Alpha Luka And His Human Mate

I threw down the sponge after we finished cleaning him off, but I could see that he was slipping away slowly.

"Where is Tara with the blood! " my breathing got unleveled and my vision was just blurry; nothing seemed to be going right.

"Caleb! Caleb stay with me please" I cried as I dabbed a stream of sweat from his forehead. His eyes bobbed once and offered me a weak smile. He coughed again but this time blood followed with it.

"Doctor Deslandes " Someone called, but I ignored the voice and cleaned the newly spilled blood from Caleb's face.

"Doctor Deslandes"

"Caleb you're gonna be just fine just please hold on"

"Luna! " I was spun around and faced by Doctor Monroe as he gazed at me sadly.

"This is too personal for you. I suggest you go be with your family. We'll do everything we can in here". He suggested, seeing my condition too. I was just as panicked as Ashley.

I processed his words then glanced at the nurses hooking up the blood. They looked slightly uncomfortable because of my constant shouting, so I decided to take his advice.

"Please stay with us Caleb. We need you. Ashley needs you" I wiped the tear that fell from my eyes and onto his forehead as a nurse placed a ventilator mask on him. Placing one last kiss on his cheek, I exited to the hall where everyone was.

Ashley was still sobbing, and so was Emma who was dressed and sitting in a chair. Lincoln paced back and forth looking even more scared and torn than me.

He just lost a brother, I can't imagine how he'll feel if he loses another one.

I sat beside Ashley in the corner and hugged her tightly. Her crying only grew worse in my shoulder.

"He'll be okay Ash, it'll be okay" I cooed even though I wasn't entirely sure if I believed that too.

My heart ached at the whole scene. All of this could've been avoided, but it wasn't the time for throwing blame.

An hour passed and still nothing from the doctor. Caleb’s parents and Chris arrived, and he had no clue where Stella was.

Two hours passed and still nothing.

Three. Four.

Then Luka came.

"Luka" I whispered in relief as I jumped on him, my crying resuming in an instant.
