They have all these unanswered questions.
Arya wraps her arms around me from behind and I close my eyes, trying to breathe in. My leg injury is healing however, my side is killing me.
After discussing with a few people, my mate comes back. He kisses my temple and takes me to the car. Dan is driving and Arya is sitting in the passager seat, while my mate and I are in the back seat, they have questions about my abilities but don’t ask, deeming it not the right time and I’m thankful for that. I rest my head on his shoulder and Leon pulls me onto his lap so I can be more comfortable, my hands are around his torso and I close my eyes. The ride is silent and I’m surprised when we stop at the general hospital, I glance at Leondre,
“What are we doing here?” I ask, confused.
“You need to get checked, you look extremely pale and weak, and I notice your healing process is taking longer,” He says. Indeed, I feel weak and my side hurts. I nod and we walk hand in hand into the hospital. I grimace at the smell of strong medicine. Leondre leads me to a private area where we meet the royal doctor. He is a tall thin man with snow-white hair and a beard.
“Good evening, everyone,” He salutes and Arya hugs him, they exchange a few words and she explains to him my situation. The doctor glances my way and I see recognition in his gaze. He smiles at me and I smile back.
“Sit please, young lady,”
I answer his questions while a male nurse cleans my wound which is almost healed now. The doctor and my people are talking about my condition and assuming, I notice Leon doesn’t mention my ability
‘Should we tell them that I have abilities?’ I ask through our private mind link. He thinks a while longer before responding.
‘If you’re comfortable, but I do trust them,’ He replies. I hold his hand and smile but his gaze is fixed on the x-ray on the board. I sigh and bite my lower lips as I tell them about my abilities, by the time I am done, Arya and Dan have their mouth hanging while my mate’s face is expressionless. The doctor smiles and gets up from his seat and says,
“So you are an Altamirano too,”
“What do you mean? You knew about this?” The old doctor nods and begins to explain,
“My late sister worked at the royal infirmary in the Solace pack and she told me about the royals’ special abilities,”
“Have you used your abilities before?”
“Yes but just during training with my brother and the last time I teleported, I passed out for days,” I explain to him.
“You are still young and your abilities are unstable and draining, they are slowing down your healing process, I’d like for you to first practice before actually using them, for now,”
The doctor goes on to explain more, he is knowledgeable about my abilities and I listen to every word he says. He also advised that I should train in combat to make myself stronger so that I can have better control of my powers. I should also try to meditate and relax not only my body but mind. The doctor gives me some vitamins that I should take once a day and we bid him good night before going back to the car.
“Leondre, are you alright?” I ask, worried that he’s too silent. He opens the door for me and kisses my temple.
“I have some work to do at the office,”
To Arya he says,
“Please order some food and make sure she eats and then takes the medication,”
I pout, still holding his hand but he only gives me a halfhearted smile and closes the door, he watches us leave and I sigh. He leaves me to think about what I did wrong.
“Did I do something wrong?”
Arya’s POV
I am thinking about whom could have sent those men to get my sister-in-law, could it be Erickson, last time at the match he showed interest in her and didn’t bother hiding that he lusted for her, and now, my brother is losing his shit over this, his woman has got 24/7 protection even though she doesn’t know it.
After replying to some work emails, I go into the shower for a relaxing bath. I lay my head on the border. I must have fallen asleep because I woke up to images of my mate.
Drying my body with a towel, I go to bed.
Laying on the bed, my thoughts drifted to Jacob, he was hurt that I wanted to take a break but it was for the best, our relationship was moving fast and I needed time to recollect my thought.
My phone rings and I reluctantly check to see who it is, Jacob. I sigh and end the call. I receive a text from him.
“Are you alright?” I don’t respond, another notification comes
“Call me whenever you need me, Arya,”
The next day, my brother woke me before five to go and investigate what happened but it was futile, no one saw them enter the territory and their scents were concealed.
He orders a search in most territories to check if they are any more shifter slayers,
“It’s almost noon, let’s go home and rest,” I complain tired, we’ve been moving up and down but I have a feeling he just wants to avoid his mate for some reason, Leondre was hurt that she kept the truth about her powers a secret even though we suspected already that she could be a special wolf because of her bloodline.
“Have you talked to her about what happened last night, about her powers?”
” No,” His eyes are cold and are exuding his Alpha aura.
“Talk to her, maybe she was just scared and..” I tell him my thoughts about it.
Once I reach home, I refresh and rest before going to Alyssa’s room, I need someone to go to the club with. Alyssa protests and complains as she has never gone to the club before but I insist and she accepts.
“Fine, it’s not like Leon cares. He’s avoiding me since yesterday,” I give her a quick hug and pick out a sexy outfit for her. I do her make out and damn, the queen looks divine but she’s a little shy in her outfit, however, she will suck it up. I wear a sequin dress that reaches mid-thigh and heels. We make our way downstairs. The servants we meet giggle and compliment how beautiful we look and Allie is so sheepish! Too cute. I drive us to the nearest club in the city, and because they know me, we don’t stand in line. We get into the club and I smile at the familiarity of the place, a large bar, and the dance floor with different colored lights with loud music. I drag Allie to the bar
“Hi, beautiful ladies,” The bartender smiles and I wink and wave, he’s docky and cute. ” What are you having?” He asks in an Italian accent.
“Tequila shots!”
“Four shots coming your way,” Alyssa is looking around uncomfortably, and almost cringe when men wink at her.
“You need to loosen up and drink,” I say as I hand her the drink. I thought she won’t drink it but she did. I smile and we kept going and taking more. Next, we go to the dancefloor,
“Dance!” I cheer my sister-in-law on. Timidly she starts to move her petite body softly to the rhythm of the song. She is enjoying it.
We are dancing together and having fun but I can’t shake the feeling that someone is watching me. My eyes scan the area but I see no one suspicious.
