Mason’s P.O.V.I don’t know how she does it, but she had too much power over me; her touch had such control over me that it could make or break me within a second. It scared me a lot, but I would never accept it to her face because call me a douche bag but I just didn’t want her to feel superior over me and also because somewhere in my heart, I knew that she already has a pretty much good idea about what she does to me.
I am busy relaxing my fury with every inhale of her blissful scent when I feel her loosen her arms around me as she moves away, washing her eyes once over me to confirm that I’m fine and when she is sure about it she asks, “Where is she?”
She?
I look at her with confusion etched on my face as I as, “She?” She nods at my question and I continue, “I thought you were here to interrogate him.” She nods again which does not help with my questions as I narrow my eyes to look at her suspiciously as I question again, “Then why do you want to see her?”
She finally brings me out of misery as she clears all my doubts by saying, “I will interrogate him” she pauses a little before continuing, “but only after I’m done with her.”
“What do you mean by, after you’re done with her?” This question was something that I was about to ask, but the person who asks her isn’t me like she was expecting from. I turn to look at the person to whom the voice belongs and I’m not so surprised to see Aiden standing behind me. I see her, give him a small smile which he instantly returns, and she softens a little at his genuine smile as she answers, “I’d like to see the girl first, I think I could be of some help.”
Can she really help?
I look at her, a little perplexed at her statement just as much as Aiden, I know what he is thinking because I’m thinking the same thing. We have the best of the healers and doctors in our pack, yet they couldn’t be of much help; but Bella who is a Warrior head of her pack thinks that she could help the girl, how? I notice that she has her eyes fixed on my face as she tries to analyze my thoughts, I bring her out of her misery as I ask, “How?” she chuckles at my question as I see something dancing in her eyes, I wonder if it’s excitement about something that only she knows and I don’t. Before she could say anything, I speak again, “I don’t mean it in a rude way baby, I’m just curious; because I have the best of them all here in my pack and yet none of them could help heal her. Her flesh is burned too badly, and the wounds are infested with traces of some chemical that was mixed with the acid, that is making it difficult for the wounds to heal. The doctors as well as the healers aren’t of much help either, that’s why I’m just curious about what you have in mind.”
She nods as she agrees with me and then says, “A try won’t harm Mason, she is in pain so we need all the help that we could get to heal her. After all, she is a member of our pack and that makes her family.”
Did she just say OUR PACK?
“God Woman. You drive me crazy” is what I mumble as soon as her words descend on my ears drums. She instantly looks at me with one eyebrow raised as she doesn’t realize what she just said. I grab her by the waist as I pull her close and whisper, “You addressed my pack as OUR PACK; do you have any idea what that does to me?” I pull her further into me as I rub my erection against her lower stomach as she inhales a sharp breath due to the contact between us; I can see the blush rising up and I’m about to say something witty when I hear someone clear their throat a little to loudly for my liking.
I loosen my grip a little too pissed at the person and turn to look at them when I realize that it’s my mother who has been standing here this whole time watching everything unfold before her own eyes. My eyes instantly widen at her expression as she looks a little embarrassed about our interaction, I mouth a sorry to her as she nods and tells Bella, “Thank you for accepting his pack like your own sweetie, this means a lot to me and everyone else; being the future Luna, this is exactly what everyone needs to see in you.”
Bella gives my Mom a faint smile as she says, “Don’t worry Mom, I won’t let you down.”
Did he just call her MOM?
I can’t help the gasp that leaves my lips as I mumble, “God, she is trying to kill me today.” I feel Bella shake a little and when I tilt my face a little to see her face, I realize that she wasn’t just shaking, but she was shaking with laughter.
The nerve of this woman.
We are in our own bubble, when Blake comes running from the back door as he shouts, “Mason, the girl, she is turning paler by every passing minute. No one knows what to do.” His words bring me back into action as I grab Bella’s hand and pull her towards the back door, to get to the hospital. She doesn’t even flinch at my hold and the exact moment Matt’s and Ryan’s words start flooding my mind, about how she is stronger that Matt or how ruthless she is while killing someone; these thoughts made a shudder pass through me.
Once we reached the lift at the end of the passage, I loosened my grip as I inform her, “She doesn’t look good baby. So, if you are unable to help her, please don’t get upset about it and if at any point you feel uncomfortable, let me know.”
She nods at my words and she clears her throat for the same, I don’t know why but I have a feeling that whatever she has to say is totally going to blow me up. My thoughts are confirmed when she informs or warns, “Whatever I’m going to show you or whatever you see tonight, promise me you won’t freak out. Also, once everything is over, I’ll tell you all of it in detail.”
I don’t know how to answer to it, so I end up replying with an “Okay” and soon enough we are standing in front of a door which opens to reveal a big operating room. The door opens to a bed which sits in between, with two curtains on both the sides; the right side has an operating table whereas the left side has a big tub filled with milk. The girl is settled in the tub, sliding in and out of milk as loud roars fill the room every time, she slides into the tub to cover her face and then comes back up for some air.
In the exact next moment, I see Bella shrug me of as she runs towards the girl and examines her wounds; her wounds are deep and are oozing with water or infected liquid which isn’t allowing it to heal like usual. She grabs the her hand which makes the girl turn around to look at her, the wounds on her face are huge and look painful as the victim growls in pain due to the air touching it. Bella places her hand on her head as she blows on the girl’s face. Within a minute, the girl goes unconscious and her body slacks in the tub; I hear Bella command orders with so much authority as she says, “I want you to take her to the operating table” she then turns towards me to inform, “Her wounds are infested with Wolfsbane.”
I’m about to deny her statement when I hear our pack doctor say, “It’s not possible. I checked it myself.” She smiles at his words as she shuffles a little and says, “Of course you did, I’m not denying your results; but the problem here is that, the type of Wolfsbane she is infected with is made from an extract of a plant which is further modified and converted into Wolfsbane. This makes it next to impossible for anyone to recognize it.”
I am astounded by her words, but I compose myself as I ask, “How do you know about it?” She looks down and then tilts her head to look back at me as she says, “Ava was injected with the same type of Wolfsbane” She pauses a little and then continues, “And also because…”
“Because…?” I ask her.
She takes in a deep breath, before running her hands through her hair as she says, “I’ve to show you something. Just promise me that you won’t freak out.” I nod at her request as I ask, “What do you want to show me?”
She lets out a loud sigh as she raises her hand to gesture me to wait here while she makes her way out of the room. The next few minutes are followed by silence as I patiently wait for her to come back, but instead of her, a large wolf with fur that is as white as snow and beautiful golden eyes walks in with so much pride yet concern dancing in its eyes, as it makes its way to us. The moment our eyes meet is the moment I realize; it's her.
She is the one.
She is the MYSTIQUE Wolf.
