Page 173 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"Kiara!" Darien said suddenly appearing in front of me, I gasped, jumping back and I may have fallen if he hadn’t caught me.

"What are you doing?!" I scolded, my heart thudding.

"Sorry… Can we-"

"What happened?" I asked, sensing his panic and fear.

"Nothing… His vitals just dropped a little."

"And you didn’t tell me!" I shouted, my heart squeezing as I pushed past him and into the bedroom.

Serena, Doctor Callum and two nurses were rushing around Alejandro.

A little? I could sense the anxiety and fear rolling off every single person in this room.

"…ready, just in case. Oxygen levels dropping to 78… heart rate- Luna…" Callum looked pale.

My eyes blazed in pure rage. How dare they not tell me!

I rushed to the bed, placing my hands on Alejandro’s chest and poured my healing into him. Callum looked at the machine.

"It’s not picking up."

"Why did no one tell me?!" I shouted, I felt sick.

"It only happens ten minutes ago Luna and when we heard you were on your way back, we knew you’d be here soon, rather than panic you on the way. I was coming to get you." Darien replied tight-lipped. I could feel his worry despite how composed and calm he was trying to act.

I couldn’t even focus on anything, my hands splayed on Alejandro’s chest. Pouring everything I had into him.

"What changed?!" I cried in frustration; his heartbeat was dipping.

"I don’t know." Callum said. "The only thing I can think of is you not being here by his side."

It felt as if my own heart had stopped beating. My visit away cost him. No! No!

"Luna move back, we're going to use the defibrillator." Callum said.

"He can’t die." I said, "He can’t!"

I looked at his face, his beard as groomed as always. I had washed him and taken care of him for the last four months and he truly looked like he was just asleep. Praying that he’ll wake up soon, this can’t be happening.

‘Please baby, wake up!’ I cried through the link as I moved towards his head, letting Doctor Callum do what he needed to. I didn’t stop healing him, I couldn’t let him go. Wasn’t this my ability? To heal? Tears streamed down my cheeks and I felt as if I couldn’t breathe.

Sharp pains wrapped around my stomach, dragging me from my thoughts, another strong cramping pain hit me and I gasped in pain.

Not now, baby, not now… I whimpered, feeling him kick. It was then I realised the pain I had just felt seconds earlier was not from his kicking… I bit my lip when another wave hit me and I realised it was contractions.

"One two… three! Again!" Doctor Callum shouted as Alejandro’s body jolted up from the bed as he used the defibrillator.

"Kia are you ok?!" Serena asked.

"I’m fine!" I whimpered, ignoring the agonising pain in my abdomen.

I wasn’t ok. How could I be? When my mate was dying! I was trying to heal him, but nothing was happening! The pain in my chest and stomach was only growing. Listening to Alejandro’s heart rate drop then beat weakly, then the most terrifying thing I had ever experienced happened. His heart didn’t beat.

A long beep rang in the room and I felt something wrench in my chest, the pain was even more than my contractions. I didn’t even realise when I cried out, falling to my knees. I couldn’t breathe… This pain… I felt as if something was being clawed from me. I screamed out in agony and then I felt a sudden emptiness.

"Luna!"
