My little Judith

Fifty-five

Alec POV

My heart sank.

Literally. It felt like it wouldn't beat again until I had Judith back in my arms. Unscathed, unharmed, safe and healthy in my arms where I'd never let her go again. Where I can keep her safe, only make her happy and pleasured. I'd never take my anger out on her again.

"Alec." I heard someone shout. I looked behind me to see Marco and a one of the pack warriors. As soon as they saw me they ran to me. "Alec. We found Judith."

"What? Where is she?" I panicked.

"She's at the hospital." Marco replied. "I tried linking you but you weren't answering. Will found her and took her to the hospital about twenty minutes ago."

I didn't wait for him to finish. As fast as I could I ran to the hospital. I didn't slow down when I got there. I searched for her scent, I craved it to tell me if she's okay. All I could smell was blood. Her scent and blood. I didn't stop until I found her. Doctors rushed around her, wires attached to her, a tube down her throat while they tried to get air into her lungs.

Blood covered her. Her clothes soaked, her hair darkened with the crimson colour. I don't even know how bad her injuries are, she's blanketed in blood I can't even see what caused it.

"Judith." I screamed as I ran into the room. Doctors ran at me to hold me back. It's like everything went in slow motion.

People held me back. I screamed her name but all I could hear was a ringing in my ears. She didn't move at my cries for her. She didn't so much as flinch. Another set of hands touched me, them were the ones that pulled me out of the room. My dad, Ryker, held me against his chest. My knees buckled making us fall, my heavy weight taking him with me.

I cried into his chest. Fear that she was going to leave me. Fear that if she did our last words were out of hate not love. She has to know, she has to know how much I love her. No matter what she does I couldn't hate her. She has to make so I can tell her, so I can let her know that I love her more than anything in this world, more than life itself.

And if I couldn't, I'd follow her so I still can.

"-I came through the tree line and they were there. She was on the floor while they beat her, cut her, put silver and poison in her. I managed to get them all restrained and taken to the cells before I brought her here. Another warrior took the group while I ran here to get her help. I found Marco looking for Alec and told him what had happened." Will explained to Damien and Harriette.

I couldn't stomach it. And I know exactly who's responsible for this. For my mate who is laying in a hospital bed fighting for her life, not at home in bed where I'm showering her with love to show her how much she means to me. I shouldn't have walked out, I should've stayed. She wouldn't be like this if I had just taken a breath.

If I had just taken a moment to take a deep breath and not let my anger get the best of me, we'd be having dinner right now. Laughing with our family, she'd be feeling her siblings kick. We'd probably be in bed watching a film cuddled together, me teasing her and making her laugh as she tried to be quiet so no one would hear us mating. We'd be happy. She'd be pain free, she'd have a smile on her beautiful face.

The only one who deserves pain right now is me. I will stand here and admit I was wrong, I shouldn't have taken my anger out on Judith, I should've appreciated her trying to help, I should've loved her, given her everything and more. But I didn't. And now she's suffering because of my actions. It was supposed to be me, it should be me in that hospital bed in pain, soaked in blood and fighting to get back to those I love.

Not her. It was me who killed Mandy. I should have ignored her, walked away. Even in death she still knows how to get under peoples skin. Her family are no different. They are just as bad as Mandy, and this shows it. If anyone should be banished from the pack it's them. How could they do this to her? She's innocent, she's caring, no matter who you are she is king unless otherwise. My little one had nothing to do with me murdering Mandy, that was on me, and she has to deal with the consequences. That isn't fair.

"How did they get her? She's stronger than any wolf in this pack?" Harriette cried.

"I believe she was lured. A warrior was with them, he must have told her that Alec was looking for her. Whatever happened she wanted to fix it, but she couldn't because they deceived her. The silver was strong, wolfsbane, anything that would weaken her they used it and got what they wanted. I fear if I had been a few moments late she wouldn't even be able to fight." Will told her.

Harriette cried while Damien held her. Tears rolling down his cheeks just like my fathers. Just like me. I did this to her. If I hadn't of left she wouldn't have either. I don't have the right to cry, I don't have the right to sit here and feel sorry for myself because I did this. This is my fault.

"Family of Judith." A doctor said. Harriette and Damien went up to him with my parents. She doesn't need a fuck up like me in her life, she deserves so much better than the crap I've put her through.

"She's stable. We have her on many antibiotics, we had to flush her system to get rid of all the toxins in her bloodstream. She's very weak. Her body isn't responding how we'd hoped, but with a close eye she should be responding how we want in a few hours, latest tomorrow morning. We tested her blood and there was quite a lot of wolfsbane and silver in her system, a little wouldn't be an issue. But whoever did this, they didn't hold back at all. She has more toxins than her own blood." The doctor stated.

"Oh my god." Harriette gasped.

"She had three stab wounds to the stomach, two on the chest and three in the back. I will alert alpha Marco and tell him whoever did this was attempting murder and needs to be banished, but with what they did I'd say many people will want them to be punished by death. I will personally advise the alpha to consider having them executed. Using toxins as such to harm another is not tolerated in this pack and is punishable by death."

"Will she be okay? How long will it take for her to wake up?" Harriette asked.

"It will take anywhere from a couple of hours to a few days. It all depends on her wolf and vampire now. We've done our part, they need to do theirs. There may be a chance she will lose her counterparts because of the healing process. Meaning, if this is the case, she will lose her immunity and be more prone to illnesses and age. She will be human." He explained.

Rage filled me. I stood up and stormed out of the hospital and towards the cells where I'd gladly give those low lives a taste of their own medicine.
