My Hot Alpha
Chpater 143

"Prepare ourselves for what?". I asked getting to my feet. I knew what she meant but I wasn't giving up. She was strong, it wasn't her time yet.

"Oh sweetheart". She bounced up from her seat pulling me in for a hug. "I'm so so sorry". She whispered. "How are you doing?". "Is there any change?".

"No change honey but we're hopeful the antibiotics will work. They're going to start her course later this morning".

My uncle Zac was very quiet. Hadn't said two words to me, never even looked my way. It was like he didn't want to be here.

"Did George leave?". I asked.

"He's away to get some things but he'll be back soon". It didn't faze me that she already knew about George. I was the only one kept in the dark about their secrets.

I felt him behind me, again he placed his hand on the lower of my back. "Let's go get some coffee. I'm sure your aunt will come and get you if there is any change". I didn't argue that I wanted to stay, I let him lead me out of her room.

As we began to walk towards the canteen I slipped my hand into his. "Thank you for staying with me". We didn't talk about the pack meeting. Apparently everything was fine and I wasn't to worry.

"You don't need to thank me beautiful. I'm always going to be here". Lifting my hand to his lips he placed a kiss on my knuckles. "But promise me you'll go home and get some sleep".

"Okay". I wasn't leaving until I knew she was going to be okay. He didn't need to know that just now. I wasn't going to argue with him today.

"You want something to eat?". The smell of coffee reached my nose. I wasn't hungry, couldn't stomach anything. My nerves were shot.

"Just coffee please. I want to get back to my gran". It was still early, not even 7am yet. I needed more rest, I needed my bed for sleep but I couldn't leave. Leaving her wasn't an option. I would never forgive myself if something happened and I wasn't here. "You need to eat baby". As we reached the counter I scanned the menu. Nothing seemed appealing to me.

"I'm not hungry Jake". He didn't say anything after that. I took a seat at one of the tables while he grabbed us both a coffee.

A yawn escaped my mouth as I rubbed a hand over my face. I felt sick. I was worried out of my mind and there was nothing I could do but sit here and wait.

"Here". He passed me my coffee which I gladly took. "My moms going to drop by later. She's asking if you need anything".

"I'm okay but tell her thanks". There was no point in her bringing me anything. I would need to go home at some point. I needed a shower and clean clothes. "You okay?".

"Yeah let's get back. The doctor should be starting her antibiotics soon".

.....

We waited and waited but still there was no change. They had started her on antibiotics and a new drip. I was still struggling to see her lying there helpless.

Carter and uncle Zac had left. They needed to stretch their legs which meant they needed to let their wolf out. Jake still wouldn't leave me, he wouldn't leave until I was ready to go home.

"Leah, sweetheart, go home and get some rest. You've been here all night". My aunt Claire looked just as beat as me. "If anything happens I'll call you".

"She's right babe. You need some food and some sleep". Jake added.

Both of them were right. I was exhausted. "You'll call me if anything changes?". I didn't want to leave but I was no good with hardly any sleep. I couldn't function.

"Of course I will". As she hugged me goodbye I was still hesitant to leave. "Go sweetheart please". With one last look at my gran I left.

For the first time ever I prayed. I prayed that she would be okay. She didn't deserve to go just now. She wasn't ready. I wasn't ready to live without her.

Jake didn't take me home, instead he took me to his house. "I've already got your stuff here. Lana dropped it off last night". It was as if he could tell what I was thinking.

"I was surprised she didn't turn up at the hospital". She wasn't family by blood but she was family, our family and I know my gran would want her there.

"She didn't want to intrude Leah".

"She would never intrude". I frowned. "Lana is family". Why would she think that?

"Come on". He led me inside the heat being the first thing to hit me. It was cozy. Kicking off my shoes I groaned when he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. "Regardless of what happens I'm here for you. I'm always going to be here". Placing a kiss on the top of my head a sigh escaped my mouth.

I wasn't ready for anything to happen. I had to bury my feelings and fear and think positive. "She's going to be okay, she's strong. I'm going to shower quickly and then get back to the hospital".

"Baby". His grip tightened.

"I'm okay I promise".

I didn't even get the chance to change my clothes. Carter called me.

My gran was awake.
