Chapter Fifty-Four - Three Weeks

KARA

I heard mechanic beeping sounds and a lot of rushing footsteps. There were muffled voices but I couldn't move. With difficulty, I opened my eyes slowly, only to close them again from the rays of sunlight penetrating through the window.

Trying one more time, I opened my eyes and adjusted to the light. Looking around, I found myself back in the hospital room, only this time, I was in a hospital gown and my wounds had healed. There were still faint bruises but I couldn't feel any pain from all the painkillers getting injected into my body.

I looked to my right to see two doctors staring at me in shock and I raised an eyebrow, "What?"

They got out of their trance and hurriedly came to check me over. I laid there, letting them do their work and when they're done, one left and the other wrote things on the clipboard. I asked him, "How long was I out for?"

"You were in a coma for three weeks, Alpha."

...wut...

It sure felt like three minutes to me. I shook my head, "I was in a coma? But you just gave me anesthetics."

"We had to operate on you to fix the broken bones in your body and you fainted from blood loss. You've almost healed, we just have to wait for the remaining fractures in your bones to heal completely and you'll be free to go."

I nodded, "How long would that take?"

He tapped his pen on the clipboard, "Estimating a week. It's really a miracle. You broke almost all of your bones and still came out alive." He added a little chuckle at the end. I smiled, "Thank you, doc."

"You're welcome, Alpha."

He placed the board back at the foot of the bed and was about to leave when he looked at me, "You have visitors, Alpha."

I tilted my head, "Let them in, please."

He nodded and opened the door to let three men in. He closed the door behind him and my three mates sat around me.

Connor was in a wheelchair, Edward was sitting beside him, and Jake sat on the other side of the bed. Connor held my hand on my stomach, "You don't know how worried we were when you fell into a coma."

I smiled at them, "I'm alright, now. How about you guys?"

"I'm stuck in this wheelchair for another five weeks. The serum they injected into me messed with my healing," Connor explained and I nodded.

"They couldn't get the rest of the food out of me, so I'll have to slowly puke it out."

Disgust covered my face and I quickly turned to Jake, "What about you, Jake?"

He shrugged, "I'm...okay. Just glad that you're back."

I could tell he was hiding his pain and planned to talk to him soon. Suddenly, mother's words ran through my mind.

"Guys, I have something to tell you."

Three pairs of eyes looked at me and I continued, "You know the thing about female Alphas have a connection with the Moon Goddess, right?"

They nodded, "Well, in the three week coma, it was three minutes for me. And in those three minutes, my mother came to see me."

"Your mom, as in, Linda Kyran?" Connor asked and I nodded, "She's the Moon Goddess at this time. And she told me that all future goddesses have a power. But in my case, since I'm a descendant, I have three."

Their mouths dropped.

After changing into a loose hoodie and leggings, I put my things in my bag before walking out of the hospital room. I was discharged a week later and would be going back home with my mates.

I'll have to choose soon, huh? I can't keep leading them on like this.

Entering the White Moon pack, I was met with the Andersons, Blacks, and Cullens. But there were also my Beta Female and my Gammas. Hastily greeting the families, I rushed towards my ranks.

"Beta Female Kylie," I said and she turned to look at me. Her eyes was filled with sparks of anger as she spoke, "Where's my mate?"

"He's..."

I didn't think this through.

"I wanna cut his balls off and feed it to him," she said and I sighed.

"Kylie, I'm sorry. But uh, he's dead."

She furrowed her eyebrows, "You killed him?" I nodded sheepishly and she frowned, "I wanted a part of the fun..."

"You're not mad?"

"No," she shook her head, "After I found out what he did, all I could think was stabbing him to death."

I hummed.

***

Edward and Jake stayed with their family while I helped Connor in our room. I rubbed the medicine over his wounds on his back and he winced at the pain.

"It's alright, I'm almost done."

He had his hand on my thigh as he gripped it for comfort. After finishing, I wrapped the bandage around his torso.

"Lay down for me."

He did and I checked on his legs. I changed the bandages into new ones after reapplying the ointment. He tugged me by my sleeve and pecked my cheek.

"Thank you, mio amore."

"You're welcome."

***

The sound of throwing up gross me out, but I'll keep in my disgust for him. Edward was hunched over the toilet, puking his guts out and I knelt beside him, gently stroking his back, waiting for him to finish. When he was done, he flushed the toilet and I helped him lean back on the wall as I sat beside him.

"You don't have to do this, little wolf. I know how revolting this is to you," he said while panting imaginary breaths. I held his shaking hand, "But you'll feel safer if I'm with you. I can take it, alright?"

He hesitated a bit before nodding. He covered his mouth again, indicating that another round was coming and I helped him to the toilet bowl before it rushed out.

***

The moment I touched him, he flinched with a tiny gasp and crawled to the corner of his bed.

"Jake, it's me."

He slowly turned his head to get a glimpse of confirmation before throwing himself around me, burying his face in the crook of my neck. He inhaled my scent as I ran my fingers through his black hair.

"It's okay, I'm right here."

I'm right here.
