to be more careful, Sky! How many times would we warn you against using your power on anyone else? Mostly humans! It’s too dangerous.” Mom rasped.
My heart skipped.
Sky used his powers on a human?
What the hell…
“It was a mistake, mommy. I didn’t know when I…” Sky sniffed with teary eyes.
“You have to control it next time, Sky.” My father said patting his back.
I cleared my throat. “I’m home.”
Mom’s head snapped at me and she looked visibly angry.
“And you! You keep on wasting your time with the Diaz family, fooling around. You let yourself be influenced this way! You are never around to help in this household. I wonder what will happen when you become a warrior. You will abandon your duties here and live at the pack house, won’t you?!” She yelled.
“No. I…” I couldn’t speak as she brushed past me furiously.
Dad got up and walked towards me.
“This must be her time of the month.” Dad whispered to me before leaving.
I ran to Sky and hu-gged him ti-ghtly, comforting him from crying.
“Did anybody find out you healed your cl@$$mate?” I asked him against his hair.
“No. Only mom knows.” He sobbed.
“Don’t be sad. She’s just stressed. You did nothing wrong, okay?” I cooed and he looked at me with his hu-ge we-t eyes.
“Okay.” He replied and wiped off his tears.
We spent the night doing his homework together and then watching a movie together. Jared came home and joined us but right after that, he went to bed but I stayed with Sky.
I wish there was a way we can protect him. He’s just too young to face this pressure of controlling himself at all times.
I received a message while I was strolling throu-ghsocial media, it was a text from the unknown number Louis called me with the other day. I tapped on it and it opened on the screen.
HAVE YOU FIGURED OUT WHO THE TRAITOR IS YET?
Conniption gripped me for a second. It kept looking like he was planning something or more like, expecting something to go down because he really wouldn’t be bothering me again about who sold us off.
