Chapter 37: Chapter 37

Author's POV

It was already dark when Derrick rang the doorbell with an unconscious Aires leaning on his shoulder, he could not understand why Aires had refused to go straight to the hospital, he hope that it will be Jasmine that answers the door if not, Aires will be in real trouble with his Dad, he's aware that Aires does not get along with his dad, although he had no idea about the severity of it, but he had no such luck as it was Aires dad who answered the door,

"What the hell happened to him" he yelled as soon as he sighted Aires unconscious form,

"H...He got into a fight" Derrick replied

"The nerve of him," Mr. Dawson gritted, "what if the press or anyone sees him in this state, this boy is determined to soil my name in the mud"

Derrick frowned, is he being serious? Does he care more about what people will think than what will happen to his son? He shrugged, his own father will probably do worst, he's always away on one business or the other, if something like this happens to him, he could bet his life that no one will even be around for him, at least, Aires dad is home and that's it,

"I should get going now", Derrick stated before turning to leave,

"What the hell are we still waiting for? Let's get him to the hospital" Mrs. Dawson cried, coming in with her wheelchair,

"Where the hell is Jasmine anyways "Mr. Dawson barked

"S...she had a date, she's not back, let's take the boy to the hospital, imagine what people will think when it comes out in the news that something terrible happened to your son because you refused to have him treated"

Mr. Dawson glared at his wife, "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm not, it's a promise of what will happen if you don't do something to save my son"

"Of cause I'll have him treated okay," he glared at her for a moment, "don't you dare threaten me next time" he snapped before moving to get his car keys but Aires suddenly groan,

"My amulet, I...I...t...t..take off my amulet"

Mr. Dawson frowned, "why are you so concerned about your amulet now, you're injured and should be in the hospital "

"T...t..take it off, I'll heal" he whispered before sliding back into unconsciousness

"What's he talking about?" Mr. Dawson asked his wife who had gone white as a sheet,

"N...n... nothing, c... can't you see he's delirious? Hospital, let's take him there"

"Why are you acting weird, is there something that I should know?"

Mrs. Dawson laughed nervously, "know? What you should know is that my son needs immediate treatment"

"Alright, I'll take him to his room and call the doctor to come here instead, that way, words won't go out"

Mr. Dawson lifted Aires and took him straight to his room, of cause he has his reason, he is going to find out what his wife is trying to hide that made her so nervous, lying Aires down on his bed, he unbuttoned his cloth and carefully removed the amulet from his neck, he waited a bit and didn't see anything happening, he was probably overthinking it, he stood up to leave when he saw something strange happening, Aires wounds are healing on their own,

He blinked severally to be certain about what he just saw and of cause, the wounds were healed completely, he walked out of Aires' room as his mind wandered wild, could it be what he is thinking? It will be too good to be true that the son of the man who had murdered his brother had been living under his roof and addressing him as a dad, so ironic that the son of the man he hated the most is with him, but he wasn't sure of that, he will have to find out who exactly is Aires.

Years ago, a werewolf named Dylan Sabastine had reaped out the heart of a wolf hunter, that werewolf hunter he had killed is the only brother of Dawson Garg, if he was not mistaken and Aires is Dylan's son, he has his revenge dished out to him on a gold platter, Aires will be the bait he will use to get to Dylan Sabastine, he was almost certain that the werewolf would be looking for his son, and when he finally finds his son and shows up, that will be the end of him.

By the time Aires opened his eyes, it was already morning, slowly, he stood up from the bed and then stared at his body, he wondered who took off his amulet so he could heal, probably, Jasmine or his mother, after all, they're the only ones on this planet earth who knew about his secret that his body heals on its own, gingerly he stood up but he didn't feel any pain, it was as if nothing had happened to him the previous day, he opened his room door and stepped out, the house was absolutely silent, where was everyone? Perhaps, Jasmine had gone to college, he should check on his mom, he was just about to go to her room when he heard a scraping sound at the dining, he retraced his steps towards the dining, that should be his mom, he was surprised when he went to the dining and saw his father? He looked up when he entered,

"You're awake," he said and Aires frowned,

"Shouldn't you be at work?" He asked and his father sighed,

"Come, sit with me my boy," his father said and Aires was confused, he gazed around to see if there was someone else in the room that his dad could be referring to,

"I'm talking to you, ain't you my son? Come sit with me" his dad repeated pointing out a seat to him, Aires stared at his dad weirdly and wondered what he was up to but he obeyed and sat stiffly on the seat his dad wants him to sit on,

"If you want to punish me because I got into a fight with...."

"On the contrary, I was about to commend you, Alexander has always been my business rival and I was always against your friendship with his son, whatever caused the fight between the two of you, he deserves to be beaten up"

Aires was shocked that his dad actually commend something he did, what was going on?

"I know that you're surprised by what I am doing now because we have always been at odds with each other but I want to tell you that it does not mean that I don't love you, I do and only want you to be someone great and strong but now, I realized that you're a great son and I want to apologize for the way I treated you, will you forgive me?"

Aires blinked severally, wait, is this for real?, "I...I... don't know what to say"

"It's okay, at least I have apologized and I am ready to be the father you have always wanted and to show you how serious I am, I will include you in my business but I need a small favor from you"

Aires swallowed, what could he possibly want from him, he nodded for his father to go ahead and ask,

"I have found the son of the werewolf that killed my brother, very soon, I believe the father will show up too, I want you to help me in my revenge, will you?"

Aires nodded, "just tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it"

His father smiled, Aires couldn't believe this, he would do anything to keep this new side of his dad, he will make sure he help his father carry out his revenge, and together, they'll kill that werewolf that the father has been looking for, he wondered fleetingly who the son of the werewolf is.

"Your wife is pregnant", Damien said and Dylan almost dropped the glass of wine he was about to sip, he frowned in confusion as he stared at his friend, did he just hear correctly?

"What did you just say?" He whispered

"Ariana is pregnant"

"B...b...but she can't have another child, the doctors that came to examine her after the great fight said so, she had a problem with her womb"

"Yeah, I know all that, I've been her doctor for years remember, but, she is pregnant, but...."

Dylan's heart thudded in dread, "but what?"

"She won't make it if she chose to give birth to the baby, to save her life, the baby will have to go"

"No!!!" Ariana said from behind them and they both whirled around, she must have heard what Damien was saying to Dylan, "I...I... I'm pregnant, I won't give up my baby"

Her lips tremble as he ran her hands over her stomach

"Ariana..." Dylan started, walking towards her but she held up her palm to him,

"No Dylan, I will have this baby, even if it means that I'll die and neither you nor anyone can do anything about it

"But...", She had already turned and left before he could complete his sentence, damn it, he turned to Damien,

"What should I do, I can't lose my wife, isn't there a way around it"

"There's no other way, I'm sorry my friend, you have to try and convince her because the more she carries that baby in her womb, the riskier it will be for her",

Dylan nodded, fate is playing a very cruel game with him, first, his son is missing and he has not been able to find him, now his wife is pregnant with another of his child but he is left with the option of choosing between her and his unborn child, a very tough decision but he already made his decision, he can't afford to live without his wife by his side.
