The Love of a Lycan

Buzzing sound was the first thing that hit Raine's senses. Afterward, there was this familiar voice that she would recognize even in the noisiest place, rung in her ears. 

His voice laced with panic and agitation, like someone who had just lost his inheritance or something similar.

"Why hasn't she not wake up yet!? Something is wrong with her!?" Torak growled in low voice, from the sound of it, Raine's condition almost drove him mad.

"Alpha… I have checked on her and there is nothing wrong. She only gets a fever. There is nothing to worry about." Lucas's soft voice echoed inside the room, trying to calm Torak. "She only fainted because of her fever, maybe she is too tired. Sleeping is good for her. Let her rest." He coaxed him.

Lucas was a werewolf and a doctor, who had previously run a checkup on Raine, he had just injected Raine with acetaminophen as they were in the infirmary. 

There was nothing wrong with her, everything was normal, she just got a normal fever, even though she should have woken up by now, but it was still within normal condition. 

There was nothing to worry about, at least not yet.

On the other hand, Torak refused to move a muscle from his mate, he kept staring at her pale face, fixed his eyes at her closed eyelids as if waiting for any sign from her to open them. 

Torak felt like his heart almost split open when he found out Raine fainted beside their bed, because he thought that perhaps someone had attacked her again. 

However, when he lifted her, her body was strangely very hot. Only then, it registered in his mind that she probably fainted because she was sick.

But, it had been four hours and she didn't give any sign that she would wake up soon. Her body temperature had not subsided yet, despite the injection that Lucas had given to her.

Was she really tired because of these past weeks? Torak indeed had brought her along with him to various places because he, stubbornly, didn't want to leave her out of his sight! Was that the reason behind her sickness? Because she was exhausted herself?

Torak was barely having an interaction with humans, aside from business, as he was always surrounded by his own people. 

Hence he didn't really understand how strong human's body endurance was, of course it would be different from those creatures that he knew. 

He had been very strict and selective about any food that Raine consumed, he only gave her the best and tried not to tire her out. 

However, Raine had never complained about whatever she felt was wrong with her body or if there were indications that she was sick. 

And then, how did she suddenly fall unconscious with this burning fever?

Torak put his cold palm on her forehead. The heat stung his skin. But, it felt nice on Raine as she fluttered her eyes open.

"My love, you are awake…" Torak's voice laced in relief the moment he looked at her puzzled look.

And then she said to him…

"Torak… it hurts…" 

Her beautiful voice sounded so heartbreaking as if she carried the unbearable pain, so soft, so faint. Her chapped lips quivered as her eyebrows locked together. 

Torak didn't have time to rejoice the moment his mate spoke, all he heard was that she was in pain.

"Lucas! She is in pain!" Torak barked. "If it's just a fever, she will not be in pain like this!" 

What kind of normal fever could possibly cause her so much pain like this?!

"Where do you feel the pain, which part?" Torak was very anxious as he caressed her back.

Raine curled her body in the fetal position as she clutched her chest.

"CALL BELLINDA OVER!" He roared to Lucas.
