Alpha Luka And His Human Mate

Victoria's pov

All our hearts were in our throats as we entered Caleb's room. Ashley was the first to speak as she took slow steps towards his bed.

"Caleb? "

A grunt came from him, and I knew I could speak for everyone when I said that that was the best grunt I've ever heard in my lifetime. She was in tears again as she ran the rest of the way towards his bed and jumped on him, cradling his head in her bosom as she cried.

"I thought I lost you" She sobbed in his hair. He winced slightly, but he didn't hesitate to return her hug, though he was weak.

"I'd never leave you baby. Even if I have to fight with Death himself" His voice was soft and croaky, but the confidence made it loud enough for us to hear.

"But II felt the bond break"

"It didn't sweetheart" He pulled her back and wiped her tears with his shaky thumbs. "You actually anchored me back here. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm so sorry."

Her cries got heavier and he managed well enough to sit up and hugged her as tight as he could. We all watched the beautiful moment in awe, our hearts silently rejoicing that we hadn't lost such a wonderful soul from our lives.

His parents were next to embrace him, though Ashley never left the bed. His wounds were still fresh and I could see that all the squeezing hurt, but he didn't mind.

"I thought I'd have to raise you and kill you again for leaving us" I mumbled to him when it was my turn to hug him.

Unruly tears trickled down my face as I held him. I realized that I did indeed love him dearly and was scared to death about losing him.

"I really do love you Caleb" I added softly, trying my best not to hurt his wounds too much.

"I love you too Tori"

I flashed him a teary smile then backed away so Lincoln could have his moment also. The poor guy looked scared to hell as he hugged him with glossy eyes. I could see that his relief was overflowing, since he didn't actually lose two brothers in one day.

"I hate to disturb you guys, but he's still low on blood," Nurse Tara said softly. I checked the heart monitor, and indeed, his heartbeat was a bit unusual.
