At this ti, I closed my eyes and pretended to be too tired because I didn’t want to see the faces of those two n.
"Will she recover fully?" Mike asked.
Honestly, I don’t know why he was concerned about my recovery because I bet he wished I was dead.
"She will, but it will take ti. She doesn’t have a wolf to help her with healing, so it will be a bit challenging, but a full recovery is possible with the proper care." The doctor emphasized proper care so much that I thought she had ulterior motives. But at this, my consciousness started slipping away again.
It seed that I had underestimated the injuries I had suffered.
"How long do you think...." I heard Karl start to ask, but I didn’t hear the rest of the sentence because I completely blacked out.
Mike’s POV
I paced up and down outside the hospital room waiting for the doctor to finish the examination. Then she and two nurses pushed Valerie to the radiology room for scans.
I realized that her situation might be worse that I expected. I didn’t know what to feel at that mont.
I hated her for being so useless. I hated her even more for being chosen by the moon goddess as my mate. But for so reason, I still worried about her safety.
I couldn’t shake off this cloak of anxiety that had enveloped since I walked into that room and saw her battered body.
My emotions were so confusing that it made restless.
"Pacing isn’t going to change the outco. And you are making us dizzy with all that movent." Karl spoke from the side.
At this ti, a crowd had ford in the corridor of the hospital.
Of course, I knew they weren’t there because they were worried about Valerie. So were there to gloat. Others were just curious why I cared so much. They could understand Karl because he was always helping Valerie here and there.
But I was different. I had even helped most of them torture her and gave her unwarranted punishnts.
And others simply had nothing to do and ca there to join in the fun.
"If she does, do you have any idea how much trouble the pack would be in?" I asked Karl in a serious tone.
Of course I was trying to cover the real reason for my worry.
Karl knew why I was worried. It was mainly because Valerie is my mate, and losing her while our bond was still there would hurt badly.
But I knew he wouldn’t expose .
My statent was for the benefit of those standing around us. And Innocent who was crying her eyes out at the side.
Even though I knew the injuries on Valerie were her handiwork, I couldn’t bring myself to bla her.
I just hoped that Valerie would pull through, because then I wouldn’t be affected by the mate bond, and Innocent wouldn’t be implicated in a cri of murder.
Karl smiled at my statent but said nothing.
It was at this ti that the gurney was pushed outside the radiology room again and Karl and I rushed over to ask about the situation.
My face went completely white when I heard the diagnosis. I knew that Valerie had been hurt, but I hadn’t expected her to be so badly injured.
We were asking a few questions to understand the situation better when suddenly one of the nurses called out to the doctor who was talking to us.
"Doctor Sam, she is going into shock." The nurse shouted, a little louder than necessary but I could see the panic in her eyes when I turned around.
The doctor abandoned Karl and I and rushed to the gurney.
She touched the side of Valerie’s neck with two fingers before I heard her curse under her breath.
"Get to the OR, ASAP." She shouted then climbed on top of the gurney, striding Valerie and began pumping her chest to give her CPR.
From the panic on the nurses’ and doctor’s face, I could tell that Valerie was in bad shape.
And it was at this ti that Jerry decided to make his presence known.
"If anything happens to her, I will never forgive you. I told you to take care of that bitch you chose as your Luna, but you wouldn’t listen. Now see what she has done to our mate."
I hated it when Jerry contradicted . That’s why most of the ti I would cut off our contact because he was always lecturing .
Especially the issue of Innocent being the chosen Luna. Jerry had opposed it, telling to wait until I found our mate.
But I had already fallen for Innocent at that ti and I didn’t want anyone else.
So, I promised Innocent to make her my Luna.
When I found out that Valerie was my mate, I realized that I had made the best decision by choosing Innocent as the future Luna of the pack. There was no way I would ever let Valerie be the Luna.
"Not now, Jerry." I rebuked because my insides were already collapsing as I felt the bond between Valerie and I weaken.
From this, I could tell that her situation wasn’t good and I didn’t need a wolf telling how wrong my choices had been.
"Now you pretend to worry? How about all those tis you tortured her? How about all those tis you slept with that slut when our mate was alone in that dark room? You don’t deserve such a wonderful mate Mike. I hope to the moon goddess Valerie rejects you." Jerry was so close to cursing and I didn’t need the noise at this ti.
So, I did what I usually do, I blocked him.
What kind of cursing was that? If I lost Valerie, won’t he also be losing his mate? Why does my wolf always behave as if he was a separate entity from ?
I watched helplessly as Valerie was wheeled into the theater and it was hours of agonizing patience as we waited for the operation to end.
That was the longest six hours of my life.
