Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

Chapter 0153 Hector POV

I watch in silence, on the sides completely helpless as the medical staff try to revive my mate. I don't know how but they managed to get a pulse back, but she was now breathing only by machines their sterile inhuman tubes coming out of her like a nightmare. I can't believe this is happening all over again.

Her body

It took all my energy just to remember to breathe, to keep my wolf calm. To trust the doctor, trust the process...even though it is the hardest thing I've ever had to do....watch from the sides as my mate's life is in the balance.

You take for granted the simple things in life like breathing, until you struggle to do so and it becomes at battle.

My own lungs trying to drown me as if I was back in the stormy sea, the waves trying to pull me under.

My heart feels as if it is being carved out of my chest. Both my lungs and heart at the mercy of these machines.

"I'm going to move her into intensive care...but alpha she isn't out of the woods yet. You need to prepare yourself." The doctor's voice holds a caution within it.

"Prepare myself for what?"

"That she might not make it through the night..." The doctor's hand gently lands on my shoulder, his gesture trying to comfort me in what will be the longest night on my life.

"She was in the water for too long..." I groan out, I should have been quicker,

I shouldn't have waited. I should have known she would have gone there.

"You got to her as quickly as you could. Thank the goddess you found her..that you tried to stop her."

"Stop her?"

"Forgive me Alpha, I presumed she jumped." His voice is low, as he turns me towards the hallway... away from the nurses ears.

I was in such a state of shock from the event that it hadn't even occurred to me why she was exactly ont the cliff tops.

"She jumped?" I can feel the furrowing of my own eyebrows as I ask the question myself.

"I found this by the side of Alpha Beckett's hospital bed... The doctor quietly murmurs in my ear, pulling out something from his white coat pocket. He reveals the empty syringe that he had held up during the attempts to revive Beckett. "What was in it.."

"It's the sedative I gave Alpha.....morphine mixed with wolfsbane to help plerce the skin. I left it out in error

"What are you saying?"

"Beckett was slurring....she begged to give him more. But she either gave him too much by accident or "

"Or what?" I growl, I didn't like what he was insinuating

The doctor doesn't reply, just sighs out, his hands rubbing vigorously on his forehead, so much so that it leaves a mark. "Let's just see how tonight goes."

Was he saying what I thought he was saying? Why would Kaia do such a thing...she loved her Father, if anything too much.

She had put him on a pedestal, trying to impress him and also make up for the time she had been away. As if it were her fault that she left him...some kind of guilt she was trying to make amends for.

She is transferred into the intensive care unit and I make sure my eyes remain on her the entire time. I refused to leave, even when the doctor said I should at least put dry clothes on.

I hadn't even noticed that I was still soaking wet. My skin was warm but the clothes were the same I wore when I raced into the water.

Hours past.

I'm not clock watching however the room is blanketed with a darkness from the lack of sunlight and I only realise how late it must be when a nurse walks into switch the lights on. The soft beeping of th
