One mate and a Rejection

Chapter 27

PART 1 Chapter 27 — 01

Blade's pov

My fingers twitched as I watched Emerald's still body as she slept on the hospital bed.

My wolf urged me to go ahead and clutch her hand like dear life but I couldn't.

Not with all her family around.

When she fainted in my arms,it was the most terrifying feeling I've ever felt.

Something inside of me triggered and froze in panic.

I couldnt seem to move.

Concern twisted within my gut and travelled up my system,transforming more deadly by the second.

Needless to say I was stunned,struck with horror and grief.

My wolf had wanted to lung out and do something but my system was temporarily frozen.

The screaming of other people was the only thing that brought me back to reality.

I forced myself to remain calm and barked orders for someone to call an ambulance.

I forced the people in the ambulance to let me carry her in and ride with her.

The rest of the ride was a blur and I remember holding on to her fragile fingers because it was the only

thing keeping me calm and made sure to be careful to not break them.

"Your mate?” the guy asked.

I had swallowed hard and answered,” Just a—friend.” I looked around the room I was currently in.

Her parents sat at the two plastic chairs at the corner,with Jason and Amanda.

Lisa and John stood huddled up to the side and Jasmine,Jared and his dad stood by the door.

I felt out of place and awkward but I didn't want to leave.

I couldn't.

The doctor finally came in clutching a useless clipboard.

“Emerald’s parents?” he muttered.

They immediately stood up,” Yes doctor?” "She's fine.

Nothing life threatening Just a lot of stress.

Her wolf couldn't handle it.

She's a new shifter and allshe’s probably gonna wake up any second now.

Do you know anything specific that may have caused her stress."? “Well” her mother pursed her lips,”

Me and my husband had a big fight and he moved out.” "That may be part of it,is there more?”

Everyone remained silent.

I glanced at Jared.

Will he say something? That he broke her heart.

I stared at him while he looked at the ground.

He remained quiet.

looked up at the doctor and just as I was about to speak up,Lisa jumped out,” Her and Jared were

dating for a couple of years and he found his mate.

She was broken—hearted.

Could that be part of it?” "How recent?” “A bit more than a month.” The doctor nodded,” Possibly,where

is her mate?"

"She doesn't have one,’ said her dad.

I forced myself not to look down,feeling shame and anger burning in my veins.

She does have a mate! I'm her mate! “But it says here she's a shifted werewolf.” “Yeah,she did it

alone.” The doctor's eyes widened, That's almost impossible!” We all glanced at Emerald as she began

to shift around.

Her eyes opened and I felt myself moving closer without a conscience.

Her confused gaze met mine and I almost melted at how beautiful her green eyes were.

"Where am I?"

“You fainted, I said gently,worried that if I spoke a bit louder,it will hurt her.

Her eyes widened,” What? Why?” The doctor stepped forward,” Your wolf was under a lot of stress.”

She sighed,” I'm so weak.” "No you're not,” I said,without thinking.

Everybody glanced strangely at me and I cleared my throat and stepped back.

“Can everybody leave the room please? I'd like to have a chat with Emerald.” "What? Why? I'm—"

I began but quickly shut my mouth and exited with everybody else.

I went around the room,searching for a spot where I can listen but this was a werewolf hospital.

They were smart enough to build each wall thickly so no other werewolf can eavesdrop. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

But I soon found the other door for that room and leaned between the cracks to listen.

Emeralds pov The doctor stared at me for a moment, Your parents tell me you shifted with no mate.” I

swallowed loudly and wondered if there was a possible way to tell if I were lying.

“Yes,that's true.” “I didn't ask if it was true or not,” his gaze bore into mine suspiciously.

Iwas taken off guard and realized he was right.

“I-I thought.

I mean,you kind of implied—"

“Implied what? That I don't believe you?"

lremained silent,wondering if this counted as harassment.

“Emerald,your wolf is under pressure and stress.

A lot of pressure and stress.

The result of an overly stressed wolf is depression and slowly your wolf starts to disconnect from you.”

"What does that mean?” “You won't be able to shift after that.” My heart began to beat loudly,” D—do I

just become human?”
