Chapter 117
Lewis POV
I hadn't exactly heard what my cousin had to say because I felt someone poking at my head through mind link. It was rare for anyone to try and contact me out of the blue, and I suddenly felt a pit form in my stomach, I quickly put my finger up to stop the alpha from talking and opened the link to hear whatever was going to be said.
*'Lord Beta... no one can wake Queen Dylan!'*
When I say that I shot up so fast causing whiplash to overtake me, I wasn't exaggerating... a slight ache began to form in my neck and back as I quickly ordered an explanation. Doctor Sakis words felt like a stab to my chest, because I couldn't for the life of me understand what exactly he was talking about? I had just been with her, she was completely fine, so what exactly had happened in the short space of time that I had been away from her?
*'What? What do you mean?'* I began to pace backwards and forwards in my cousins office leaving him to just look at me as if I had five heads coming out of my neck.
*'She won't wake up, we've tried everything.'* I needed to get back, I mean, would this have even happened if I hadn't have left her? Was it because of something I did? I knew her mind was fragile, maybe my kissing her sent her into shock, or panic... what if she had suffered a panic attack all because of me? I knew she experienced them a lot, and I still took things too far.
Although, truly thinking about it, it could have been her fatigue and hunger, maybe everything had finally hit her full force, and now she had simply shut down because of it. I tried to get food to her when ever I could, but I knew it wasn't enough for her to live on. It didn't matter what it was, I suppose in the end it was still all my fault.
*'I'll be back as soon as I can. Until then, Keep her comfortable'* My order was clear, but my worry was much more prominent, I quickly shut the mind link off and turned to Gilliard who just looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"So, what trouble has your little mate gotten into now then?" I shook my head at him and fought back a growl, he couldn't have known that she was seemingly unconscious, and I had told him many stories about her rebellious attitude. So as far as he knew, she had just ran her mouth again.
"I don't know..." I walked to the door of his office and rushed out my next sentence, before hightailing through it, not waiting to hear his reply. "Apparently she's unconscious."
I ran back to the base quicker than I ever had, letting my wolf form take over me completely. As soon as I got to the wolfs bane barrier I shifted back, praying silently that my human speed would be fast enough to get me to my girl in record time, because only after seeing her myself could I rule out every serious scenario that was running through my mind.
As soon as I entered the medical tent, both doctor Saki and doctor Bennet turned to me, the pair of them adjourning widened eyes and shock at the speed in which I entered.
"Where is she?!" There was absolutely no room in my voice for hesitation, my demand was evident, I needed Dylan. I was so restless, and longing was taking over my entire being, along with the strong feeling of guilt, that whatever had happened, did so while she was, once again, completely alone.
"Is Dylan ok?" The man who had been marked forcefully was still lying in bed, wires still came from him, but he looked the picture of health. Also, why was he so concerned? They'd only had one conversation, and he was acting like they were best friends.
"If I knew that, I wouldn't be asking where she was, would I?!" I growled out, I didn't like the man for some reason, maybe it was because he wouldn't speak to me before hand, or maybe, I was simply jealous at the fact that he seemed to have developed an instant liking to my girl. He was certainly disquieted by her current condition.
"Please, try not to panic too much, all her vital signs are within perfect perimeter. Her grace was found unconscious at the side of the big lake by Alan, he bought her back here because he couldn't wake her up at all. If she still hasn't woken by morning we will conduct some more tests, but right now, the most likely explanation is that her fatigue has caught up to her and she's collapsed from exhaustion." I nodded my head but still felt highly irritable as I looked at the doctor. He hadn’t answered my question, he had simply explained the situation to me. It wasn’t enough for my concern to ease.
“That still does not tell me where she is.” I ground out through clenched teeth, every single person currently in the medical tent was treading on extremely thin ice. I could feel my wolf form edging to the surface, but forced it down. Shifting in the confines of the base was fruitless and would only cause me pain.
“She’s resting in her RV… but…” I didn’t waste any more time in trying to find the patience to listen to what the doctor had to say. I was much more concerned with seeing what sort of state Dylan was in with my own eyes. At least then I could come to my own conclusions. I ran out of there before anyone could say anything more to me, and went straight to the RV that held my sleeping mate.
As soon as I entered the small van, I let my eyes wonder over to the bed, it was there that Dylan was resting, a single small pulse monitor lay on her finger, and caused a rhythmic consistent beeping sound to echo through the room.
She looked peaceful, her beautiful yet pale face was in a rare state of contentment, it made a change, in the few times I had been present while she slept, I had noticed her face contorting strongly out of fear and pain, all while being in the middle of her slumber, but now there was nothing, not even a flicker from her eyelids symbolising her dreaming mind, no, She was completely still. Her plump pink lips were gently parted to allow her unconscious breath to escape them, and her long thick hair lay sprawled out on the pillow that resided under her head, her heart rate as steady as a drum while she dreamt of goddess knows what.
I gently sat on the bed and sighed, running my hand over her hair a few times for comfort, to hopefully give her an even larger sense of serenity. The doctor was right, I didn’t need to worry just yet, if she was simply asleep, which she did appear to be, then I needed to let my girls mind catch up to the rest of her body, she needed to rest more than anyone else.
I have to admit though, I’m that specific moment, Dylan genuinely seemed even more lovely than she usually did, and I couldn’t understand why, I also couldn’t comprehend why my once fearful mind had instantly become more at ease the second I entered the room. It was as if the mere presence of her caused my wolf form to calm. Even still, my mate was unconscious, without a single explanation as to why, however I did not feel that deep sense of dread I had mere moments ago.
“I’m not sure what dream you are having or where your mind is right now, but please come back to me, we need to talk remember.” I finally took her hand in mine caressing the skin on her opposite arm softly. “Wake up soon for me, Dyl. Please…”
I watched closely in deep fascination as the moon had begun to shrink slowly in size more and more as each night passed, it’s shape beginning to resemble that of a banana.
“Dear Goddess Luna…” I prayed every single day to the moon goddess for Dylan’s safety, I hoped she was listening to my prayer, and I hoped my beautiful soulmate would understand everything. “Please, please bring her back safe, allow her to wake and take on the role that you chose her for. Please, she has a lot to give the world.”
Little did I know that she wouldn’t awaken for several days. It caused agony to envelope the heart in my chest, and so after a few days my worry began to quickly spread again.
