“What in hell did you say happened to her? Why isn't she breathing..?” his voice was just as thick, sending waves of fear to slowly creep in the entirely silenced room.
No one was speaking. No body wanted to speak. Who would?
Something about the way Sebastian voiced out his anger wasn't new but however, there was no way they'll say it didn't leave an impact.
"Look, Sebastian, you have to let them do their thing. She'd be alright." Del stepped in to say. She alone at this point could stop the monster that would at any point in time blow into a rage. She had seen him grow and become the Alpha he is, but however.. his anger issues are never to be described.
Sebastian raked his hand into his perfectly trimmed hair that already was past his shoulders. His eyes blazed red as he watched his mate's unmoving body on the emergency bed.
It was all because of those damn rogues, they were the cause of Elle's current state.
Earlier that morning, they had run into an argument where she had accused him of not giving her his attention. The same woman that he was ready to risk all for, complaining about how his attention was only on the pack but not on her. Sebastian had thought it was only just a minor but seeing her like this..! It broke him.
“She's going to be alright. Right? She'd smile again even after our fight, right Del?" He growled angrily at himself. It was still hard to picture how a perfect morning turned out to be this monstrous. Those damned rogues had begin to attack again and like Elle complained, he left her to attend to them. Sh*t! If only he had known better that she was sick at first place. If only he had spent time with her and not the other way round.
“lets hope it's not deep. She would be fine.” Del answered, dragging him out of the room. Goddess knows if he should remain in the room, they wouldn't be able to run a treatment.
“D..did you see her?” the words of his mouth choked as tears wanted to pour their way out. Del watched, mouth opened at the question he asked and at how he choked in his own words. Sebastian? Ferndale's pack ruler, the ruthless ever known Alpha.. wanting to shed tears!? It was surprisingly surprising. They waited long after his parents died to get this much emotions from him. To make him care again but it proved to be ineffective till he finally found his Luna. That young woman that didn't have to do much before stealing his heart. His mate, his family. But here they are, because he is still very much the same Sebastian that she watched since little, he failed to keep her.
He failed to extend the care that the monster in him has claimed. He failed to protect her, to know her.
“S.. she is..” Del started, not knowing how to break it down to this man that found his understanding way too late but before she could utter anything else, Hamden came rushing in at them with worry etched at his forehead.
Sebastian's head snapped at the sight of him. The once brooding, grieving Alpha was now back to being mean.
“What is it..?” he roared, staring deep at the young man that was still not able to catch his breath.
“Alpha Neon. He sent back the peace treaty we signed with war. Albanon is half destroyed, your highness.” Hamden explained breathlessly. The looks on his face was dead and devoid of anything other than worry. Albanon is just a small town in Ferndale. People living there are the weak and poor, the least privileged among all Werewolves scattered round Ferndale. A town that he saw his Elle.
It seems that these people were now back with full force to revenge their loss. They seem to have forgotten who he is and just how much authority he commands. That he is Sebastian Reigns!
His knuckles turned white with how hard he clenched. If he had been calm and broken before, then every trace of being calm or broken was gone. Del who stood by his side could only watch in silence. Was it the right time to tell him about his Luna? Is he going to take it well? Should she just bid him well till he returns..?
“Why are you just telling me? Are they dead yet or alive..?" Sebastian bawled, his teath meeting themselves in a gnash.
“Maybe because you have something more important than going into a war.” Del found herself speaking out after much restraint.
With eyes stretcged out, Sebastian couldn't believe he was about leaving Elle to go into war. Won't she understand? She'll come home later and they'll settle it all. Right..? His eyes was now with too much of emotions as he thought about it.
“Did you even love her?” Del asked, using a past tense word. “Did she ever exist or did you just take her so you could rule.?”
“We can always talk about this when she's awake. Del. The matter at hand is more in need of solution and her's…. She found it.” Sebastian tried explaining. Of course, the park needs him. For once and for all, he needs to stop that bastard that now had guts to attack his territory so he could finally settle with Elle. His sweet Elle.
“I doubt you would settle anything with her, Sebastian. I doubt you can even have that chance.” Del said; her eyes looking anywhere but his. His hot gaze peirced through her soul, reading her worries and thoughts that she felt bare at his presence.
“And what is that supposed to mean? That I won't have a chance.? Is that what Elle told you? Is she still angry..!?”
“No Sebastian. A dead person would never be angry.” Del answered. “You failed to keep her because she's dead.”
