Chapter 119
"Yes I am." Leilah replied and took a deep breath, Grandma Amelia pulled her hand and they entered the room.
Leilah was so heartbroken to see Alpha Jake attached to a lot of beeping machines, his nose was attached with an oxygen while his hands were connected to drip.
She covered her mouth.
"This was all my fault; I shouldn't have been so selfish and left." Leilah said.
"No, my dear Leilah, you did what is right and no one can call you selfish for that, the must important thing is that you are here and everything will be fine." Grandma Amelia replied.
Leilah nodded; the doctor walked in.
"Are you ready miss Leilah?" The doctor asked.
"Yes doctor." She answered and wiped her tears with a sniff.
"Go close to him and call his name." The doctor said and she gently walked close to him, she stared at his face and gently placed her hands on his face.
"Alpha Jake...can you hear me? Your Leilah is here, open your eyes now." She said but nothing happened, she looked at the doctor and the Doctor look at her too.
It was not something he has expected.
Alpha Jake has been calling Leilah's name then why didn't he responded to her calling.

Prince Aisen stood outside the door praying anxiously.
Aliah sighted him, she smiled and walked to him.
"Hey take it easy." She said, he opened his eyes.
"It looked like you are about to lose your Breath." She added.
"That's what going to happen if my brother doesn't open his eyes." Prince Aisen said.
"Come on, don't say that, I know that he will open his eyes, you are so brave so be brave and believe in this." Aliah replied.
"No, I'm not brave Aliah, don't say that to make me feel better." Aisen said.
"Of course, you are, and I'm not saying that to make you feel better." Aliah replied.
"Alpha Jake has been a father and a mother to me, when our parents were killed, I was so emotional drenched, he was there for me, he made sure I got better, he always encouraged me and supported me and literally did everything I want just so I could be happy again, but I can't believe that after all the things that he has done to me I will allow love of a girl to me hit him, I should have gave you Leilah for him a long time ago because even if it's my life that he wants, he deserves to get it, but I was so in love, I was so stupid, I ended up hurting both Leilah and Jake." Aisen exclaimed.
"Sometimes mistakes are tended to happen but realizing your mistake is the bravest thing ever, given up your love for two people to be happy is the strongest thing ever, you should be proud of yourself." Aliah said.
"I won't lie to you, it hurt me that I can't get Leilah, and it's taking me a lot of time to heal, her smile, her laughter, her face, is all I see in my eyes, believe me I want to get over her, to get over the crazy love I have for her, to stop feeling the sparks I feel whenever I am with her, to accept that she will never be mine, I know that it's better to have her as a friend and sister in-law than to lose her at all, but I don't even know how to convince myself, what word to use to convince myself to stop my heart from loving her, I'm so restless Aliah." Prince Aisen exclaimed.
"You just need time to heal, she isn't your enemy so you don't expect your heart to just stop loving her, you need to learn how to live without her love in your heart, you need to encourage your heart that your decision was the best thing you did for her and your brother, you need to distract your mind away from her thoughts and her memories, focus on having fun, do thing's that will make you happy, spend time with your friends and you know, before you know it, you will wake up one day and only see her as a best friend, you will hug her without feeling anything, it's so easy." Aliah replied.
"It's sounded so easy for you, but you don't get it, Leilah cooked for me, she arranged my room, feed me, choose the clothes for me and..."
"If she does that then see her as a babysitter trying to discharge her duties, what if Leilah was just an old woman and your babysitter, would you have felt attracted to her? Apart from the feeling of love you had for Leilah, you also have the feeling of lust deep inside you, craving for Leilah's body, that was what caused the intense feelings, don't you have friends like female friends, the one you trust you can send time and have fun and also help you to heal?" Aliah asked.
"I don't, I only have guy friends and they are very bad, trust me." Aisen chuckled.
"So, what would you do now?" Aliah asked.
"If I ask you something, will you so it for me?" Prince Aisen asked.
"I don't know, but ask first, I can't promise, if it's something I can do, then I will do it, if it's not, then I will tell you I can't." Aliah answered.
"Okay..." He paused and took a deep breath.
"Will you help me heal? Will you be my friend? Spend time with me? Have fun with me?" He asked, she stared at him and licked her lips not knowing what to reply as on the other hand prince Aisen was anticipating for her answer as a No can shattered his already broken heart.
"I don't know I...I..."
"Please Aliah, okay I'm not going to force you, just do what you want okay, and j will accept it with an open arm, make your decision, don't worry about me." Prince Aisen cut her off.

Back at the ICU...
"Doctor, what happened? Why is Alpha Jake yet to open his eyes? You said he will open his eyes immediately Leilah talk to him or call his name but nothing happened, she has been calling his name since." Grandma Amelia said worriedly.
"I also don't know, that was what we thought, I'm also so surprised that he didn't open his eyes." The doctor replied.
"Maybe it's something different, if Leilah's voice did not make him to open his eyes, then I'm sorry we can't do anything, we have been giving him treatment but he is not responding to it at all, if not for the life supporting machine, he will have been death by now." He added "No, no, nothing will happen to him, I will talk to him and he will listen." Leilah said.
She returned to Alpha Jake.
"Alpha Jake, fine I admit that I had left you and I shouldn't have, you can punish me for it later but you have to open your eyes now, I want to say this to you, I want to tell you what I have in my heart, I want to tell you that I love you so very much and you decide to leave me then I'm not going to live too, even Grandma Amelia has no problem with our relationship, prince Aisen and Liam has also gave us their blessings, that is why you have to open your eyes please I'm begging you Alpha Jake, don't punish me this way, I can't live without you." Leilah cried as she said continuously.
The machine's started beeping loudly, the doctor run to check.
"Oh my God, Alpha Jake's breath is going down, this is a really bad sign." The doctor said.
"Please do something doctor, help him." Grandma Amelia cried.
"I'm trying." The doctor said as he pressed the emergency button, more of the nurses arrived, they started pressing his chest and rubbing his hand immediately, while the doctor attached an oxygen on him, they kept on doing that but nothing is working.
Leilah cried watching him struggling to live, she closed her eyes.
"Please Moon goddess, if you have connected my heart with Alpha Jake, please use my heart to wake him up, he can't die, he can't leave me, his brother's, his subjects and his Grandma Amelia please help him, give him another chance and I will serve you till forever." Leilah Cried with her eyes closed as she prayed, an idea popped into her mind, it was a risky one but she was willing to do it, she will have to wake him up with her own emotions, she stood up and headed to his bed, the doctor's wondered what she was about to do, she used her hand and removed the oxygen from his nose and she did the must unthinkable thing, she placed her lips on him kissing him passionately.
