Xavier POV
As she fell unconscious, I quickly grabbed hold of her tightly and pressed her to my chest and ran at a speed I have never run before. I dashed passed all the pack members while slowly growling at them to give me space, who had curious looks on their face. But I shrugged them off. The only person that had all my attention was the girl in my arms, my mate.
I reached the pack clinic and I brought my mate inside as I laid her in one of the empty beds that the doctor, Andy, had told me. I had mind-linked him earlier about the situation. He went to examine her. As he was about to touch her, I growled out, not wanting another male to touch what’s mine.
“I have to examine her and in order to do so, I need to touch her. With your permission Alpha.” he explained to me. I quickly grant him permission. As he examined her, he turned his head to me. “With all due respect Alpha, I need you to leave the room if I have to treat her.” he said as he bowed his head to me.
Just then, my beta, Noah has entered the room. When the doctor suggested for me to leave, I let out a growl, not wanting to be separated away from my mate or let her be with another male wolf. “Hey man, let the doctor do his job. If you want her to be treated well, you have to step out.” Noah suggested to me. Noah was not just my Beta but also a good friend of mine.
Wanting my mate to be alive I agreed and stepped out. As I stepped out, the doctor quickly got on to his work. I leaned against the wall and I slid down. My tears were threatening to come. But I cannot let myself be vulnerable. I had to be strong.
However, my wolf, Damien, was howling in agony after seeing our mate in that condition. “We cannot let anything happen to our mate. We have to protect her no matter what. Even if it meant going to hell and back.” Damien said as I heard the despair in his. “Nothing would happen to her. We would die before we let anything happen to her.” I told him trying to calm him down.
I felt someone touch my shoulder. As I opened my eyes, I saw Noah looking at me as he took a deep sigh. ” Don’t worry. Nothing would happen to her. You have to be strong for her. Both of you will live happily ever after.” He said as he tried to cheer me up. I just nod my head as a sad smile form when he says happily ever after.
It has been 45 minutes since I have been waiting and there was no information about my mate. Just as I was about to barge in, doctor Andy came. I rushed to him immediately, ” How is she? Is she okay? Can I see her?” I started to bomber him with questions.
Noah put a hand on my shoulder to stop me from rambling. ” She is fine. She has lost a lot of blood. But she is stable now.” he said as a sigh of relief left my lips. “But there is something I have to tell you.” he said as I sensed fear from him. That tensed my body. I glared at him to continue not wanting the suspense.
He gulped before, ” She was extremely weak when you brought her not only because she had lost a lot of blood but also because of lack of consumption of food. It seems she has not eaten for about 5 to 6 days, which made her body very weak. This eventually led to….” he paused as if not wanting to go on. I let a growl want him to go on so that I know what had happened to my mate.
“Sh-she has go-gone into co-coma” she stuttered. “RAWRRRRRR!!!!” As soon as I registered what he said I let out a earth shattering growl as the ground shook. When I opened my eyes the doctor was kneeling down in submission and Noah had his head down in submission.
Damien was clawing, wanting to be let out. But I had controlled him as I did not want the situation to get any worse. ” What do you mean she is in a coma? when will she wake up?” I questioned with so much authority, I was surprised he was yet to pee in his pants. “I am not sure, but she will. Her body and mind is just weak to work together. But she will wake up soon.” That at least calmed me a bit. But not enough. I dismissed him after that. wanting to see my mate,
That is when I realised something. The doctor said she had not eaten for five days. I quickly called Noah. ” I want you to find out who has been serving my mate for the past few days and lock him up in the dungeon. Got it?” I told him. He nodded his head as he walked away after being dismissed by me.
I turned around and went towards the door my Bella was in. I took one deep breath before opening the door.
There she was. laying down in the white bed. It looked like she was sleeping peacefully, But honestly she was anything but peaceful. As I walked towards her bed, my breathing became rigid. As my Damien looked at our mate this way, he became too upset that he blocked me.
I took a seat by the side of her bed and grabbed her hand that was not injured. I did not like seeing my Bella this way. I was supposed to protect her. I placed a small kiss on her fingers as I felt sparks in my lips. My lips start to quiver, not able to see my mate like this.
I pressed her cold hands to my cheeks to calm myself as I intake her scent.
“Please wake up, my love.” I said hoping she would hear me.
