A Weekend With The Alpha

“I may never get the chance to say this again, but I need you to know that I am sorry. Zera, I am sorry for everything. I wis you could believe me and know that I speak the truth. I never meant to hurt you, nor did 1 desire to see your heart and trust broken. I will always live in regret for what I did to you, for what I did to Levi’

Silence dwelt for a while, so the only sound he heard was the heart monitor beeping, “I have taken everything from you and 1 am indeed selfish. I hope you know I did everything humanly possible to keep you alive, but all effort has proved useless and I have no other choice. We cannot say goodbye to you just yet. I know I cannot.”

As he said those words, his hand holding onto hers transformed from that of a human to that of a furry werewolf. His fingers grew out into white, sharp claws and he dug them into the skin of her hand. He brought her wrist up to his mouth his fangs grew out and he dug them into her wrist, feeling the blood that gushed out on his lips.

His tears dropped.

He dropped her hand back to her side and withdrew his as it transformed back into its human form.

“I hope you someday forgive me." he rose from his seat and leaned in, placing a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room...

zera's lashes pulled apart as her consciousness returned to the loud beeping of the heart monitor standing beside her o the left side

Her eyes did a quick scan of her environment, trying to decipher what could have led her to this moment, but finding no such memory. Where was she and how did she get here?

These questions demanded answers, but the room was void of anyone that could give her the answer.

She heard the speeding car down the street as if she wasn't in the ward, and the machine beside her wasn't helping eithe and its noise grew with every passing moment. She heard laughter coming from the side of the door, and her eyes darted there.

Her head ached with the noise happening around and it felt as if it would explode the very next second. She pressed her hands to her ears and shut her eyes. This had to be a nightmare, one she would wake up from in no time, but as her eyes opened back up, she was still here trapped in the room where all the noises were coming from. Her heart raced faster tha it had ever gone and sweat broke out on her face. Becoming fed up, she slammed her hand against the noisy heart monit and the machine flew and smash against the wall, reducing the noise.

She sighed.

The door opened the next second and in walked a young nurse, looking to be in her early thirties in blue scrubs and a notepad in her hand.

She realized she was at the hospital. She didn't remember how she got here, but she feared it had to have been somethir serious.

The nurse slowed down on her step at the sight of her, surprised to see her awake, and Zera wondered why she was surprised. The nurse, whose name tag read Abigail, didn't move any closer and as her eyes saw the machine laying in the room's corner, she panicked and her heartbeat sped up.

zera didn't know why this nurse's heartbeat was racing or why she could hear it so loud, but she needed it to stop becaus the headache slowly made its way back with the noise.

“Your heart is beating too hard. It's giving me a headache.” She told the nurse, who now trembled in her stand. “why are you trembling?” she asked, but all she got in response was silence and a more racing heartbeat.

“Go. Go call the doctor,” she told her, and the nurse scrambled out of the ward at the same second.

She thought that was the weirdest thing she ever encountered.

The noises had reduced, which was better than before, but her aching head persisted. Hopefully, the doctor finds a solution to that. She thought.

A few minutes later, the doctor walked in and, just like the nurse; he was much surprised to see her awake.

Did something bad happen? She wondered.

“Ms Adams, you're awake."

“Were you hoping I wouldn't?” she raised a brow at him.

He laughed, and it came off nervous in her ears, “Of course not. We always hope for the best with our patients, but your case was quite different. You see, you were involved in a fatal accident and were brought in here. You weren't going to make it through the evening and nurse Abigail here came in to take your final recordings before we pull the plugs and found you awake."

She had stopped following him after he said a fatal accident. She had a scattered memory of the accident but she had thought it was a dream, but it wasn't a dream.

She had been in a terrible accident, and the doctor already concluded that she would not make it. Here she sat now with no scratch or pain except for the noise-induced headache that she currently experienced.

“t will check your vital signs and then inform your family of your recovery. They will all be delighted?’

She wondered who the family he spoke of was, but she didn’t think too much about it. She tried to avoid anything that would cause a strain on her brain and cause more headaches. The doctor moved closer and his eyes caught the heart monitor on the floor in a broken shape, and then he turned to look at her with weary eyes.

“Did you do that?”

She pressed her lips together and nodded. “Yes, I did. It was noisy." She explained, and though his eyes narrowed on her, he asked no further questions.

He ran a few physical tests on her to check all her vital organs and realised she was fine. Then he moved to unwrap her head of the bandage thereon, hoping to check the injury she sustained. When they came off, he examined closely before mumbling, “There is no trace of the wound” to himself.

He stepped back and stared at her as if she was an alien. “That's medically impossible” he stated, and just like the nurse earlier, his heartbeat rose at an unsteady rate.

“Am I okay, doctor?” she asked, and he nodded.

“Yes, it would appear so, but there is no way this could have just happened. It seems like a miracle.” he took a step back before saying. “I am glad to still have you here with us. I will inform your family you're awake. We will conduct further tes in the morning”

He said and stepped out of the ward, more like ran.

Zera paid little mind to them and all she wanted now was food and quietness.
