Worried the Wolfsbane might continue affecting me, Aiden kept glancing over, touching my forehead and gently patting my face to keep me alert. We finally returned to the city hospital around three in the morning. Aiden stormed into the ER carrying me in his arms, looking like a man possessed. Andrix happened to be on night duty. When he saw how filthy and battered we were, his eyes went wide. "What the hell happened to you two?" "Raelyn was kidnapped. We just got her out," Aiden said, placing me on the medical bed. "She's been exposed to Wolfsbane. Treat her immediately." "Kidnapped?" Andrix rushed over and pulled out his stethoscope, placing it on my chest. "Why didn't you notify the pack? Alpha should've handled this." Aiden glanced at me, then answered calmly, "There was no time. Besides, bringing in the Alpha might've just made things worse." Andrix nodded and began treating me. He hooked me up to an antidote IV. Thanks to my Alpha-level resistance, Freya stirred awake in my soul not long after the infusion began. Once I was stable, Andrix added a nutrient drip and left the room. Now it was just Aiden and me. AM His expression finally softened. He came to my bedside and asked gently, "Do you know who was behind it?" The memories of what happened hit me all over again. I looked at him coldly. "Didn't you say you didn't believe a word I said?" Aiden froze, staring into my eyes. Then he said softly, "I'm sorry." I was stunned. Aiden... apologizing? The proud Alpha himself? Must be a blue moon tonight. But considering he just risked his life to save me, I decided not to make things harder. I sighed. "Fine. Apology accepted. But yes-it really was Taylor." Aiden's gaze turned sharp. "It was her?" I nodded. "She ambushed me in the garage after staking it out for three days. She hired a bunch of werewolves to kidnap me. She wanted to ruin me. Luckily, I was poisoned with Wolfsbane. They were too 2/3 16:57 Tue, Aug 5 scared to touch me right away." When he heard the word ruin, Aiden's aura instantly turned icy. "She went too far. Don't worry, Raelyn-I'll make sure she pays for this." I didn't expect Aiden to take my side so firmly. It brought me a bit of comfort. Just then, the phone rang. Aiden glanced at the screen, then put it on speaker. "It's Jackson." "Raelyn, Mr. Salvatore, those werewolves confessed-Taylor was the one who gave the orders. The police are already heading to Midnight Pack. They'll probably arrest her tonight." "Got it." After hanging up, Aiden looked at me and let out a sigh. "You should stay in the hospital and rest tonight." I looked at him. "If I don't go home, Mr. Robin will be worried." Aiden's tone grew a little stern. "You want to go back now? The toxins haven't completely left your system. You want to end up in the hospital longer?" Please. I'm an Alpha. The toxins are already gone. But considering how serious this incident was, it'd be hard to justify not staying a couple of nights. Aiden meant well, so I nodded. "Then when you go back, tell Mr. Robin I'm staying at a friend's for two days. Don't tell him I was kidnapped." I've already caused enough trouble for the Eclipse Pack's Alpha. No need to worry him more. Aiden agreed and left the room.
