Xade’s pov
The sight of his pale flesh sent a sharp cold wave of dread to settle in my stomach. My heart begins to pound in my chest as the air thickens with anticipation and fear.
I took a step forward, my gaze drifting from the man to behind him where I can see a bit of Avery on the bed. ” What is wrong?” I demanded, moving over, my heart beating painfully in my chest.
He squirmed under my gaze and took a quick look behind him at Avery. Doctor?” I grind out, impatience on my tongue. I want to reach out and grab his neck, squeeze the words out of his mouth by force.
But I do not and instead, I clench my fists at my sides and force myself to remain calm not for me but for Avery’s sake. The doctor’s hesitation made my blood run ice-cold and I could feel the panic rising like a harsh wave.
If I do not get a response soon I just might drown and take him with me.
Doctor,” I hissed once more to capture his attention. The more he remains quiet the more he wastes my time to get to Avery’s side.
“What’s wrong with her?” I urged him to respond, making my voice lace with a bit of my alpha command that had him stiffening.

The sudden trigger is overwhelming her human body,” he finishes, making me turn to give him a what the fuck look.

He squirms, his eyes shifting to her before he clears his throat. “The bleeding has been controlled and is nothing to worry about….it was only triggered by the sudden shift occurring in her body.”
I narrowed my eyes on the smaller man, irritated that he was not getting to the point when my mate was clearly still in pain. ” What does that mean? What’s happening to my mate? Fucking speak up and stop talking in riddles!”
He flinches, his words coming out like a quick squeak. “She’s changing into a werewolf and something has suddenly triggered her to shift. Which should be impossible since she is with child. If we don’t slow it down….her human side could perish entirely.”
