|Rosalie Burns|

Asher had fainted.

Mr. Big Bad Alpha, with the cocky attitude and the super sexy eight pack had fainted.

The world is officially ending.

Haha I’m just kidding, he didn’t actually faint but I may have preferred that reaction if he had. Right now he was half pissed and half… well actually he was just pissed. 

Asher stared at me for a moment as he tried to comprehend what I had said. His grip on my hand had tightened and I winced slightly, but Asher was too concentrated to notice. I was slightly amused with the emotions that were flickering over his face. There was shock, anger, confusion and longing. Each time an emotion crossed I couldn’t help it when my lip twitched upwards but I did my best not to smile. I couldn’t help it though, Asher looked pretty adorable. I know not a very ‘manly’ word but it’s not like he was paying attention to know I used it.

Asher’s grip finally lightened up and I watched as he closed his eyes and let out a small breath.

“Did you just say you had silver, as in the one element that is poisonous to all werewolves, in your blood?” he asked as he slowly opened his eyes, sounding strangely calm. I gulped when I saw that his eye colour had turned to an amber colour. I could tell he was trying to reign in his wolf and I gave him a timid smile and started to caress his hand with my thumb, hoping it would calm him down. 

“Yeah… I did” I whispered.

Asher groaned and quickly pulled me so I was straddling him, with my hands resting on his chest while he nuzzled his head into my neck and his arms wrapped loosely around my waist. “How?” was all he said, I shivered slightly when his breath hit my neck. I knew he was doing this so he wouldn’t go all wolf and go on a rampage. It may not seem like a big deal, but it was. It was actually very important and I don’t know how I didn’t remember this before. 

 I sighed “To be honest I don’t really know how they do it. But somehow my father was able to get the silver into a state to where it can be injected into our blood stream” I told him, I shivered again but not from Asher, it was from the memories. “Each month we set an appointment with a specialist and they give us a little needle, it’s kind of like getting blood drawn from you but instead silver is injected into you’re veins. If a shifter bites one of us, it’s lights out” I started to explain. I felt Asher nod against my neck and I took that as a ‘keep going’ gesture.

“But since hunters aren’t exactly normal humans we have something in our blood that makes the silver eventually disappear, usually this takes about a month. It just depends on how much silver you have in your veins.” I paused for a moment to catch my breath before continuing. “So once the month is over, we get our blood tested to see if we’re clean before we get another shot. Most shots don’t hurt, just feel like a slight prick but silver shots hurt like hell. It’s like getting stabbed in the arm with a knife over and over again until the silver is fully injected and settled, it usually takes around five to ten minutes.” I said, unconsciously rubbing my arm as I remembered those unpleasant memories, all starting from the age of five. No matter how many times you got it, the feeling never gets better and you definitely never get used to it. Asher’s grip tightened around my waist when I mentioned how much it hurt and I could feel him in my mind as he watched the memories with me. He growled and released angry noises every time I even winced. 

After a moment Asher had calmed down and he pulled away from my neck so he could look in my eyes. “Did you even have a choice?” he asked, his voice sounding strained. I shook my head “Most people do but because I’m a Burns… I had to” I muttered. Sometimes coming from my family good be a real pain in the ass, there were so many expectations that were set up for you. Especially when you were a girl, it was hard being the next head of the family.

Suddenly Asher abruptly stood up and I let out a little yelp of surprise when I found myself being held bridal style in his arms while he quickly strode out of the room. “Asher! Where are we going!?” surprise was laced with my words. Asher grunted “To see the pack doctor” he replied, racing down the stairs and out the door, towards his car. I gave him a confused look “Why?” I asked. Asher placed me in the car and placed a small kiss to my forehead “I want to know if there’s a faster way to get the silver out of you” he muttered before slamming the door shut and racing to the other side. In minutes he was in the driver’s seat and speeding off towards town. 

* * * * * *

Sitting in the waiting room and waiting for the results to come was by far the most agonizing thirty minutes of my life. I was sitting on the uncomfortable chair with Asher beside me, tapping my foot aimlessly. Asher was just staring off into space with a hard look on his face, his arms were crossed over his chest and he looked so focused. I really wanted to ask what was on his mind but I didn’t want to ruin his concentration, what if it was something important then I started to talk and he completely lost his idea? Yeah I don’t want to be on the end of that kind of anger. I know I’m a total witch when some one interrupts my thoughts.

