Chapter 27
**Still Alpha River’s P.O.V**
The doctor came back with me and the surprised gasp that left her lips told me what had happened was not normal. I paced in front of the window as the doctor ran a thorough check up on her before starting to make some phone calls. I know it was to her family with the way she spoke franticly but respectful at the same time. I couldn’t help but have a bad feeling about all this. I wanted to go in there and comfort her but I know it was just wishful thinking.
That blasted spell her brothers put there was doing a damn fine job from preventing me from entering. I was at my wits end here and I couldn’t keep standing on the other side of the wall while my mate lies on the other side. With a deep breath, I opened the door and without hesitation. I closed my eyes and rushed inside.
I waited anxiously for the pain I knew was coming but none came. Gingerly opening my eyes, a small smile made its way onto my face when I realized I have been able to enter the room without feeling like I was going to die.
I briskly made my way towards my mate and I couldn’t help the gasp that left my lips.
“Is she going to be alright?” I asked the doctor softly
“I don’t really know sir” the doctor replied without looking at me
“Why is she like this?”
“I wish I could tell you but it is not my story to tell. You will have to wait for her to wake up so she can tell you herself”
“I know but… I don’t like being kept in the dark. If she’s still not awake by tomorrow, then it will be a month of her in comatose and me not knowing what the fuck is wrong with her. It’s killing me”
“It will get better… just don’t lose hope”
“Okay”
I sat on the vacant chair opposite her bed and watched my mate properly. For the first time in three weeks. The more I watched, the more fascinated I became. But then I was worried as well and a little horny. You can’t blame me. My mate has undergone a total transformation within a short time span and she’s rocking it good. I wonder if she even knows what has happened to her body.
Kiara told me she has already woken up but from where I am seated it seems like she was still in her comatose state. Her chest was hardly moving and when I stuck my finger under her nose, I felt little to nothing.
I turned my gaze towards the heart monitor and by some miracle, it was reading just fine. I reached for her hand and I can’t say I’m surprised when I realized she was still as cold as when she first went into this comatose.
What the fuck is going on?
Chaos’ P.O.V
I laid in bed, feeling next to nothing. Though my eyes were closed, I could feel everything around me. I have been awake for quite a while now but I just didn’t feel like opening my eyes. I just wasn’t ready to interact with anyone. So, I waited till midnight and after listening and making sure there was no one awake with the rate at which their heart was beating I opened my eyes. Only to be met with the stern ones of Kiara. Oh, this bitch is always on my case.
“Really Khione?” she asked with tears glistening in her eyes
“You were supposed to be asleep” I replied dully
“And you were supposed to be in a coma!”
“I just woke up”
“Don’t give me that bullshit. I knew you were already awake. Five fucking days ago”
“I… I just wasn’t ready to face reality”
“I know but you know just as much as I know that you can’t run from it”
“Sadly, I do. I don’t want to look at myself so tell me what you see”
“Nothing”
“Don’t lie to me Kiara. I see tears in your eyes and you tell me, you see nothing”
“It’s because I don’t. All I can say is that you have changed and when you are ready… a mirror would be waiting”
“Why can’t you just tell me?”
“I can’t for the same reason that you refuse to look at your self Khione”
I laid back in bed watching her with tears in my eyes. I was never able to hide how I truly felt from Kiara. She’s seen me cry before so this won’t be the first time.
“I’m scared and cold” I whispered shakily as the first tear rolled down my face.
“I know and I’m scared too” she replied back with the tears still glistening in her eyes
“Papa said to stay strong but I couldn’t”
“It’s not something you could have fought Khione. You and I know that perfectly well”
“I tried Kiara. I did but you can’t fight for something you’ve already lost”
“Yes, but you can fight for what is ahead of you and I am going to be there every step of the way”
“No, you can’t. This is my battle”
“Nonsense. They became my battles too. The moment I swore allegiance to you when we were six”
“Yeah I remember. We’ve come a long way Kiara. And I will forever be grateful”
“Aw spare me that. You’ve saved my life more times than I can count and if anything, I should be the grateful one. But remember, we are family and all this doesn’t matter so long as we’ve got each other’s back. And I’ve got yours till death do us apart and even then, we will continue in the afterlife”
“I’ve got your back too sis. Till death do us apart”
“Why don’t you rest? We’ve got a long day ahead of us tomorrow. Mama Chaos is coming soon and you’ve got to take extra care now that they have arrived”
“Yeah I know… I heard them when I first woke up”
“Sleep now. I mean real sleep. I will be here when you wake up”
I closed my eyes but didn’t sleep till I heard Kiara crying her eyes out in front of my door. I’m not surprised though. She’s always trying to be strong for me when I need a shoulder to lean on and vice versa.
I chuckled inwardly when she snapped at my mate and then finally let the darkness pull me under when he entered into the room to check on me. I feel nothing towards him so his presence doesn’t affect me anymore but only that of our new arrivals on the way.
I know with how oblivious he is; he will miss the blatant signs that are there too.
May the goddess and fate have mercy!
