The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Chapter 41: Dreamy Duo

Felicity’s POV

I bypassed the team of doctors and nurses asking me what I was doing in here. I was transfixed by the sight Malachi with tubes everywhere. They were monitoring his heart rate and breathing, giving him oxygen and intravenous fluids. I could see where the bullet had pierced him based on the soiled bandage on his right chest. I had spent the entire drive here crying but now, I fought back the tears. I did not want him to see me crying in case I was the first thing he saw when he awoke. I could scarcely believe my own husband, my best friend of so many decades, had done this. I shuddered to think that Farris was capable of something like this. I had to believe that Malachi would make it for my own sanity but what would become of Farris? The punishment for an attempt on one’s Alpha’s life was death, or at the very least. banishment.

“Excuse me, Miss, you can’t be in here, I’m sorry. Only relatives at this time, preferably just the next of kin,” said a young doctor in pink scrubs.

“I’m his mate,” I said softly.

She looked shocked. She, of course, recognised him as the former alpha. She did not try to disagree with me or trouble me further. She just nodded and walked away as if not surprised that the alpha’s supposed “luna” was not his real mate.

“Who is the next of kin?” I asked, curiosity and jealousy nagging at me.

The doctor glanced at her file. “Maze Mason, his son and current alpha,” she said matter-of-factly.

Relief swept over me. I knew it was petty and childish but I was happy not to hear his wife’s name come out of her mouth. I thought of my Friday at the mention of Maze, her mate. Friday’s father had just shot her mate’s father. What kind of crazy train had I let my only daughter board? This was essentially my doing, my poor choices. My fault. Water droplets hit Malachi’s hand, the one I was grasping and stroking gently. It took me a little while to realise the water droplets were just my own tears finally falling. I took a deep breath, trying to come down. Malachi stirred.

I cried anxiously, gripping his large hand a bit tighter. He

kissed his forehead and planted kisses along his jawline and neck.

The anxiety was killing me but I did not want to rush him to talk in this state anyway. It must be such a huge effort for him. He was rambling a bit. I had noticed Maze did that too sometimes when he was trying to express an emotion for once. I had asked Fang to eavesdrop a little. I had been so worried when Maze had initially rejected Friday.
