Chapter Fourteen

Third Person's POV

David's hand went to his forehead as he groaned in pain. His eyes flickered and he grimaced as his eyes adjusted to the bulb lightening the room he was in. As his eyes adjusted to darkness, he saw his brother Nicholas looking at him worriedly.

“Brother mine, you are awake."

“Aargh."

David struggled to sit on the bed that he was placed in and when he finally did, he looked at his brother again.

" How did I get here?”

Nicholas smiled dryly at him

" A maid told me that you fainted when you reached the top of the stairs, so I ordered her to bring you in.”

David's hand went to his forehead and he groaned again, “My head", he hissed, “It hurts really bad."

“Maybe we should call the pack doctor."

“No, no. It's no big deal. I think it's because I've been stressed out with all the kidnappings going on in our pack."

“Don't push yourself too hard, I believe in you."

David managed to smile at his brother's words as his hand was still on his head.

“Thanks."

Nicholas laughed dryly and smirked

“Anything for my little brother."

*****

David staggered into his room with his hand still on his head, as he reached his bedside, he brought himself down slowly to sit on the ground and went on to rummage his bedside drawers to find some painkillers.

He sighed in relief when he found one pill left and threw it into his mouth gulping down a bottle of water he took from his bedside table before lying down on the floor.

Suddenly Mia came into his room with hastened steps and quickly sat beside him.

“David, is everything alright?"

“Nah, I just have a little headache."

Mia instantly became worried as her hand travelled to his head and she caressed his forehead gently.

“Is it serious? Should I tell your father to send for the pack doctor?"

David chuckled softly

" It's nothing. I took a pill that Edison normally gives me when I have this kind of headache.”

Mia raised an eyebrow at him

" Edison? Who is that?”

" That's the name of the pack doctor- Edison. I normally used to have this kind of headache a lot as a child. I don't understand them at all but the pill is working. The headache is gradually going away.”

Mia heaved a sigh of relief

" Bless the moon goddess.”

They were quiet for a while before David asked,

" By the way, what are you here for?”

Mia's eyes brightened as she began to speak to him again

“You remember when I told you that I was going to your family's library to check on something?"

David frowned but Mia continued

“Well here's what I found about your father's ex lover's type of powers and I also found some…”

David sat up abruptly as he said,

“Wait, wait, wait. What are you talking about? When did you meet me to discuss going to our family's library room?", David questioned.

“In the evening after we found Kevin and your mother told us that your father had an ex-lover”, Mia said with urgency.

Mia looked at David with narrowed eyebrows as he said, “My father had an ex-lover?"

Mia was already getting impatient as she squeezed her hands together and said firmly, “YES, YOUR MOTHER TOLD US IN THE ROSE GARDEN, CAN'T YOU REMEMBER.”

David was quiet as he replied, " I really can't remember us talking to my mother today.”

Mia lost her temper as she said, “Are you kidding right now?"

David frowned at her words and replied, “I should be the one asking you as I can't recall anything. I have a good memory, you can ask father.”

Mia went silent

“Did you not go to talk to your father", she finally spoke.

David, already thinking that Mia was kidding, laughed and said, " Mia, Mia. After we both went to see Kevin, I left you there with father and Kevin's wife and then went up to see my brother but I fainted and found myself in his bed.

Mia's eyes widened in shock and she was about to say something when Gordon barged in.

“David, I'm sorry but you must come quickly. There is a problem with the omegas, a very big problem. They are revolting."

David quickly stood up and dragged Mia along with him to follow Gordon.
