Chapter 43~ what's wrong with Mason?

Evan's p.o.v

I stood by the door watching Dr. Reynolds stitch up jordyn's side. He sighed looking at Mason whom just sat there in silence staring at her. "Alpha can you please just let me check you? Run some tests"

"I told you I'm fine" Mason muttered never taking his eyes away from Jordyn. Dr. Reynolds sighed nodding and stood up taking off his gloves. "She'll be just fine" he said and Mason nodded, I moved out the way as Dr. Reynolds walked out "Thanks" I said quietly and he nodded looking back at Mason then walked away.

We stood in silence and he sighed rubbing his shoulder. "How long have I been out?" He mumbled, "2 weeks" I said making him shake his head.

"Has anything happened? Anything big?"

"Some things... I've been handling it though" I said and he nodded looking at Jordyn. "She's crazy" I muttered and he chuckled nodding "she is" he sighed kissing her forehead. "You should clean her up" I said looking at her body covered in blood. "I should..." He said

"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked frowning as he seemed distant than usual. "I'm fine. You try waking up after two weeks in hell acting all calm and normal" he muttered in distaste.

"What do you mean in hell?" I frowned making him look down. "Nothing. Just forget it"

"What happened to you?" I asked

"I said forget it" he growled glaring at me, Jordyn moaned frowning turning her head in his direction. He sat up quickly grabbing her hand, she sighed opening her eyes slowly and blinked looking around. She looked at me with her violet eyes and frowned "Evan?" She moaned

"You're okay" I said standing next to the bed, "what happened?" She asked "you and sarafina are crazy. That's what happened" I said making her glare at me, she frowned looking down touching her side and sighed closing her eyes.

"Sarafina" she mumbled closing her eyes, "what were you thinking?" I asked. "I was thinking about getting my Mate back" she muttered glaring at me.

I looked at Mason as he stared at her, she sighed looking down at herself seeing all the blood. She gasped looking at herself wide eyed, she looked at me then her eyes widened in realisation, she looked behind her quickly seeing Mason sitting there.

"Mason" she whispered sitting up "stay down" he said holding her down. She whimpered hugging him tightly and he closed his eyes inhaling her scent hugging her tightly. She cried hugging him and he kissed her shoulder, "your back" she cried

"I'm here now" he whispered with his eyes closed holding her. He looked at me and I nodded walking away leaving them alone, I walked out closing the door behind me and sighed.

"He really killed her" I heard Aarlik snort "yup. Good riddance" I muttered making him frown "what did she ever do? Why did he want to kill her so badly?" He asked curiously.

"That's none of your business" I said walking away but he just frowned "and let it stay that way Aarlik" I said sternly making him roll his eyes.

"Yeah yeah" he said leaning against the wall. I walked upstairs going into my room seeing Ms. Glenda standing there. "I was just about to feed him" she smiled making me grin "I can do it" I said and she smiled handing me the bottle. "Thanks for taking care of him" I said taking the bottle "the pleasure is all mine" she grinned waving at Scott whom smiled at her.

I smiled picking him up cradling him in my arms, he beamed at me making me grin. I kissed his head putting the bottle in his mouth sighing.

"Hopefully things will calm down now" I whispered making him look at me smiling.

Jordyn's p.o.v

I pulled away sniffling and cupped his face looking at Mason, he leaned into my touch opening his eyes and I sighed staring at his hazel eyes.

"I can't believe you. I can't believe you would go near her after I told you not to" he muttered making me look down. "I didn't know what else to do. I couldn't let you stay in a coma forever" I said making him sigh.

He put his forehead on mine shaking his head "I'm sorry" I whispered. "You can't be so careless Jordyn-"

"It's better than feeling weak and helpless" I muttered laying down, he rubbed my side staring at me, "jordyn" he mumbled tensely making me look at him, "hold me?" He whispered making me frown "are you okay?" I asked sitting up. He moved closer and I wrapped my arms around him hugging him tightly against me. He sighed inhaling my scent wrapping his arms around me, "we need a shower. I can barely smell your scent being covered in her blood" he said and I gulped picturing her throat being ripped out.

"You killed her" I mumbled

"Yeah... It felt good" he said making me look at him, "how are we going to find the facility now?" I asked and he looked at me. "Evan told me they captured Anna. We can use her" he said and I sighed nodding. "Come. Let's shower"

"Together?"

"Together. Now" he said standing up and walked to the doors, I frowned as he seemed off. Like distant... More distant that usual. He was tense...

"Mason are you sure you're okay?" I asked sitting up "I'm fine. I just want to shower with you" he said walking to the door opening it. He looked at me and I slowly crawled off the bed. I winced holding my side walking and he grabbed me, I gasped as he picked me up walking out the room.

"You were in a coma for 2 weeks and you still pick me up like its nothing" I muttered "your not heavy" he shrugged making me roll my eyes.

He walked upstairs holding me and went to our room that's barely been used these past two weeks.

He put me down sighing and closed the door behind him. He looked around the room as I went into the bathroom, I turned on the shower and looked at myself in the mirror. I was completely covered in blood, my face, my clothes, my hair.

I shivered picturing her throat getting ripped open again.

I toed off my shoes looking in the mirror as Mason slowly walking in behind me. I stood there tensely watching him closely.... He didn't seem like himself.

And it was making me nervous.

