Chapter 40
Zayn
I was in my room getting dressed when I felt sudden pain shoot through my chest like someone stabbing me through the heart. I felt a chill run down my spine and all of a sudden Hunter cried out MATE he thrashed like a f*****g crazed beast trying to take control over me and come out.
I started getting different mind links from Alex, Matt and Katherine all I could hear was Hope.
“Matt what is it? Where is she?” I mind linked him as I raced downstairs as fast as I could .
As soon as I reached the foyer the smell of b***d hit me.
I saw a crowd gathered outside and three dead rogue bodies on the ground one of them is the filthy rogue that spoke up about the Blue Moon pack.
Matt and some other warriors were in their wolf form.
My mom is hugging Katherine while they both sobbed. I kept looking around at the scene in front of me but couldn’t hear any sounds. It was as if my soul had been detached from my body. I staggered back in fear of what might have happened to her. Where is she? My mind and body finally connected and kicked into overdrive, I rushed through the crowd trying to find her.
“How could this happen?” I heard her mother cry out
“Where is she?” I wailed as all I saw was fear and misery on the faces around me.
“Zayn she’s in the hospital” Kyle said with the look of sadness all over his face. I lounged forward running as fast as I can with everything in me. I ran like a maniac like my life depended on it. My life does depend on it. If she isn’t okay….
Alex stops his car by me my father was sitting in the back, he gripped my shoulder but didn’t say anything.
Kyle speeds by us in his car with Katherine and mom
“Get in” Alex says
“What the f**k happened ?”
“She was attacked” My b***d went cold. Please please be okay I kept saying to myself
“By who?” All I could think of was murder
“One of the rogues from the dungeon”
“How the f**k did she get in there?” All I wanted right then was to get to her and make sure she was okay.
“She didn’t …they got out” Alex answered, I looked at him shocked. Someone let them out, I thought to myself.
“Three of them were killed the rest were captured and taken back down to the dungeon ” My dad interjects he
“Is she okay?” I asked desperately. They both stayed quiet. “Is she okay?” I growled out a loud cry
“Brian said she’s not awake” A loud pained growl escaped my throat
Before the car even stopped I opened the door and jumped out.
“Where the f**k is she?” I roared as I ran into the hospital looking around for anyone. My heart clenched as soon as I was hit by her scent. I need to see her where is she? I looked around like a f*****g lunatic and started following her faint scent.
“Alpha please calm down” One of the doctors told me, I grabbed him by his coat collar and lifted him off the ground
“You better not be telling me to calm down when I don’t know where she is or what’s wrong with her” I was about to throw him across the reception area but Alex and my father pried him out of my grip. A few other doctors and nurses came rushing over. The reception was full of pack members all here for my baby.
“Alpha he meant no disrespect please we’re trying to help your mate” Another female doctor cried out
“Follow me I’ll take you to her room but please prepare yourself she’s still unconscious”
I stormed down the hallway after the doctor. My heart sank, the closer I got to her room the stronger her scent. I barely noticed her parents, my parents and some of her friends gathered outside her room while there were two doctors and a nurse inside.
“Zayn” Emily rushed over I could tell she had been crying
I keep walked by and yanked the door open. Finally, there she was sleeping on the hospital bed, my heart fell and I froze for a second when I saw the nurse bandaging her head and neck. I came over to her side and took her hand. Electric shocks ran through me as I shook her hand gently trying to wake her up. Hunter howled out in pain aggressively when she did not respond.
She looked so pale but so beautiful like she always did.
“Hope” I ran my hand through her hair, put my head on her chest inhaling her scent and listening to her heart beat.
The doctors let me be. I guess they knew better than to mess with me right now.
One of them spoke with caution “Alpha I will be outside when you’re ready take your time.” She said before they left me alone with my baby .
I dragged the chair quietly near her bed so I could keep holding her hand. I kept calling her name to try and calm myself down …..for now.
I don’t know how much time had passed by when Brian and Katherine walked in along with my parents.
