The Alpha And His Abused Mate (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 22: Just Kidding

River's POV:

They had taken Ellie back about an hour ago. Mark had reassured me that this was something he had done many times and that this would be no different. I was pacing around the waiting room, waiting on some sort of news.

"River?" Morgan asked me. I had called Morgan and Alex just like I promised Ellie. Calling Alex was a stupid decision because not only did he bring Morgan but also Colby, Parker, Bella, Katherine, and Jonathan.

"What?" I snapped at her.

"Calm your fucking ass down. You're making me nervous." I did as she said, because personally she scared the shit out of me. Her personality reminded me of my mother's and when my mom yelled she was scary. 

"Wiver?" Bella whispered, as she crawled over to me and sat in my lap.

"Yes baby?" Zander had a soft spot for her so he had immediately calmed down.

"Don't worry be happy." I gave her a soft smile and pulled her to my chest, giving her a hug. When I looked up Mark was talking to Momma K. He was splattered with blood and his face did not look very happy. His eyes met mine but he quickly turned around and walked back through the double doors, leading to my mate.

"What'd he say?" I asked nervously.

"Ellie lost a lot of blood," Katherine started off. "Ezra is dangerously small. They don't know if he'll make it." I felt numb. I wasn't sad. I wasn't angry. I was numb, like I had processed what she said but my body and mind weren't letting me feel any emotions. I placed Bella in Colby's lap and raced through the double doors.

I caught Ellie's scent and followed it to where she was. A nurse tried to stop me but I just growled and kept going. Meanwhile, Zander was howling in agony as I saw my little boy being rushed past me.

"River," Ellie shouted my name once she saw me. "Go with him!" I gave her a kiss on the forehead and ran to catch up with Ezra.

"Alpha, you can't come back here." What is up with everyone trying to stop me today?

"If you do not get out of my way in three seconds, I will kill you. I am sure you don't want to die so move." I don't know who it was but they got out of my way once I mentioned killing them. 'I can't find his scent.' Zander said frantically in my mind.

'I can't either.'

'Ellie and Piper are going to kill us.' Damn. I'm gonna die. I fucking lost our baby. I found the nearest nurse and asked her where they took Ezra, but she was like 'I apologize Alpha but you cannot go past this point.' I about flipped my shit. So I had to go see Ellie with no news on how he was doing.

"What do you mean, you don't know where he is?!" Ellie yelled. I had told her that I tried to follow Ezra, but they wouldn't let me go see him.

"I tried. I really did baby girl..." I whispered. A knock broke us out of the silence Ellie and I had currently been sitting in.  Mark walked into the room with a grim look on his face.

"Where is Ezra?" Ellie questioned. He sat down on the edge of the hospital bed and took a deep breath.

"Ezra's organs are slowly failing."

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"He's dying..." Ellie said in disbelief.

"Can we see him?" She asked. Mark nodded and headed off to bring us our baby.

Ellie's POV:

Mark had rolled in Ezra and when my eyes fell upon his little body, I broke down. I buried my head in River's chest and I felt his arms wrap around me. I wiped away the tears from my face and stuck out my arms to hold Ezra.

He looked just like his dad. They shared the same nose and big brown eyes that I adored. Ezra stared up at me and I let a lone tear roll down my face.

"I'm your mama.." I loved him with all my heart and knowing that I wouldn't be able to see him grow up was heartbreaking. He wouldn't be able to start walking or graduate high school. He wouldn't be able to take over the pack once he turned eighteen and he wouldn't be able to share the joy of having a mate.

I handed our little boy to River and saw them immediately connect. The door opened and in came  Morgan and Alex.

"It's a baby! I wanna hold him!" Alex cooed ecstatically. His childish personality brightened the mood and I was grateful for that. River gave Ezra to Morgan and then a few minutes later to Alex.

"Alex if you drop my baby I will kill you." River threatened his brother.

"I won't." Alex said. Suddenly a bright light came from Alex's hand, and surrounded Ezra's small frame.

"Hey guys? You see the light too right?" Alex questioned. We all nodded our heads and kept our eyes on Ezra's body that seemed to be growing. His body now looked like a healthy baby's.

"What the hell just happened?" We were all stunned and none of us knew what had just happened. Mark was checking over Ezra and we were all waiting anxiously for the news.

"He's fine. It was like he was never sick to begin with."
