Always

Chapter 16

Cara's POV

My head feels heavy. I willed my body to wake up, but it was fighting and winning the battle. I inwardly groaned and stopped. I couldn't quite place my finger on it, but something was wrong. 

I tried breathing in and I felt my chest constrict. I felt my body shaking and seizing. My lungs started burning and I heard rushing and stern orders.

"She's seizing hold her down." The doctor's voice rings in my ear louder than a fire alarm. 

"What's happening to her?" Lucas, Alex and Christopher were yelling. Ethan was crying and I think I heard Blake punching a wall or punching bag or something. The Alpha was shouting orders telling them to keep me alive no matter what.

I heard Jason pacing. A doctor shouted.

"CLEAR!" And I felt my chest pump. Slowly something was pumping air into my system. 

"CLEAR!" It happened again and my body jerked forward finally started letting me move.

"CLEA-" 

"Don't you dare." I coughed out. Gasping for breath. Everyone gathered around me and everything started to settle. They immediately pulled back and started checking my vital signs. I started sitting up and my joints ached and cracked.

"Crap. How long have I been out?" I groaned. They all chuckled. 

"A couple of hours. I think." Alpha Sam stated with a tired look. Blake got on his knees and took my hand in his putting it to his cheek and breathing in.

"I was so worried." He sighed. I laughed.

"Well, so was I." I chuckled.

Ethan crawled into my lap and wiped his face clear. He sniffled a few times. He was clearly physically and emotionally tired. I knew he was tired because as soon as he laid his head down he was out like a light. I pulled the blanket closer and he snuggled into them deeply. His natural body heat warmed me up quickly and it comforted me.

"So, what happened one second I see Alpha's scout pointing guns at us then the next nothing." I pulled my feet up warming them up too.

Blake was still calming down, Jason was now sitting on my bed, Alex, Lucas, and Christopher were lounging in chairs next to me as if nothing happened. the doctors finally left and we were now comfortable. I looked up and saw a huge gash in the wall. I looked down at Blake and he smirked knowing what I was looking at. I rolled my eyes.

I looked up at alpha for an explanation.

"Well, you broke your arm and it was banged up pretty badly. It somehow hit a major artery and you were bleeding out. Hence the black out you experienced." He sighed and sat down on a built in couch that was connected to the wall. "The scout that you are referring to is dead, but not without damage done. He had two guns and fired both. You caught one bullet before it hit your mate." Gesturing toward Blake and Blake smiled at 'your mate'. " The other bullet however hit a wolf named Derek. Before he passed passed out he said he knew you." I felt my eyes bulge out of my head and my heart started pounding which brought attention to everyone. 

"Where is he? Is he alive? Is he okay? I need to see him." I tried getting up ripping out the I.V in the process.

"Hold on, hold one." Everyone was trying to keep my down.

"No, I have to see him." They plugged up the I.V back and I struggled a little harder.

"Calm down love." Blake tried reasoning which only made me madder. 

"He's alive. It didn't hit anywhere major, but he is fighting for life." Christopher said uncomfortably. He is a quite person.

I laid back and sighed in relief.
