“So... I heard he found you in the woods."

"He did," I replied simply as I continued to sip my tea casually. Amaya was sitting in front of me, studying me intently. It made me uncomfortable, but I didn't show it. She had come in a few minutes ago, bringing some foreign tea and acting extremely weird, like staring at me inspectingly, almost like she was searching for something.

"What?" I finally had enough of the nerve-wracking stare.

"What's your relationship with him?" She sounded curious.

"Who?"

"You know who."

"It's none of your business. Guard," I emphasized on the “guard”, subtly reminding her of her place. She wasn't my friend; she was only here to protect me till Grayson called. Her eyes darkened at my words, and she stood up from her seat and pinned me with a hard stare.

“Oh, I'm sorry, princess, I only assumed I was doing my job," she said, sarcasm dripping off every word.

"By selling me out?"

"I didn't sell you out, I only told him what was necessary

    “Amy," I whispered, the pain in my head limiting me. "Hey. You've been hiding in here ? Why ? Who's hurting you ?" I had so many questions. "Jasmine. What took you so long?" She whispered. She got closer, I could feel her settle beside me, could hear her silent shuffling. The room got colder. "It's freezing in here," I glanced around, still unable to see anything in the dark room. I hugged my arms close as my teeth chattered. The room still had that eerie feeling that made the hairs on my skin stand. "You'll get used to it. I did," she murmured. "You left me, you forgot me," her voice broke. "I waited, Jasmine." "Hey, hey," my voice trembled in desperation. "I didn't. I've been trying to find you. They told me you didn't exist." My head felt heavier. “Why?" "Because they've forgotten. They've forgotten. They don't care, no one does." "I do," I whispered. “Yes, you do. People like us, people who are different, we have no choice but to stick by each other." I swallowed hard,

    I held his gaze till he glanced away, casting his eyes down. I took a step back, looking back at Amaya in defeat. Beside Ciro stood a small man, his beard grey, an evidence of his long years on Earth. "Jasmine. How're you feeling?" Ciro took a step forward, cupping my face in his palm. "Are you okay?" His eyes searched mine. "I..." I brought my hands up to hold his, staring up at his beautiful eyes. "Ciro..." my lips wobbled, a new wave of tears threatening to break free. “You saw her too, didn't you ? I'm not crazy. You know." I was begging. He had to have seen her. There's no way I could've imagined her, no way I could've. I spoke to her. I heard her voice. I'm not crazy. I saw his eyes fill up, then he let go of my face, pulling me closer. It was all the answer I needed. He didn't see her. No one did. I held onto him, completely breaking down in his arms. Why ? Why are things always different with me? "It's okay. Everything is going to be okay," he reassured. "I'm here.

    The beeping was the first thing I heard before I opened my eyes. Steady, annoying, loud. The heart monitor. I opened my eyes, the light bright was blinding. It made my head hurt. I groaned. My body ached, like I had been hit by a train. My lips were chapped, my throat dry. I was in the hospital. Again. I had passed out. Again. Then it hit me. Everything that happened, Amy. I tried to sit up but the pain was crippling. I settled down back in my bed, glancing around for help. Then I noticed her. Amaya. She was standing right outside my door, speaking to a figure I couldn't see. The person was out of my line of sight. I tried to make out what they were saying but gave up. They were too far away. Amaya's gaze caught mine through the glass door. Her eyes were lifeless, cold. She nodded at the person, without taking her eyes off me for a second. It made me uncomfortable. "Hey Jas," she greeted the moment she entered the room. "How're you feeling?" Her voice was low, sad. She s

    It sounded familiar, I couldn't place my finger on it but it was there, at the back of my mind. Ciro looked at me, expectant. I ignored him, feeling a sense of urgency to know where the scream came from, who it was from. I pushed past him, following the sound. My head hurt. "Where are you going?" He was hot on my heels, his hands swaying as he spoke, his frustration clear as day. "Following the sound. I need to find her." I answered, distracted, focused on finding it. “What sound?” His tone was exasperated. I ignored him. I didn’t have time for this. I heard it again, louder this time. It was a female. She sounded like she was in pain. My gaze swept the room, noticing no one was doing anything. They were going about their day like someone wasn’t obviously in trouble. It pissed me off. “Jasmine, slow down.” He grabbed my hand. I tried to pull away, but I couldn’t. My body was weak, I was weak. I shivered, a sudden cold hitting me. I pulled at my arm, frustrated. I needed to ge

    I chipped at my food mindlessly, my thoughts preoccupied with Ciro. I woke up this morning feeling a tad bit better, so I decided to have lunch downstairs with the other pack members. Most people I came into contact with bowed their heads respectfully and kept their distance. It felt lonely. I found myself wanting, needing someone to speak to me, to distract me from the thoughts of my mate. The only friend I had was Amaya, and she was somewhere, probably having fun with other worriers while I wallowed in self-pity. I wanted her to have fun, but I also needed my friend. Ciro hadn't shown his face since our conversation yesterday. I sighed. I thought we were making progress, thought we had a bond, but I guess the truth of my health was too much for him to handle. I wondered how he'd react when he finds out about why we're on the run and who my parents really are. I sighed once again and gave up on having breakfast. I knew I wouldn't be able to eat anything with the emotional turmoil

    Whenever I had episodes, I'd always wake up in my hospital bed feeling a little better, but this time, I felt worse, and I wasn't in my hospital bed or in any hospital bed for that matter. I was in Ciro's bed. His scent was all over the place, soothing me. But even that wasn’t enough; it couldn't ease the pain in my head. I cursed whoever made me this way. I groaned and tried to get up when the door was pushed open to reveal my mate staring at me with a worried frown. "Don't move," he commanded while gently closing the door and walking towards me. “Water," I croaked out, cringing at the sound of my unattractive raw voice. He held out a glass of water I hadn't noticed was sitting on the bedside table next to me. I took it gratefully and gulped it greedily. “Thanks." "You okay?" He asked worriedly. “Yeah," I nodded. He didn't say anything, just sat opposite me and eyed me warily. I sighed and crawled to him, straddling him. I wrapped my hands around him while he buried his
