Chapter 18

Third Person’s POV

“What happened!” Aziz asked, holding Carter in his collar as he pinned him to the wall.

“Stop it, we should think about Mica first,” Hera said, holding her brother in his arms and making him let go of his gamma. He sighed and looked at the doctor,

“Alpha, we need to get the venom out of her system.”

“How long has she been like that?” Aziz asked, and the doctor looked at Carter. He knew how close they were, but thinking his alpha did that to him, he was worried about his reply.

“More than an hour, Alpha,” Lottie replied to the doctor as she saw fear in his eyes.

“Shit!” he exclaimed and got inside the emergency room and found Mica writhing in pain as she held her neck. “Why didn’t you give her something to take the pain away?’”

“We already did, but it didn’t affect us much longer.” the doctor replied, “And we can’t just inject her with that to avoid overdosing,” he added.

“Everyone, get out!” Aziz commanded and so they did. “Mica..” he called to her, but she just ignored her. She even shoved his hand away, and didn't want him to touch her. “Mica, please let me. Just this once,” he said, but she kept on pushing him away as she continued screaming.

“Go away. Ahhh. I don’t need you!!” she said, in between screams. Aziz didn’t have a choice but to pin her on the bed while holding both her hands on top of her while his other hand was keeping her head steady.

Mica couldn’t move as Aziz's body was almost on top of her, preventing her from making unnecessary movements. Then, without a warning, he bit her right where the vampire's bite was.

It was painful for Mica since Aziz had to suck out the venom that was already inside her body. There were purple veins already visible on her neck and Aziz had started to worry. After a while, Mica quieted down as he slowly retracted his fangs. They were looking at each other as she slowly closed her eyes.

Aziz sighed in relief after he saw Mica relax and fell asleep, but he was still angry at her for rejecting her. He went out of the hospital room after her breathing became even. “She’s fine, now.” He said when Hera and the others approached him. He glared at Carter and said, “To my office.” his gamma nodded and followed him out of the hospital as his sister and Lottie were worried.

In the pack house…

“What was that, Carter? I told you that it's not a good idea!” Aziz said angrily.

“But she likes to go,” Carter replied,

“And you are talking back now?” Aziz asked with sharp eyes.

“Alpha, you know that he is a gamma and he is supposed to be devoted to Luna,” Reeves said, trying to calm and reason out to him. Since Carter knew that Mica was his Luna, the bond between Gamma and Luna was formed.

“What if she tried to tell him to let her escape, would he do that as well?” Aziz asked angrily and Carter just had her head down. “Reeves, from now on, you will be looking after Mica. I’ll bring him along instead,” he added, pointing at his gamma.

Reeves gave Carter the “try to understand look”, so he nodded. He knew that he had no say on the matter since Mica had been in danger under his watch. He also knew that Aziz was much more worried than he was.

“I’m sorry about this,” Carter said apologetically. Aziz sighed and nodded his head. “Did you find one of your sisters?” he asked.

“No,” Aziz replied, shaking his head. “But there are still a few warriors left in the Crimson Pack and they will all be back in a week. I guess we will have to visit them again,” he added.

“And the warrior?”

“Don’t ask. I already had a headache because of her.”

“She’s back to her pack and Aziz requests her Alpha to punish her, but I don’t think he will do that. She seemed close to the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack.” Reeves informed him.

“Will Luna be fine?” Carter asked again,

“She should be. I took out all the venom.”

“It was a good thing that you learned how to do that,” Reeves commented.

“Hera wanted to try but she said she was not confident. She was scared that once she tasted her blood, she would lose control.” Carter informed them.

“She learned to control herself, maybe when it came to Mica she was cautious. You know she didn’t want to harm her. I don’t know but my sister was fond of her.”

“Maybe because of Luna’s past.”

“What about it? Reeves asked curiously as Aziz looked at him as well.

“Lottie told me that she was broken and was trying to fix herself. Even if she didn’t like us, I mean our kind, she still found a fortress here since her stepfather won’t be able to find her here. I guess she ran away and didn’t want to be found.” Carter explained.

“Yeah, I heard that from Lottie too. But why can’t she tell us what really happened to Luna?” Reeves asked again,

“She said it’s for Luna to tell and anyone in her position will never tell the world about it.”

“It must be something traumatic,” Aziz said. “Anyway, when she’s better, send her back to the quarters and let her do her daily duties.”

“Alpha!” the two exclaimed,

“Can’t you just do as I said?” Reeves and Carter looked down because of the tone he used to them. They were friends, so they used to talk casually. “Just do as I say, please,” Aziz added, and they both nodded. They won’t be able to do anything when he has decided on something.

“Just after I found my sister in the Blue Moon Pack, then I am going to transfer her to the room next to Hera. For now, let me do things my way.” Aziz told them.

“OK, Alpha.” They both replied and left his office. Reeves went to the hospital to see Mica who was still sleeping and found Hera and Lottie still there, looking after her.

“Carter is off duty now?” Hera asked,

“We exchanged duties, to be exact.”

“He didn’t hurt his Gamma, didn’t he?” Lottie was looking at them. She knew that as mates, her Alpha felt what Mica had been through and thinking Carter failed to do his duty, she thought that Aziz must be very disappointed.

“He didn’t. You know we’re friends too. Though he was really angry. He didn’t want the idea of her leaving the pack but he insisted, so he had to make sure that she was safe. That’s what Alpha was mad about.” Reeves replied. “It’s late, you can go home and I am going to take care of everything here,” he added.

Hera and Lottie left after an hour and Reeves made himself comfortable on the couch. In the middle of the night, he was woken up by a loud scream.
