34

Three weeks have passed since the drunken incident and I hadn't talked to Hades at all. Now all he does is check in on me and then continues doing work.

Melody has tried talking to me, but I didn't want to talk to anyone. I didn't even want to be the Luna of this pack anymore.

Everyone in the pack has tried talking to me, but I would only look at them with annoyance before walking away.

I've gone for another check up for the pups, I did let Hades come. Even though it was dead silent in the room.

"Celina?"

I ignored him as he walked in. "Are you hungry?" He asked.

"No, I'll get food when I'm hungry." I replied.

"Okay."

With that he walked back out and closed the door. I sighed, every single day I hated this place even more.

The depression had taken its hold on me and now I'm sinking deeper into it.

I got up and went to walk out when Hades walked back in. I was stunned, he looked terrible.

He was pale as hell and very thin. There were dark circles under his eyes and he had a few cuts and bruises on his face.

When he looked at me his eyes were dead. They were void of any emotion or light. Yet, I didn't say a word. I didn't know what to say.

It's sad how our relationship has gone to shit like this. We barely talk, he doesn't even sleep in the bed anymore, and we never see each other during the day. Unless he comes in to check on me.

He walked into the closet, but swayed a little as he stood there. Instead of leaving, I sat down and watched him.

It's a good thing I did, because the minute I sat down he collapsed. I got up and walked as fast as I could. I then sat back down and shook him.

"Hades."

No answer.

"Hades!"

Still no answer.

I sighed and checked his pulse, just to make sure. Concerned bubbled in my chest at how fast his heart rate was. I then focused on the way he was breathing which was also very fast.

"Melody, please, get up here! Something is wrong with Hades."

Not even a minute later Melody was sprinting into our room. She checked him before cussing.

"He never listens!" She groaned.

"Listen? What for?"

"He refused to drink or eat and hasn't had any water for a week and a half now." She explained. "I'm going to call the pack doctor."

I nodded as she left to grab a phone. I was going to tell her to mind-link the doctor, but remembered the doctor no longer had her wolf. I focused on Hades again and frowned at him.

A few minutes later she rushed back in with the doctor and carried him out.

I didn't move to follow them, not sure if I should. After a while I sighed in defeat. Now is not the time to be selfish.

So, I shoved back all the hurt from that night and followed after them.

I kept pacing in the waiting room, thinking over the last three weeks. This has to stop, for now on we're talking things out. This is ridiculous how we keep getting hurt. Physically and emotionally. Instead of me moping in self pity and him doing the same or feeling horrible about himself, we're going to work through it.

This is never happening again, I will not lose my mate over something like this. I glanced at my ring and had a new burst of determination.

We both need each other, ignoring each other or getting into arguments or whatever is destroying us. I need him just as much as he needs me.

We're finances for crying out loud. This isn't how we're supposed to act at all.

"Luna?"

I turned around to face the doctor.

"Is he okay?" I asked.

She smiled, "He was severely dehydrated. We have fluids going into him now. He's up right now if you want to see him."

I hesitated before nodding, is he going to want to see me?

When we reached his room she opened the door and I walked in. Hades looked at me in shock, he watched me as I moved a chair closer and slowly sat down.

I looked down at my hands, "We need to stop this."

"Stop what?" He asked.

"Stop treating each other like this! Getting into arguments, insulting each other, and wallowing in our own self pity than being there for each other."

"I did deserve what I got though."

"No, I should have confronted you and talked it out. I don't want us to keep doing this to each other.

In all honesty, we're acting like a middle school couple. We have no idea what the hell we're doing."

He chuckled a bit, "True, so you forgive me?"

"Not yet, why did you say what you said? I know many drunks tell the truth when they're not sober." I asked, kind of afraid of the answer.

He sighed, "I didn't mean any of that. I know what I did was wrong, very wrong in fact. But I love you, if I didn't you wouldn't be here right now. Trust me. I would have never opened up to you or even mark you. I'm so sorry for what I said."

I got up and motioned for him to move over. He gladly moved over as I climbed in.

He wrapped the blanket around us and pulled me closer. He kissed my head before kissing my mark.

I couldn't stand it anymore and I crushed my lips to his. Our lips danced together for goddess knows how long. Sparks flew and whatever depression was left was gone.

Happiness swirled inside of me as my wolf howled in complete bliss.

When we parted for at I slightly whimpered. He chuckled and kissed me again.

We kept kissing until we heard the door knob moving. I rested my head on his chest, listening to his quick heartbeat.

"My heart isn't beating fast because of the lack of water." He whispered, causing me to blush.

The doctor smiled at us as she explained everything. They wanted to keep him over night just to watch him. Then she proceeded to tell him to stop getting hurt.

I laughed and told her he won't before she left. I then kissed his cheek.

"So, we're on good terms now?" He asked.

I nodded, "Except, you're buying me a whole damn trunk load of chocolate. Hershey's I be exact."

"What is up with you and chocolate?"

"It's delicious."

He chuckled and kissed my head. We intertwined our hands and fell asleep. My head resting on his chest and his head resting on mine with us holding hands.
