Kai became so tense and excited.
He grabbed his beta's arm and peppered him with questions. "Where is she? Where's Zara? Tell me right now!"
"A mountain village in the Southwest." The beta felt like throwing up from being shaken so violently.
Kai's face lit up with joy as he headed for the exit. Several pack elders tried to block his way.
Kai actually threw a punch, knocking down the closest person. Only Zara mattered to him now—everything else was irrelevant.
Kai frantically drove toward the airport.
He sped the entire way, and while running a yellow light at an intersection, he was hit by a truck that was also trying to beat the light.
Bang!
His car was crushed and deformed, with the seat trapping his leg.
He desperately tried to unbuckle his seatbelt and pull his leg free, but the harder he struggled, the more stuck he became.
Within minutes, his leg had swollen up, blood soaking through his pants.
Fortunately, rescue workers arrived quickly and pulled him from the wreckage.
Before they could get him onto the stretcher, he was already struggling to get down and limping forward.
"Get the hell away from me! I gotta find my Luna!" Kai glared at the paramedics chasing after him.
"Sir, your leg needs immediate treatment, or you risk amputation." The paramedics tried to reason with him.
Kai ignored them and kept walking forward. His only thought was getting to Zara.
This past year and a half without Zara had been pure hell—he'd barely eaten, barely slept, barely focus on doing anything.
"Baby, I'm coming for you," Kai whispered.
However, the next second, he collapsed.
He tried several times to get back up but couldn't find the strength, finally allowing himself to be forcefully taken to the hospital.
Kai refused to cooperate during the whole treatment. He only wanted to get discharged and go find Zara.
"Let me out! I need to find my mate!"
"Get away from me!"
"Don't touch me!"
Kai kept trying to get out of bed, falling each time, only to be lifted back onto the bed again.
When his mother arrived, she found Kai acting completely unhinged.
Her face was grim as she demanded that the healers sedate him and force treatment.
Kai was strapped to the bed, glaring viciously at his mother, all traces of his former composure gone.
"Let me go find Zara! What gives you the right to have them tie me down?"
"Mom, you couldn't even keep Dad around—are you trying to make me lose my mate too?"
Kai had lost all reason, speaking without thinking, yet hitting his mother's most painful spot. "Let me go find Zara!"
Slap!
His mother struck him hard across the face, her eyes red as she looked at him. "Kai, I am so ashamed of you right now."
"You caused all of this mess. If you could've just kept your head on straight and not crashed your car, you wouldn't be stuck in this hospital. Your legs are fucked up right now—are you planning to crawl to her?"
"If I'd known you'd turn out like this, I would've stopped Zara from getting involved with you in the first place! Think about what you've done—I'm so disappoint of you!"
She turned and left, slamming the hospital room door behind her.
Kai sat there stunned, only now realizing he'd hurt his mother too.
From that day on, Kai cooperated fully with his treatment. His legs healed better than expected.
Soon he was able to walk around.
The moment he was discharged, he bought the earliest airport ticket to find Zara.