“I’ll keep that in mind” 

My head snapped towards Asher and I narrowed my eyes at him. “You’re reading my mind again!” I accused. Asher gave me a lazy grin “You have a… interesting mind” he replied as if it was nothing. I rolled my eyes and pouted “I told you not to do that” I whined. Asher laughed and kissed the side of my head lightly “Sorry sweetheart but I couldn’t help it, you are too much of a distraction” he teased. I blushed and turned away from him “Whatever” I muttered, hoping he didn’t notice my blush. I looked at him from the corner of my eye and saw he was smirking at me, childishly I stuck my tongue out at him and he just laughed.

I sighed and leaned against Asher’s arm. “When are the results coming?” I asked. Asher shrugged “Doc said that we could have them from half an hour to an hour” he replied, snaking his arm around my shoulders. I sighed and closed my eyes, this had been a long and stressful day. I wondered how my father knew to look here in Graystone for me, we lived in Queen City which was almost 4 hours away from here. Maybe there was a spy in Asher’s pack? 

I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts. No, I don’t think so. Isn’t being a spy considered treason? I knew the penalty for that was death so I don’t think anyone in Asher’s pack would do that. Besides I knew my father and he was smart enough to figure anything out, he figured out how to put silver in us so I’m sure he can figure out where a pack resides in. Of course thinking about my father made my mind wonder over to Jake.

Jake. 

I wonder how he was doing? Both him and Cole looked like an absolute mess, the looked absolutely exhausted. But I noticed there was something in Jake’s eyes as he looked at me but I just couldn’t tell what it was. It looked like… longing and… love? No that couldn’t be right, I knew Jake didn’t love me. We were just really good friends, there for each other through thick and thin. I sighed, I really did miss my boys and I really wished that there wouldn’t be a fight. I mean it was just me, Rosalie Burns. Your normal teenaged girl, well besides the fact that I’m a hunter and mated to a werewolf, if you look past that I’m just your average girl.

No one remarkably special. 

“Alpha? Luna?” The doctor’s voice called, making me open my eyes.

Asher and I stood up, I laced my fingers with his and he squeezed my hand reassuringly. For some reason I was feeling pretty nervous, I mean these results could say anything! What if something horrible was going to happen to me? Asher and I followed the doctor until we made it to his office. I felt fear wash over me and butterflies formed in my stomach but not the good kind you get when you see your crush. The kind you get when you have to do a big presentation in front of a whole bunch of people. I shook my head and tried to get the negative thoughts out of my head. I sat down in one of the chairs but Asher had a different idea, he lifted me up before sitting down and carefully placing me on his lap. I smiled as he wrapped his arms around my waist, I was grateful for the comfort I had a feeling I was going to need it. 

“Alpha, sorry for the long wait, I had to check over a couple of things to make sure my findings were 100% correct” he said, sounding very formal and respectful. I stayed quiet and squirmed a little, I was feeling a little bit antsy sitting on this room. “So what did you find out?” Asher asked, getting right to the point. Dr. Morgan sighed and took of his glasses, running a hand through his short brown hair. “There’s no way to sugar coat this, but I found a few things that have raised my concern.” He started to say. I paled a little bit and nervously rung my clammy hands together. Asher gave me a small squeeze of reassurance, and it helped calm my nerves just a little bit.

“Alright, just tell us please” I murmured quietly. 

Dr. Morgan nodded his head and leaned back in his chair. “Well first of all I need to ask you if you know what you’re father did with the silver” he asked. I cocked my head to the side and shook it “No, my father never let me see.” I whispered. Dr. Morgan nodded and laced his fingers together on the desk. “I was afraid of that” he murmured. “Why?” Asher asked. Dr. Morgan sighed.

“Well you see I found large amounts of Mitonemia [Pronounced My – toe – knee – me – ah] laced in with your blood and the silver” he started to explain. I gave him a confused look “What’s… Mytnema?” I asked, blushing when Dr. Morgan and Asher laughed at my mispronunciation of the word. 

