Marianna's POV
I gasp awake. I saw him. Alex. And he knows. I should have told him before. I should have been with him. He's dead. He's dead.
I sob and hold my stomach. Oh shit. Not again. I run to the bathroom and puke everything I have eaten. I don't think I can live without Alex.
'Yes you can. Come on baby. Please.'
I jerk my head to behind me, but I see no one. I have to live. For our baby. I puke again and brush my teeth. I spit out the foam and mouthwash my mouth. The taste of puke is gone.
Then I think. Cassie's father did this. Cassie. She must be devastated. I go to the hospital and see the pack doctor.
"Hello Marianna. Here for the baby again?" Tasha asks. I shake my head.
"Where's Cassie?" I ask. Tasha presses her lips together.
"She's over there." Tasha says, pointing down a hallway. I jog down the hallway and go to the room Tasha was pouting at. I enter and see Sam asleep on Cassie's cot.
"I'm sorry Cassie. I can feel everything you're feeling. I can't do this. I really can't. I have no idea what to do anymore. I'm lost. I can't do this without Alex." I cry.
Sam jerks awake and sees me crying. He smells the air and he lets out a growl. I gulp and wait for what he is gonna say.
"You're pregnant." Sam says and I gasp.
How does he know? Oh. My scent changed. I tense up and start to sob. Sam gets up and embraced me in a hug, I cry harder because it remind me of Alex. Sam grabs me by my shoulders and looks me in the eye.
"You can do it. Hold on for Alex. Hold on for your baby. Because Alex would want you to have a happy life." Sam says.
Then Cassie gasps awake. Sam runs over to her and they start talking. I start walking out of the room. Sam clears his throat and I look at him.
"You can stay. I'm gonna go to my room to sleep." Sam says.
I am about to object but Sam darts out if the room. I walk and sit next to Cassie. We sit in a comfortable silence. Cassie is the first one to speak up.
"So you're pregnant?" Cassie asks. I nod and a tear drops down my face.
Cassie rips the IV out of her arm. Then, she hugs me. I cry into her shoulder. She tries calming me down but I can feel her teardrops on my shirt.
"I never told Alex. But he visited me in a dream. I don't know what to do anymore." I sob.
"Alex is in a better place now." Cassie says, biting back a sob.
We cry for a good 10 minutes, mourning for Alex. My mate. My other half. My true love. He was supposed to be with me forever. We were supposed to die together.
Why couldn't it be me? Why couldn't I be the one who died? I deserve to die. Not Alex. Cassie pulls back and her anger is show in her eyes. What is she.....ohhh. My thoughts, I forgot to block them.
"Don't you ever say that again." Cassie growls. More tears drop down my face.
"Alex would want you to have a happy life. Make his wish come true" Cassie says. I nod.
Cassie gets up and grabs two tissues. She hands one to me. I gladly take it and wipe my eyes. Cassie does the same and we throw our tissues in the wastebasket.
Sam comes in and shoots us a smile. We return it.
"You guys okay?" Sam asks.
We both nod. Cassie and I share a look and hug each other. Sam just stands there smiling.
"Come on. You know you want to." Cassie says and we open our arms.
Sam laughs. He goes and hugs us. Then, we all start laughing at the same time.
"Oh and Alex somehow did it but it appeared in front of me. And I got a voice in my head saying it was for Marianna. So, here." Sam says.
He takes a box out of his pocket. I take it from him and look inside. The top of the inside box says 'will you marry me?' and on the bottom is a beautiful ring.
I gasp and tears spring free from my eyes. Cassie looks over and gasps too. I smile as a flow of tears spring free of my eyes.
"Yes you idiot." I whisper and put the ring on my hand. The box's letters change. Thank you.
How did he do this? He's doing it to keep me alive. I look down at my flat stomach. I imagine a bump there. My hand goes over my stomach.
"See. Alex wants you to stay alive and have a happy life." Sam says.
I look at him and at Cassie. Sam grabs Cassie and pulls her towards him, tucking her under his arm. I feel a pang in my chest a put on a fake smile.
"Excuse me." I say and walk out the room.
I go to my room and lay on my bed. Its 11:00. I wish Alex were here. We would cuddle and he would get me whatever I desired.
Tears fall from my eyes. Alex. I wish you were here. I love you so much.
'It's gonna be okay'
This time, I know it's my wolf, Daisy, speaking to me. I sob harder. This affects her even more. Mike, Alex's wolf, has been ripped away from her. It's like losing a part of you're soul.
I sniffle and go to the bathroom. I grab a pair of clothes and go take a quick shower.
Then warm water soothes my sore muscles, but doesn't take away any pain. I wrap a towel around my body and get out. Drying myself, I put on my clothes and comb my hair. I apply mascara and some makeup.
Finally, I slip on some flats and go downstairs. I go down to eat breakfast and see all the pack sluts down there. I ignore them and go grab a sandwich from the fridge.
"Oh, hey Marianna! Døńt see you much do I?" Francesca, one of the sluts says.
"Yeah, I heard you lost your mate. Poor baby." Another girl, Andrea says.
"Aww, well too bad, Alex was probably a loser." Whitney says.
I growl as their words surround my head. They just snicker.
"Aw, Marianna can't possibly do anything. The loss of her mate is too strong." Francesca says.
"But Alex was a wonderful fucker, I'll bet you. Marianna probably had to beg him to fuck her." Whitney said.
'That's it! I'm gonna kill them!' Daisy growls
With one more threatening girls to them, I shift and attack the three girls in the kitchen.