Her mom looked like a mess, her eyes were swollen and it looked like she had no color. She hugged her daughter as she sobbed
“Katherine you have to stay strong the doctor said she is unconscious and she will wake up.”
I tore myself away from her and walked out to the hallway where one of the doctor was sitting waiting for me.
I stood in front of her with my hands shoved in my pockets.
“Tell me” My voice sounded almost broken. My father and Brian were by my side.
“Alpha lets go to my office. We can..” I cut her off
“Tell me here” I demanded
She took a deep breath “okay”
“Your mate is unconscious due to trauma to the skull. We are about to take her down to the reading room for a CT scan just to make sure the brain has not been injured. She would have healed a lot faster if she had been in touch with her wolf. But according to what I have here she’s not of age yet.” She said looking down at a file in her hand.
I asked the only question that I needed to know
“How did she hurt her skull?” I asked in a low menacing voice though I felt a dangerous anger pump through my veins.
“Alpha your mate has suffered a heavy blow to the head. Someone hit her… this wasn’t an accident”
I turned around to my father and Brian “Make sure she’s taken care of until I get back” I said, before I stormed out of the hospital with one thing on my mind… revenge.
I heard Brian call my name but didn’t stop, all I could see was b***d.
“I’ll take you up there” Matt called after me. He knew where I was headed.
I ran down the dungeon stairs and grabbed two of the security guards
“How the f**k did the rogues get out?” I snarled at them
“Alpha please we just got here…we weren’t on duty when it happened” I tossed them aside and walked passed them “Matt get me the guards that were here when the rogues got out WHERE THE f**k ARE THEY?
“Zayn calm down, they’re already locked in dad’s office and I have someone outside the door watching them” He yelled.
I moved quickly and slammed a rogue on the ground while I pressed my foot into his neck. “Which one of you filthy f***s is going to tell me what happened?” I sneered
“Please please I’ll talk” The little b***h cried out
I kicked him hard “TALK”
“A she-wolf let us all out. She said she would let us go free if we killed your mate.” Rage and vengeance flooded through my entire body
“So you were all involved in this?”
“Yes please forgive me I will follow your orders” The mother fucker cried like the the pathetic f**k he is.
I grab another rogue and slammed his head against the brick wall. B***d gushed out of his head he whimpered and screamed. I opened my jaw and bit down hard into his neck with a howl then dropped his lifeless body. One after the other they all fell dead except for the one talking I needed him for a while longer.
I threw him in his cell and walked towards the guards. “If he gets out you’re both dead”
All kinds of thoughts were fogging my concentration. I stormed straight to my father’s office, my father was already in there waiting for me. He was sitting behind his desk and the guards that were on duty stand in front.
I mind link Alex “Bring Ethan to me , the head of security to the Alpha’s office now I want to see him.”
“How did the rogues get out?” I sneered at them
“Alpha I apologize I don’t know what to say”
“Say the f*****g truth…How were the rogues able to get out of their cells, leave the dungeon and attack my mate while you two were supposed to be guarding?” I shouted and stood in front of him.
“We left our post” His voice trembled. Just then Alex and Ethan walked in.
“Why where the f**k did you go?” I asked trying hard not to tear their eyes out
“We ….Alpha we…”
“SPIT IT OUT!” I demand. My father watched but didn’t interfere
“We were distracted by a she-wolf…she came on to us …and …”
I already know the answer to my next question but I had to hear him say it.
“What she -wolf?” I asked through gritted teeth.
He paused for a second “Crystal” I can already see her begging for her useless life before I kill her.
I turned towards Ethan “Ethan you’re in charge of security right?”
“Yes Alpha” He puts his head down
“So how the f**k did seven rogues end up roaming around in our territory and in my mate’s house?!” I roared
“I don’t know what to say Alpha whoever planned this was careful…I swear my loyalty is to you I would never betray the Alpha family.”
“Then prove it! Do your f*****g job! “
“Matt take them all down to the dungeon and lock them up, You can stay there until I’m ready to deal with you”
“Alex hunt down Crystal and bring her to my office”
