Maria fainted-

But before she could hit the ground Nicholas caught her. No one has ever seen the look of grief on Nicholas’s face in their lives. Then he started barking orders at everyone.

"Get a room ready!" he shouted at one of the nurses.

"Do a blood test to figure out what wrong with her!" he stated while sprinting the hospital wing of the packhouse.

Everyone went into a frenzy. But they all knew this is the alpha is panicking this much over her, we should too. The nurses put her in a room and hooked her up to a few machines. Nicholas took a chair next to Maria's bed and sat there silently not a single utterance from him. He was worried, more worried than he has ever been and he is not sure why. He isn't the only one freaking out either, his wolf is too. 

"What happened to our mate? Is she ill? How come she just fainted like that?"- but before he could get to his next question he was interrupted.

Interrupted by a small and weak cough. It was Maria. "Maria, Maria! Are you ok?" Nicholas said with fear in his eyes. Nick took Maria's hand in his and waited. Waited for anything indicating that she is ok and well. He stayed like this for 3 hours. He was starting to lose hope. He thought, no I can't lose you I just got you. You made me so happy with the small time that I have known you. You have surpassed my expectations tenfold. Please, please don't leave me. He started to tear up. Then there was a voice that said.

"Aww, is the overgrown pup crying?"-
