Alpha Kaden's Chosen Mate

A faint

~ISRA~

I was on the cold ground and was shivering, I managed to crawl and get the blanket. Covering my body with it. I curled in the corner of the room when I felt couldn’t take the pain anymore.

It felt as if I was gonna freeze to death, though I wasn’t taken to the storage room. I won’t have survived the night in there, and Mrs Joan won’t want to listen to any excuses that I was sick.

She won’t even want to believe it until I have collapsed in front of her, that’s only when she will believe it, else she wasn’t gonna believe anything that I say to her. I had managed to get up in the morning and made her coffee before she requested it. I made breakfast and served it in the dining and I came back to the basement, at night the door was locked in, and in the morning it was opened by the guard. I didn’t know why Mrs Joan saw every reason to have me locked in the basement every night like some sort of criminal.

I have never wondered about my past or my parents or what happened to me and why I ended up this way. I wasn’t bothered about it, If I wasn’t abandoned, my parents would’ve come to look for me but they didn’t. I had just two speculations, they could either be dead or they left me and moved on with their life.

Why should I look for them if that was the case?

I shook my head.

I won’t do that. They could’ve been happy without me and didn’t want me in their life. Who would want a mute girl that couldn’t speak? Maybe that’s why they pushed me away so I could be found by the Weather family.

My headache was starting to get worse, and I couldn’t get up from there. I hope Mrs Joan doesn’t ask for anything else, I might end up falling and it won’t be a good sign because I might pass out and will be taken to the hospital.

They didn’t know that I had my wolf yet. If I go to the hospital, she would want me to get checked, and several needles will be pierced into my body.

The window in the basement which is my room couldn’t be closed. It was halfway open, and the other side was covered with a plank.

I groaned and touched my forehead. I had to take care of myself because no one else would, and they didn’t care about it.

No one would come to the basement to check on me and if I had gone to school with or not. They didn’t care about any of that.

One of my dreams was to find my mate and leave the house, and it was becoming more difficult than I thought with my mate being Kellan, I felt dumbstruck.

There was nothing I could say or do to make him like me or accept me as his mate.

I couldn’t tell if he knew about the bond or if he was trying to avoid it.

I stood up from the ground, and went to the bed, and lay down on it.

I exhaled deeply, my body felt weak. I tried to close my eyes but it wasn’t working and get some sleep but because of the discomfort that I felt I wasn’t able to get the sleep that I needed.

I covered my whole body with the blanket and breathed out deeply.

I turned and faced the wall when I heard the car drive out of the compound, I knew Stacy had gone to school and I was here barely able to lift a finger.

I couldn’t tell how long I stayed in bed, and when I felt the warm hands touch me, the blanket was pulled away from my face. I squinted my eyes and rubbed them when I saw someone in the room with me.

Kellan?

What was he doing here? Or this was some dream?

“Hey. I will take you to the hospital. You’re burning up, it took me a while before I could wake you. I thought something bad had happened.” His hand was on my forehead, and I narrowed my eyes at me.

Was I seeing things now? That I was seeing Kellan of all people in my basement room.

I was truly sick.

There’s no way he would be here.

“f**k. Can you stand or sit up? I will get something more...” He glanced around quickly as if he was looking for something. I narrowed my eyes at him, and he took off his jacket and wore it on my body.

“I am taking you to the hospital.” He tricked me, and I pushed his hands away.

Why would he take me to the hospital, I don’t even know who that was or what exactly was happening, my sight was getting blurry as I tried to stand from the bed.

“Who are you?” I managed to speak, and my voice sounded like a whisper. I reached out and touched his face, my hand lingered on his face for a while.

He held me because I could hold myself.

“You will find out soon after you get treatment. I can’t leave you down here, I will take you out with me.”

“Are you for real?” I asked, and he exhaled. My hand dropped from his face, and I fell back on the bed, his hand went to the back of my head protecting me from hitting my head against the wall beside it.

“I’m taking you out.”

“Kellan! What do you think you’re doing?” I heard loud voices but couldn’t make out what they were saying.

I was in someone’s arms, and we were taking the stairs, and my headache got worse.

I couldn’t think of anything or see anything anymore.

Darkness took over me completely.
