LOVE ME AGAIN MATE By Katie Spheres

Chapter 56

Ana.

I groan opening my eyes and shut them back fast. I am lying on a soft and warm surface in contrast to what I woke up before.

Adjusting my eyes to the light in the room, I slowly sit up being careful of my aching b*dy. Where is this place? I wonder staring at the wooden walls and floors.

Goddess! My dad.

I force myself up and walk out of the door to see if my dad is there. The last thing I remember was Jace carrying me to the car after the explosion. Since my wolf isn’t awake yet, I can’t use my senses to locate his scent.

I walk to the next room and gently push the door open. We are in an unfamiliar cabin from what I can see. I have never been to this place before.

I sigh in relief when I spot him on the bed and quickly walk toward him. My father is still unconscious but what gives me hope, is his slow breath and the faint heartbeat. I don’t know how much poison they fed him but I’m sure if we get medication to subdue the effect of the wolfsbane, he will wake up in no time.

I hold my dad’s hand in mine and press it to my chest. I pray he gets up soon. I miss him so much, and being out here with nowhere to go scares me a lot. We need to find a way to reach the silver pack unnoticed. I am sure Jace’s dad will help.

Goddess! I look like shit. I have never felt this d*rty before.

“You are awake?” I look at the door where my mate is approaching with a duffel bag in his hands. “I am sorry you have to go through this, sweetheart” Jace whispers, pressing a k*ss on my forehead. Unlike my dad and I, Jace is already washed up and changed to clean clothes.

Where did he get those?

“What is this place, Jace?” I curiously ask, wondering if it is that man’s house too.

“We are in the middle of the wilderness, but on silver pack grounds. I built this place to escape home when you left” He murmurs avoiding my eyes and I nod.

“We need to find medicine for my dad, can we also bring my son here?”

“News about our death is everywhere Ana, we can’t risk being seen especially when we don’t have our wolves yet. Let Liam stay with our dad for a while, until at least we can recover and we can fight”

“After I brought you here, I sneaked home and brought us some necessities. Only my dad knows about us and he gave us some medical supplies to use for a while. He will be here any time from now with more medicine for Noah. But now, we need to start with what we have” My mate says and I quickly nod reaching for the bag but hiss in pain when severe pain in my ribs stops me.

Being human is useless.

“Careful, baby, I will take care of you” Jace pushes me back on the bed and opens the bag full of medical supplies. My heart calms when I watch him mix the medicines and slowly inject them into my dad’s b*dy.

It’s just a matter of time before my dad will be strong again and no one will ever touch us again. When that b*tch is gone, I wouldn’t have to worry about my son’s safety.

“Your turn” My mate whispers and gently injects me with the same liquid and I sigh in relief. “Come, I will clean you up” He whispers lifting me in his arms and back to the room I woke up from.

“Why are you still strong?” I wonder staring at his b*dy. Apart from scratches from yesterday, Jace is perfectly fine.

“During the Alpha training, our bodies were trained to endure the wolfsbane and silver. I can also take a good beating and still survive Ana. Unlike Noah, we were locked for a day only, and that is not enough

wolfsbane to keep me down” I have seen Jace fight. His wolf is also different from the normal wolves. Jace strength and size surpass that of the alpha wolf and now that he seems not affected by wolfsbane like normal wolves are expected to, I find it suspicious.

I also realized Liam is growing way too fast compared to the normal Alpha kid. Liam is more smart than a mere two-year-old. Is there something about Jace that I don’t know about, or is it just his luck?

“What are you thinking about?” My mate whispers, carefully taking off my clothes before tossing them away. There is no bathtub here but I am grateful for the shower even though the water is cold.

“How will we save the others? You know we can’t just leave them in her claws” He applies soap on the sponge and gently scrubs my b*dy. I never imagined myself spending a night in such a d*rty cell.

“We need to heal first. My dad said the witch would arrive today. I am sure they can help us in the healing process of your dad, also, with their help, we can infiltrate the royal pack unnoticed” So that’s how Leo used to enter in and out of the royal pack without being caught. People will go to any lengths for power. “I still don’t understand why that man saved us” My mate’s hands freeze for a second when I mention my mother’s mate but quickly recovers and resumes washing my b*dy. I noticed that Jace.

He is hiding something from me. And here I thought there won’t be secrets between us anymore.

Goddess! I hope this one won’t ruin us again. I remain quiet as I let him repeatedly wash my hair. When I am clean enough to his taste, Jace brings me back to the room and dries my b*dy. I silently watch him apply lotion and cream to my wounds. Jace dresses me warmly and afterward, he silently excuses himself to go and make breakfast.

With a sigh, I walk back to my dad’s room and take his hand in mine again. I will ask Alpha to clean him up when he gets here. I don’t want him to cringe when he wakes up in this manner.

After long minutes of staring at my father, the long-awaited miracle happens. Jace’s father arrives accompanied by a foreign man, and I longingly peek behind them in case he came with Liam. My son is probably wondering why his mum left him.

“Oh! honey. I am sorry I couldn’t protect you, baby” My adoptive father rushes to me and I quickly get up to meet him in a warm embrace.

“It’s not your fault, Dad. We will find justice” My mate remains in the doorway and the other guy walks to my dad.

“How is my baby doing, does he miss me?” I eagerly ask him with hopeful eyes.

“The little guy is doing fine Ana. He keeps asking for you and Jace and I am doing everything to make sure he is comfortable” I hope we recover quickly before the queen remembers I had a son.

“He is heavily poisoned Alpha. His wolf is barely alive and if he doesn’t get immediate help, we might lose him” The guy says and we avert our attention back to him. “I don’t know how you will do it, but we need a doctor in here ASAP”

“Aren’t you a doctor?” I whisper inching close to my dad.

“I am the witch honey, and things are about to get messy in this kingdom. We need him up at all costs. Only he will defeat her”
