Jia's POV

'He is back' - Michelle.

The moment I read the message, I stumbled to get up from the bean bag in which I had sunk myself to watch the movie. Searching my bag amongst the litter we had caused with food and drinks, I got up

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Where's the fire?" Ruby asked me when she noticed my impatient behaviour.

"I need to go, I remembered something urgent" I managed to tell her between my uneven breathing.

Both Ruby and Fred were looking at my change of behaviour

"Do you want me to drop you?" Fred asked with concern

I was so tempted with the offer, but I can't let him see where I live. Humans were not allowed near pack house. I will have to catch a bus to reach home.

"No thanks" I told him almost running out of the door.

This man had left me in the middle of night, without telling me, didn't even attend any of my calls nor called back  and now he is back and he still doesn't have courtesy to inform me? I seriously need to bash him.

I was panting by the time I reached our room, but it was empty. Just in the same condition I left it in the morning.

I was losing it. Tears were burning in my eyes to run free. I mindlinked Michelle.

"Where is he?" I asked.

No reply.
"MICH, WHERE IS HE?"

'Pack hospital' she replied with a huff.

What? What happened? I ran towards the hospital. It was the small unit near grounds. I was scared for him, for me. I searched every room in the hospital, praying to moon goddess for his wellness and my sanity. In the last room I saw him, sitting on the bed. He was just in his pants looking distressed, covered in dirt and blood.
Doctor Tonia was tending to his wounds which I was not able see as her back was in between.

He looked up as I opened the door and went inside. Our eyes met. I heard him take a deep breath. I wanted to punch him but I know I will hurt myself.

"Jia" He called out. There was so much pain and longing in his voice.

I know he missed me, as much I missed him. I could see it in his eyes and I could feel it with the way he was looking at me.

I took small steps towards him. My vision was getting blur due to all the tears. When I was standing next to the doctor I saw it.

A huge, deep, nasty, ugly cut, running from his chest to the left arm. Just above his heart.
I gasped.
