Alpha Lockwood Chapter 144
Brenda:I never thought I would hate hospitals as much as I did now.It was not the smell, and it was not the white walls, and it was not even the constant chorus of machines that reminded everyone how quickly life could change. What I could not stand was the waiting. The waiting that stretched and folded into every hour until hope felt like a fragile thing I could not hold without it slipping through my fingers.Thankfully, my dispute with Nathan seems to have perished, but the whole idea of the problem was still there. Because Mia did not open her eyes, and I didn’t even know when she was going to.I was sitting in the small family lounge on Mia’s floor when Rosalyn climbed onto the couch beside me. The little girl looked exhausted in a way that made my chest ache. The past week had taken a toll on everyone, but seeing it on a child felt especially cruel. She was quieter now, and knowing that she is a child who should be laughing and running and asking a million questions. Instead
Alpha Lockwood Chapter 143
Nathan:A week had passed since Mia had been laid in that hospital bed, and she still had not opened her eyes.The doctors kept giving me the same rehearsed reassurances every time they came through the door: her vitals were stable, her brain activity was normal, these things took time. Those sentences were meant to soothe, but they had become a mantra that only sharpened the edge of my impatience, because time was the one thing I felt like I was running out of.I pushed open the door to her room and froze the instant I saw who was sitting at the bedside. Brenda was there, perched on the small chair beside Mia’s bed, holding Mia’s hand as if she belonged there, and my jaw tightened so fast it hurt.I had been gone for less than two hours; I had left to handle a lead in the investigation and had made it perfectly clear before I left that nobody was to enter this room without my approval, especially not Brenda. And now that I was back and she was here, it took every bit of self control
Alpha Lockwood Chapter 142
Elijah:I found Brenda exactly where I had left her, curled into one of the waiting room chairs with her gaze fixed on the floor and the world around her reduced to a dull, distant hum.She looked exhausted in a way I had never seen before; her eyes were swollen from crying and her shoulders slumped as if the strength she usually wore like armor had been stripped away.I walked toward her quietly, not wanting to startle her, and when she did not notice me at first I let the silence stretch for a moment so she could gather whatever thread of composure she had left.“Hey,” I said softly, because there was nothing else to say that would make the ache in her voice go away. “How are you feeling?”Her lower lip trembled and she whispered, “She almost died,” the words barely audible, as if saying them louder would make them more real. “How am I supposed to feel, Elijah?”“She’s still here,” I said, and she shook her head, the motion small and desperate. “And she is going to be okay. The docto

Nathan:I should have left the hospital wing.That was the lie I kept repeating to myself as I stood outside Mia’s hospital room long after the doctors had finished speaking to me.“Her surgery went well, Alpha. She lost a lot of blood, she is strong, but she will recover, Alpha.” The pack doctor said, looking at me. “She is going to need to rest to be able to fully recover, but she is okay.”Those words should have been enough to calm me, but they did nothing. And worst of all, I remembered the way she had looked at me right before it happened, as if she had wanted to say something, as if there had been words trapped inside her that I would never hear.I scrubbed a hand over my face. I hated seeing her lying in that bed, pale and still, because Mia had never been weak. She had always been the strongest person I knew, and seeing her like this felt wrong in a way I could not put into words.A soft knock pulled me from my thoughts.“Alpha…” the nurse said slowly. “I am so sorry to bothe
Alpha Lockwood Chapter 140
Brenda:It should have been me.The thought would not stop repeating itself, circling through my mind like a punishment I deserved, like a curse I had earned. I sat outside the operating room with Mia’s blood still staining my hands. And every time I closed my eyes, I found myself seeing her throwing herself in front of me, taking the bullet that should have hit me…My stomach twisted so violently I thought I might be sick. And what made it worse was the way that I spoke to her.“I am tired of all of it.” “Everything is wolves.” “You always get it all.”I didn’t mean those words… I was angry, and I threw that anger out on her… I am so sorry…The waiting room doors burst open, and I watched as Nathan stepped out. For a second the entire room went quiet, well, more quiet than it already was.His shirt was soaked in Mia’s blood, his hands were covered in it. He didn’t even look like the human that we’ve grown used to seeing; he was the Alpha, the mate, the man whose entire world was curr
Alpha Lockwood Chapter 139
Nathan:Something was wrong, and I felt it before I heard anything, before anyone spoke, and before a single alarm was raised. I was in my office reviewing patrol reports when my wolf surged forward with such violent force that the papers on my desk scattered across the floor. A growl tore from my chest, not out of anger but out of something far worse. It was fear, raw and immediate, the kind that hollowed out the lungs before the mind could catch up.Then I heard her.It was not Mia’s voice. It was Sylvia’s, her wolf, calling out through the bond in a way that was not physical or audible. It was deeper, older, and unmistakable. It was a mate’s cry, a sound that carried pain and desperation and a plea for help that struck straight through my spine.My chair crashed backward as I shot to my feet, frowning as my wolf grew more alert than I knew he already was.“Nathan?”Elijah barely had time to react before I was already moving. My heart hammered against my ribs with a force that felt
Alpha Lockwood Chapter 105
Tania:The front doors slammed open so violently that the entire house shook, I didn’t flinch, at least not in any way the eye could see. I caught his scent and I was already aware of his arrival.But my wolf didn’t agree with my reaction. She recoiled instantly, as if she had recognized the danger
Alpha Lockwood Chapter 104
Mia:The first thing I realized when I stepped out of Nathan’s room the next morning was that Celeste’s tea actually worked.Thank God.Because if I had to spend another day overheating every time Nathan looked at me, I genuinely might have died from embarrassment alone.Not that Nathan helped, not
Alpha Lockwood Chapter 102
Mia:I wanted the floor to swallow me whole.That was the only thought running through my head as I sat on the edge of Nathan’s bed wearing one of his shirts while an older woman calmly unpacked herbs and small glass bottles from a leather bag near the table.She was Nathan’s healer, which somehow
Alpha Lockwood Chapter 100
Mia:“You know that you don’t have to be cleaning the mess, right?” Nathan’s voice took me off guard as he walked into the room. “Though I am not even sure how this mess actually seemed to happen, but I would assume that a little princess would have been the reason behind it.”“She chose to play th
