Venom’s POV
I arrived home later in ethe evening and as usual, everywhere was empty without anyone around. I thought I would see Maya, but she was also nowhere to be found.
I went to the dining table so I could get something to eat since I was famished the whole day. Everything had been spent planning on different things s I would do and for the future of the pack.
When the food came to the table, I was super impressed with what I saw or maybe it was because of the hunger in me.
“Thank you very much,” I told the maid who brought the food for me. Seconds only passed before I began to consume what had been brought for me.
I had only gotten to half of the plate when I realized that I didn’t actually bother to check on Maya and nobody had set their foot outside at all.
An ominous feeling began to cloud my head but I made sure I was done with the meal before I stood up to leave.
The plate was wiped clean with my hands and the utensils which I used to consume what I ate and then I left to say hello to Maya. When I got to the door, it was opened and when I looked in, I didn’t see anyone in it.
“That’s weird.” I muttered.
I walked away and went to check the bathroom, but she wasn’t there either. Then it occurred to me to go check the other rooms if anyone was even at home.
“Caleb, Alex, Maya.” I called out names but no one showed up and the whole place was empty.
I went to the guards outside to ask them questions incase they had seen them leave.
“Where’s everyone in the house? The place is empty.” I inquired from the guard.
” They had to leave those evening, someone was rushed to the hospital and that’s all I can remember seeing, sir.”
My heart skipped a beat as soon as I heard what he said. I checked my pocket for my phone to check if I had received any call or messages and that was when I saw them, I had been receiving them since noon, but the phone was on silent.
” Dammit! ” I exclaimed.
I opened the text messages one after the other and they were all from Maya.
The text messages read, “where are you?” “Your brother is at the hospital.” “Something is wrong.”
I kept staring at the phone, messages there and multiple missed calls and for some time there, it didn’t feel like I existed at that point.
“What the heck!” I exclaimed.
My body kicked back in and I rushed to the car where I would start it so I could drive to the hospital.
It was ridiculous that they had taken Alex to the hospital. We never used the hospital unless the illness was above our healing factor or we didn’t know what was happening, that was the only times we werewolves ever went there.
I arrived there in a rush and I found everybody waiting somewhere. The whole family was there. The first person that approached me was Maya.
“What’s wrong, Maya?” I asked her, confused as to what was going on.
“It’s your brother, we don’t know. I saw him with an injury this evening, he was rushed here and that’s all.” I stared at her, she was almost at the verge of the crying.
It still surprised me that something could have been that lethal to Alex, he wasn’t an ordinary werewolf. He was a royalty from an Alpha bloodline.
I went to the counter where a receptionist attended to everyone. Once she saw me, she immediately acknowledged me.
“Can I see my brother, he is in here somewhere.” I asked her.
“Oh!” She said in shock and began to scroll through the computer system that was on her desk.
“There’s a record but he is currently being treated. You can go in if you want though, your highness.” She told me.
I looked behind me to see everyone and they were all in a pensive mood. My dad was petting my mom and it was too sad to witness.
” What the hell happened! ” i said to myself.
I ignored the warning of a treatment going on and went into the line of treatment room that divided the people waiting and the people being treated.
It was later that I realized I had not even asked where he was and the ward he was in. I couldn’t just possibly find him in the first room I open, but that was what happened.
I opened a door and I saw him being operated on. The wounded part had been opened up. The doctors in there barely realized that I was inside. They were all engrossed in treating him to be well.
When one of them sighted me, he wanted to signal me to leave but I took the cue and left on my own. There was nothing it would benefit me to just stay there and watch.
I went back to join everyone and simply say beside Maya. I was frustrated and tired from everything that was happening. It didn’t feel like there was anything I would do and the gods would approve of without bringing more calamities.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
I held Maya’s hand and we both just sat side by side while my mom, dad and Caleb did the same. Caleb had fallen asleep already and didn’t even see me come in.
We were encountering too many problems, more than I could manage on my own.
“What’s going on in there?” May gently asked.
“I don’t know,” I replied to her.
We all just sat there looking ahead and waiting for an update from the doctors to let us know the state of Alex. I tried to think of what could have happened, but nothing came forth.
Just as we are there expectant, the doctor from earlier appeared.
He didn’t have to speak, his look said it all.
