At the hospital, Armin was wheeled into an empty room and the door was shut.
From the distance I spotted a well known doctor. He was one of us yet influential in both the human world and the world of the most elite wolves.
"Doctor Finn," I called and rushed towards him. He did not know me but I'd seen him severally in magazines.
Although he was a doctor, he was also very hot. So his pictures showed up many times in top handsome men list.
was incredibly beautiful with his long black hair and dark skin tone. He had deep green eyes, soft pink lips and a smile that could melt the entire world.
He was particularly know for his famous smirk that could turn any man gay.
"Excuse me, pretty lady." He walked past me and headed to the door. "There's a job that needs to be done."
Without waiting for a response, the door was slammed shut and I had no choice than to wait.
I could trust the doctor, couldn't I? He was good-looking so he could be very good at his job.
I exhaled. That was it.
Luke looked at me and said, "I think everything will be fine. Armin isn't weak."
I nodded, "You are right. Armin is very strong and sturbbon, he won't kick the bucket so easily."
A look passed Luke eyes but before I could make sense of it. He said, "Why don't you use the hospital's bathroom and freshen up, I fear the poison is still on your skin. Even though you're immune, it can irritate your skin and you might bump into someone and if the poison somehow manages to spread on them, it'd become an issue."
That made sense.
"But I don't have any clothes to change into."
"That is not an issue, I'll go get neat clothes for you. You can go to the bathroom and freshen up right now, I'll ask a nurse to send you the clothes."
I nodded. I couldn't keep wearing only his shirt anyways. It stopped right below my hip. If I had to pick something from the ground, my ass would show and that would be so annoying.
I didn't want a random guy seeing my ass.
I followed Luke's recommendation and headed to the female bathroom.
I turned on the shower and the feeling I'd been repressing exploded in my chest. As the droplets of water hit my skin, realization sunk in.
Armin could die.
He generally had a weak body due to his past incidents. Only his reputation had been sustaining him so far but now he got poisoned and probably inhaled the zombie's dangerous gas.
Fuck!
Even though I killed the zombie, I only endangered his life and made the situation worse.
My feet tapped against the cold tile on their own, impatiently.
Armin..
Please don't leave me.
I sobbed as many scenarios of Armin dying filled my head, making my heart ache.
I turned off the shower. This couldn't do, I needed to see him. To see how he was doing.
I couldn't feel him.. I couldn't feel his connection in the mindlink. I couldn't feel him— It felt like when he blocked me out before.
It was driving me crazy? Was he gone?
Was my love dead?
Knock knock knock_
I rushed to the door without care that I was bare. As soon as I opened the door, I was met with a white lady with blue eyes and blonde hair.
Goosebumps appeared on my skin because her features were exactly like the housekeeper lady I killed early, it was scary how alike they looked.
"I-i," I stuttered, unable to say any words.
"A man called Luke asked me to get you some clothes and towels so here." The placed the clothes in my hands and without another word, left while slamming the door shut.
I sighed. How could anyone look so familiar to someone else? I had to find a way to check if they were actually related.
Even if they weren't, I was curious and wanted to know.
For now though, ensuring Armin's wellbeing was priority.
I dried myself off and slipped on the jeans and yellow soft cardigan.
I dried my hair with the towels and walked straight to Armin's room. When I opened the door I saw that it was empty.
"Jas!"
I turned around only to see Luke walking towards me. I closed the door and approached him.
"Luke,"
He had no emotion on his face so I couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"How is he?"
A laugh etched on Luke's face and he ruffled my already messy hair.
"Armin's been moved to another room—"
"—Why?"
"Relax, I was just about to tell you."
"Tell me!" I was impatient now.
"Armin is fine. He got his system flushed. The reason he fainted was because his body was too weak. Now he's taking a rest in the other room."
I was relieved but still wondered, "Why can't I feel him?"
"His wolf is also recuperating."
I nodded, then they were both in a deep sleep.
"When will he wake?"
"Probably in a few hours. He'll have to stay here for 24 hours untill he makes full recovery."
I huffed.
"Then he made me worry a lot for nothing."
Luke chuckled, "You're something else."
"By the way, the nurse you asked to give me fresh clothes and towels look so much familiar to the blonde housekeeper."
Luke nodded, "That's right. I was shocked as well, more than you."
I could hear Luke's heart rate going up than normal.
"She's my mate."
I didn't know how to react.
If she was Luke's mate then.. I felt really guilty. What if she was the sister of the blonde I beheaded?
How could I face Luke again?
"Are they related?" I murmured quietly.
"Who? The blonde housekeeper and the nurse? No! They have different family backgrounds and family name. You don't have to feel guilty about anything. In fact, if I was at the scene I probably would have beheaded the blonde housekeeper myself. Also, although the nurse is my mate, I don't have any plans of developing a relationship with her. Right now, Armin's wellbeing is very important to me."
"Fool!" I did not hesitate to say. "If you were asked to choose between Armin and your younger sister, who would you choose?"
"Armin. My sister is eighteen and a well gifted police officer, she can take care of herself." Luke said without hesitation.
I sighed. That wasn't a good example.
"If you were asked to choose between saving your child and Armin—"
"— I only make decisions based on my current plights. Never on figments of imagination so Jasmine, don't bother, I've made my decision. I choose Armin."
"I hope you won't regret it." I said.
"That's for me to decide."
I heard a sob. From across the room, the nurse was watching— She'd heard everything.. Luke made sure she did.
He walked towards her with a solemn expression and said, "I, Luke Cameron Bawlford rejects you, Heathen Kings as my mate."
Heathen bowed her head, her face sad.
"Don't take this personally," Luke sighed, "You are beautiful, your boobs look nice and you have a fat ass.." Heathen face flushed a bright pink.
Luke continued with a straight face, "I just don't want a mate no matter what so if you find someone who isn't an asshole like me, date him. You don't owe me anything."
I laughed in my head. Luke was already attracted to her. It was only a matter of time untill he came back to his senses.
For now, I would watch as the drama unfold.
