Semua Bab FATED TO THE MIDNIGHT ALPHA : Bab 81 - Bab 90

~LAYLA~The dreadful day is here. The day I have feared more than anything.From morning till dusk, I spent every minute thinking and spending most of my time in my room. I had already texted Ryker in the morning and told him that I am coming tonight. And that he should unfailing bring my brother.Ryker's reply had come fast.‘If you fuck anything up, you’re going to pay dearly.’I had stared at that message for so long that I began to think that my heart was going to give up on me and leave me for dead.And now, lying on the bed and staring out the night sky through my window, I can barely breathe properly.I am meeting Ryker tonight.And hopefully, I can save my brother and not choose.After managing to get dressed quickly in preparation to leave, I still wait until the packhouse is quiet. When I sense no one watching or still moving around, I slip out into the darkness, my fingers trembling as I pull out the phone Ryker had given me.Despite the guards being around, they aren't ale

~RAELIN~ "Her body has gone into shock!" That ugly sentence from one of the nurses cuts into me like a wicked poisoned knife as I rush into the pack hospital with them. The sliding glass doors of the ICU opens as Layla’s limp, blood-soaked body is rushed through, the wheels of the gurney carriage bearing her unconscious body squealing against the hospital tiles, while the nurses and two doctors are pushing the gurney forward, their white and green uniforms stained with Layla's blood. I don’t think. I follow them in. “Please Alpha you can't come in,” One of the doctors with her name tag bearing ‘Megan Wallace’ blocks my way quickly, backed by a wall of other hospital staff holding me back from crossing the red line painted across the corridor floor. Did they just dare restrict me?! “Let me through!” I scream angrily. “She’s critical!” Megan yells back, “Alpha, please let us do our job,” Her voice drops down a little, but she is frantic and clearly wants me out of the picture so t

~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

~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

~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
