My Mate is on Fire

Chapter 6

Declan's POV

We were running behind Matthew trying to catch up with him, not a fly passing by our lips. At this point, I was very intrigued as to where he was heading for and who or what was he looking for, I think doctor Nian was wondering the same thing as she had a puzzled look on her face.

After a while, Mattew finally stopped in front of what seems to be someone's room, we stood still a few feet from where he was standing at.

He lifted his hand and finally place it on the doorknob

Why was he hesitating so much?

Was he afraid? Or nervous perhaps?

He slowly opened the door. And stiffens at the sight.

Matthew pov.

Once I have caved into unconscious I could still use most of my senses, I could smell Declan, I could hear him approaching and command others to aid me, however, I could not move nor open up my eyes.

The sense of impotency bringing irritation as his guest.

My only companion being Ezra who was not acting entirely like himself.

He was agitated all the time and will sometimes space out in the middle of a conversation. I am not gonna lie, his unusual behavior was a little worrisome, however, whenever I try to ask what was the matter, he would just evade the topic.

On a brighter note, I have overheard that

doctor Nian was going to be the one taking care of me, and that pleased me very much.

Nian and I used to be best friends back when we were in high school, but once she entered college our paths ways just parted apart, nevertheless, we always tried to keep in touch at least once in a while.

I am hoping that she will be able to tell me what's wrong with Ezra and me.

I have been placed on what I assume must be one of the rooms in the packhouse clinic

The sound of the hearth monitor and all those weird smells were the proof I needed to confirm my whereabouts.

'Ezra what's wrong with you '

I asked my wolf for what must have been the hundredth time in this day.

Ezra sighed as a sign of being defeated and proceed to finally answer me.

'You see, I been having this unsettling feeling going on for a while now as if something bad was to happen.... something catastrophic to say the least, it might have to do with this mission perhaps. I haven't said anything before because I thought I was just been paranoid.

After all, if it involves the council it might be not so good.

But aside from that today when we were getting ready I felt like something... I don't know how to put it, but it felt as if something inside me was being stripped from within my soul....breaking apart, and it causes a tremendous amount of pain to ruched through my whole been, it only lasted a couple of seconds but it drained me up. I... I think I might know what occasioned it however I don't think you are going to like it .'

'What was it?'

'I think it might have something to do with...'

Ezra was cut off midway seen as we were interpreted by someone entering the room.

"Okay, give us a moment so I could run some test on him. The results will be ready in about an hour or so."

'That was Nian. I could recognize that voice anywhere.'

"An hour! We can't take so long we are supposed to embark on a classified mission in an hour."

'S**t I have been so cut up with this Ezra situation that I must have had lost track of time, what am I going to do, I must assist to that mission.'

Truth is that just like Ezra I have had second thoughts on this subject as well and a nagging feeling about it, however, is not as if I could do something about it, they have my sister after all and there is no way in hell I would let those bastards stay with her.

"Well it seems to me that the Alpha is not going anywhere any time soon"

'F**k no'

'Come on Ezra I need you to wake us up.'

' I can't.' Was his answer

'What do you mean you can't? Ezra, you know better than anyone else that we never live our man to deal on their own, we are their Alpha, their leader, we are the strongest member of the group and we are certainly of no help if we stay in this f*****g

Bed, and our pack count whit us you need to get us the hell out of here right now

'I SAID I CAN'T OKAY!'

That was the last thing he said to me before he blocked our link.

This has been the very first time Ezra has ever scream at me. Sure we have had some arguments before but they never escalated to the point where we will yell at each other.

This was not the Ezra that I have known

'Oh, dear moon goddess what is going on with us?'

It has been several hours since I heard anything from Declan, I was worried sick, and I felt more than useless considering that I couldn't do a single thing from my hospital bed.

Ezra has yet not to talk to me, and Nian has performed any medical procedures that I have known and even more, and from her constant sighting, I knew that she has yet to find what's wrong with me.

"How's he doing doc?"

Declan's voice. Finally, I received some peace.

Nian sighted once more.

" He is fiscally fine, the results from the blood test were looking good, the electrocardiogram and the MRI were great, everything was exceptional as expected from a young Alpha, which will usually be good news however in this case is not.

I have no idea of what could have been the cause for the Alpha's sudden collapse."

'As I have guessed Nian had not a single clue what was my problem.'

I clenched my hand into a fist out of annoyance.

'Hold up a second did ...did I just moved my hand or did I just imagine that happening?'

I tried to move my fingers once more, and it worked. I was more than overjoyed at this point.

'Ezra'

I called out to him in hope of a response.

I waited for a second and nothing.

'...Ezra'

I repeated myself.

But this time, I got a reply.

'He is here !'

Ezra exclaimed

'Who is here ?'

I asked with confusion written all over.

Ezra was prancing and all over the place his tail wagging from side to side.

And then it happened, Ezra waked us up from our fainted state.

And start sniffing all over the place like a maniac.

He has taken control of my body but had let me watch the show.

As Ezra continues his search for God knows what, an extraordinary fragrance assaulted must nostrils. It was a combination of green apples and cinnamon, the most delicious smell ever.

Ezra wasted no time, he took off towards the source of this intoxicating smell, and I did not protest one bit.

I was jogging in the direction of the apple and cinnamon scent until the smell led us into a room.

I stood there just staring at the door stopping me from finding the source of this scent but for some reason, we could not muster myself to open it up.

I stood there for a few seconds but every second felt like an eternity until I finally coax myself to put my hand on the doorknob and flip it open.

Nothing could have prepared me for what came in after.