He looked at me in the mirror walking to me and I felt his hands in my hips, he lifted my shirt up and I raised my arms letting him take my shirt off. I turned around facing him and took off his shirt looking at his healed up body.

I kissed his shoulder sighing and he held my waist tightly, I looked up at him worriedly as he just stared in the mirror with a blank expression.

I cupped his face making him look at me "Hey" I whispered softly, he blinked looking down at me. "Let's shower" I said and he nodded unbuttoning my jeans pulling them down. I untied his pyjama pants and pushed them down along with his boxers. He went into the shower quietly and I bit my lip

'Something is wrong' sarafina frowned

I took off my underwear going in the shower closing the curtain behind me and he just stood there looking at the water.

I went in front of him making him look down at me, "you're not fine" I said shaking my head. "I am" he mumbled nodding, he put me under the warm water and I watched the water turn red from the blood. He grabbed the soap washing the blood off my body and I stared at him frowning.

"Mason... Talk to me" I whispered

"I just want to wash you off" he muttered rubbing my body. I bit my lip staring at him, I grabbed his hands stopping him and cupped his face making him look at me. "What happened?" I whispered

He stared down at me and grabbed my waist pulling me against his body bending his head kissing me deeply. He held the back of my neck holding me in place and I frowned kissing back as the kiss felt somewhat desperate.

I tried to pull away but he tightened his grip around me pressing me against the cool wall. "Mason" I muffled against his lips trying to push him, I shoved him away hard and he looked at me with hard eyes.

"Mason what's going on? Just talk to me" I said looking at him worriedly, we stood in silence just staring at each other and I frowned hugging myself. "Say something" I whispered making him blink, "I need to get some air" he muttered stepping out the shower. I stood there frowning as he walked out the bathroom wrapping a towel around himself slamming the door making me jump.

What the hell is going on?

****

"Where's Mason? I heard he woke up" Xavier said standing next to me. "He um... He went for a walk" I mumbled eating a grape. "You okay? You seem off" he chuckled stealing my fruit, "I'm fine... He just... He's not acting like himself" I said making him frown.

"What do you mean?"

"It's hard to explain but there's just something off about him. He's distant. More than usual. He seems more... Dark"

"Dark?" Xavier frowned and I ran my fingers through my hair "it's hard to explain" I sighed leaning on the table. "Well have you talked to him?"

"I tried. But he doesn't answer me"

"Maybe something happened when he was in his coma. He could've been in that dream state you went to. Remember? That's when your eyes turned" he said

"Yeah... I can't forget" I muttered looking down; "maybe that's it. He was out for 2 weeks. It could've effected him" he said stealing my fruit. I slapped his hands away "there's more in the fridge. Get your own" I grumbled pushing his hands, "but yours is so good" he grinned making me glare at him.

He snatched my bowl away stuffing his face, I stood up slapping his head trying to grab my bowl back. "Give it back!" I said hitting him, he growled grabbing my waist pulling me away, "mine!" He said grinning.

"Xavier give me my bowl!" I yelled climbing on his back grabbing his hair, "seriously? It's like you two are kids again" we heard and looked seeing my Dad standing there.

"He took my fruit" I wined making him chuckle, "Xavier give it back" he said crossing his arms over his chest. "Fine. You're such a baby" Xavier said handing me my bowl making me smile.

"You ate it all!" I yelled making him laugh, "you jerk!" I said hitting his chest. I yelped as he slapped my behind "you started it" he said and I pushed him "alright enough. You guys are like teenagers"

"We are teenagers" I frowned "immature teenagers I mean. Grow up" Dad said making us roll our eyes, I chuckled looking at the doorways seeing Mason standing there staring at us.

"H-Hey" I said nervously walking to him, "Hi" he said. "Did you have a nice walk?" I asked touching his arm and he nodded staring at me. "I'm going to go to bed" he said kissing my forehead "are you hungry?" I asked as he walked away "no. Goodnight" he said walking upstairs.

"Wow. I see what you mean" Xavier frowned watching him, "he didn't even glare at me or threaten me" he said.

"What's wrong with him?" Dad asked

"I don't know" I mumbled looking down, "he'll be fine. He just woke up. Let him get used to being conscious" Xavier said putting his arm around my shoulders.

"Yeah" I mumbled leaning against him biting my lip...

****

I opened my eyes sleepily and sighed looking next to me seeing Mason wasn't in bed. I blinked turning over and froze as he was standing at the foot of the bed wearing only his boxers watching me.

'Oh no thank you. This is some scary movie scene right here!' Sarafina said wide eyed

"M-Mason?"

"Go back to sleep" he said in a monotone voice, I sat up slowly looking at him. "what are you doing?" I asked cautiously. "I can't sleep... I don't want to go back to sleep" he said shaking his head.

"Why? Are you scared?" I asked

"Go back to sleep" he said again

What the hell is wrong with him?

"Come to bed..."

"I'm fine here"

"Well I want to touch you... Please" I said and be blinked standing up straighter "you'll hold me?" He asked sounding like a little kid.

"If you want me to. I will" I said and he nodded, I patted the spot on the bed and he crawled on it getting under the covers.

I wrapped my arms around him pulling him to me and he held my arms putting his head on my chest. I kissed his head wrapping my leg around his waist holding him close to me and he sighed deeply letting the tension go.

I stared down at him worriedly as he stroked my arm staring out the window with a blank expression.

What is wrong with him?...
