The Night Wolf novel Chapter 13

Melody could still remember the day a year back. It was still fresh in her mind. The terror she had felt, the hopelessness. She shuddered at the thought.

Melody tapped her brown boots on the ground in a sequence.

Tap tap. Tap tap tap. Tap tap. Tap tap tap.

She looked at her phone to check the time, just then a message popped up. It was from Jamie-Ray.

'come 2 d library' It said. The text looked quite rushed to Melody.

The library? Isn't Willow there? Fear gripped her, her tapping coming to a stop.

She received another message that said, 'quickly'.

She ran to the library. Please be alright Willow. She chanted in her mind.

She wondered why would Jamie-Ray of all would message her. She had his number, everyone did. Since they were of the same pack, the previous Alpha had insisted that everyone should have each other's numbers, in case of emergencies.

She pushed the door open making it hit with a 'bang', she didn't care if anyone would scold her, but no one did. No the tables were mostly empty. But the library was in chaos, she could hear noises from the right side of the library. She rushed to that direction just as she saw Jamie-Ray rushing out, carrying Willow in his arms, she faltered.

Willow was writhing in his arms, her eyes shut in pain.

"Willow?" Melody called out when she found her voice.

"It hurts!" Whispered Willow her voice filled with pain, she clutched onto her heart. "Make it stop please."

"Make what stop? Tell me Willow. Talk to me!" Melody sobbed out, trying hard to stop her tears.

"She's unconscious." Jamie-Ray said.

Jamie-Ray continued to walk out of the library, Melody hot in her heels.

Everyone else, went back to their seats and wherever they had been, as Melody walked out of the library, she couldn't even bring herself to close the door behind her.

Melody pulled the door to the infirmary open for Jamie-Ray to walk in. He placed Willow on the bed. She was still writhing. Melody held her hand as Jamie-Ray called out for the nurse.

"Willow," said Melody. "Please be alright. Please. Willow please."

Miss Parrish rushed in and took a look at Willow. "Is she alright?"

"Does she look alright to you?" Melody snapped at Miss Parrish.

"Calm down," said the nurse. "You're not exactly helping here."

The doctor arrived then, Melody didn't know how long they waited, since minutes seemed like hours. Jamie-Ray had stopped rubbing her back and was pacing back and forth.

The doctor, Mr.Vita, had soon got into action, he felt Willow's pulse, he then listened to what Miss Parrish had said.

Willow kept on murmuring not to leave her, and how painful she felt but she didn't take his name again, not once.

After what felt like hours, Mr. Vita gave Melody a pitying look. No no no. She didn't want to hear what he had to say.

"I'm sorry dear," Started Mr. Vita. "But the patient doesn't have much long."

"No please don't." Melody begged. "Please tell me that you are joking. Please."

He only stared at her with pity on his face. "You have to understand. Your friend here was rejected, the only one who can save her is her mate."

"How can you tell that she was rejected?" Melody yelled.

Rejection, was very rare. It wasn't unheard of though. What Melody didn't understand was why him? Why Hunter of all people? He was the worst of them all. All he cared about was drinking and girls, though he seems more responsible now, now that he was an Alpha, but still he wasn't there yet. His father though was the wisest. Melody respected him a lot. But not Hunter, and she knew that she would never. Not after this.

"This is what happens when one is rejected, since she is a Human, she won't be able to bear it. For a Werewolf it won't be this quick, but it's always the same. Mostly they die, or they go mad, suicidal. But only the strongest live."