The doctor gained his control back first before speaking. “Mitonemia is a poisonous substance that can kill a person in a mere four minutes, but because the Mitonemia was joined with the silver and another substance that is unknown at the moment the poison level has essentially come down and has changed a bit so that it won’t kill you but if Alpha Asher was to bite you, he would be dead in seconds” he informed us.

I gasped and felt tears form in my eyes. How could my father do that to me? He injected me with not only silver but a poison as well. I forced my tears back and willed myself not to cry, I didn’t want to cause Asher even more stress. Right now he was shaking angrily and he had removed his arms from around my waist and placed them on the chairs handles. His fingers were turning white and the chair looked like it was going to break any second. I put a soothing hand on Asher’s thigh and squeezed lightly hoping he would clam down. 

“Well why haven’t you found what the other substance is!?” Asher spit out, making the doctor flinch. “Asher…” I said quietly. He ignored me and continued to glare at the doctor. Dr. Morgan cleared his throat and wiped his hands on his pants before answering, I even had to admit that Asher looked pretty intimidating at the moment. “Um… well because it’s not just one solid element. There are a couple other elements that formed together to make this, once we figure out the elements we can figure out what the unknown substance is” he informed us.

It was silent for a moment as my brain began to process the information. So this is what I have so far:

My so called ‘father’ not only injected me with silver but some poisonous substance that can kill a person There is another substance in my body made up of other elements I could essentially kill Asher if he tries to mark me I was not emotionally stable at the moment There are still a couple other concerns the doctor has!

There is only so much a girl can cope with and this definitely crossed the line!

I groaned and leaned back against Asher. This was not the way I wanted to spend the day, I wanted to have some fun at the mall with my new friends then hang out with Asher for a bit before coming back home and having a nice normal dinner. Is that too much to ask? To be normal? Is that such a hard thing to be? Asher placed his hand on my thigh and began to caress it soothingly.

“What is there?” I asked warily.

Dr. Morgan grimaced. “I have to warn you, this isn’t going to be something easy to handle” he warned. I nodded my head and grasped Asher’s hand in mine. “Just tell us” Asher demanded.

“It also affects your ability to have children”

I froze and I felt Asher do the same.

Does that mean I can’t have children when I’m older?

My head started to spin.

I never told anyone but when I was older, much older but not too old I wanted to get married and have kids of my own. The thought of having my own family and marrying some one I loved put a fuzzy and warm feeling in my stomach. But to find that it could be taken away from me?

It kind of broke my heart, okay lie it really broke my heart.

I closed my eyes and turned so I could bury my face into Asher’s chest. I didn’t even try to stop the tears that fell from my eyes. This was all too much emotional stress to deal with. First I see Cole and Jake who practically pledge a war against the Lunar Eclipse pack, then the curiosity of what Jake wanted to say and now this whole thing with the doctor?

I don’t think my heart or my brain could handle anything else that could be thrown at me.

“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!” Asher yelled out. I paled as another thought hit me, sooner or later Asher was going to need to have a child who can take his place as alpha one day. Would that mean he would leave me? Would he go and have a child with another women? My heart started to hurt as these thoughts whirled in my head. I clenched my teeth together and tried to stop the sob from coming out.

“By the time she is 35 she wont’ be able to have any children. If she’s lucky to get at least one child before then, that would be a miracle. The Mitonemia has a special cell in it that reacts with your fertility and the poison eventually makes you infertile” he explained. Asher growled angrily, “Asher…” I mumbled, my voice was thick with sadness and before I knew it I was crying like there was no tomorrow. Asher breathed in my scent and calmed down before embracing me tightly against his comforting chest. “I’ll just leave you two for a moment, I’ll be back soon” Dr. Morgan murmured before slipping from the room.

I just continued to sob and just let all my emotions flow over me at once.

|Asher Valentine|

Good, he left. Now I can fully focus on my mate without wanting to rip his head off.

“Shh baby, don’t cry. It’s all going to be okay, I promise we’ll figure something out” I murmured quietly as I stroked my mate’s hair in comfort. “I just- can’t- believe my- father would- do this” she cried between sobs. Each tear that fell and every broken sob she released broke my heat even more, I couldn’t stand to see her cry. I wanted to find her father and rip his head of for doing this to her. She didn’t deserve any of this pain she was going through.

