The Wolf In Me

Mei's POV

Lylah filled me in with the details of what has happened that afternoon whilst I was out shopping around the human world, trying to find clothes that could fit my fat pregnant belly. My stomach twisted at the end of the explanation and my legs felt unstable beneath my heavy body.

"Where is he?" I urged myself to speak, though I barely felt that it was me talking.

"Come with me," Lylah said reaching for my arm to help me walk more stable.

My feet dragged through the hall, towards the hospital area and finally, my eyes rested on the lifeless body of my beloved mate. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks and my breathing was getting heavier. This was not good.

"Luna," Jake called from the other bed.

My eyes shifted towards him and Melody as they were watching me for a while in silence. I felt Lylah resting a hand over my shoulder and reached for one arm to help me sit down on the chair next to my mate. Drowning in tears, I rested my hand over his forehead, removing a few strands of hair that rested there.

"His vitals are still steady and strong. The doctors think that the demon drained all his energy at once. So they gave him something to help him rest further. He will be fine, don't worry."

Jake asserted, nodding his head.

"What happened to you?" I asked finding my voice again.

Jake turned his head towards his bedsheets for a few seconds like he was thinking from where to start.

"I saw.....it," he mumbled, turning his gaze towards Melody, then us.

Lylah opened her eyes wide as worry flooded through her.

"You looked?" She asked him. "Did you look through the mirror?" She asked again, this time raising her voice as her life depended on his answer.

Jake nodded and before he could speak, Lylah rushed outside for a good while and returned with the mirror from her room which was covered with a cloth.

"The demon is trapped in this mirror, for now. If he manages to find it's way out, you are his next victim. We must find a better way to rid him of this earth."

The moment he turned towards the mirror, the demon showed itself to him as rage-filled its body. The demon spoke to Luka telepathically with its toneless voice that
