Isabella’s P.O.V.Shock!
It could be clearly seen in his eyes as he stared at me open mouthed, he was beyond surprised as he just gawked at me. I knew he had a thousand questions running through his mind and since we weren’t mated YET, I couldn’t just mind-link him about it, so I sauntered to him and rubbed my head to his right hand, just so that I could get some kind of skin to skin; well in my case, skin to fur contact between us. And as soon as it happened, he was brought back from the stance he was in; he looked at me as he bends a little to settle on his knees and caressed both his hands through my fur, stopping at my ears.
I could hear his thoughts which were, as expected, running a marathon through his mind; I nuzzled my head in his palm a little as I said, “Breathe” Suddenly like something snaps in him, he stiffens which causes his hand movements to stop followed by this thoughts, it’s like there’s total silence up there all of a sudden. He does not say anything, so I speak again, “Look at me, I’m still the same Bella. Your Bella and I want you to take a deep breath and calm down a little. You think, you could do that for me?”
He nods as his hand movements start again making me purr a little, I hear him chuckle at the noise that escapes my mouth. I’m about to say something when I hear him through the mind-link, “Did the almighty wolf just purr? That was adorable baby.”
“Dear Goddess, I’m so embarrassed; stop laughing jerk” I say as I see him laugh a little at my misery, he shakes his head at my words; he is about to ask me something when we hear a loud gasp followed by, “You found the sacred wolf? How? When? I just met you like ten minutes ago son” The voice had us all hooked to it due to the shock and authority attached to it, I turn a little to look at his Dad, who has an awkward looking Mom standing behind him with almost the same amount of shock clearly evident on her face just like him.
I turn back to look at Mason as I tell him, “Tell them that you’ll explain everything to them, once we are done.” He nods as he informs the same to them, Dad looks annoyed at his words as he huffs a little and in that exact moment something clicks in Mom’s brain as she asks, “Where is Bella?” Mason instantly snaps his eyes at me and its like everything falls in place when we hear his Mom shout, “Oh my Goddess, She…” she says points at me, then she points at Mason as she says, “Her…” she again points me as she continues, “She’s Her… She is the…” as she looks between me and Mason, Dad is still pretty much oblivious of the thing she is talking about.
Mason answers with “Yes mom. You pieced it right” while looking at his Mom, his Dad looks between his wife and son as he tries to understand what’s going on and he finally asks, “Will someone tell me what’s going on over here?”
Mom shakes her head as she mumbles, “Sometimes I wonder how you were able to handle the duties of an Alpha for our pack, Your so IGNORANT James.”
“Whoa woman. I’m not IGNORANT!” answers Dad, looking a little offended at her words, I hear Mason chuckle as he mind links me saying, “I hope we don’t end up like them in the future.” I can’t help the warmth spreading in my body at his words, thank the goddess that I’m not in my human form and he can’t see the blush or else I won’t be able to face him. My thoughts of being discreet flow out of the window when I hear his voice as he informs, “I can feel the warmth baby, I know you’re blushing mentally.”
“Pfff. What do you mean blushing mentally, there’s no such thing like that Mason” he chuckles at my statement, I’m about to give him a piece of my mind, when I hear someone clear their throat, grabbing my attention towards him. I realize my stupid mistake as I feel guilty for being trapped in my own world, to cry out loud as I left the girl in pain for Goddess knows how many minutes.
I start walking towards the girl who is lying on the operating table, once in front of her, I start by licking of her smaller wounds that are on her hands and neck. Licking them off, I feel the slight tinge of Wolfsbane on my tongue; the thought that Wolfsbane does not affect me like it does to other wolves bothers me a lot and gets me curious at the same time. I mean, I get it that I’m some special wolf, but I’m still a wolf and a wolf is supposed to be harmed by Wolfsbane; unlike me, who doesn’t even wince due to its poisonous nature.
I’m almost done when I hear a few numbers of loud gasps directed from all the different direction at the same time and I don’t even bother to turn and look at them as I know that those were all directed towards the healing wounds. It obviously isn’t the first time I’m hearing them, happens a lot to me.
