Odysseus

Chapter 14

It had happened suddenly, causing a scream to escape Odysseus' mouth as he laid in his bed. He panted as he felt a pressure on his chest, causing him to desperately claw at his throat and chest. He was blinded by the immense and sudden pain, he couldn't see the blood slowly pooling onto his sheets. His screams echoed through the packhouse, awakening a few wolves, including his Beta. His doors were shoved open and his light was flicked on, revealing a horrified Alonzo. 

"Yo, dude! Stop!" Alonzo yelled, trying to pin Odysseus down. 

"It won't stop! Make it stop!" Odysseus screamed. 

He shoved Alonzo's hands away, shocking the Beta by his strength. Odysseus continued clawing at himself, yelling about something strangling him. Alonzo ran his hand through his hair and mind-linked the doctor and Jen, completely lost as he watched Odysseus spill more of his own blood. 

"Odyssues, stop it!" Alonzo yelled, trying once again, to pin him down.

"Please...make it stop." Odysseus whimpered, growing tired.

The doctor ran in, staring at Odysseus in shock. Blood covered his chest, throat, pillows, and sheets. "What...the hell..." he trailed off.

Alonzo looked up at him, "I-I don't know...he just started screaming..." 

"I've never seen something like this." 

"Is he going to be okay?" Alonzo asked.

The doctor walked over and gently felt Odysseus' head, "We'll have to see."

"Val, we have to go. Now." Jen said, barging into the house.

Valentina slowly stood up, her body was aching from the spell. "Why?"

"Odyssues has been clawing himself, saying something about making it stop. They had to tie him up. I know you hate him, but your touch may be able to calm him."

Valentina paled, "What time is it?"

"We've been here for three hours, you passed out." 

"He's not strong enough." the witch whispered, so only Valentina could hear.

Valentina quickly followed behind Jen, she had no idea what to think. 

"Your grandmother warned you. You would regret this decision." her wolf sneered.

"I thought it would take a few days."

"And if it did, you would still regret it. I understand the need to get away from him, he cheated on you. But instead of killing him, making him earn your forgiveness would have been better."

"I didn't know..."

"Listen, if we can calm him down and help him through this, then he could probably live. We have a week, until he goes to Alpha Seth's pack. If he can live through the four days, then he'll be fine."

"How do you know this?"

"Just because your weak ass passed out, doesn't mean I was out. I was awake and took control, the witch was reading through a book, telling me that he just has to survive four days afterwards."

Valentina remained silent as she sat in the car, she thought over what her wolf said. She thought Odysseus would have been strong enough, he didn't care for her, he lusted after that other female. Her heart was pounding against her chest as they grew closer to the packhouse, the second they had walked inside, they could hear his screams. Jen was shocked when Valentina suddenly sprinted up the stairs and down the Alpha hall. 

She clapped a hand over her mouth when she saw him, covered in blood, claw marks, and tied up in silver chains. Alonzo seemed relieved when he saw her, he scurried over to her.

"Please tell me you can fix this." he pleaded.

Valentina walked towards him, tears pooled into her eyes when she saw tears leaking down his face. The chains cut through his skin, burning him. She softly cupped his cheek, causing him to immediately freeze any movement. He snapped his eyes open, she let out a choked sob when she saw they were glazed over with pain.

"I'm sorry." she whispered.

He only stared at her, "Why?" he whimpered. "I-I was sorry...I love you not her." 

Valentina clenched her jaw, "I'm so sorry." 

"What did you do?" 

She turned to see Jen glaring at her, "What did you make my witch friend do?" she demanded.

Valentina swallowed, "T-to destroy the bond..." 

"What? Are you fucking insane!?" Jen sneered. "You're killing him!"

"No, I-I can help him-

"You caused this, how could you help him?" she spat.

Valentina looked back at Odyssues to see him sleeping, she frowned and grabbed the chains. She ignored the seering pain as she broke them, when she finally got the chains away from him, he sighed. She ignored everyone and wrapped her arms around him. 

"I can help him." she whispered again. 

Jen silently watched as the wounds slowly started to heal, but he still tried clawing himself. Valentina winced when he accidentally clawed her abdomen, causing her shirt to become soaked with blood rather quickly. But Valentina didn't care, she put her body between his hands, protecting his body from himself. She grew dizzy as her blood slowly mixed with his dried blood. 

"I can help him."

A/N: Warning or SPOILER, when she's angry at him at Seth's packhouse...it's gonna be for a hilarious reason.
