*The Mated Beast*

Chapter Ten

Aiden's Pov

"How is she?" I asked Victor as we both made our way into her room.

"No progress" he stated sadly as he walked over to the table next to her bed. Taking up her folder that rested on it, he glanced over it briefly before he gave me the full report.

It's been a week since the car accident and she still hasn't made any signs of progress. I try to visit her whenever i can, and that's everyday basically, considering that the hospital is right next door.
As for auntie Mitchell, she still blames herself for the accident. She says that if she had only told her the truth things would have been different.

I'm dragged from my revere as i hear Victor's voice echo through the room.
"A brain scan was done this morning" he starts of slowly, still glancing at her file. "It shows no signs of brain activity, no thinking, no dreaming, nothing"

"So what does that mean" i interjected.

He looks up at me with a sorrowful gleam in his eyes before he speaks up.
"It means she's still unconscious"

Letting out a heavy sigh, i rake my hand through my messy hair as i look over at her still battered form laying there helpless on the bed.

"Is she healing?" I asked absent mindly, my eyes not once leaving her.

From the corner of my eye i watched Victor as he lowered his head slightly before nodding a quick no.

As i stood there i could feel the tears pricking hard against my pupils as they threatened to flow.

"Leave us" i muttered to Victor not willing myself to look up. I listened as his foot stops stopped by the door before it swung open and he was out.

Making my way over to the left side of her bed i lifted her hand gently as i placed a feathery kiss on her knuckle.

"I miss you Ali" i muttered softly as i felt the warm streaks trailing down my face. As i held on to her gently, the familiar sparks didn't go unnoticed as they felt stronger and stronger each time we touched.
Wipping away the tear with the back of my hand, i leaned over  her slightly.

"Wake up Ali" i whispered as i kissed her forehead sweetly before making my way out the door.

Mitchell's Pov

"Any progress?" I asked Victor as he walked into his office. I'd been in there waiting for the past 15 minutes to hear the result on lexy. I'm here every day just to see her, but every day i can't bring myself to go in there. I know all too well that its my fault why she's in here in the first place.

Looking up i see him nod me a quick no as he sidesteps me and makes his way over to his desk. Taking a seat he looks up at me with a stern look as he ushers me to sit down. Taking a seat i look over at him expectantly.

Clearing his throat slightly, i watch him scribble something down on a notepad before he begins to speak.
"I just went and did my morning check up on Alex" he started off softly. "She has made no progress and it's been a week. Her bones are still severely shattered and the bruises still remain. Now a brain scan was done this morning and from what i have observed, there is no brain activity and what that means is that Alex is still unconscious"  he paused as he took a shaky breath. "Do you see where i'm going with this mrs. O'conner?" He questioned as he stared over at me.
