The Rogue Alpha’s Unexpected Mate Chapter 18

Crystal POV

Since I’ve been in the hospital and heard the whispering voice, I have some hope again. Seeing Zanian so vulnerable and broken takes a piece of my heart out every day, but it makes me stronger too.

I know better that anyone nothing lasts, but I just wish we hadn’t fought so much because we could have used that time to get to know one another.

I’m sitting in Zanian’s office going over some of his work and trying to find a pattern.

The packs were not attacked randomly. Every pack, starting with the Blood moon pack, and then every pack around it ending with my old pack. It forms a perfect circle, so whoever is doing this must be in the middle. A place no one knows about, or would suspect that someone is living there. I laid out a grid of the map and got to work.

*did you know you have healing powers?* Roxy said and that got my attention?

“I have what?”

* You have healing hands, don’t you know?*

“ No. how was I supposed to know?”

She scoffed at me and said, *well good thing I’m out because I cannot take any more of these depressing emotions you and Raven share so freely.*

“ Our mate is dying, Roxy. What do you expect from us?”

*go to the hospital and I will tell you what to do. I guess you never knew because it is my ability, same with teleportation. Only I can use it correctly in the battleground.*

I dropped what I was doing and made my way over to the hospital. As I walked in, I could hear some commotion and wondered what was going on. I walked over to Jeff and asked him “what is going on?”

He looked up at me and smiled, “well I don’t know how, but every trace of silver is gone and I mean out of his system. In the last three days, his wounds have healed and there is no sign of any infection, all his vitals are back to normal so he should be waking up any day now.” I listened to Jeff and I couldn’t believe it. There is no cure for silver poisoning, at least none that’s found. I walked into Zanian’s room and I could see that he looked so much better and he got some color back. I walked over to his bed and willed him to wake up. Raven was trying to reach his wolf, but I guess his wolf was still too weak because she gave up and retreated. “ Please Zanian, you have got to wake up.” I bent down and kissed his lips softly. I left my lips lingering a second longer than necessary and I felt him stir. I pulled my head back and just looked at him. His eyes fluttered open and then shut. He lay there for a good two minutes before he opened them and those beautiful green eyes made contact with mine. I was so happy to see them that I couldn’t even utter a word.

I walked to him again and I crushed my lips to his, feeling the sparks spreading all over my body but lingering on my lips. He groaned but I didn’t stop. He gave up and kissed me back. Sneaking his hand around my head to pull me closer.

I pulled away and laid my forehead against his breathing deeply. “ You will never do that to me again.” I said and he just smiled that cocky smile of his.

Zanian POV

My body feels weird and I have no idea where I am. I have been trying to get home for a while now and every turn I make just leads me back to where I started. I felt hands on my body but couldn’t see any, and then the pain started. It feels like my blood is on fire. I screamed but no one seemed to hear because the pain didn’t stop. As I lay on the ground screaming from the pain, it started to subside and I could feel a warm hand in mine, but again I couldn’t see anything.

“ Please wake up.” I heard, and I started running towards the voice. Why does Crystal sound so broken and tired?”

“I’m coming sweetheart, I promise” I said, and kept on running towards the voice.

I felt my lips tingle and I gave in to the sensation, knowing I wanted to see her again and feel her, and yes, challenge her. “it makes things more fun to see how angry she can get so fast and she loves a challenge.”

Beep… Beep… Beep… Beep…

There is that sound again. It is really starting to piss me off. I tried opening my eyes and it worked, but I had to shut them again. The light stung and all I’m seeing now is starts.

I lay with my eyes closed for a while and then tried again. I opened my eyes and looked right into the most mesmerizing blue ones. Before I could say anything, her mouth came down on mine and sparks erupted all over. I groaned at the movement I made and I’m glad she didn’t stop. I put my hand around her head and pulled her closer, kissing her for all the time I missed.

