DAMON.

　　Sitting on a wooden chair in the witch room beside the sick bed of Brittany mother, I looked at Brittany who had been staring at her mum for quite long with a glint of pain and sadness in her eyes. I could see that she really loves her mother. I looked at her mother and smiled at her improvement of her health and well-being. The witch really tried to revive her even though I was the one who took the responsibility to get the cure in a very dark and sacred place. I wouldn't have agreed to go to the sacred place just to get the cure but because she had saved me once and I was the one responsible for her and her mother's predicament because if she had not bothered or had anything concerning me Jake wouldn't have attacked them. I couldn't figure out the main reason why Jake attacked them because the Jake I know wouldn't attack without a reason or to get something in return. I have been asking her what is in her possession that Jake needs but she wouldn't respond to me correctly just making some excuses. That only made me know that she is hiding something.

　　The cure really seemed to be effective on her because her pale face was returning back and the black veins on her face were cleared off even though she didn't wake up. I have a belief that she will wake up soon. I had wanted to talk to Brittany about the discussion I had with my mum but it seems she is still in the trauma of her mum. Her character seems to have changed a lot, her eyes are pale white, she does not talk but stares at the space. This made me know that it isn't her mum's predicament which makes her this way but I think there is more to her current character. I don't know the way I could bring or drop it to her that I want her to be my fake mate.

　　She stared at me with a look which I can't explain. Her expression was either void or blank. Her face doesn't seem to be good. She stood up from the wooden stool and heaved a sigh. Her face seemed to be distressed and blank which caused me to wonder what is wrong with her. She always has this distressed look on her face.

　　"I would be right back. I want to attend to something"before I could think where she was going, she dashed out of the room. This is how she always does, running out of the house without any good reason. I think there is something wrong with her.

　　I faced her mother with curiousity as I heard a hoarse cough, she opened her eyes slightly and her index finger moved. I ran to her and helped her rest her back on the wall properly. With the look on her face, it seems she has been awake for so long but decided or pretended to act like she was asleep.

　　Why did she open her eyes now? Or does she have a message for me that she doesn't want her daughter Brittany to know about?

　　She smiled softly, staring at me like she was reading my mind, she raised her hand and touched my face slightly.

　　"Wow! You are awake. I should go and call Brittany, she would be really happy"I opened my mouth to call Brittany but before I could utter Brittany's name, she placed her hand on her mouth signifying I shouldn't call her. I was surprised by her actions.

　　Just hope her soul isn't exchanged with another person's soul in the unknown world where she was while unconscious. She looked at me and shook her head with a sigh.

　　"Damon, thanks a lot, I really appreciate what you have done for me. I don't think I can repay you. But I owe you one"her statement proved me wrong that her soul is exchanged with another person's soul. I nodded with a soft smile.

　　"You don't have to thank me ma, I helped because you are in need"I said even though I was surprised that she was able to know that I'm the one who brought the cure for her from the sacred place. Or maybe I was the only male who she could think of that would help her and she is a witch so would know.

　　"It's a good thing that you are healthy now. Why didn't you allow me to call your daughter? She would be very happy to see in this condition"

　　"Well, if you had noticed, I have been awake for a long time but I didn't make it known to you because of my daughter Brittany. The reason is because I have an important thing to say to you which I don't want my daughter to know about for now"she said, confirming my assumption that she has been awake for so long.

　　"And what could be that important that you didn't want your daughter to know about?"

　　"Well, it isn't much though but it is about you"

　　"What do you mean? I don't understand"

　　"Okay, let me enlighten you, your mate Carlisle for some reasons more like a rejection because you don't think you can win back her heart again and now your elders are pressuring you to get your mate if not you would be expelled from the pack as the Alpha. Your mother suggests if you would fake a date with Brittany since it seems she had a soft spot for you and you agreed after many days of thinking because you don't have a choice. Now you don't know how you are going to break it down for Brittany. Am I right or wrong?''I was really surprised and shocked to discover that she was aware of what I'm passing through even though she was unconscious then. I recovered from the shock after discovering she is a powerful witch capable of knowing the past, present and future.

　　"Yes you are right"

　　"Well, you must be surprised why I'm saying this but you know what? Even though Brittany has a soft spot for you, she wouldn't adhere to your plan because she does not love anything of such"I looked at her with worry.

　　"Then, who am I going to meet for this fake mate? What am I going to do?"

　　"You don't have to worry yourself, she is my daughter and I know the ways I would use to talk to her that she would adhere to my advice"

　　"Thanks a lot ma"I said and she simply smiled.

　　"You don't have to thank me because like I have said earlier. I owe you one. I should be thanking you for saving my life even though I'm not afraid to die but because of my daughter"Oh! I see the reason she had wanted Brittany not to be here because if she was here she would have known that we planned it.

　　"I think I would take my leave ma. My pack members and parents would have been expecting because I left without dropping my location"I said and stood up, walked toward the door and stopped as she called me back.

　　"Damon, wait I just saw something. The elders would assemble a reminder meeting with you for the mate issues. Just say to them that you've found your mate but she isn't present in the pack that you would bring her soon"I nodded with a smile, this only gives me the determination that she is serious about making her daughter my fake mate. I think there is something fishy because I can't figure out how she would give out her daughter to me to become my fake mate. Well that shouldn't be my problem because I have already found a solution to my predicament so there is nothing for me to worry about.

　　However, neither did I know that something big was coming my way.

　　"You can call Brittany on your way out that I'm awake"I nodded and walked out of the room with a heave of relief. Now I think there is nothing for me to worry about because her mother had agreed.

　　My mum has to hear about this, she would be really happy to hear the news that I have agreed and her mother also.

　　BRITTANY.

　　I sat on a wooden stool beside the entrance of the door, looked up, staring at the space with my pale and white and my character which seemed to be cold. I have to admit it after that cruel man raped me I have been having some characters swing and some certain symptoms. I think I would have to run some tests to know what is wrong with me but before I could do that I would like to see my mom hale and healthy before taking any steps or decision.

　　I looked up, staring at the space, it was the only thing I have been doing. I don't talk with Damon who is in the room staring at me. I stared at my mum whose health was beginning to get better even though she hadn't woken up.

　　Damon is really a nice and humble man, he really helped me just to make sure my mother is okay. He takes the responsibility of bringing the cure from the sacred place for my mum even knowing how dangerous and deadly that place is. He was the reason why my num is looking this hale and healthy because before then the black veins had spread all over her body almost getting to her heart but with the help of the cure the black veins wiped out. I can't appreciate him enough, he cares for me like we are married or something.

　　He is really such a nice person, maybe that was the reason why I'm crushing on him. His mate is really stupid as to leave him, if it were to be me I would have grabbed him immediately because he had the muscular abs, perfect pink lips and nice body structures, and I'm sure he must be very good on the bed.

　　I stood up from the wooden stool abruptly pushing those naughty thoughts from my head as I suddenly felt the urge to vomit. This has been one of the symptoms that I have been experiencing for the past few days. I looked at me with a blank expression trying my best to hide the distress look on my face.

　　"I would be right back. I want to attend to something very important" I said and before he could say anything, I dashed out of the room and got to a nearby opening. I groaned vomiting profusely, after vomiting I fetched a bowl of water and rinsed my face thoroughly.

　　I don't know what is wrong with me lately.

　　I just hope this isn't what I'm thinking.

　　Oh ye Goddess see me through.
