Playing With The Alpha

Playing With The Alpha- Chapter 13 Pg 49

No one's POV

His skin was pale; he was hot to the touch. He had been unconscious since last night. Camila sat by his side.

Everyone was gathered in the care center waiting room.

His parents, the Beta, the packs doctor and soon his brother will be arriving too.

"I feared this would happen," mumbles the doctor.

"We all knew this would happen. But no one said anything. Even if we had he wouldn't have listen" His father spoke sadly.

Suddenly the door opens and in walks Zayne and Leah. Everyone turns to them.

Zayne's eyes scan the room making contact with his elder brother; he slowly walks to his side.

"How long has he been like this?"

"What is she doing here?" Their mother speaks.

"What do you mean? This is her mate laying here." Zayne snaps.

"Yeah, speaking of mates, what is that smell?"

"What did you do?" Tony the Beta stood in awe.

Nervously Leah looks to Zayne. But he keeps his cool; he gives her hand a tight squeeze.

"We only did the same, so if Randi can mark another mate, then so can I."

"He didn't mark me." The soft sound of Camila voice answered. She had been silent the whole time, now she finally spoke. She turns to the crowd in the room and reveals herself.

"He passed out before he could mark me."

Both Zayne and Leah nearly stopped.

What had they done? She made him mark her out of vengeance.

"You've marked your brother's mate?" The former alpha tone was riddled with disbelief.

Zayne says nothing but swallows the huge lump in his throat.

Now guilt ridden, Leah let's go of Zayne's hand and speaks.

"Ross," she stops and bows "Please don't blame Zayne. It was all my idea I was the one who convince him to do it. I wasn't thinking straight!"

"You force my son to mark you?" He was now furious and she knew it. Her tongue felt dry and she couldn't find her voice.

"I'm sorry." Leah timidly replies.

Zayne watches as his father eyes suddenly change. It all happened so fast. With the speed of light the former alpha's hand reached up into the air, striking Leah quickly to the floor.

Both Zayne and Camila rush to her aid.

"Leah!"

"Zayne how could you do this to Randi? Even if he didn't want the girl, she is still his mate. How could you mark her? Weren't you the one who was against his decision? Now your brother is fighting for his life because of your stupidity!"

We all knew this would happen regardless if I marked her or not. His wolf was dying because he was dumb enough to believe that rejecting his mate and fighting against his wolf would somehow break the bond they share. And if he didn't calm his mate, someone else would!"

Ross shakes his head. "What about your mate, Zayne? What do you say to her when she finally comes, you've marked another, hmm? You think she'll want to stay now that you reek of Leah?" He spits.

"If she's really my mate....She'll know that even with Leah baring my mark I'll only truly love her." Zayne says looking his father in the eye.

The heart monitor began to sound, the doctor rushes to his bedside, "We've got a pulse!"

Everyone in the room except Leah rushes to the alpha's side. Zayne was right. She should have stayed away.

"Randi!" Camila stood by him and without warning the alpha began to shake uncontrollably. Camila cries out to him. She thought her loving touch would wake him.

"Leah?" The doctor rushes to her.

"Regardless of the mark, you are still his mate. Go and speak to him, his wolf will respond to your touch."

Leah freezes, "I can't."

The doctor grabs her hand. "Leah you must, he's your mate."

The doctor brings his hand to her back and guides her to the bed. Everyone backs away for the two. Camila still holding onto the alpha looks to Leah, she was now in protective mode. Tears roll down her cheek, she touches his face one last time before letting go and stepping away.

"He will respond to you." He whispers for only her to hear.

She looks around at the crowd in the room, His parents, and the Beta, but her eyes land on Zayne. His vision already set on her, although she found the strength to look away.

With a shaky right hand she gently touches his arm and was shocked by how hot his skin felt. She slips her hand into his sweaty palm he responds by closing his hand tightly.

At that moment time stood still, it was just the two of them.

She couldn't believe why it felt so good just to hold his hand. Just a small piece of her wanted more, but the other half wanted to let him suffer. But the connection wasn't completely broken yet so she still felt only love for him. .

She turns to the doctor as if confirming there was nothing she could do

"May...I, may I be alone with him?"

"No!" Camila burst out angrily.

"At this point we'll try anything." Said the doctor, they all begin to exit the room.

Only Zayne and Camila remain "Are you Sure?" He asked.

"Bring him back to me." Camila demands.

Finding just enough room on the side of the bed, she sits next to his unconscious body.

She recalls the resent memory of being rejected. She pauses to look at the room.

"I was so happy to find out that I was chosen as your mate and thought I would finally have a place in pack. Then you took me out to the forest and rejected me. I was heartbroken, and I've wanting nothing more than to hurt you...But now, I regret it all. This is my entire fault; the only reason why you're in here like this is because my selfishness. "She cries into his hand.

"If you wake up, I promise I won't be a burden to you or the pack any longer I'll leave. And....and you'll never have to see me again. You and Camila can finally be together. I will let you go. Just Please, Please wake up!"
