Chapter 127: Chapter 127
Patrick sighed he knew when there was no arguing with me. He left a but and then came back in as I was asking him something to eat and threw m a medicine bottle "Tylenol." he said "You’re going to need it"
"thanks, Pat" I said putting a plate of eggs and baconon the table before grabbing my stuff to leave "Don’t forget to lock the door on your way out"
I got into the taxi i’d called and rested my head as it drove, trying to make it pound a bit less. I sighed as I saw the taxi stop by the house and got out, holding on to the door for a bit as a wave of dizziness washed over me. I payed the taxi and got in, I knew I was sick and it wasn’t a normal flu I know the difference but I didn’t have enough money to pay for a doctor and I wasn’t going to ask to pay for me
I made my way to the children’s room knowing Adrian wouldn’t be home yet. We had been dating for about two weeks and I noticed that he was gone once a day to what i overheard Lily saying ’parole’ yeah I really didn’t know what that meant, when I asked Adrian he just said because so many teens and even kids live here they need security.
I smiled as I got in the kids’ room to see them playing with legos. When they saw me they stood up to hug me but I raised a hand for them to stop.
"Now guys, I have the flu and I really don’t want to infect you so we’ll just play safe today okay?" They all nodded and I smiled "Okay now I brought" I pulled out a bag from behind me "Costumes for us." I put all the costumes on Claire’s bed "Now everyone choose. You guys are going to make a play and I’m going to watch okay?"
I smiled as they all ran to get costumes and then to separate hidden places to change. The costumes were the only thing besides my clothes that I couldn’t bear to leave. Halloween was always Gabriel’s favorite Holiday so on Halloween me and the nurses would help him get in a costume and throw candy on his bed as we and a couple of the fun nurses would sit around and start trading candy . Gabriel never got to eat a lot because it wasn’t good for him but he’d always have fun.
The kids got out and showed off their clothes and I smiled as I sat on the bed,. I groaned as a wave of nausea hit me. I closed my eyes for a minute and found myself falling in deep sleep.

Adrian’s P.O.V
Okay, there’s nobody on our territory can we go home now? I said through the pack link as we ran across our borders it’s been taking longer since we joined packs.
What’s the rush Adrian? I think we should just keep running, it’s refreshing Xavier said with a chuckle knowing why I wanted to go home.
Our Adrian has finally got a mate to want to run back home to Lily said teasingly as we picked up the pace So when are you going to tell her about you walking on fours from time to time?
When I’m sure she loves me and won’t freak out too much about it. I said sighing, I wanted to tell Nate I love her but she wouldn’t believe it if I say it this soon and I want her to love me completely before I tell her something to scare her off.
We reached the pack house and as soon as we got in we saw the kids running down the stairs looking scared.
"LUNA! ALPHA!" they yelled and ran to Lily and Ethan, the first people through the door. Ethan was immediately on high alert, his eyes scanning the place as he sniffed for unfamiliar scents and Lily knelt in front of the kids.
"What’s wrong?" I said kneeling down beside her. The kids looked scared
"She’s changing" Claire said "Nate is changing"
"What?" I said shocked, Nate wasn’t a werewolf what were they talking about?
"Her skin is hot and she’s not answering us. Our teacher said this was the first phase of the change" Charles said . I felt myself panic and Lily immediately shot me a look so I could check hings out as she led the kids to the kitchen.
I sprinted up the stairs at inhuman speed and went to the kids’ room. I saw Nate lying on a bed, completely still except for her lips which were moving and forming incoherent words.
I ran to her and sat on the bed beside her. "Nate?" I said trying to wake her "Nate, wake up" She didn’t answer and I swallowed the fear building in me as I pressed a hand to her forehead. I hissed, pulling it back. She was burning up, small beads of moisture appearing on her her forehead and skin, her hair damp and splayed around her. "Come on Nate baby wake up"
I tried waking her up feeling fear unlikike any other as I tried to tell myself it was just a fever and that humans get them all the time. Her eyes fluttered open, glazed and looking up at me "Adrian?" she mumbled, her voice tired "You’re...here"
"Yeah, baby. I’m right here"
"Water" She croaked and I nodded immediately running downstairs and filling her a glass and brought a bowl of water and a towel after telling Lily to get Miranda, the pack doctor. She would help Nate and tell me what’s wrong with her and I’d take care of her till she got better.
