Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 74

Everest POV

I sat in the chair as the doctor looked across at me. "Give it to me." I told him. I knew the news was bad, but how bad was it really?

"My King." The doctor began with a long sigh. "I regret to inform you that the pup is gone. The damage was very extensive. There was nothing we could do, though we tried our hardest. By the time she arrived, the pup was gone. She miscarried." He looked across from me and I felt like crumbling.

A single tear fell down my cheeks as I looked at him. "Is that all?" I asked him and he shook his head.

"It is not. Unfortunately, we had to take out her left ovary and fallopian tube. The damage from the silver metal she was stabbed with was too much. There was no way I could even try to save it or repair it properly. Her beast is being suppressed, slowing her healing down. We found a specific dusting particle that is generally hard to come by all over her skin. I collected a good bit of it off of her and sent it to our labs to be tested." He told me.

I closed my eyes and put my head down into my hands, leaning forward on the chair. All of our happiness is being shattered. It would be harder for us to have a pup now. "What else is there to know?" I looked up at him as I was fighting back my own tears. I had to try to remain strong, even if all I wanted to do was crumble to the ground.

"She is fighting the silver and an infection at the same time. Because her immune system is down and weak, she has slipped into a coma. I am very concerned about her healing process. If her beast does not come back soon, she may be in this state for a while. When we learn what this is, we can counter its magic and reverse the effect it is having on her body." He had a frown on his face.

I nodded my head at him and sat in silence. She was on the brink of death and I felt helpless. After a while, I looked up at him. "Is there anything that I could do to help other than be by her side during her healing?"

"Unfortunately, that is all you can do. I hope that you being close to her and being by her side can bring her beast back faster." He told me.

I nodded my head and stood up. "Thank you for saving her." I leaned over and shook his hand. I turned and walked back to her room. I walked into her room. I looked around her spacious room and walked over to the chair. I picked it up and moved it to be next to her bed. I walked over to the opposite side, found the button I was searching for and lowered her bed to the height where my chair was sitting.

I walked back over to my chair and sat down next to her. I looked at her for the longest time, studying all of her features. She was so very beautiful.

Her skin had paled and the color was gone from her face. A bandage was across her abdomen and I knew that was where they had stitched her skin back together. I moved my hand to slip into hers. I was shocked at how cold her hand was and knew then that the doctor was right. Her Lycan was missing and not healing her. I couldn't stand how cold she was and took a blanket to place around her body. I carefully moved her and climbed up on the bed next to her. I was practically hanging off the side of the bed, but it didn't matter. She was cold and I hoped my body heat could help her warm up.

I moved one of my arms around her and held her to me as she laid on the bed. I buried my face where my mark was on her neck and breathed in her scent deeply. I could still feel my beast calming from the scent of her. She was still there, just a little distant. I didn't realize it, but tears began falling as I laid next to her. "Please, my love, please come back to me. No matter where you are, turn around and come back to me." I pleaded to her and to the Moon Goddess.

The next few days blended into one another as I lost track of my days. Jameson and Ted had stepped up and ran things with the help of my mother. I was in no shape to run anything. I was a complete mess to be honest. Avalynn's Lycan still has yet to return and on the second day here in the hospital, she flatlined. I felt my heart literally ripping from my chest. I nearly lost all control. The room was swarmed with different medical staff to bring her back. Her heartbeat came back and was extremely weak. The infection was winning and her body seemed to have given up.

One afternoon, I found myself in the office of the head surgeon, throwing chairs and raging over her health. Her health was deteriorating and the lab was taking its sweet f*****g time. Time is what we were fighting and he could not give me a straight answer as to why it was taking this long.