She pulled away and laid her forehead against mine. “ You will never do that to me again.” She said and it was a broken plea that spoke a thousand words.”

She pulled her head back and every emotion was visible in her eyes. pain, fear, joy, love, hope. Wait… what? LOVE. I saw love and when I looked again it was gone. I looked around and saw that I was in a hospital room.

“where am I?”

Crystal looked at me confused for a second before she said, “ You are in the hospital, you’ve been here for a while.”

I looked at her and tried to remember and everything came rushing back as if it happened yesterday.

“the pack?”

“ They are safe, Zanian,” She said and looked down, fumbling with her fingers.

“Crystal, what is going on?” I asked, trying not to move too much because my body was protesting against every move I made.

“ Well, there have been some changes. You have been in a semi-coma for over two weeks, Zanian, and if you couldn’t protect yourself, what chance do the others have? so I moved everyone into the main house and pulled back patrols. 24 hour patrol around the house and Hospital, shift change every six hours.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, so I closed my eyes and told her to get Jeff. Her face fell and she left.

I’ve been stuck in darkness for two weeks and now the main house is overcrowded. I don’t even want to know where everyone is sleeping.

Jeff came in, but he was alone. He looked at me and smiled a big smile. “ Welcome back, Zanian.”

“tanks. So over two weeks, huh?”

Jeff nodded his head and got closer to the bed, “you had silver poisoning and you weren’t healing, so your wounds became infected and then the infection started spreading. You had me worried at one point because your vitals kept dropping, and this morning when I came in the infection was gone, every trace of silver was gone and you healed completely, except for some scarring on your shoulder.”

I listened to what he was saying. I looked at him and asked about Crystal and what she had done.

“Jeff, what has she done to the pack? She had no right. Zane should have taken charge.” And that was a mistake.

“ You have no right, Zanian. Do you have any idea what that girl went through these last two weeks? She did everything she could to keep the pack safe because you didn’t, no, you got hurt. She has been up here every day hoping you would wake up, basically willing you to wake up. She has enough shit from the pack because she is different and the sluts you slept with are making a point in making her life hard. Just be glad that your pack is still standing because if she gets hurt then there will be no pack left.”

He turned and left and I was left speechless, confused and angry. “ What in the hell happened while I was dying?” I got out of the bed and groaned, but I pushed myself to stand up and started making my way to the door.

I made my way out of the hospital. Every step I take, I can feel my strength returning but it will take some time to be 100%.

I stepped out, sunlight and heat hitting my skin. I took a deep breath, inhaled fresh air and made my way to the house. I heard a very loud screech and knew I had been spotted.

I turned around and I couldn’t even utter a word because someone smashed their lips against mine. Standing there stunned, I opened my eyes and saw dirty blond hair and knew that it was Natalie. I tried pushing her off me but she refused and the next thing she was pulled backward so hard that I almost fell forward.

I stood there stunned. I looked at Natalie and I could see fear in her eyes, “Crystal, please don’t do this.” I pleaded, but all that got me was a laugh. She is laughing at me.

My name is not Crystal, but how could you know because you never even asked?

And then I realized her wolf was out and this could end badly.

“all we did, was protect this pack, all we did was work for approval and you know what, all I wanted was my mate and you have made that impossible for me. So I am done trying and so is Crystal. You broke her enough and now we are saying enough.” I took a step forward and looked at Natalie. “ You are right, but I would like to change that. Just don’t kill her please.” She looked at me and then said, “ Do you know that I know when you are lying? It’s like a bitter taste in my mouth. So you make a choice, Zanian, the life of your slut or your mate?”

I tried making contact with Blaze but he is quiet because only he can get us out of this. It is his mate.

“Blaze, buddy, I need your help, so please come out.”

*No Zanian, I am done cleaning your mess with our mate.*

“ If you help me I will accept her Blaze.”

*then the choice should be easy Zanian.*

“ Blaze, please.” Was the last thing I said and the blaze took over. I felt my eyes change.
