Chapter 58

Zyair pov

I was standing beside the bed in the room while she was being treated. This was why I didn’t want to tell her, didn't want her to know. I was scared of something like this happening.

“I thought you said won’t tell her.”

“She needs some rest and it would be best if we leave.” The physician said, I turned to Creamy and touched his shoulders and we left the room. We still have some things to talk about now that I’ve got the strength to. Sometimes I can get extremely weak and couldn’t lift a finger and sometimes I could get myself up and make a few conversations and such times were days like today.

“Meet me up later physician.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

“I didn’t want to tell her at first, but I couldn’t keep hiding it.” I coughed, I had the hanky beside me which was now always glued to me. I remembered the first time it happened and I coughed out blood in front of him. The panic on his face. He had lashed out at me like I was some dumb kid that didn’t know what he was doing. I knew he was worried and scared. At that time I was scared too that I was gonna die but then I remember I was Zyair. I shouldn’t be afraid of death.

I smiled at the memories, it was scary at first but then I’ve gotten to accept it. Because it was to help us.

We entered my study room and I sat down while he went to make coffee. I placed my head on the table, hitting them slightly. Deep in thought.

“Stop doing that.”

“Old habit dies hard,” I replied to him, he sighed dropping the coffee on the table. I lift my head and stare at him.

“I hate those eyes of yours I’m seeing right now.”

I smiled.

I hated it too but he knows I don’t fake it when I’m with him.

“We don’t have more time left,” I announced and he knew it.

“He said he was gonna do it..” he began. I was quick to get who he was in the sentence so I didn’t press further.

“...she won’t be aware of it, it would be about that time when we would be fighting Sean. And she won’t have to worry about him.”

I run my fingers alongside the tip of the cup.

“She won’t notice?”

“He won’t be fighting with us and she would be less busy to worry about him.”

“Who’s going with him?”

“Mark. I couldn’t go because I would be fighting with you neither could Franco we need to protect you..”

My head was down. Seems it was all settled I was just the one who was worried and the one who was sick because I had lost so much of my energy.

But I still wasn’t giving up until I was sure she would be fine. Even if I don’t see it happening anytime soon. I was still hoping for it.

Her safety.

I coughed hard, my chest hurts as I coughed.

I fell back from the chair. Creamy rushed towards me and held me, no medicine could stop it or prevent me from bleeding. So nothing could be done to stop it.

“It’s gonna be fine. I’ll save you.” He assures me, his hands going up and down my back. I knew Creamy would’ve got a plan if it didn’t work out as we planned. Or he already had one.

He pulled me up on my feet again.

“Why do we’ve to go this way?”

“You already know the reason why we did that.” I had the small towel in my mouth that he had given me a while ago. I was seated again. And creamy sat on the table next to me. We didn’t say anything for a while. And I was getting weaker to start another conversation which would always be the same thing. We weren’t even worried about the fight we would’ve had with Sean in a couple of days now. I don’t know how much they’ve prepared since I had been down those times.

“What’s the plan? What did Amaia say about the fight with Sean?”

“She said, we would attack first, give them a surprise attack at their strong points.”

“..and when we would that be?”

“Three days from now.”

“That means it’s ten days left.”

Creamy stared at me before he was able to get what I meant by ten days. It was a few days before the year ends and another begins, we can’t let her be twenty. She shouldn’t be twenty and still have the curse.

Then it would all end. It was just ten days we have left, three days before the war against moon pack and the remaining days to have her cure. And I don’t know what would happen to me then.

“..Alpha..?” The physician came into the room. Just about time, his coming in was sure to worsen the situation but I had my lips sealed about the fact that I knew what he was gonna say and let him say what he had found out.

“We kept us waiting for long.”

“I’m sorry Alpha. I had to search deeper and give accurate results.”

“Go on, We’re listening.”

He lift his head and stare at me, his eyes had pains in them which he didn’t try to hide. I was already ready for whatever he had to say so I could listen to him talk.

“I’m sorry, Alpha. I still couldn’t find anything that could cure you.” He fell to his knees. With his hands on the ground.

“Is that all?”

“..and it’s killing Alpha, it’s killing you inside. You’ve fewer days to live..”

“What!” Creamy jerked up from the table he was seating on. I was expecting something like that. But I didn’t expect that limited time. I was shocked as well but tried not to show it too much. We weren’t supposed to mate but I had to do it to save her, either way, you could say I diligently gave her my life, she was gonna kill me anyway in the future. I did this just to prevent that.

I don’t know if I was making sense but just to clarify my actions.

I just want her to live.

“What do you mean he has fewer days to live, how many days!” He yelled. The physician was shivering and wailing already.

“Five days.” He bawled.

I felt my heart sink.

“She mustn’t know about this!” I yelled.

“Are you stupid or what!” Creamy growled at me. The bastard growling at his alpha, has he forgotten it’s me?

“You still thinking about her, did you hear what he said, five days. Five fucking days left!”

“We’ve to hurry up with our plans then, and make everything work before then, we would attack immediately she wakes. We would hasten up with everything and there would...”

“What the fuck are you saying!” He screamed.

I clamped my lips shut. Creamy can be terrifying at times.

“What do you even think about me? It’s killing me more than you think! You don’t know how hard I’m trying, how I’m suffering. And what would happen if we couldn’t save it all? What would happen to me? You never thought of that.”

“You’ll be there to take care of Amaia if anything happens.”

“I didn’t pledge to save her or serve her. My life was yours from the beginning.”

With a last pained glance, he walked out of the room and bang the door hard. I cringe at the sound.

Coughed again.

The physician hurried to my side and gave me some concoction.

I held my chest as the blood Keep spilling out of my mouth without stopping.

“This would help a little.” He helped me take a sip from it. I leaned on the chair. Taking a deep breath. Creamy would come around, I know he was pissed off but he would come.

“Alpha..”

“Stop crying, I’m not dead yet.”

“You’re so strong Alpha.”

I chuckled. And wiped my lips.

“No one must know about this.”

“My lips are sealed.”

“If anyone asked.”

“You’re down with a cold.”

“Good.”

“She would be fine right?”

“She would, but I sensed something from her. She was way stronger than the first time I treated her. The energy from her this time was..”

“You should pretend you didn’t know anything about that.”

“Is there something wrong?”

“Just pray everything would be fine, if your medicine couldn’t work, your prayers should at least.”

“I’ll pray harder. Alpha.”

I pushed the chair back and stood up, he followed me out of the room. I went back to her room. The physician came with me, though he told us to leave her some time ago. I wanted to meet her now since Creamy was mad at me.

“You should leave us,” I told him, as I lay next to her on the bed. And cover ourselves with the duvet.

“Shut the door please.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

I shut my eyes and turned to face her while I try to sleep. As I turned, a prickle I’d tear fell out of the corner of my eye. And I smiled before I fell asleep.
