Chapter 7 - My savior

The ambulance arrived in ten minutes' time and by that time Rio had regained much of his consciousness. Weirdly so he kept peering at him with that look in his eyes. He couldn't describe what that was though.

The emergency workers pulled out and stretcher and loaded up mister annoying Rio. And as the person who was going to accompany him, Ezra had to join him in the back.

before climbing in, he hesitated.

Ezra handed the epi-pen to them. "This is enough, right? You guys can take him to the hospital,"

The male nurse gave him a weird look. "sure, but aren't you accompanying your friend?"

"I….."

The onlooker's eye focused on him. sighing he had no other option but to get in.

He sat on the uncomfortable wooden stood glancing at the eyesore lying on the stretcher.

Rio Velveta was looking his way again. this time with a smile. "I thought you would walk away. What made you decide to save me."

"I must have gone crazy because of too much sun exposure. Or else why would I save you?"

He subtly spotted Rio's smile disappearing.

"Who asked you to save me? These onlookers would have done a fine job without your help,"

"Yeah right." He refused to look his way after that. taking his phone out he subtly snapped a photo and sent it to Mateo. 'This maggot is annoying me so much. Can we just go back in time and kill him,'

The reply came in a second.

'There is no medicine for regret my friend. You saved him like a knight in shining armor and now you have to face the torture that is to follow.' Mateo even attached a small gif of a cat dancing on someone's grave. 'oh, my uncle is asking to help him out in his store.'

'you ass! you're deserting me!"

'My ass? Check out your ass. It's as flat as my tire,'

Ezra chuckled softly. 'Well, your tits are bigger than Gina's'

'ahhhh! Don't talk about my sensitive tits!' Mateo sent it with a fire emoji.

He couldn't control his laugh.

The two male emergency responders gave him a dirty look.

"sorry… my friend is crazy." he whispered chuckling to himself. He lowered his head and continued chatting with that crazy mofo.

The city hospital was quite close to the park, so it didn't take long for them to reach there. This place had four floors. The first two floors dealt with humans and the top two dealt with werewolves. Since many members of the pack were accomplished doctors and the pack needed their support This hospital was established for that reason. plus, they get to stay close to their pack.

it was a win-win for the town as well as for the pack.

Rio was rolled up to the fourth floor where he was administered even more medicine for his allergic reaction.

He, on the other hand, had nothing to do. He played around with his phone. he even took a walk around the place. It was filled with old pack members that were familiar with and a few of the Velveta pack members as well. weirdly so they seem very peaceful here.

No one fought each other.

It was kind of a safe spot, just their school.

"Excuse me. sir, excuse me." a young nurse ran after him.

Ezra pointed to himself doubtfully. "Me?"

"Yes, you came with your friend, right? We have administered medicines for him. he is currently sleeping. oh, when he wakes up, he might be slightly dazed. it's completely normal. don't worry about it."

"So, the maggot lived. Good to know," he mumbled under his breath

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing." he smiled slightly

The nurses' expression distorted slightly. "You can accompany him if you want,"

"No, I want to leave."

"Sir, we can't allow you to. Until his legal guarding comes along, we need to stay with him. it's just so that we can get your consent if in case of emergencies,"

Ezra's brows frowned deeply. "I thought you said he was out of the woods,"

"He is, for now. He needs to be under observation for two days. Just… please stay with him for a while until his father gets here. please,"

Ezra sighed. He really couldn't say no to a woman. He nodded and walked back to the patient's room.

Rio was already out of it and was completely unconscious. He sat beside him on a small uncomfortable stool.

'why do I have to sit here? it's boring.. wait.. this Is also community service, right? I am in servitude of this guy.. yeah yeah. I don't have to clean up trash. Maybe this is not a bad thing after all,' he grinned like a Chelsie cat and put his leg on the bed.

"Say Rio, why are you like a maggot," he gently kicked his legs under the sheet.

Rio did not move at all.

"Who knows, maybe you grew up eating trash. maybe that's why you are like a maggot. always trying to feast on someone's leftovers. It's so disrespectful man," he once again kicked him.

