Chapter 27: To Love A Broken Alpha

Chapter 27:

Zanders POV :

Numb. That's how I felt. My body was absolutely numb. My eyes shot open as the lights blinded me. Why wasn't I healing?

I sat up with an ache as my headpunded tremendously. Irene. That's the first thing that came to mind. Was she okay? Was she hurt? My heart began pulling at the mention of her name.

Soon the doors to my bedroom opened as Brandon walked in. I was sick of seeing his face. Yes, he was my beta and he was goddamn good at it, but he was a horrible friend.

"why are you here?" I questioned in. Annoyance.

"well Zander, it seems your mate isn't on pack grounds." his words captured my attention.

Where was she? Were they okay? My heart pummeled in my chest, I forced myself to stand, as every muscle in my body ached.

"No need to go beserk Zander, she's at her old pack." she reassured. "Zander why don't you do yourself a favour and tell her the truth. You think you're protecting her, but in all honesty all you've done is break her over and over again." he said.

"You know I can't do that. I don't want her to know."

Btabdon let out a sigh and ran his hands through his hair. "All you're being is selfish! You're considering her feelings for her! Zander, stop being stupid and set things right, you're gonna loose her and more you're gonna loose your child!" he hammered the words into my ears.

Lying back down, I closed my eyes ignoring his words. He didn't understand because he was not me. I was a broken alpha, not only because I lost my mate, but because of my mate. And now, I've been given another one, that characterizes her the same way. I can't. Irene was different, and I know it. But, my heart didn't want to accept that fact and it constantly lead to doubts overcoming my train of thoughts.

I turned on the other side, looking out the window. As I let my thoughts drift off.

Irene's POV:

The clock ticked on the wall. Only 2 heartbeats echoed in my room. Mine and my baby's.

Don't leave me...

Zanders words e hoed in my ears. My heart tugged telling me to go back to him, but in all honesty, I couldn't.

What I went through, what he put me through, it was almost impossible to go back to him.

The least he could've done in the last few days was come to me, yo show he cared. But now I can see, he's only worried about himself.

Why was I paired with a mate whose heart belongs to someone 10 feet underground? Did the moon goddess see it fit to see me suffer? Had I done something wrong to deserve this?

A knock echoed through the room, as the door opened capturing my attention. Cole and my mom stood at the door, with a pack doctor to come check in me.

"Irene, how are you doing today?" doctor Sam asked, his silver hair shining in the sunlight.

"as good as I can be." I said smiling.

"I hope you're looking after yourself as well as you should, remember you giving birth is a big deal, are you sure your mate consented to this?" he questioned.

"of course he consented to continuing this pregnancy."

"if you say so, next time, come to the office along with him and we can discuss things on a more serious note." he explained.

I nodded knowing, Zander wasn't going to be here for the longest time ever. But even so why do I want to give him this child that now holds my life in its almost developed hands?

He didn't deserve my forgiveness. Yet, I still yearn for him. Our bond was a curse made to blind me and because of it, I am already blind.

To love a broken alpha, was difficult, especially since that alpha, does not want to love back.
