Jake sat on the side of the bed using a warm towel to clean Kate's hand. He hasn't left his room since the unlucky incident. Charlie has been bringing him food while the other family members checked on him and kept him company.
He would always begin a conversation knowing that she could hear him as long as she was still breathing.
A knock on the door stopped him from his cleaning when Lucas walked in. "Hey" He whispered, glancing at Kate laid on the bed looking pale.
"Hi" Jake replied, picking back the towel and cleaning in-between her fingers.
"I wanted to check on you".
"Thank you". Jake answered with a smile but it quickly turned sadder.
Lucas sighed sitting beside him. "She's gonna be fine".
"How do you know? I'm not sure I could live with myself if something happened to Kate". Tears threatened to spill from his eyes.
"I know and believe she'll wake up anytime soon" Jake didn't know how else he could feel about the situation. If anything happened to Kate, no matter how strong he is he will be a broker.
A knock broke them from their talk as they heard another set of footsteps approaching the doorway before it swung open to reveal Cole.
"Jake, when was the last time you took a bath?" Cole asks with his hands on his waist.
"Uhm.."
"Boy go take a bath" Cole scolds, grabbing Jake's arms and pulling him towards the bathroom.
Lucas chuckled watching Cole pull Jake along while telling him to hurry up.
"Knock knock" Zayn opens the door peeking his head in.
"Hey" Lucas greets lifting the sheets to cover Kate properly.
"Where's Hob- what's happening there?" Pointing at the bathroom door Zayn asks Lucas with wide eyes.
"Cole's bathing Jake" Lucas says, glancing at Kate.
"When do you think she'll wake up?" asks sitting on the couch.
"I have no idea" Lucas answers honestly. His gaze falls on Kate again before it lands on Zayn.
"Cole, I can scrub myself!" JakeJake called from the bathroom.
The two males exchanged looks before bursting out laughing.
"Oh my God her fingers moved!" Zayn yells pointing at Kate's hand with eyes as wide as saucers.
"You're probably wrong" responds Lucas, shaking his head.
"I know what I saw, Lucas! Her fingers moved a little"
"Where's Diana?"
"Out with Kai, why?"
"Yeah you're probably seeing things from being away from your mate" Lucas sasses rolling his eyes.
"Don't make me look like I'm oozing rubbish young man" Zayn scolds.
"Don't talk to me like I'm your son" Lucas retorts.
"Ah can you girls just shut your traps"
"Tell that to Zayn who thinks your fingers moved" Lucas clicks his tongue rolling his eyes at Zayn before looking back at Kate.
"Lucas she's alive" Zayn shouts standing up.
"Oh my God!" Flying out of his chair like he had just seen a ghost.
"Was never dead" She whispers leaning upward only to let out a groan laying back down her eyes glowing a hint of blue before returning to its normal color.
"Are you okay?" Zayn asks, earning a nod from kate.
"Jake!" Lucas yells
"Bro I had to bath you myself" Cole's voice was heard as he walked out of the bathroom with Jake trailing behind him with a towel wrapped around his waist.
On seeing Kate staring back at him with a weak smile on her face he runs to the bed pushing Cole out of the way.
"Oh God '' Jake climbs into the bed wrapping his hands around his mate, burying his face in the crook of her neck trying to hold back his tears but a choked sob escapes his lips. "I thought you'd never wake up" He whispers, tightening his hold on her.
"Why wouldn't I?" She slowly chuckles, stroking Jake's bareback.
"Are you okay?" Breaking the hug but still holding Kate, Jake asks, scanning her frame. Her lips looked pale and chapped and she had lost weight. She wipes Jake's tear stained cheeks nodding.
"Should I tell the others?" Zayn asks, using his thumb to point at the door.
"Are you sure? You don't feel weak? Or hungry? Or pain anywhere..." Jake trails off ignoring Zayn's question.
"No, I just feel..."
"How?" Lucas rolls his eyes at Jake's impatience, shaking his head with a small smile.
"Different" Kate chuckles, pulling Jake in for another hug.
Zayn looks at Lucas while Lucas looks at him.
"Yea we should go"
"Right!" Zayn curtly replies
"So you're telling me that Zayn is a what? A werewolf? Like teen wolf werewolf?" Kai laughs, but her laughter dies down when Diana doesn't crack but keeps a straight face. "Bro you can't be serious' ' Kai shakes her head standing up and goes to the fridge and takes out a bottle of fruit wine.
"I'm dead serious" Diana says tilting her head to the side.
"Cole too, Justin too?" Kai asks walking back to Diana and sitting back at her position. "Damn no wonder they are all finer than normal" Kai laughs, Diana too. "So have you ever seen him in werewolf form?" Diana shakes her head earning a scoff from Kai.
"You haven't? You've never been curious? You're a bad girlfriend... oh not girlfriend, mate right? That's what you called it" Kai pops open the wine with a large grin on her face. Diana thought she was being strangely excited but then again it's Kai. She took the news better than Diana thought she would.
"Although I've seen Justin-"
"You've seen Justin but not Zayn?" Her voice boomed through her large room, her eyes wide and mouth gape. "Why does it sound like a forbidden love triangle?" She giggles, taking a swing of the wine, earning a slap on her lap from Diana.
"Are you crazy? It's no big deal, it was just a coincidence, Josh was stalking me Justin kinda sensed him and went after him" Diana defends but the look Kai was giving she could tell her best friend was not buying her story.
"That Josh deserves to be run over by a truck" Kai suddenly shouts handing the bottle to Diana "Justin should have snapped his stupid neck when he caught Josh" Diana had already told Kai about everything that has been happening including her mum being a threat to the pack.
"Josh isn't the problem" Diana starts taking a swing "it's mum" she exhales in defeat.
"Can't you tell your mum everything?"
"She won't be convinced that Zayn's pack are harmless as long as there are people who have died by the claws of werewolves"
"The other guy... What's his name again?"
"Rodney" Diana's phone rings and Kai picks it up wiggling her brows
"Dempapi is calling you" Diana quickly snatches her phone from her laughing friend.
"Hey" She points at Kai with a warning glare, mouthing to her to shut up as she stands up to walk out of the room.
"God I miss you" Zayn whines.
"Feelings mutual" Diana replies sitting on the step.
"When will you be done with Kai?"
She hums, placing her elbow on her lap and cupping her cheek. "I'm staying over" Zayn's loud exclamation makes Diana shift the phone away from her ear.
"What's her address?" A small chuckle escaped her lips as she shook her head.
"What's happening there? Anything new?"
"Oh yeah, Kate woke up" Diana gasps, feeling genuinely happy that Kate finally woke up and Jake would return to normal.
"Is she okay?" Zayn hums in response, making the girl exhale in relief. At Least there was good news, it was really needed for the pack.
"I miss you" Zayn states, dropping his frame on the bed before folding in a fetus position.
"I miss you more Zayn"
"Ugh I just wanna come get you" Zayn groans making Diana laugh.
"Are you taking a shit out there?!" Kai's voice was heard from the room and it didn't go unheard by Zayn and his supernatural ears.
"Shut up Kai.."
"Shut up Kai.."
Both Zayn and Diana say at the same time making them both erupt in a fit of laughter.
"Why don't go somewhere Kai-less" Giggling like a teenager that her crush glanced at, she goes down the stairs to continue her call with her soulmate.
