Chapter 25
Serah slowly came around and the first thing she noticed was the bright white light that hung on the ceiling. She groaned, trying to sit up but a gentle hand pushed her down.
“Please rest ma’am”, a voice said.
“Where am I?”, Serah asked.
“Safe”.
Serah’s eyes were open now and she could pick out one or two things in the room. Immediately, she knew she was in an hospital since the walls were painted in a brilliant white.
“Missed me?”, a voice said.
Serah whipped her head towards the direction of the voice. She almost cried in relief when she saw Brian walking towards her.
“You bet”, Serah smiled.
Brian kissed her with all the emotions flowing through his body. He couldn’t believe he almost lost her and he was greatful for the timely intervention of the doctor’s in charge who quickly flushed out the poison from her body.
“What happened?”, She asked
Brian took a seat close to her. He didn’t know how to tell her but he knew he had to find a way because she deserved to know what happened.
“Please leave us”, Brian said.
Serah looked up, a bit startled that someone was there all along. It was the nurse who cared for her when she was down.
“Yes sir”, she said.
When she left, Brian carried his mate, sitting on the hospital bed as he placed her on his lap. He knew that it was against the ethics of the hospital but he didn’t care.
“You know this isn’t allowed right?”, Serah laughed.
“Yes, I know and I really don’t care”, Brian grinned.
“Fiend. Now, tell me what happened”, Serah said.
“You sure you want to hear all about it?”.
“Brian, I deserve to know”.
“Okay… Okay. There’s no other way to say it, Serah you were poisoned”, he said.
“Poisoned? I don’t understand”, she said.
There was a confused expression on her face that Brian kissed away. He never wanted to see her wear that expression again.
“Yes, by a poisoned dart. You were just about entering the kitchen when you got shot at with it. The dart is with Jack, he has taken it to a lab for testing and i believe that soon, we will get an answer”, Brian said.
“It’s no wonder I was feeling weak. I couldn’t even feel my magic Brian, at that moment, it seemed as if they were dead, like they didn’t exist”, Serah said.
“Whoever did this had the intention of crippling you through your magic. But they’ve failed this time and as soon as I have my answers, I’m going after them”, Brian vowed.
“Thank you. Thank you for bringing me here on time, if you hadn’t, I could have kissed my magic goodbye”, Serah said.
“It’s okay baby, I’m always here for you. Can you feel your magic now, at least even though only a little bit”, Brian asked.
He didn’t know if she got them bsbk after she was hit with the poison. If at the end she was rendered without magic, he vowed within himself to track down every single person who was responsible for that attack.
“Stand back a bit, let me try something”, Serah said.
Fast as a lightening, she sat up on her hospital bed swiftly, swinging her legs to the ground. Brian moved several steps back, he wasn’t sure of what she wanted to do but he trusted her.
Right before his eyes, Serah lifted his shirt off his body just with her mind. Brian smiled, happy that his mate had finally gotten her powers back. He felt a huge relief because he knew what it would mean if she lived without her powers.
“It’s back”, she smiled.
Brian walked towards her, taking her in his arms. He was glad she was whole again, glad that her powers were back again.
“And I’m happy. I’m never leaving you alone again Serah, never again”, Brian smiled.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“I’m not a baby Brian, I was just caught off guard by the poison. You know I’m usually faster than that”, Serah smiled.
“It’s true but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m still not leaving you alone. Wherever I go, you go with me”, Brian vowed.
“Fine but can we leave this hospital, it’s depressing and oh my gosh, tell me you packed some of my stuffs from Paris”, Serah said.
“Err… No babe, I didn’t. I was so scared especially with the way you were looking lifeless, I couldn’t risk taking anything. My whole mind was on getting you to the nearest hospital”, Brian said.
“Well, I can’t blame you on that. Now, please let’s leave. This place is really depressing and we need to see your father”, Serah said.
Within the twinkle of an eye, she had a change of clothes through her magic. Brian could get used to this especially when she performs her magic without him knowing.
Brian took her by the arms, leading her out of the hospital room. Just as they were about leaving, the nurse who attended to her came rushing down, breathing heavily.
Apparently, the poor woman had been running and it was just a flick of luck she was able to get them before they left the hospital completely.
“Ma’am, you’re not fully fit to leave”, she said.
“As you can see, my mate is okay”, Brian growled.
Serah could tell that he was slowly loosing his patience and any minute now, he would blow out in anger. She placed a warm comforting hand on his shoulder, silently reassuring him that it was okay.
“Babe, let me handle this”, Serah said.
Brian remained calm, taking in large amounts of air. He knew that it was the only way he could deal with the situation.
“Thank you nurse but I’m alright now”, Serah smiled.
“But the doctor… What do I tell him?”, she said.
“Just tell him that I’m alright and I’m with Alpha Brian”, Serah said.
The nurse looked as if she wanted to say more but Serah smiled sweetly before walking out with Brian.
“You didn’t tell me you were a badass”, Brian said.
“I like to keep my traits”, Serah smiled.
“And it’s a damn good one”.
