MASON'S POV
It's almost a month now that Mia still hasn't woken up from her coma.
As for my mother and sister, I've punished them by throwing them into the dungeons and starving them for a whole month.
"If they never had hurt Mia by now I would've got what I wanted"
I'd been visiting Mia almost everyday to see if there's any progress at all and so far there wasn't any.
Luke is furious with what happened to Mia.
He so badly craves to make my sister and mother pay for what they had done to his mate.
He was once tempted to rip of their heads but before he even could try doing it I struggled And eventually calmed him down and made a promise to him that if he let's my sister and mother go I will gladly accept Mia whole heartedly as my mate and not think of hurting her ever!
"Obviously which was a lie"
"I would never accept her as my mate nor Luna!"
Or anyone for that matter, I hate the fact by being tied to someone till the day you die.
I had only done this so my mother and sister could live, I can't let them die, they are my family.
Luke cannot know about my plan if he does then I'm not exactly sure how he would react.
I'm now sitting in Mia's hospital room watching over her just to appease Luke and let him assume I've changed my feelings towards Mia, so that my plan runs smoothly and nobody gets hurt.
As I stare at Mia's sleeping form, her eyes suddenly snap open. She groans in pain and attempts to wake up.
I quickly get up from the couch and run towards her bedside.
MIA'S POV
Where am I and why does my body hurt so damn much? And what the hell is he doing here?
"Mia, are you okay?"
Should I call for the doctor?, he asked in a rather panicked tone.
"What happened to me?"
I asked getting up from the bed but Mason gently pushes me back down.
He sighs. "My mother and sister had assaulted you and... you went into a coma"
"Those bitches are going to pay for hurting me!"
Mason sighs. "I'm sorry for what they've done Mia"
I never expected them to hurt you, I apologize on their behalf, I really am.
Somethings definitely off with him, what's he upto?
Although I'd like to believe him and he does seem genuine but deep down I have this horrible feeling that's warning me to stay far away from him.
*******
The doctor had discharged me, saying that I'm fine to return home but I'll just need to have plenty of rest and try not to overwork myself.
"Mason had brought me to his mansion instead of the pack house because he's afraid Those two maniacs might harm me again"
Well they could try again but this time around They would be the ones that would end up in A hospital or most probably dead!
"Mia?"
I hear Mason call out to me, I snap out of my trance and focus on him.
Yes? Did you just call out to me?
Yeah.... I did, actually I wanted to inform you that I won't be around tonight and that I'd be attending a very important meeting at another pack.
Thank heavens!
I won't have to be anywhere near this creep!
And maybe I could get the hell out of this Damn forsaken place, I guess it's the only chance I'll have to escape him and be free.
"Don't!"
"What do you mean dont, Bella?"
"You can't leave him, he's our mate!"
"Really Bella?"
"Do you honestly believe this idiot has changed?"
Of course I do!
Can't you see it? Eversince he has told his family that we are his mate, he's completely changed!
I roll my eyes mentally. There's no use arguing with Bella over this as you can see she's head over heels for Mason and she totally trusts him more the she will ever trust me!
I put up a wall between us and ignore her completely, she's beginning to piss me off!
I clear my throat and glance at Mason that's now standing way to close to me, I haven't noticed that he has his hand around my waist and he's staring at me like I'm his pray.
As much as I'd love to be near him and touch and kiss him but I can't... I can't do that. I'll have to fight this stupid mate bond!
everytime I look at him, I think about what he has done to those poor girls, who couldn't defend themselves from this wicked monster, especially with what he had done to Katherine!
I grab ahold of my head and shut my eyes pretending to have an headache so that he can get the hell away from me.
"What's wrong?"
He asked with concern lacing his voice.
"My head hurts quiet bad"
I said holding onto my head. I just hope he believed me.
Let's get you to bed, he said carrying me bridal style, earning a small gasp from me.
I'll call doctor Clark so that she could give you something to ease the pain.
Mason places me onto the bed, he covers me with the blankets, he sits on the bed and takes my hand in his and gazes into my eyes, making me feel little uncomfortable.
I've just mindlinked doctor Clark, she's on her way as we speak.
I nod and quickly avert my gaze.
"I guess I'll have to cancel that meeting"
You're obviously not well and I can't just leave you here all alone.
No, I blurted out.
He shoots me a confused look.
I mean it's fine... You can go, I'll be fine.
You can't just abandon your alpha duties becouse of me, I assure you I'll be okay, it's nothing major to worry about, it's just a headache that will be gone soon!
"Are you sure?"
Will you be fine by yourself?
I nod, "yes I will"
Alright then, I guess I'll be leaving, the meeting starts within two hours.
Okay, I mumble.
Mason places a kiss on my for head and tells me he will be back in the morning.
As soon as he leaves the room, I jump out from the bed and stand at the window.
I watch Mason getting into the vehicle.
