Chapter 86
Damien

Her words make me so scared, I hurriedly scoop her off the ground and literally run upstairs since we are in the underground parking lot. Using the elevator feels like I will be wasting more time.

“Try to breathe my love please.” I cry as I see it's so hard for her. What's happening, she was okay just a while ago. Her body is so hot. Third floor seems so far.

“Don't close your eyes my love please.” I beg her. She tries so hard to keep them open. All this time she is holding my jacket so tightly, I can tell she is afraid.

“Don't be afraid my love I'm here for you, I will not let anything bad happen to you okay love.” I say, trying so hard not to break down. Seeing her like this is breaking me. I wish I could be the one suffering like this, not her. Not my mate.

I sprint towards the clinic entrance, it's nearer I couldn't rush her to the hospital. she is losing consciousness, oh goddess please don't let anything bad happen to her.

“Ruby please.” I beg, looking at her tiny face which is so pale now. She rests her head limply on my chest closing her eyes slowly.

“I told you not to close your eyes, my love please.” I say in a higher tone, but she doesn't open them. “Anyone there.” I call out with all my might. The clinic hall seems abandoned. What's going on.

“I need help, darn it.” I shout even louder. Two doctors, a male and female stride out of some room looking all messy. The male doctor has his lab coat misbuttoned and the female on has her hair all messy. Were they hooking up at work, they will surely pay for this.

“What happened to her.” The doctors ask whisking her away from me as he lays her on the stretcher. I explain to him in detail as I follow him through the corridor.

“Wait here sir.” The doctor says as they disappear to the end of the corridor leaving me stranded. I want to follow them but they quickly close the door behind them.

I stand helpless, a sense of helplessness washing over me. What might be wrong with her. I rest my back on the adjacent wall and slide to the floor, my heart beating so fast, my wolf in panic. That's when I remember Rowan and Owen. I reach for my phone inside my pocket and dial Owen's number. He picks up immediately.

“Is Ruby okay, is she ready to speak to me?” He asks before I can speak. I pause for a while weighing my words.

“Speak up Damien.” He says in a desperate tone. “Please.” He adds.

“Say something Damien.” It's Rowan's voice now, I guess he took the phone from Owen.

“Put it on loudspeaker.” I hear Owen instructing Rowan in the background.

“How?” Rowan asks, I almost laugh he is so clueless.

“Like this man.” Owen says.

“Ooh.” He chuckles nervously.

“OK Damien, you are on speaker now.” Rowan says, the anticipation is evident in his tone. “Please tell us we have been so uneasy ever since you left with her, we wanted to call you, but then you beat us to it. Please tell us, how is our mate.” He asks, this is the most polite I've heard Rowan speaking.

“Not good, she is not good.” I break down into tears.

“What, where are you, what happened speak up Damien.” Owen demands.

“She is very ill, I brought her to the pack clinic …” before I can even finish, Owen and Rowan appear before me.

“Where is she, where is Ruby?” Owen asks in an impatient tone.

“Where is she.” Rowan asks, squatting next to me. I just point to the direction they took her. Owen rushes to the side buy comes back immediately.

“The door is locked.” He says pacing up and down. Rowan sits next to me.

“What happened.” He asks.

“She fell ill all of a sudden.” I say.

“Is it serous?” He asks calmly. I nod, tears flowing freely down my face. “She lost consciousness.” I add between my trembling tone. Why does she have to suffer all the time?

“Pull yourself together, she will be fine, Ruby is a fighter.” Rowan says, I can feel the worry behind his calm tone, though. He is trying to be strong for all of us. Something bitter seems to be choking me by my throat, so I cry even harder. I don't want to lose my mate like this.

After what seems like a lifetime, the door swings open. The male doctor approaches us. I don't even have the strength to stand up.

“How is she?” Rowan asks.

“She is absolutely fine, she just needs some rest first, then we will talk later in my office.” He informs us.

“Can we see her?" We ask in unison. This always seems to be our behavior at times. It always baffles me how we speak at a go sometimes.

“Not now gentlemen, maybe in an hour or two. Let her get some rest, she has been sedated.” He explains and walks away.

The two hours are like torture to us. He could have just let us see her, even If it was just for a moment.

“You can see her now, gentlemen.” The doctor comes back. I get up in a hurry, rushing behind him. Rowan and Owen and behind me as well.

An empty bed greets us the moment we enter the tiny room. Maybe she went to the ladies room.

“Where is she?” Owen is the first to ask.

“She was right here a moment ago.” The doctor says in panic. “Wait a moment.” He rushes outside, coming back with the nurse.

“Where is the patient.” He asks.

“She was here, doctor.” She answers looking clueless.

“Where is she then? Please don't make us repeat ourselves again because you would not like it." Rowan warns in a low tone. I don't know what to say, I'm trembling from the inside out, I can't stop thinking that something bad has happened to her. I can't shake that feeling off. Something is definitely wrong.

“I swear I just stepped out to bring a blanket for her, I was with her all this while.” The nurse clarifies. Owen has his fists clenched.

“Where could she have gone then, please check the restroom?" The doctor instructs. She comes back almost immediately with a blue robe in her arms.

“I didn't find her, I only found this.” She hands it to Rowan. “She had this on, I found it lying in the bathroom. It's like she left the hospital. She even took her clothes with her.” The nurse explains.

“There is no way she left alone. The sedative was quite strong.” the doctor explains. "She couldn't even get up from the bed." He adds making me feel chills all over my body.

“Someone took her.” Owen finally speaks making us even more worried. "Someone took her, I can smell someones scent other than us. Are there any security cameras here?" Owen asks between his teeth.

"I'm going to kill the person who did that I swear." He adds.

"Yes but only in the hallway." The doctor answers.

We slowly follow him., all this time I am wishing this is some kind of prank. I want to see her walking in through that door. Her beautiful smile plastered on her face.
