Unique Mate

~25~

*Adrian's POV*

It takes a while before my body finally lets me get to my feet but even then, my legs are shaky, and my muscles are aching and screaming in protest against every movement my body makes. But I press on, pushing my body to keep walking, making my way back to Jenna's body. I did not want to have to face the lifeless body that was my little sister. I don't bother shifting back into human, I walk for about 30 minutes but to the rest of my body it felt like an eternity. My body feels heavy, and I can't pinpoint if it was the cause of the fact that my body was physically exhausted or if it was the fact that I had to go face my baby sister's dead body.

 My surroundings become more and more familiar the closer I get back to my territory and as soon as I enter, I can feel all of my mind links open up again, and instantly my head is crowded with the voices of worried pack members. I block out everyone, it was a little too much for me especially right now. There was already so much going through my mind, so many crowded emotions and I didn't know which one to show first. I can't help but feel overwhelmed, alone in a way, my feet seem to drag more and more the closer I get. My ears perk at the noise of voices, very faint but there, and the closer I seem to get the more panicked the voices seemed to become. At that moment the only thing going through my head was the fact people had probably found Jenna's body and all I want is for time to stop, to give me some time to wrap my head around what going on around me but sadly life is not that fair. 

No matter what happens in life to anyone, even good people the world does not give its pity on anyone, it selfishly goes on not caring what it's lost. And I just didn't know if I wanted to accept that right now. I feel selfish and my thoughts start to cloud my mind, something I couldn't block out no matter how much I wanted to or tried to. I felt my eyes well up with tears and I knew there was nothing I could do to stop them from falling. The weight from the situation was so hard to bear and every minute I grew closer to the voices, the heavier my body seemed to get, I didn't know if I was ready to face anyone. I didn't want people to witness their Alpha at his lowest, the one person they depended on more than anything else, breaking before their eyes.

I stop in my tracks thinking more and more, the tears rolled down my face freely and I turn away from the voices. I couldn't face anyone right now, I needed time. I needed Ashley. My heart ached at the thought of her name, I missed her incredibly and I needed her. I needed her to hold me, to let me break down knowing I was safe with her, in her arms. I sniff, searching for her scent but instead, I get a strong hit of iron. I feel my body freeze, my ears start ringing and I can hear my heartbeat in my ears. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice the strong scent of iron s0o close to me. My eyes dart around trying to find the source of the unbearable smell, I can't help but follow the stench back in the direction I just turned away from. I walk about 5 more minutes and I see nurses and doctors in the clearing that was so familiar, but this time there were so many doctors and nurses surrounded in a big group not allowing me to see what they were surrounding but I knew that it was more than likely the dead body of my little sister. But my head snaps up when I hear someone yell.

" I've got a pulse!" I feel my heart leap into my throat, and I feel cold in disbelief but my heart drops back into my stomach when I hear the next words.

"What about the other one?" I quickly move in view to notice there was another body. I try to get a better view, maneuvering around the doctors and nurses but I couldn't make out anything. I could feel the fear build up in me as the doctor takes longer and longer to answer.

" Got it!" Despite not knowing who was hurt, I couldn't help but assume that at least one of the people they were talking about was Jenna, and at that my heart raced at the thought and my whole body felt a jolt of electricity shoot through me, hope. I knew I would do anything for my little sister to be ok and well and if there was even a slight chance that she was, I was ready to hold onto that hope like a lifeline. I paced around the doctors, looking for an opening to catch a glimpse of the other person but still with no luck.

"There stable." As soon as these words entered the air the doctors started to finally take a step back from the two bodies on the ground and I can't help but feel goosebumps scatter across my body within the blink of an eye. On the ground was Ashley, a bandage wrapped around her throat and the gauze had a slight pink tint to it but she was curled next to Jenna. Jenna's head was being gently held by Ashley to her chest, trying to keep Jenna close. It was evident that Ashley was having a hard time staying awake and by the amount of blood surrounding the girls I wasn't too surprised. My breath gets caught in my throat when I see Jenna's chest rise and fall steadily, my eyes well up with tears and I push past the group of doctors surrounding the girls and make my way over to them. Ashley's eyes don't move off of Jenna, afraid that if she did Jenna would disappear but I continue to my way to them and lay my body around the other side of Jenna, I place my head on her lap. I close my eyes, taking comfort in the warmth coming from my sister.