What the fuck kind of father injects poison into their child? That is just messed up.

“I know baby, I know. But please stop crying” I pleaded. “The pack doctor is the best and I know him and his team can find something that will help you” I told her, trying to soothe her. I placed a small kiss on her head and rubbed her back in comfort. Instantly her cries lowered a bit and her grip on my shirt softened a bit. She continued to cry for a while longer and I continued to soothe her in any way that I could. She was my mate and she always came first no matter what, if there was anything I could do to put her beautiful smile back on her face than I would, but I knew she was too emotionally wrecked from all the events from today.

Once she calmed down there were only a few stray tears that were left on her face. I took my thumb and wiped them away. “Are you okay now?” I asked tentatively, hoping I wasn’t going to say anything to make her start crying again. I don’t think I could handle another crying session. Rose shook her head “No” she murmured softly. My heart clenched at her words, “Is there anything I can do?” I asked, hoping that I could take away her pain. I would make it my own if I could. Rose opened her eyes and I immediately got lost in her beautiful blue eyes.

“Just… just hold me” she murmured. I kissed her lightly and repositioned her so she could be more comfortable. “That I can do” I replied. Rose gave me a small smile before taking a hand and caressing my cheek. Slowly she brought my face down until my lips met with hers, it was a short kiss but I could feel exactly what she wanted to say but didn’t know how to. She was grateful for whatever the hell I was doing and that made me grin, I guess I wasn’t too bad at this mate stuff!

A moment later the doctor came back in, holding a small bag. He gave Rose a small reassuring smile, “Please Luna do not be discouraged. I promise we will try and find a way to reverse the effects, but I have to warn you this task is next to impossible. Don’t forget that Alpha Asher is an alpha therefore his chance of producing a baby is higher than the average wolf. For now I have a couple of antibiotics I want you to take, they will help speed up your process of getting all this out of you. There is also a chance that you will feel dizzy, become extremely tired at odd moments, have slight memory lost and fainting spells but don’t worry it won’t be anything too serious. Also, I calculated that you won’t be able to mate until the next few months, the toxin in the silver is just too high and I don’t want to risk your life alpha” Dr. Morgan said.

I groaned, this really sucked. I have to wait more than a month now until I can complete the mating process with Rosalie. I don’t think I can wait that long! Her body is way to enticing, and it doesn’t help that she wears my shirts to bed either. She is way too sexy for her own good, do you know how many unmated males that would come after her? None from my pack but that doesn’t mean other males or even rogues won’t go after her. The doctor explained the medication to Rose and she just nodded her head, she looked completely exhausted.

I began to stand up and held Rosalie in my arms, this time she didn’t even bother to get down and just snuggled into my chest while she grasped the tiny bag. “Thank you” she murmured to Morgan, who nodded his head. “Anytime, I do advise you both to keep in touch with me. Anything that doesn’t feel right call me right away. Okay?” he asked. We both nodded “Thanks doc” I muttered. Morgan nodded his head “ ’Course Alpha” he replied respectfully. I nodded my head once more before turning and leaving the office.

As I reached the front doors Rose’s voice called out to me.

I looked down and noticed that even through exhaustion she was able to look absolutely stunning and even a little childlike at the moment.

“Yes sweetheart?” I murmured softly.

Rose was struggling to keep her eyes open “Asher I think… I think I’m…” but she wasn’t able to keep her eyes open. The next second she went limp in my arms and I almost had a heart attack if I hadn’t heard her steady breathing and her heart pumping.

Rose had fainted.

Carefully I placed her in the backseat and kissed her forehead before moving to the driver’s side. It was already night and the exhaustion was starting to get to me as well. I started my car and pulled away from the pack doctor’s office. I couldn’t wait to get back home and get into bed with my beautiful mate. We both had a long day, her more than me. We both deserved a little time away from things. I grinned as I drove getting the perfect idea, once we were home there would be a couple calls I would need to make. Tomorrow I would take Rose on a mini trip, to get her mind off of everything and I have the perfect idea.

I just hoped that she would like it just as much as I did.
