Scotty's P.O.V

I was in a cold place surrounded by darkness. I have been roaming for an unknown amount of time. I may be stuck but I can feel and hear what's happening around my body. I can feel my 3 mates holding a part of my body. I can also feel the pain, sorrow, love, defeat, and a whole lot of other emotions jumbled in there. Apparently, I have been out for about 2 months. I need to get the hell out of dodge. The question is how. Before I could start thinking about the despair I felt, here again, I saw a light in the distant. I know they say 'Don't follow the light' but it's the only lead I got. I what seems like years but is probably only a couple of hours before I reached the light. The light was so blinding I had to cover my eyes before the burned. When I opened them, I was in the center of a beautiful meadow full of flowers. In front of me as a very beautiful woman. She emitted such a great abundance power which I couldn't help but bow to this woman. This awe-inspiring Goddess. I only rose when she placed her hands on my shoulder and softly spoke, "Rise."

I was so engrossed in her beauty I had missed what she said. "Can you say that again please?" I asked a little desperately. She gave me a sad smile and said the words that caused my whole world to abruptly stop. "Scotty, you may never wake up. You may never see your mates again." I stared at the beautiful lady in shock, fear, and sadness. What does she mean I may never wake up and never see my mates again? "What?" I ask, my voice shaking. I couldn't bear the thought of knowing that I may never see my mates again. I have so much I need to say to them yet.

The woman sighs and looks at me with sad eyes "Scotty the trauma you have been exposed to has caused you to go into a coma along with the help of your injuries. Your wolf is very weak and has fallen into a deep slumber to heal." As she finished I fell to my knees as a trembling mess seeing as my legs were unable to support my weight any longer. I felt the tears burn the back my eyes, but none would fall. I guess the shock and pain just overpowered the sadness making me unable to cry at the moment. I just could not believe the words coming out of her mouth. I had come to love my mates. I didn't even get to know them personally.

Looking up at the woman, I gather up enough strength to ask, "How can I wake up?" The woman smiles sadly and softly whispers in a motherly tone, "Patience, you must let your body heal first. Just wait and see." Then she evaporated before my very eyes. So, I took her advice and that is exactly what I did. I stayed on the ground and adjusted myself, so I was laying on my back looking at the clear blue sky, feeling a bit calmer than I had before. I sat there and stared at the sky for hours, waiting. That was all I could do after all, wait. My body has surprisingly not started to get uncomfortable, even after hours in the same position. The breeze here is just the right temperature for a warm day like this one. This field reminds me of the valley my mates and I had spent the day in. Are they thinking of me? I miss them so much. I just want to see them. Being here reminds me of what is just out of my reach.

I felt a cool breeze pass by just over my face.

"Scotty."

I sat up alarmed looking around almost desperately for the person who called my name. I found no one. It was still just me in the field. Confusion flooded my systems. What had just happened? I just miss them is all.

"Please wake up."

That sounded like...Drake? What is happening? Was that really Drake? Am I just going stir crazy already? I look around once more and just like before, it is only me in this field. Disappointment quickly overpowers the confusion that once held that place. I am still alone here. I am just missing them, right? I'm just hearing their voices full of concern because that is what I want to hear, right?

"We need you."

Ryder? What's going on here? These voices don't feel like my imagination. I feel the in my soul. I feel my soul call out to them. I can't ignore this call. I need to get to them. I need them now. The meadow started to shatter like glass shards and fall apart. It was being replaced by a blinding white light. All I could hear was a high pitch screeching sound and a fire travel through my body slowly licking my skin and organs with its excruciating heat. I fall to my knees as I covered my ear with my hands, clamped my eyes shut in pain and grind my teeth. I felt a tingling sensation go through my body. After what seemed like hours, it finally stopped. When I could no longer feel the tingles among my body and felt no more pain I slowly removed my hands from my ears and gently opened my eyes.

I was in a sterile white hospital room. What? What happened to the field? Why am I here? I looked around and saw 2 of my mates sleeping on uncomfortable looking chairs, Ryder and Drake. Ash must have left. As soon as that thought passes through my thinking process, the door opened, and Ash appeared. I was about to go and hug him until I took in his appearance. His hair was greasy, he had dark bags under his eyes, stubble around his strong jaw and his clothes were wrinkled and stained. I looked at the other 2 and saw them in the same condition as Ash. Ash walked to where they were huddled at and sighed. What happened to them? They look like they haven't moved in weeks. They look like they haven't showered or eaten really. Why am I here? What happened to my strong me? They looked like shells, empty and hallow.

Didn't he see me? He just sat down and completely ignored my presence. I won't lie, it stung. "Hey" I called out. No movement. They didn't hear me or just ignored me. What is even happening. I walked over to where they were and looked at what they were protecting. I couldn't muffle my shocked gasp. The fat tears started rolling down my cheeks as sobs escaped my mouth. Why? Why me? Why us?

There in front of me is...me? How is that even possible? I am here. I am right here. I can hear the heart rate monitor. I can feel the cool burn of the IV. I can feel the heat of my mate's touch. The field. I didn't wait. Is this what happens when you rush? I didn't wait and forced myself. My mind was ready, but my body was not. What if this pushes back the healing process? Why? Why me? Why them? Can't we just get a break? Why? Why? Why? A loud wail escapes my throat. I want to be able to tell them I love them, I want to thank them for not giving up on me. I want to show them that I can be somebody they deserve.

I walk over to Ash and fall to my knees. I hang my head low and cry for my mates. Here they are worrying about me when I know they are needed by the pack. What did I do to deserve mates as wonderful as you guys? I stand and try to wrap my hands around Ash. My arms pass right through him. My heart squeezes a bit at this. So, I settle for hanging my head where his ear is and whisper "I love you. I love you so much Ash, I can't breathe without you by my side. You always make me feel like I am not alone. You never judge how I am." He doesn't move. I go over to Ryder next. I kneel by his sleeping figure, "Ryder, I love you. The very thought of you makes my knees weak and my heart palpitates uncontrollably. You can always make me smile. It is never a dull moment with you around"

Getting up I trek over to Drake. "Drake. I can't think straight whenever you are not here. I love you so much, it hurts. When you are by my side I feel invincible. I never want to part ways with you." Getting up, I back away from them a bit. "I love you guys with every fiber in my being. My soul sings and years for yours. I can't live with the thought of leaving you guys. I want to be with you forever and always. I never want to leave you guys," I can't stop the tears as the stream down my face, "I want to grow old with you guys. I want to make this pack a better place with you guys. I want to always see a smile on your guys face. I want to eventually start a family. I want our own football team. I just want to live my life with you guys by my side. That is all I want and all I will ever want." I take a moment to catch my breath. "I know this may be a bit selfish of me to ask but, can you guys wait just a bit longer for me? I know you guys have been waiting for me for a while. All I ask for is just a bit more time. I will try my hardest to get my treacherous body to cooperate with me and wake up for you guys. I want to be the mate you all deserve. It will just take my body a bit longer to get there but I am almost ready. I know it in my gut. This is my promise to you guys. I will be better and get better. I love you all more than you will ever know."
