Chapter 19
Rubby held Chelse's hand tightly, praying quietly. The news about David who has woken up had spread around the pack but Chelse has not woken up yet and that was starting to scare everyone including the elder that prepared the antidotes and all other maids.
But no one was as scared as Rubby, the thought of losing a friend she abandoned for weeks and had not even apologized to her made her tremble.
For minutes, she was in her own word praying for Chelse's healing.
"I don't get why she's not waking up" the elder himself seems confused, it was rather strange.
She should have woken up before David if there was really a connection between them.
Everyone started to have a second thought.
Maybe they brought the wrong person as David's mate or maybe there was more to them just drinking antidote. Perhaps they had to some ritual or something.
Hearing everyone's thoughts on this, Rubby almost bursted out crying
What if they are right, if Chelse is not David's mate then Chelse might really end up dieing.
She sobs quietly after deciding to turn a deaf ear to what the others were saying.
Suddenly, Chelse's warm hand were gripped tighter with hers and that made her tilt up her hand.
Her joy knew no bound when she saw Chelse's eyes opened, smiling.
"This soft and cold hand is Rubby's, right?" Was her first word when she woke up.
Rubby giggled silently and a hugged her tightly even though she was still laying on the bed and that made Chelse request for a chance to breath.
"Oh sorry" she disengage the hug and waiting for Chelse to sit up before hugging her tight again.
There was a smile plastered across the face of all the werewolves who were watching. It was indeed a beautiful sight between two friends.
Ever since she joined the pack, no one really talked to Rubby that much since she was their Alpha's Luna. She might appear physically to them as a maid but deep down they know they still have to give her some respect.
Their awkward attitude towards Rubby made her uncomfortable and she tries so many times to make them comfortable with her.
The only one isn't awkward or uncomfortable around her is Fransisca as she still sees her as one of the new werewolves she has to train to do some chores just like she has been training others.
"I am glad you are alive. Thank you so much for staying alive, Chelse!" She sniffed back the tears which had gathered in her eyes.
The whispering among the other werewolves caught their attentions as Rubby turned her head to see what was going on.
The room was now empty as all the werewolves had disappeared and just David and Silver were in
It was not a surprise to see David being supported to the room by Silver himself.
This must have made the werewolves surprised as it was shocking to see Silver care for someone that dearly.
David must have taken the antidote and look all okay now but he still needed strength to be on his own. It's just like patients who are just recovering from a particular sickness in the hospital.
"Is he here?" Chelse asked, referring to the he as David .
Rubby replied, "Yeah".
But then Chelse's face flushed in and her expression turned pale like she was worried about something.
"What's her name?" David asked Silver with a whisper
"Her name is chelse" Silver replied "We will leave you two alone so be nice to her" he whispered into his ears and helped him to sit on the bed before finally releasing him.
As he turned to leave, he glanced at Rubby who understood what the glance meant immediately.
In few minutes, it was just David and Chelse in the room. It was so awkward between them as they couldn't have a proper conversation.
"Hi" Chelse smiled faintly. It was her first time meeting with her mate and she had no idea they had such a deep connection.
She couldn't see him, but she feel his presence and his scent and from now on she would be able to recognize him by his scent.
"Ugh...so, how are you feeling now?" David scratch the back of his neck nervously
"I feel better now, what about you?"
"I also feel better now" he giggled nervously and gulped.
For the next few minutes, there was a long silence ,one could hear a pin drop.
"Well.... It's so nice meeting you, I'm David" he introduced himself
"Sweet. I am Chelse" Chelse replied, "By the way, are you close to the Alpha of this pack?"
"Yeah" David replied with a nod "I am his Beta"
"Cool" Chelse could feel herself blushing. She couldn't see him but she could feel his gaze on her.
It may be their first time meeting but there is something she is certain of and that is the fact that she LIKES him.
"Actually..." She cleared her throat "I want to apologize to you about all that happened in the past few days. It is my fault for consuming wolfsbane and putting your life at risk. At least if I wanted to die, I could just die alone".
"Why are you apologizing? I don't know what happened but I am pretty sure you didn't consume wolfsbane on purpose". He said and slowly moved closer to her "Your eyes are pretty"
"Ugh" Chelse giggled again "Thanks"
"But, what happened? Why are you...."
"Why am I blind?" Chelse completed the sentence like she could read his mind.
"I am sorry, don't take it the wrong way, I just... I just wanna know and that is all" David was quick to clear any misunderstanding that could arise between them.
"It's okay to be curious" Chelse sighed "I was born like that"
"Oh, I am sorry" David said with sympathy in his voice.
Rubby and silver stood by the door eavesdropping even though they didn't mean to. They just couldn't help it. Rubby knew how happy she was at the moment and could relate to how happy chelse would also be.
David was acting like a perfect gentleman at the moment.
She glanced at Silver and rolled her eyes in disappointment.
She can never relate.
"What was that?" Silver asked with his brow furrowed.
"It's nothing" She replied, dispirited. Of course she wished she can also have a cool and nice conversation with him, not the one they have and end up saying hurtful words to each other at the end of the day.
Silver closed the door properly and took a deep and satisfactory breathe before turning to look at Rubby whose gaze was already fixed on him.
"I am going to bed now, get me the usual" he turned and walked down the hall without caring to know if Rubby had something to say or not.
Just like she has been doing for the past few weeks, Rubby put a bottle of non-alcoholic wine on a tray and put beside it a glass cup.
She took a deep frustrating sigh before heading to Silver's room. Until how long does she have to keep acting as a maid when she deserves a better title?
Even the other werewolves are awkward around her, it is suffocating and annoying.
She wished she can just beat some sense to his head.
But who was she dealing with here?
It's Silver, the most known and powerful Alpha in the whole of Miami. Even his twin brother is no match to him, so who is she to hit the shit out of him.
She bowed slightly when she saw an elder coming her way, it was the same elder that prepared the antidote for David and Chelse.
He is one of Silver's best adviser so just like the remaining elders so he is to be respected no matter what.
"You are not as weak as you think" the elder said in his shaky tone which shows he was extremely old.
The statement made her lift her head as she arched her brow
"What are you talking about?"
"You are just like this because you are not in your right position. If you continue like this, your weakness may cause more harms than expected" The elder said in a warning tone and walked away, refusing to answer Rubby who was calling after him to ask him questions.
She had a lot of questions to ask him but he seems like those scary people that just say prophesy and leave so she just let him be.
It is up to her to find out the meaning of his words.
She shook it off as she finally got to Silver's room, she twisted the knob and entered the room without knocking this time.
She was already frustrated and tired so much that she felt too heavy to knock.
"You got here late" Silver said, the corner of his lips moved up as a smirk appeared on his face "You should get punished for that".
