FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA 90. Vigil.
~ AUNT GAIA ~This part of the hospital is too quiet for my liking. Too sterile. Too clean. Like it doesn’t want to remember the young woman who is barely clinging to her life just down the corridor.Here in the hospital, I fear that bad things have tendencies to grow more wings during the night. The silence here is the kind that twists into your bones. The kind that makes you hear even the faintest drop of a pin.But it is what it is. For the sake of the patients.I stop outside Layla’s room, staring at the door like it might open on its own. Like she might be standing behind it, arms crossed, lips curled in a happy smile that reminds me so much of how strangely beautiful she is. And strong.But none of that happens. The door doesn't open on its own.Sighing, I push the door open gently.There she is.Lying on that bed.Looking so still.Too still.Those machines are still beeping and keeping her alive with tubes and IV lines attached to her. The monitor above her bed has those green

~LAYLA~Where am l?The world here is not black. It is not even darkness. It is like a strange kind of endless light that is both blinding and soft, too quiet and too loud.And I am swimming in it, floating like I am submerged into the deepest parts of a forsaken lake.I don’t know where I am.I don’t know if I am alive.But I hear him.Raelin’s voice.It is like a soft sound whispering into my ears. He is whispering something I can’t hear fully, only that it is meant for me. ‘I love you.’‘I fucking love you with all my heart and everything I have to give.’Somehow, I can feel the grief in his voice. We are mated, and he sounds like those words are the only consolation he still believes in.I love him too. And—Wait, I…. I feel like I am sinking deeper and deeper into this lake. But then, hot flashes of familiar memories swipe through my eyes.The first is my father. He is laughing and watching me on a spring day where I am running in our backyard, barefoot in the grass, my white cu

~RAELIN~The next morning, I am already back at the hospital.The first light of the morning has risen, but it brings no peace to me where I am seated in the corner of Layla’s hospital room, near her bed.Watching her is like having my own eyes stabbing a knife into my heart. The machines beside her murmur steadily. A false reassurance. Every beep, every breath, and every passing second is just a reminder that she is here, but not really here.“Please,” I whisper, picking up her hand and cradling it in mine, “Wake up.”But no response.I came straight from the artillery room last night. I didn’t even change out of my gear. I didn’t sleep. I couldn’t. Sleep is a luxury I can’t afford these days. Not with Layla lying here, looking like death and broken and so… so frozen.I can't sleep when I know that Ryker Lockhart is still breathing somewhere out there, plotting who-knows-what behind the blood-soaked walls of his callous business.After I came into the hospital, I made it clear to the
FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA 87. Plans.
~RAELIN~About quarter of an hour later, I am returning with another set of meat burgers for Erin.He had requested more, so I had left to fulfill the little guy's request.The paper bag in my hand crumples slightly as I open the door of the hospital room and find Erin already halfway through finishing his first burger. The sauce is smeared across his cheek like brown paint.I love that he is eating so well despite everything that has happened.He looks up at me when I enter fully and shut the door. Watching him eat makes me feel more relieved that he appears a little less downcast than before.“I told you I was starving,” he mumbles mouthfully and continues chewing.“You weren’t lying,” I flash him a warm smile and give him the rest of the burgers before I move to settle down on my lonely chair right beside Layla. I watch her, pushing back the sting behind my eyes.Her vitals beep softly, reminding me that time is ticking by and yet, she is still not waking up. Her unmoving lashes re
FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA 86. So Much Trauma.
~RAELIN~I stay quiet for a while because I am trying to figure out what exactly I can say to that.Layla means so much to him. Possibly everything.“You’re not going to lose her,” I reassure him, trying to add more strength and conviction to my voice. I am also doing so to reassure myself that Layla will definitely make it.I will not lose her. We will not lose her.A heavy, long pause settles over us once more. Erin leans back against the window and stares at her again. “You still want to kill Ryker, don’t you?” he asks me after a few silent breaths.“I want to do more than kill him.” I answer honestly with all the anger I feel towards that bastard.Erin nods slowly. “Then you’ll need to know as much as possible about Ryker,” he adjusts on his chair again, not saying anything further for a while.I stay still and quiet, waiting for him, on his own, to come to the point of telling me all he knows about Ryker. Even though I badly need answers on who the fuck Ryker is and what ties or
FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA 85. Home And Family.
~RAELIN~By late afternoon, I am back again in the hospital, sitting in the exact same chair I sat on this morning beside Layla’s bed.All I can pathetically do is stare at her, while praying deeply in my heart that she makes it back. She is going through a mental war, and I can't lose her. Fuck I can't. She means the world to me, and her present, helpless condition bleeds my heart so much that I can't do anything to save her from the shackles of her coma right now.So, all I can do is keep staring, protecting, and praying. And I have been this way for hours like a stone that refuses to crumble because if I crack, I might shatter entirely.And Layla needs me whole and strong by her side now. Across from me, Erin is sitting with his back against the window sill, a little far from the bed. He hasn’t spoken for a while now, and he just stares at his sister with dark, heavy eyes that appear both angry and like he is also holding back himself from breaking down into tears. The early eveni
