I Rejected The Alpha

CHAPTER 17 (Part Two)

BLAKE

"So yeah, that's what happened: Starting over completely," John explains.

"Which means we're all gonna have to be careful with her," Daniel warns, "Especially you Blake."

I nod my head still facing the window. My heart has been throbbing since this conversation; when Elissa passed out I immediately felt her pain. Thankfully Daniel and John were right by her side to take care of her. While she was passed out I took the liberty of caring her to her bed and tucking her in. I knew the last thing she would have wanted to see when she woke up was me; the reason she took these drugs in the first place.

That wasn't too hard to piece together either; we all found the Oxycodone bottle next to her bad on her nightstand.

I remember the pieces of my heart that were left shattered. If it weren't for the almost feral wolf instinct to immediately take care of her I would have fallen with her. Nothing, and I do mean nothing, is as heartbreaking as seeing the person you love look like they are dead.

Thankfully, her heartbeat was steady and the doctor looked at her for a bit and told us she was going to be fine. After that, I snuck out, told Daniel to give her water right when she wakes up, and went back to my room waiting patiently. I thought of her the whole time.

I itched my chest and thought about starting over. The pain in my heart seemed to slightly dissipate; I thought that maybe if I didn't fucking screw up this time she could actually be my mate. I frowned and sighed, "I don't think she'll-" I cut myself off and shake my head, "okay, we can do this."

I walk to the edge of my bed and sit down.

"Dude," John starts, "We know you were at the doctor."

I look up and see Daniel and John looking at me, no doubt the way they were looking at Elissa when she was explaining to them what was wrong with her. My heart clenched with the thought of her.

I was tempted to tell them not to worry about it, but how stupid would it be to leave my beta and third ignorant?

I let out a breath and stood up again, "I have some sort of broken heart syndrome."

Daniel raised his eyebrows, "You're shitting me."

I shook my head. John looked between us confused, "Is this like a joke or something? It sounds like a joke."

I laughed sarcastically, "Dude I fucking wish."

"It's," Daniel sighed, "Okay, I've heard of it before from Sarah's dad."

John and I looked at him in understanding. Sarah's dad suffered through serious heart break after Sarah's mom died from childbirth; some fucking Father of the Century for managing to take care of a child after.

"Did he have this?" I ask interested.

Daniel shook his head, "That poor guy did, but," he paused and leaned against the nearby wall, "he had Sarah to help him heal."

I nodded. John still looked confused as all get out, "Okay so like what happens?"

"It's pretty self explanatory," I start, "Doctor says I have a broken heart from The Rejection, which is why my chest itches and burns all the time. The thing is," I pause and laugh a sarcastic laugh again, "It could kill me."

John goes wide eye and leans against a wall too but for support, "Everything is fucked up."

I nod my head then look at them seriously, "The pack cannot know about this," I start. They bother nod their heads in understanding.