I check once over to see that her neck and hands are good as new with only a few marks visible on her neck region. I nod towards Mason to get him to walk to me and as soon as he comes near, he places his hand on my back, feeling his touch I tell him, “Ask someone to get a bowl of milk and three Moon flowers, you know the ones known as tropical white morning glory?”
“The one’s that bloom at night?” he asks, “Exactly, those one’s. I hope you have those in your garden, because I need those, three of those to be precise” I inform him. He nods and I see his eyes fog a little which makes me aware that he might be mind-linking someone. Once he is done with it, he asks me, “What are you going to do?”
I smile a little as I tell him, “I need someone to crush the flowers with a little bit of milk, until it forms a thick paste.”
“Okay” he says as he turns towards his Mom and asks, “Mom could you do us a favor?” She nods frantically as she says, “Yes, I’ll do anything except for leaving this room” Mason chuckles at his Mom’s words as she asks, “So what is it?”
In the exact minute, Blake enters the room with three Moon Flowers, in his hands as he asks, “What are these for?” Mason takes it from his hand and places it in his mother’s hand as he says, “I want you to crush them with some milk in a mortar and pestle to form it into a thick paste, can you do that please?”
She nods as she turns around to walk away somewhere to get the work done. By the time she is doing that, I inform Mason to get a few more things done, I nod towards the doctor while saying, “Tell him that he has to apply the paste on her facial wounds and cover it up like he would after a plastic surgery.”
Mason does as he is told and soon Emma comes back running with a very think paste made from those flowers. I gesture Mason to bring it to me as I blink a few times leaning towards the bowl, waiting for the tears to fall in it. The constant blinking has got my eye irritated now as I feel the water filling up at the rims, I blink a few more times and the tears slide down and fall into the bowl. As soon as that happens, I pray to the Goddess for her recovery and ask Mason to mix it. While he is at it, I move out of the room and come back all dressed up in my human form.
Taking the bowl from his hand, I keep on mixing it a little and then give it to the doctor, informing him about the do’s and don’t for the same. I’m almost done when I tell him, “Once you wrap her face up, do not open it until tomorrow morning, DO YOU GET IT?” The curiosity that is dancing in his eyes is clearly visible which intrigues me to ask, “What is it that you want to ask? Ask away.”
He gulps once before asking, “What are we supposed to expect in the morning Miss.” I’m just about to answer when a loud growl erupts, echoing through the room and I turn towards the culprit as I narrow my eyes at Mason, he looks pissed for some reason unknown. I open my mouth to ask him what it is about when he looks at the doctor and seethes, “How dare you disrespect your Luna?”
“LUNA?” the words passes the doctor's lips followed by a few chuckles, which I’m sure are from Aiden and Blake. I grab Mason’s arm as I whisper, “This is not the time Mason. Just let it go.”
“NO. How dare he call you with something like that?” his words piss me off to no end as I stomp on his feet, which makes me hiss as he bends a little, I grab him by his ear as I whisper-shout, “I said, now is not the time for it; so you better suck it up, unless you want me to kick your ass.”
“Ow lady. Stop pinching my ear” he whines, his words make me leave his ear and he instantly holds it within his fingers rubbing them a little to soothe the pain radiating through them. “You don’t want me to do that than stop being a child for goddess sake” I say as I move my attention back towards the doctor and address him, “The Moon Flowers bloom at night and they mark the beginning of a new day and acquiring of something that was lost yesterday under the glowing light of the moon. The flowers in the milk will help mend her lost and damaged tissues, the milk will soothe the burn and as if for the tears, they will neutralize the effect of Wolfsbane in the wounds. Since the flower’s have the tendency to bloom throughout the night, the recovery might take that long as well. As for your question, when you’ll open the tapes in the morning, you’ll find her in her original condition just like she used to look before the attack but just with a few marks which according to me, will heal themselves by the next full moon. Anything else?”
By the time, I’m done explaining I’m almost breathless due to my rant, I turn to look around and notice that every pair of eyes are on me, that makes me realize that they were all intently listening to me while I blabbered to explain the stuff to the doctor. I clear my throat once to bring them out of their trance as I grab hold of Mason’s arm, pulling him a little, I ask, “Now, how about we deal with the pending interrogation?”
