Better Than Revenge

Chapter 13

Hello Everyone! Here is the newest chapter a century later! I hope you thoroughly enjoy it!  

Gen- 

I made my way out of the store, clutching the cool water bottle in my hand. I looked around the parking lot hoping to get one last glimpse of Alec, I am not quite sure why. I didn't see a sign of him and although I was relieved by that, my wolf still longed for his presence. I began to make my way through the parking lot whilst selecting a new playlist on my phone to listen to when I was ready to run again. I finally decided to just put my whole phone's playlist on shuffle and run when I reached the end of the parking lot. 

It was nice having my hair being such a short length while I ran because not only was it cooler, I didn't have to feel my hair swing and lightly whip my shoulders with each step. I began to push myself harder and pick up my pace all the while envisioning all the things that my rejections had made me hate about myself. I wanted to make a change for myself because I figure that the happier I am in my own skin, the happier I will be all together. As I ran along the road I started to become winded and light headed. I figured that my body was just exhausted and needed water so I paused for a moment and began to sip at water bottle. Before I knew it all my water was gone. 

Too exhausted to trek the distance I had come back home, I called Andrew. "Andy, can you please come pick me up? I came on a run and now I am just feeling really exhausted." The phone conversation was quick and before I knew it I was in the passenger seat of Andrews SUV basking in the AC. The drive home was fine, Andrew and I hadn't as much as said a word to one another the entire ride but as we approached my home my head began to ache intensely. When we pulled in to the garage I climbed out of the vehicle and made my way up to my bedroom.  

The moment I walked through my bedroom door an intoxicating scent filled my nostrils; Alec. I looked around my room which he obviously wasn't in which confused me. Why was his scent so prominent in my room? Figuring I was imagining things and was just sick I climbed in to bed and fell fast asleep. I was awoken by Andrew shaking my shoulder, "Wake up Genesis you need to quit sleeping your life away!" he laughed. But as he laughed I began to feel an aching pain spurring from my bones. It was the exact same pain I felt not only a few days ago. Alec was bonding again, not with me, his mate... but with Andrea. I am not quite sure what hurt worse, the physical pain of my organs twisting or the emotional pain shredding my heart. "Genesis! What's wrong?! Genisis answer me!" Andrew worriedly said as my body contorted and tears poured down my face. "Fuck, what's happening... fuck fuck fuck! Don't worry Gene it will all be okay!" He said between my gasps for air.  

My ribs were collapsing around my lungs and my abdomen was being stabbed by scorching coals. This pain was infinitely worse than the last time. I felt my back arch and I heard my screams pierce through the walls of my home. I had no control over my body, yet I could feel the violent attacks of pain coursing through it. I could faintly hear Andrew anymore and just before my eyes closed I thought of Alec and in my mind begged him to stop. 

I was awoken to the smell of linen sheets and a consistent beeping noise. I peeled my eyes open which seemed to almost be glued shut. I was immersed in a bright white light "Am I dead?" I asked aloud to myself. As my eyesight began to adjust and I started to focus, I realized I was in a hospital bed. I looked around the room hoping to see someone, see someone waiting at the bed beside me but there was no one. I was completely and utterly alone. What on earth had happened and why was I here. I laid there for what felt like a century until a nurse came in.  

"Oh Genesis you are awake! Thank goodness, Hello my name is Abbey, I have been taking care of you." She was stunning. Abbey had a southern twang to her words and her grey eyes looked like they could pierce a soul. Her skin was bronzed and she had long brown hair. 

"Why am I here? How long have I been here? Where is everyone?" I managed to ask, my voice was hoarse and speaking at the moment almost seemed foreign.  

"Well we are not quite sure what happened to you but your body induced itself in to a coma due to an intense amount of pain. We are not sure what the pain came from though as the tests and MRI's we have ran for you have come back inconclusive. You have been here for two weeks now but I am so glad that you are awake! I will be sure to alert your brother after I am done answering your questions! Your brother just left an hour ago but he has been here every day for you. Another person stopped by as well, a girl named Camilla a few times." It was all too much to process; I had been in a coma for two weeks! This was insane, why had I only had two visitors? The pack didn't seem to have cared I guess.  

"Thank you Abbey, I need a moment to think in privacy would you mind calling my brother?" I asked the kind woman who looked to be about Andrews's age. 

"Yes of course! I will be back soon!" She radiantly smiled before she made her way out of my room. I wondered why no one came to visit me but the worst part of it all was that my soulmate obviously didn't care. I was brought back in to the crushing reality of things and boy did it hurt.
