CHAD’S POV I couldn’t believe Amber and after what she had just told me I couldn’t even stand to be around her. How could she be so reckless? She was the one who said to me that drinking blood was not a risk that she was willing to take, she said that drining blood would be a wrong decision and asured me that she wouldn’t do it. She convinced me that I had nothing to worry about as far as her vampire cravings were concerned and now I didn’t even know what to do to help her. The worst part about this situation was that she had watched me as I fecthed the doctor and let me do it despite knowing that there was nothing that the doctor could do to help her, and now the damn doctor couldn’t let tgis thing go. He knew that she wasn’t feeling well and he wouldn’t stop asking me about how she was doing. I couldn't just blow him off and I aslo couldn’t tell him what was wrong with her. I didn’t want anyone gossiping about my mate and me.“So how is Amber doing?” Jeff asked me and I almost roll

CHAD’S POV I honestly didn’t know what was wrong with Amber anymore, I had given her the blood that she had been craving for and yet it seemed that her condition only worsened after a few hours. I had even spent a few hours with her in bed thinking that she would now be fine but we were now back to square one and she was now unconscious. It seemed to me that I stead of the blood making her feel better it had instead made her condition worse and I was kind of mad at myself. I had gone hunting for an animal so that I could get blood for her because my worry was that she would starve the baby that was supposed to be growing in her belly. I was now lost and confused I didn’t know what else to do to help her, I had gotten her the blood that I thought she needed but it seemed that the blood never helped her in any way. I knew that it was time for me to seek help from someone else, someone that I knew would tell me what to do and someone I knew I could rely on. The only person I knew that c

CHAD’S POV “Look man, I know that you are very stressed out and worried about your mate but you can't just make impulsive decisions,” Jeff said”Didn’t you hear what the doctor said?” I asked him pointing at the doctor who was now sitting on the bed in silence “he said she won't make it” ”No I didn’t say that, I simply said that her body was shutting down,” he said as if there was any difference between him saying that Amber’s body was shutting down and him saying that she was going to die. The inevitable thing that would follow her body shutting down was the fact that she would soon die. I didn’t see the point of him trying to give me false hope when he knew very well that there was a huge chance that my mate wasn’t going to live through this. “Well is there anything else that you can do?” I asked him even though I already knew the answer to my question “There isn't much that I can do because she refuses to take any form of medication,” he said “That is why I am saying that you

CHAD’S POV I couldn't believe what I was hearing from the witch that had come to help us. I knew that the blood that had been given t Amber was the cause of all of this but I could never have guessed that the blood was poisoned. I mean, we all thought that it was obvious that she was suffering from withdrawal symptoms, but I could see that it seemed like there was something more to it. Something that even my own doctor couldn’t see, not that I could blame him for not seeing it, but he had been as puzzled about this as I had been and now everything was starting to make sense. There was no way that I was going to just take this lying down, someone had to pay for this and I was about to make sure that I found whoever did this. They all had to pay for what they had done to my mate and I was going to make sure that I made them all pay. I was going to ignore the fact that my mate had ties to them in the same way that they had forgotten that the vampire that they had been trying to poison an

CHAD’S POV Now that all the loose ends had been tied I could breathe a little easier, the girl who had tried to end my mate was dead and I could rest better knowing that she was safe. Amber was now back to herself and everything was finally going well for us. For a minute there I had started thinking that maybe it was best if I let her go, I knew that letting her go wouldn’t give me any more peace than staying with her would. I had been miserable for such a long time I had forgotten what it felt like to be happy I had even forgotten what it felt like to make love to my mate. I couldn’t wait for us to get back to our usual routine. I really hoped that Amber had learned something from this thing that we had just dealt with. I hoped that she learned that she couldn’t just trust anyone so easily, especially vampires. They had proven to her and to me that they couldn’t be trusted countless times and I really didn’t want to be dealing with something like this ever again. I actually just wa
