I walked into my bedroom to find Serina lying on the bed. If not for the machines hooked up to her body, I would assume she was sleeping.

Maria was sitting on a chair next to the bed. Based on the pens and crossword magazines that were on the side table, I could assume that Maria was there for some time.

When Maria saw me, she bolted to her feet, to stand straight in attention.

"How is she doing?", I asked without removing my gaze from Serina.

"Madam suffered from internal injuries. Thanks to her quick healing rate, she survived, and her body is fine now but… she is not waking up.", Maria responded.

"For how long?"

"Three days."

I jabbed my hand into my hair. I had no idea how much time passed but I hoped it was less. Three days. Three fucking days!

"Mate bond should help her even if she can't feel it. Stay close to her. Skin contact is the best, let her feel you." I heard Sergio's voice from behind and I turned to see that Calista, Fynn, and Lazarus were also in the room.

I knew they were following behind me, but I assumed that they will stay in the hallway.

"Why are you here?", I asked. This is my and Serina's bedroom!

"We want to make sure you don't go crazy again.", Calista responded.

I exhaled in irritation. They are really treating me like I went mental.

This is not how I imagined things will go after my wolf awakens.

He tried to kill me, Serina is in a coma for three days, and everyone looks at me like I might start trashing the place at any moment. Thank you, wolf.

There was no way I would allow Fynn, Lazarus, and Sergio to linger in my bedroom, and I didn't like Calista much either after all that slapping.

"What are you worried about? Even if my wolf comes out, he might go after any of you, but he won't harm Serina."

Lazarus snorted and gestured toward Serina. "We saw that already."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "I told you. That was an accident. When my wolf comes out next time, I will make sure that accident involves you."

"I know that Serina would prefer to have Mateo by her side, with or without his wolf. We should give them privacy.", Calista said unexpectedly.

With that, Fynn, Lazarus, Sergio, and Calista left the room.

Maria was fiddling with one of the machines that were hooked up to Serina, and she collected her magazines. Before she left the room, she said, "I will change IV in about two hours. If you need something before that, call me."

Finally, it was just me and Serina.

Three days.

We were apart for three days!

I laid next to Serina on the bed and held her hand in mine.

I was disturbed by the fact that she didn't lace her fingers between mine. She would always do that.

I scooted closer until our bodies touched, and then I wrapped her into my embrace, careful that I don't disturb any of the cables.

Feeling her against me and being non-responsive hit me like a ton of bricks. This was real. Serina was hurt and it was all my fault.

"I'm sorry, Serina… I'm so sorry…", I murmured close to her ear, hoping that she will hear me and open her eyes. I regretted insisting on this stupidity to awaken my wolf. If I didn't do that, she wouldn't end up like this. "Please, come back tome…"

...

One day passed, two… or was it three? I was not sure because it was all the same and I didn't notice day and night taking turns outside.

Maria would come occasionally to check Serina's vitals, to change IV bag, and inject blood directly into Serina's system.

Serina's condition was stable, but she didn't show any signs of waking up.

I left the bed only when absolutely necessary, to use the restroom mostly. Maria would bring me food and even though I didn't have any appetite, I would shove it down my throat as fast as possible so that I can return holding Serina, listening to her heartbeat that assured me she was still with me, albeit out of my reach.

"What happened?"

Voice got my attention and I saw Zoe and Luca standing at the edge of the bed.

It seems that their vacation was over, and they returned. Was it that time already?

"The awakening of my wolf didn't go as expected.", I responded, surprised by how raspy my voice was. I guess that I didn't talk for a long time.

"We heard the official version from Calista.", Zoe told me. "What really happened?"

I could see the determination in both Zoe's and Luca's gazes. They were worried about Serina, and I owed them the truth.

I took some water to moisten my throat and I gave them a brief recollection of events after my wolf woke up, ending with his hand in Serina's abdomen.

As usually, Luca was the quiet observer while Zoe was the one doing most of the talking.

"What's the status with your wolf?", she asked.

"Since I woke up, the second time, I didn't feel his presence." To be honest, I didn't know why I was the one in control after waking up.

"I'm sure he feels guilty about harming his mate.", Luca spoke.

In my opinion, that bastard can drown in guilt. It was his fault. But as long as he stays silent and doesn't disturb me, I won't bother with him.

"How is Serina doing?", Zoe asked.

"Her body is fine, but she is not waking up.", I told her what Maria said a million times already.

Zoe and Luca looked at each other and I could see their expressions changing like they were discussing something silently. Normally, I would ask them if they can communicate mentally, but I was too drained to care.

Eventually, Zoe looked at me. "Why don't you call Ash to come here?"

"What can he do?", I asked.

Zoe made a face like I asked something silly. "He can read minds. If he comes, he can confirm the state of Serina's mind. Right?"

Right. I was drowning in the guilt and I forgot about Ash and his newfound ability.

Actually, that gave me an idea.

"Serina got hurt while she was in my mind. What if I get into her mind?", I mumbled mostly to myself.

"Can you do that?", Zoe asked, and I was at a loss. I had no idea how to do that.

But there must be a way. I started thinking aloud, "Serina said that the two of us are sharing a bond and that's why we can establish Soul Echo when we focus on each other."

"Bond?", Zoe asked. "Sounds to me like something mates have."

"Ah…", I exhaled loudly. I forgot to tell them. "In all that mess, we established that Serina and my wolf are mates."

"You mean, Serina and you are mates, right?", Zoe asked with a frown. "How can she be mate with your wolf and not with you? The two of you are the same."

"To be honest, I'm struggling with that concept.", I admitted. "He is different." And obnoxious, stubborn, overbearing.

"You and I both.", Zoe said, and I looked at her questionably.

Zoe smiled. "Did you forget that I got my wolf only two weeks ago? She is so different than I am."

"How do you deal with it?"

Zoe shrugged. "Little steps. When I don't know what to do, I talk with Luca."

"I am communicating with my wolf for more than two years and I can tell you that it gets better in time.", Luca said. "Eventually, you will learn to work together, as partners. I ask my wolf for assistance where I'm lacking. It works both ways."

Zoe nodded in agreement. "My wolf and I established what we have in common and we are working from there. Sometimes she really wants to do something I am against, so I give her control and retract at the back of our mind because I don't want to see that, and sometimes she does the same for me."

Something in common? My wolf wants to do everything I don't, and the only thing we both want is Serina and there is no way in hell I'm letting him have her. And there was another thing. "He can feel the bond, and I don't."

Both Zoe and Luca frowned at this.

"You don't sense Serina's scent as special?", Zoe asked.

"I do.", I admitted, and Zoe's lips stretched into a knowing smile.

"There you go, Mateo. It's the scent and the attraction…" She turned to look at Luca. "To me, Luca is the most handsome guy in the world. He smells and tastes like apples. I can't get enough of him. And whenever we touch, the sparks of our bond are urging me to get closer because we are one."

I could see that Zoe and Luca were about to start making out and I told them to leave.

"You gave me something to think about. We will talk more later."

Zoe and Luca left the room with haste, and I didn't need any superpower to know that they were about to get frisky.
