Xavier's pov -

One week.

One week has passed and still, there is no progress with her health. Doctors are confused as they don't know what is wrong with her. Her body has healed which is clear to us but the reason behind her unconsciousness is still in the dark.

But it is not what frightens me. I am terrified because my wolf can't feel her presence for the last four days. It feels like she doesn't exist. I clearly remember that dreadful night.

Daimen and I had divided our hours to take care of her and to snoop around for information. From 8:00 am to 7:00 pm I will stay with her and he will gather all the dirt that he can find on Zen from 7:00 pm to 8:00 am was my turn. It was her third day of remaining unconscious, around midnight Daimen broke into our room saying that something was happening to Kira. When we reached the room, the sight of her body gasping for air, clutching sheets as if her life depended on it greeted me. It nearly broke me. Daimen started grilling the doctor for an answer while I went to sit beside her.

Her mate came after an hour. His hair was disoriented. As if someone was running hands into it. His shirt was wrinkled and he was barefoot. He said that he was in an important meeting discussing patrolling and rogues and came as soon as the meeting was over. He was worried about her and offered to stay here. But we declined, saying, that he needed to rest as he looked so tired.

He agreed after a little resistance on his part. We knew it was all a facade as we smelt other female wolf's scent on him plus there were red marks around his neck which he tried his best to hide from us but failed miserably. They were hickeys. We knew that he was screwing someone and came after he was satisfied.

When he left I sat beside her and started stroking her hair. I have seen many times Helen doing the same to her and once I also listened to their conversation. Kira was saying that she feels herself relaxing when someone strokes her hair. It reminds her of her mother and she loves the feeling. So I tried my best to comfort her. By stroking her hair, calling her princess, and hoping that she would be listening to me, that night Daimen and I both stayed in her room.

The next morning which was supposed to bring us hope for her recovery instead gave us dread. Daimen and I's wolf couldn't feel her presence. It was like something or someone was stopping us to reach her. Before I could contact anyone from our pack my mind was attacked by the voices of our Alpha and Luna.

I looked around and saw that Daimen too was clutching his head like it would explode any second. I couldn't decipher what they were saying. So I asked them to calm down and tell me what is bothering them one by one. The first thing that Helen asked me was- is she alive? I told her that she is but the problem was that my wolf couldn't feel her presence. The same thing was happening to them too.

Helen told me that Alpha, Ana, and she were not able to sense Kira's wolf. It took me some time but I was able to calm her down. From that time, I reported to her thrice a day on Kira's condition. Zen visits her several times a day. I have to say that his acting skills are good. He can win an Oscar. Sometimes even I have to think twice about his behavior whether it is genuine or fraud. We have tried and so far we got nothing on him.
