Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 195

Lauren's

POV

It happened so fast.

In one moment, Victor and the Dark Witch were having a conversation. Before I could even blink, the woman collapsed on the ground and Victor was choking in his own blood. While I was calling for my mate's name, my training as a medical practitioner kicked-in.

I checked for his vitals and tried to revive him.

His pulse was weak.

I pressed my palms on Victor's chest. All the while, my eyes were on his face. It was ashen.

As my healing ability surrounded him, my attention went to the blood splatters on his upper torso. He looked like he was gunned down.

If I did not witness everything, I would say that it was bullets that went through his body.

Several lacerations were present on his arms and shoulders. They were created by the droplets of bloods coming from Camila who happened to be the ex-lover of Victor's father.

Even I was shocked when I learned that the Dark Witch was connected to Victor. It thought she was commissioned by rival tribes who wanted to bring down Victor as one of the superior alpha leaders.

My heart thumped louder when the blood that oozed from Victor's mouth turned black. The Dark Witch's blood was poisoned!

Even in her death, she wanted Victor to suffer. She was an evil personified. I am glad that she is dead.

"Victor, come back to me!" I screamed when his pulse remained weak.

I pressed my palms harder on his heart. I could almost see the white smoke coming from my palms. It must be the healing power coming from me.

Victor coughed out. They were more blackened blood. I could see the familiar black liquid that I took out of Victor's vein when I did the surgery on his knees.

He remained unconscious but his body is heaving caused by the poison that entered his blood stream

I turned him to his side as he vomited. Then, he stopped throwing up. He was still out.

"Luna?"

I refused to let my eyes wonder from Victor's body.

I checked his vitals again. I breathed in relief when his pulse was back to normal again.

My healing power must have fought against the toxin in his body. I was never more thankful in my life that I have this gift.

I sat on my ass as I wait for my breath to return to normal.

I lifted my head only to replace Richard beside me with many of the warriors surrounding me and Victor in protective gesture. "Our mission is successful, Luna. How is the Alpha?"

"He is alive, Richard." I answered. My tears fell on my cheeks when I said that. "Can you help carry him to the car?"

He nodded. "Thank you, Luna."

"How is everyone? Did we lose anyone?"

"No, Luna. We have injured warriors but we have no casualty?"

"I'm glad." I turned to one of the warriors on my left. "Take two people with you. Please check the barn. There might be human inside. Make sure that they will be given proper care." I have to step forward since my mate is indisposed at the moment.

"Yes, Luna."

I faced the woman on my right.

"Pick that b*tch from the ground. Be careful not to touch her blood. It's poison. Burn her."

"Yes, Luna."

"Find the Andrews. If they are not dead, kill them. Burn them together with the Dark Witch. They have no right to be alive."

"With pleasure, Luna."

"How about the dead rouges, Luna?"

"Burn them. The human authorities will have a field day if they found dead bodies in this place."

"How about those who live?"

"Bring them to the tribe. Jail them. We will ask the alpha what to do with them when he wakes up."

"Yes, Luna."

"Let's go home." I ordered the rest of the team as I followed behind the warriors that were carrying the unconscious body of my mate.

When we reached the manor, I have Victor placed in our bedroom. After I cleaned him, I put him on a dextrose to rehydrate him. I also asked for the help of Mila to check him.

It was unfortunate that my friend and I have the same judgement.

Victor is in coma. His body has been battered by the strong poison used by the Dark Witch. According to Mila, who was also a witch herself, if not for my healing power Victor could have died with what he went through.

I pulled open the curtains so that the light entered the room.

It has been a couple of days but Victor remained on the bed. His vitals were normal but he was not waking up.

The color was back on his face. The injury that he sustained from the fight against the Dark Witch were all healed. "Hey."

I found my friend at the door. She has a tray on her hands.

"Hey."

"I know it's hard but you also have to take care of yourself." Mila stated as she drew near. "Victor will not like it if he learns that you're not eating."

I sent her a guilty smile.

Mila placed the tray on the table. It has a glass of orange juice and a sandwich.

"I will not leave you alone until you finish the food, woman. You have nothing on your stomach except for the piece of bread and coffee yesterday."

"I did not know that you are keeping tab of my food intake, witch."

"Someone has to."

I pulled the chair beside the table. Mila did the same.

I picked up the sandwich. After two bites, I was about to put it back on the plate when my friend raised her eyebrow.

I rolled my eyes before Grabbing the drink. After a sip, I finished the sandwich in four more bites.

"It wasn't so hard, right?"

I shook my head. "Thank you, Mila."

"You're welcome. How is he?"

"No improvement since last night. But everything is normal except he's not opening his eyes or any hand twitching at all."

"He will come back to us. His body is healing, Lauren."

"I know but I can't feel his wolf, Mila."

My friend cannot come up with a response. Instead, she held my hand. She made sure that I was not alone.

The rest of the day, Mila never left me alone in the room. She either talk about the medical journals that she brought with her or the plans I have for the mating ceremony and the wedding. She always made sure that I have something else in my mind than worry about Victor being in coma.

I was grateful for her. Until the night came when I am alone again in the silence of the bedroom.

Like What I did for a couple of nights, I seized the hand of my mate. I infused my healing power into him. I also tried to call for Kent into our mating bond.

I fell asleep holding into the hope that when I wake up, Victor was no longer in bed. That he has left me to attend to the tribe's affairs.

Yet, when I open my eyes, the first thing that I see was the hand of my mate connected to the IV fluid that hydrates him while he sleeps. Tears descended on my face again.

It was the third day since Victor fell into the coma. I am not losing hope but I want him with me awake. I need him.

It was five in the morning. The sun will rise but the love of my life remained on our bed. He is recuperating but his wolf remained unheard. Kent might be recovering or he might be gone forever this time.

"My Love, I know you can hear me. Open those beautiful eyes." I begged as I enclosed his free hand in both of mine. "I miss your voice and your smile. Please wake up."

I pressed my forehead on top of our hands. My tears are falling as I poured my heart.

"I love you, Victor. Waiting is not my strong point. Please wake up."

I muttered more incoherent words as I pleaded him to wake up from his deep sleep.

"Moon Goddess, please bring my mate back to me. I love him so much. Please. Please."

I was wailing like a child. My head was bowed as I pled to the mother of all werewolves to bring the love of my life back.

My hiccups resonated in the stillness of the bedroom. I am panting due to heavy crying.

I lifted my head when the light from the rising sun reflected on the wall of the bedroom. I realized that I forgot to bring the curtain down last night.

I was about to stand up when something pulled my hand from leaving. Mindlessly, I glanced back to see what kept my hand from moving.

A gasp exited my mouth when I realized that another hand was holding it tightly.

Fresh tears, tumbled on my cheeks when my eyes met the beautiful orbs of my mate.

Victor is awake!
