His Weak Alpha [MxW]

Remind

Chapter 29 - Present

"But you know what? The strangest thing happened on the following day, I must say. He woke up with a very high fever, which made his dad and your mom rush with him to the hospital, leaving Eddy with me. Yet, no human doctor or the one from the Pack could figure out what was happening to him."

Far from anything the young Alpha woman could imagine, there was only one certainty in her mind... About how it must be her fault.

It might not be among the things the Winter Witch had said to her, but Giselle was sure she wasn't wrong, seeing how the other woman had said that even Eddy could be affected by the spell.

So, it was more than evident to Elle that the same could also happen to Aaron.

“... Yet, no human doctor or the one from the Pack could figure out what was happening to him.”

As the words continued to echo in her mind, Giselle held the cell phone more tightly against her ear, feeling that if she didn't do so, she would drop it at any moment.

"I-is-is he- Is he better now?"

As if her heart stopped beating for a second, Elle asked, feeling completely guilty, although the other she-wolf would never think it was due to something more complex than the simple worry that any wolf would have for their Mate.

"Yes, he got better last night apparently from what his brother told me."

The brother mentioned by Jiya could only be Daniel as he was the only one she referred to in such a way most of the time when they talked about the D'Alberto brothers in private.

"Alpha Magnolia told me that someone Noah's Mate knows was the one who told them how to calm down his fever, so I had figured it out that you already knew about that... I mean... You're in there with them, so- No, sorry. I shouldn't have brought this up before checking with Noah first. I'm sorry about that."

Even though Giselle didn't want anyone else to know about her Mate and who he was, it didn't mean her connection to him was any less strong than the one shared by the other wolves who wanted to tell for the four corners of the world who their other half was.

Therefore, just like any other Werewolf, it was painful for her to hear that he was sick, even more, when she knew it was her fault.

... In other words, even if her Beta wasn't aware of the whole story, she soon thought it hadn't been a good idea to tell about it to Elle when she was so far away from the Pack's lands, being this the reason behind Jiya quiet apology…

Her friend couldn't even confirm with her own eyes that the man was all right, besides the fact that her words must have sounded completely empty to the young Alpha then.

"I believe he must be already back home if I'm not remembering wrong." Quickly correcting what she had said, Jiya continued to tell her. "I'm pretty sure that's what Daniel told me in the training session earlier, although I was a little distracted then."

Without going into much detail, she tried to comfort the future Alpha somehow, recalling how Giselle cared a lot about the Human Man... Far more than many other wolves cared about their Mates in the eyes of the Beta who quietly watched over them...

... Maybe… Maybe, it was because they could never be together, but sometimes Jiya wasn't sure it was just that as her thoughts went back to their talk...

"... I see... It's good to hear that he's already better. Aaron rarely gets sick, so it was quite a surprise..." Allowing images of her stepfather's second son to fill her mind, she laid her head back on the pillow while her heart began to beat more peacefully again.

... In a calm rhythm that neither hid nor concealed the other one that she could also sense in her chest...

"Why are you happy to hear that? You shouldn't even be worried about him, or you've forgotten that he's not ours to care for, no matter how much we'd like to believe he is."

Sadly, that feeling of peace was quickly replaced by her insecurities as she talked to herself in her mind while the truth was once again thrown in her face.

"We should be happy that at least now we know the spell worked, seeing how Jiya didn't mention anything." The voice in the back of Elle's mind continued to tell her in that lonely conversation before she realized the other she-wolf was calling out to her. "S-so-sorry, Jiya! What did you say?"

"..." The Beta could tell there was something wrong in those words, yet it would be useless to mention it over the phone right now.

So, she didn't do so as she wasn't very good at dealing with people while having that kind of conversation with a physical barrier between them.

... It would be better to do it later... When Elle was back in Mirror Night, back in their lands...

asked you when you will be back. Things seem to have gone a little crazy since you left us here, and Eddy misses you both terribly. So I'm afraid what kind of tragedy could happen at your house if you don't come back soon since he might end up driving your mother and stepfather crazy along with his young uncle too. And it may end with you not having a pup to welcome you when you came back."

Ironically, as much as Giselle knew that none of the people mentioned would be able to do something like that to the pup.

Yet, it was also correct to say that his uncle was someone Elle couldn't trust so much with the little one if Edward annoyed the teenager too much and no one else was there with them.

"Don't worry. I should be heading back tomorrow during the evening or early in the morning on the following day." The young Alpha wouldn't want to keep interrupting her friends and the other Pack with her problems without being invited there in the first place, so her words of going back soon were not a lie.

"Okay, then. I hope you're not lying to me." Despite trusting her future leader, Jiya eventually commented due to all the strange doubts that kept hanging over her head... "I'll let your family know as well that you're fine, so don't forget to text your mother and grandma later."

"Hmm. I will do that." Ending that conversation casually, it was all that Giselle answered her Beta before they said their goodbyes, and just as she placed her cell phone on the nightstand, the she-wolf heard the door open.

... Her footsteps were quiet as usual. However, at least this time, the Alpha was able to notice her presence before she surprised her...

"I never expected that a spell would work this fast. Thank you again for helping me." Without removing her eyes from her hands, she said to the Witch, stroking the finger, where she was now aware of something connecting her to her Mate.

"It is not as if you will never pay me for this, so in other words, there is no need for you to thank me again."

Placing what seemed to be a freshly made chicken soup by the scent next to Elle's phone, Winnie quickly corrected her, not wanting to feel as if she had done something for free for the Werewolf woman.

"The Gamma asked me to bring you this since she was a little busy in a video call with her Mate, but it was the Alphas' orders after they heard about what happened to you during the spell."

"They're so kind. I don't even know when I'll be able to thank them enough for all they've done for me despite how I showed up here so unexpectedly."

"Even if you wanted to spend half a year or a year here hiding from your Pack, I'm pretty sure these two wouldn't mind helping you with that since that's who they are. Coleman may not have the best reputation among the Supernatural Beings due to their past, and the same can also be said about Alpha Liam, but it doesn't mean they're bad Alphas."

… He was once broken, just like his Mate Jordan. But honestly, they were both good leaders for Coleman, and that was exactly what was going through Winnie's mind when she said such words to Giselle…

"I know... I still remember how they welcomed us with open arms when I first came here, accompanying Noah, who was trying to win over Ria then, and I can hope Mirror Night to be like this in the future... A nice and welcoming Pack, not mattering who becomes our Alpha."
