Chapter 40 Broken Future.
Chapter 40
Jax's POV
“What do you mean by that?” The word shot out of my mouth like a dagger. I squeezed my brows together so much that they almost hurt.
“Can you explain that to me!”
I couldn't press down the anger brewing through me directed to the healer standing in front me.
He was a tall, handsome, muscular wolf with broad shoulders. His voice, thick unlike any kind of healer I have ever set my eyes on, deep like a thunderstorm.
He stood in front of me, looking at me with those calm eyes.
“It's a healing term that may be difficult to explain, but the only way I can explain it to your understanding…”
He paused a bit, his eyes dropping down to the brown file in his big hand. Paper rustled. His large fingers flipped over the pages. His eyes quickly read through what was written in the papers.
My heart, thumping. My breathing spiked.
“...the internal organ of your woman has been completely destroyed, though there will be room for sex…” His words fell into my ears like heavy stones thrown into the deep.
“… but it would take a miracle and intervention of the moon goddess…”
“It's ok!" I shouted at the top of my voice, cutting him short and slicing my hand through the air. It's like he is becoming an agent of bad news. Bringing sadness and worry at the same time.
I went back to the edge of the bed where Rosa lay in frustration. Clear liquid dripped slowly, hanging on one of the bed frames.
My fingers found her soft hair, brushing it back and tucking the strands of hair behind one of her ears.
The drip hose snaked under her nose. Allowing transparent fluid to pass through it. I kissed her forehead. She really needs me now. Especially, how do I explain to someone that Rosa and I had the same dream at the same time?
How?
How do I explain that I have not touched Rosa for months since I became alpha king of my pack? But I decided to touch her last night due to the advice given to me by Alpha Vexhood to weaken the strong mating bond I had with Mila, which led to this?
Or is it right to say that the gods are not happy with me and Rosa having sex?
Rosa was also surprised that I asked for sex immediately after returning from Alpha Vexhood's house.
I roughened my hair in frustration. My mind couldn't put the pieces together. It felt like it was exploding.
Behind me stood the healer. I thought he had gone, but another thought still reminded me that he was around, because I could not hear the sound of the door shut behind us.
Then he cleared his throat. “I am so sorry, my lord.” The healer paused a bit. “Sometimes, this type of story is very difficult to bear, especially if it is not only one but two bonded mates.”
I stiffened my body in a moment, then turned slowly to him.
“What do you mean by that, healer…” I tried to check his name. Maybe it would be clipped to his chest or somewhere visible to help me out.
It was like he had a lot of bad news for me today, and he is carefully taking his time to give it to me carefully in doses.
“…Firkley, your highness.” He quickly helped me out.
He put up a grin and then spoke, “Did I forget to tell you that the test we ran on you too, it was … somehow?”
He raised his shoulders, then spoke again. This calmly, just like the way he broke the first news. It was like he had been trained to use his thick voice for specific moments.
“What do you mean it was ‘somehow’?”
He breathed out heavily. I watched with fear how his lips vibrated before he would say anything. Even his face has betrayed his lips in telling me the kind of message that is coming out from those lips.
“You are impotent, my lord, so you may hardly father a pup.”
The specter in my hand fell. I stood from the edge of the bed I sat on and drifted close to him.
I jerked the collar of his overall closer. I didn't even bother if he is taller and heavier than me. If he would throw me into the wind with his muscular hands and no one would find me again.
I looked at him in anger. I wanted him to finish dishing out his bad news.
“But the good news is that …”
He paused a bit, looking at my reaction. He thought my reaction had not given my anger out. But behind those eyes, intense anger lies there.
“You can have erections, but fathering a pup…”
He paused a bit. ”...that would be in the hands of the moon goddess.”
I drifted towards him and locked up his collar. locking my eyes into his as if he should say this is a joke or just give me something.
Are you fucking insane?”
“No, my lord…”
I had to release his collar, which had been wrinkled because I had been gripping it because my life depended on it.
“I am sorry, my lord,” he uttered sympathetically. “I will have to leave you to attend to something very urgent.”
He paused for a moment before saying, "You will be put on some medication.” He gave me a quick wink and shrugged. “It will really help your fertility."
“Get out of here now!” I fumed, just … Just get out; I hate to see your face.”
I stepped closer to him again, as I gritted my teeth, "You know what I am seeing in front of m
e? Nothing but a sharer of bad news."
"I am sorry, your highness, I will have to go now."