The privacy screen was pulled open and a nurse glaringly came in. she pushed his legs off the bed. "Stop kicking the patient,"

Ezra peered at her. He did not recognize her at all. That could only mean that she was Rio's pack member. "What? Protective of your future alpha?"

The young woman simply glared at him.

"Well, you have to be VERY thankful because your future alpha is alive because of MOI. So, I can keep my foot wherever I want to," he placed his foot on the bed kicking Rio's leg out of the way.

The nurse gritted her teeth and walked away.

'Velveta pack is so annoying. Maybe they are all like this maggot'

Ezra had nothing to do but to play with his phone but that too was disturbed by the low battery signal. He shut his phone down and sat down sighing. 'it's annoying…' he peered at Rio's face. 'it's all because of you, bastard and here you are sleeping here so peacefully.'

Suddenly a villainous thought arose in his mind. he hurried out to the hallway at the doctor's board. He picked up the marker and ran back in.

Peering at Rio's fatigued face, he grinned widely.

"Hehe, it's time for a makeover… ill make you look soo handsome that even your own father might not recognize you," he started to scribble all over his face.

the marker was slightly dried up after drawing one part of the mustache.

"This thing is shit," he licked the tip. The sour taste threw him off guard for a second. "why the hell did I even lick it…. fuck," he extended his tongue trying to get a good look where the marker had left behind a stain.

When all of a sudden, a hand gripped his tongue.

Eye wide open, he peered down.

Rio's green eyes shone slightly "your tongue's longue….. how long.." he mumbled with a giddy smirk.

Ezra hurriedly pushed his hand off and wiped at his tongue. "Why do you care how long it is."

Rio was probably high from all the meds. he had a delirious look on his face still as he tried to grab onto his tongue again. "tongue… long, very long....."

He pushed his hand away.

'Wait this is my chance. He is fucking silly and high. I can get a hood blackmail material out of him.'

He pulled out his phone and started to record him. "Hey Rio, look here. show everyone your handsome face," he pulled his chin and made him ace the camera.

Rio just grinned cutely.

Ezra froze. 'Did I just think he was cute? This maggot is cute? Fuck no!' he let go of his chin. He continued to draw on his face.

Rio was surprisingly very obedient.

This threw him off guard slightly.

By the end, his artwork looked spectacular. Rio was left with a huge eye patch and an ugly mustache with a few moles drawn on his cheeks. "There, what a beauty, hehe…"

Rio glanced his way with a cheerful smile. "yes….."

Ezra took a few more embarrassing photos with him and sent them to Mateo.

The phone rang instantly. "Dude, you are a genius. Do you want me to print these and post them around the campus?"

"yeah, that could work… but everyone will think he is cute?"

Once again Ezra was completely stunned by his own words. He slapped his mouth. "just put it off. this is our blackmail material."

Mateo groaned. "you're no fun,"

"Oh yeah, the last time you pulled a prank this guy ended up in a hospital half dead. Mateo let's tone down our revenge plan down a notch."

"boohoo…" his best friend cut the call.

Sighing, Ezra peered at Rio's hilarious face. a small chuckle escaped his lips. "You do not look that annoying like this. maybe you should start painting your face like a mime. Maybe I will have a good impression of you then,"

Rio just blinked his green eyes at him. "hmmm…"

Right then, the door banged open.

A tall blond man walked in with a deep frown. the air around him was so strong and intimidating.

His light green eyes focused on him. "What did you do to him?" he growled.

Ezra froze over. Th intimating air of an alpha completely held him in place. He could barely even breathe. Even so, he gritted his teeth and calmed his face. "Your son got stung by a bee. Why are you glaring at me? in fact, I saved his ass."

Alpha Velveta growled even louder.

the force that was holding him down intensified.

Ezra gasped softly, griping the bed frame. 'I can't show my weakness. I can't show my weakness!'

A warm hand suddenly touched his palm.

That overwhelming force disappeared in just a second.

Rio deliriously smiled at him. "My savior ~"
