Chapter 18- panic–1
I rushed out, my chest in my mouth as I rushed down the stairs. “Eric!” I yelled running down the stairs barely having any time to catch my breath.
‘fuck I was not cut out for this!‘ I made a mental note as I tripped on the stairs, practically flying down it at this point.
“Eric!!” I went straight to the Alpha’s office. If he was going to be found, the best place to search was at Kaden’s, where I knew he was going to be attached at the hip.
“Eric!” I yelled swinging the door open. I looked around, but he wasn’t there. I ignored the way Kaden looked at me.
I walked out, not even waiting for him to say what was on his mind. “Eric!” I was making my way out of the pack house when I was met with a brick wall.
I looked up, to see the said brick wall, Eric.
“Eric!” I scrambled to get up to my feet. “Samantha!” I looked at him desperately trying to get my words out. they were choked up in my throat, I was unable to get them out from fear and because I was a little out of breath
He had this dead look in his eyes, like he didn’t care. “don’t bother, we said we weren’t going to see each other anymore.” I looked at him, not understanding what he was talking about.
He moved to walk away but I pulled him back, which was surprisingly not as easy as I thought it would be.
“wait! Look Sam…‘
“”
“I don’t want to hear it!” He said looking at me with blazing eyes. “I don’t want to hear anything about her, okay?” he looked like a wounded lion ready to snap.
“But she’s fainted and unconscious in the kitchen” I choked back a sob as I looked at him. His eyes seemed to have softened, if anything, more than that. He looked worried.
“What?!” He didn’t spend another second near me, he went up the flight of stairs, practically flying, I was following close behind.

Chapter 18- panic–1
I panicked. “Sam!!” He yelled falling to her level on the floor. “Sam!” He tapped her face, trying to wake her up. “She’s without a pulse!” He looked up at me, panicked. He looked stressed, torn, and everything in between.
He carried her bridal style from the floor into his hands running to the infirmary, although, his legs barely touched the floor, so I would have argued that he was
teleporting.
The nurses rushed out, taking the lifeless body from him, she was growing more and more
pale with each second that passed.
“Help her,” he said looking at her. He snapped at anyone who dared come too close to
them. His wolf was unstable.
My throat was getting g dry from anxiety and fear. The way he was acting right now might
kill her first if whatever she ingested didn’t.
“Eric!” I snapped walking close to him. He looked at me for a moment, like he was seeing me for the first time, he barred his teeth to me, Snarling. “look” I said even though I was scared shirtless out of my pants that he was going to eat me raw at this rate. “Sam is
getting worse! Please” I blink the stupid tears that decided to fall and make me look weak in this moment. “I don’t want to lose my best friend. Let the nurses do their work.
Please?” it seemed to get through him as he handed over Sam to the nurse who
approached him like they were approaching a wounded animal
“She’s in safe hands” the woman assured him before they wheeled her away.
We stayed in the reception for a total of twenty minutes. It was the longest twenty
minutes of my life.
I bowed my head, sliding down the wall pathetically. ‘it should have been me‘ I thought as the reality of everything hit me as I watched nurses run around from one room to the
other. The place for the sole reason seemed busier than ever, or that could have just been the fact that I had never been on this side of the infirmary. I was always the one on the
bed.
If I had eaten the cake, then it would have been me. I wiped the tears that filled my eyes.
“It’s all my fault.” Eric was pacing up and down the corridor blaming himself.

Chapter 18- panic–1
From how he had reacted to her fainting this afternoon. It was clear as anything that they were mate. But I could also figure that they were not particularly there yet.
