Max's POVI push it aside as he reaches down and locks the wheels.“I'm going to help you stand,” he says, straightening and meeting my eyes. “But I need you to let me take your weight, all right? Don't try to be a hero.”“I can stand, Xander.”His eyebrows rise.“Can you?”I open my mouth to argue, but he glances pointedly at the way I'm practically folded over myself, and I close it again.The bastard.“I'm not completely fucking helpless,” I mutter.“I didn't say you were.” His voice softens slightly, and he rests a hand against my shoulder. “But you've been badly injured, Max. You're allowed to need help.”I stare at him.It's such a simple thing to say, and he says it so matter-of-factly, as though the idea of me needing someone isn't remotely unusual.But it is.I'm an Alpha. I'm supposed to be strong, capable, the one people turn to when things go wrong. I'm not supposed to need someone to help me stand up so I can take a fucking piss.Especially not Xander.Not after everythin

Max's POVI try to shift my weight in the chair, hoping to find some position that doesn't feel like it's crushing my fucking hip, but the movement only makes everything worse. My abdomen pulls painfully as I attempt to straighten my back, and the narrow metal armrests dig into my sides, leaving me nowhere to move. I'm so tired now that even holding myself in this awkward position feels like more effort than I can manage.Fuck me, this was a mistake. I should have used the makeshift bedpan like the doctor wanted.I try again, pressing my palms against the armrests to take a little weight off my arse, but my arms are shaking, and the effort sends another horrible pulling sensation through my stomach. A low groan escapes before I can stop it.“Max?”Xander's voice comes from behind me, and I immediately stop moving.“Hmm?”“You all right?”“Yeah, fine,” I mutter, trying to make my voice sound vaguely convincing.There's a pause, and then I hear him sigh.“Bullshit.”I almost smile.Godd

Max's POVWe're moving again, and the nurses push me towards the restrooms at the back, but as we turn the corner towards the door, Xander's there, right in front of us, looking freshly showered, his hair still damp. His hazel eyes widen as he sees us, then he takes in the chair and frowns slightly.“Alpha,” one of the nurses greets him respectfully.“What are you up to?” he asks, his frown deepening slightly, his tone sharp.I mean, I thought that was fairly obvious, to be honest. But clearly he doesn't want me here. I can feel Zahra's bond pulling towards the door at the end of the corridor. Perhaps he doesn't want me upsetting her any more. And why would he? He's the one who's been here holding her together while I've been off feeling sorry for myself. I wouldn't trust me near her either. Fuck, I don't blame him, to be honest.“Alpha Hunt needs the bathroom,” the other nurse says, and I cringe inwardly.Wonderful. That's exactly how I wanted my first proper conversation with my ex

Max's POVMy heart feels like it's crumbling into even smaller splinters than before. How can I even begin to fix this?‘Start by apologising,’ Medus urges me, his anxiety skyrocketing as he thinks about his mate believing we want to reject her.He's right. I know he's right. But how the fuck do you apologise for making your mate believe she's so unwanted that you're going to reject her? What words could possibly undo weeks of leaving her to believe that?‘Now. Go to her now.’I'm about to explain that I don't think I can walk when the doctor appears round the side of the car.“Ta-da!” he says far too cheerily, waving his hand like he's revealing something incredible.I take in the small metal chair. I stare at it. It's tiny, narrow, with tiny wheels like a filing cabinet's, not the ones you usually see on a wheelchair.I'm fairly certain I've seen sturdier things abandoned beside supermarket trolley bays. And whatever poor bastard designed this thing clearly wasn't expecting anyone a

Max's POVI don't want to talk to Zahra smelling like this. I can't do anything about the mess I've made of things between us, not yet anyway, but surely, I can manage to wash the blood and dirt off before I try to face her properly. I owe her that courtesy at the very least.“Can I shower? I feel horrible,” I say to the nurse.She bites her lip and looks towards the doctor.“I'm not sure you're up to it, Alpha,” she says hesitantly.The doctor frowns.“How much pain are you in?” he asks.His eyes narrow slightly as he watches me, and I get the distinct impression he doesn't believe a fucking word I'm about to tell him.And honestly, sitting here right now, not moving, none. Medus has done a good job healing me. It hurts like a bitch still when I move, but I've had worse. Maybe not, but I've had bad injuries before, and I'm still alive. It can't be that bad…“I'm okay, Doctor. I need to wash up and use the bathroom. Could you help me?”I start to pull myself into a more upright positi

Max's POVThe nurse fusses over me, checking my bandages and the lines into my arm before she unclips the restraints across my chest and legs. The fucking restraints that just stopped me from comforting my Goddess-damned mate. If I'd had the strength, I would have ripped them to shreds right then and there.She was right there, crying against me, and I couldn't even put my fucking arms around her. Then she pulled away, and all I could do was watch. The look on her face when she apologised keeps replaying in my head. She actually apologised to me, after everything I've done.I watch closely as Xander talks to Oscar outside the car. I can't hear what they're saying over the nurses' conversations, but Xander looks strained. He looks fucking exhausted, if I'm honest, and a weird sensation starts to build in my chest. I rub at it absently.I haven't seen him look this worn down in a long time. Even from here, I can see the tension in his shoulders and the way he holds himself, like he's ca
