Amalthea's POV
"Here, you haven't eaten anything since yesterday." Callum held out a cup of coffee and a muffin to me."Thanks but I'm not hungry," I told him as I leaned back in my chair."You need to eat something Thea, this isn't good for you." Callum tried but I shook my head adamantly."Those nurses and the pack doctor have been in there all night and they haven't come out to tell us how Nick is doing. I don't know if he's better or he's losing his life so the last thing on my mind right now is food Call," I explained to him."Stop pretending like you really care about him and take the food Thea, we get the whole sob act but it's getting old." Mikayla sneered at me and my wolf snapped."What exactly is your problem?" I growled at her."My problem is that Nick is hurt because of you and all you seem to be able to do is cry and play the victim," she retorted with equal heat."I didn't hurt Nick, you don't even know what happened yetNicholson's POV I stared down at Amalthea in my arms and I brushed a stray strand of hair out of her face. She was so beautiful and perfect and my heart ached with how much I loved her. She still had eyebags under her eyes and I could only imagine how worried she was when I was unconscious. I gently caressed her face but she didn't stir. A soft knock on my door diverted my attention and I told the person to come in.Callum strolled into the room, looking cleanshaven and I could tell he had just come out of the shower. He stopped in his tracks when he noticed Thea's little body wrapped around me and a small smile graced his face."What is it?" I asked in a whisper."We need to talk about something, Nic," Callum informed me and I sighed. Of course I knew I had work but I didn't want to let go of Thea, I could get used to waking up like this every morning."Wait for me in my office, I'll be right out." I said gruffly and he nodded
Amalthea's POV "Thea?" A voice called out to me as I absentmindedly swirled the cereal in my bowl."Jade," I rose from my chair as she approached me. She pulled me into her arms and hugged me tightly, whispering words of comfort into my ears."How are you holding up? I heard about Nic," she informed me and I sighed."I'm holding up as best as I can I guess," I shrugged as I slowly pulled away."Look at your eyes, you haven't gotten any sleep." She frowned at me as she gently caressed my face."How do any of you expect me to sleep? Anytime I close my eyes and try to get some sleep, the image of Nic bloodied and on the floor haunts my dreams." I told her in a small voice and she looked at me sadly."Hey, it's alright. Nic is going to be fine, it's just a matter of time alright?" She assured me but I knew she didn't know that...no one did and we would just have to wait for Nic to finally wake up on his own time."How did yo
Amalthea's POV I stared down at Nick through sleepy eyes and sighed. It had been three whole days and yet Nick was still yet to wake up. I couldn't take it anymore, I was beyond scared and a small part of my mind kept on telling me he wouldn't wake up and no matter how I tried to shut it out, it just wouldn't remain silent."You need to get some rest, Thea," Callum announced as he strolled into the room and I quickly wiped the tears on my cheeks before I turned to him."You've been crying," Callum noted in a sad voice and I shrugged."How do you expect me not to? He isn't getting any better Callum." I sniffled."But he's responsive and he hasn't had a fever since he got here, surely that means something." Callum pointed out as he walked towards me and I noticed Mikayla standing hesitantly at the door."I need him to wake up Callum, I'm slowly losing it and I need him to wake up." A sob raked through me and I turned back to look

Amalthea's POV "What happened to him?" Mikayla asked as men rushed towards us and took Nic out of our hands. Callum had no doubt mindlinked them ahead of time to get everything ready and I watched as they placed him onto the hospital bed and he was rolled into the clinic.I ignored Mikayla as I made to follow Nic but she blocked my path."What are you doing?" I growled but selooked unperturbed by my rage."What happened to Nic Thea? I tell you he went out, you follow after him and all of a sudden he comes back unconscious and injured while you are unharmed but covered in blood and the stench of rogues?" She gritted out and my wolf sneered within me."What are you trying to imply?" I asked darkly."You tell me Thea, what happened to Nic?" Mikayla asked."It's none of your business," I gritted out as I made to walk around her again but she held onto my hand in an iron grip."I trusted you Thea, I trusted you with Nic because I believed you loved h
Amalthea's POV Lightning struck and it thundered heavily in the distance as rain fell angrily outside the cave. It was cold and all that was left of the fire I had made were coals which would die out any minute. I was curled around Nic as I struggled to keep the cold from creeping into him.I stared down at his face as tears streamed down my face. He hadn't woken up and I was unsure what more I could do to help him."Nic? Nic you need to wake up," I called out to him as I patted his cheek gently but I got no response but I noticed his eyes twitch and a flame of hope lit inside me."Nic we need to find a way back to the pack house, you need help and I'm not strong enough to carry you." I told him as I suspected he could hear me and his lips parted."Thea," he whispered and his voice was so low I almost didn't catch his words."I'm here Nic, I'm right here." I called out to him as I cradled his upper body in my arms.I waited for him to speak but he r
