“Werewolves are different from humans although most injuries sustained by werewolves are treated the same way as we would a human. But the werewolves aren’t humans. We heal faster and we’re stronger.”
It sounded like Curtis.
“Spit it out,” Blake demanded. I don’t know if it was because he was my mate that his voice was clearer than anyone else’s.
“The machines are breathing for her, they are keeping her alive…I think it might be the reason her body isn’t healing itself.”
“How sure are you?” Blake asked.
Curtis was a brilliant doctor but even he couldn’t be one hundred percent sure.
“Well, the thing is…I’m not sure. There is no way to know for certain if that is the case. It’s just a hunch I have,” Curtis replied.
“So you think switching off the machines is going to do what?” Blake asked calmly.
“I think if we switch the machines off, her body will be forced to heal itself.”
I heard a growl.
“Shh, Scar,” Cade soothed.
“What happens if we switch off the machines and you’re wrong?”
“If her body doesn’t heal itself, then she will die.”
I felt my initial nervousness begin to turn to panic.
“What do you think will happen if we keep her on the support?” I heard Blake ask.
There was a heavy silence as I waited for the answer.
“She will stay in a coma and she won’t wake up.”
Blake let out a frustrated sigh.
“What do you think?” he asked someone.
“I don’t know,” Scarlett replied in a hoarse voice.
I wanted to tell them not to, but they wouldn’t hear me.
“I need a minute alone with her,” Blake asked.
I felt the warmth of our connection spread through me from his touch on my hand.
“Hi, baby,” Blake whispered hoarsely. My heart felt the pain in his voice.
“You need to wake up,” he pleaded with me softly.
I’m here, I tried to tell him.
“I don’t know what to do,” he admitted.
Please don’t, I begged silently inside of my mind as I felt my emotions begin to swirl inside of me, pushing away any logic. I was alive.
“What do I do?” he asked.
No matter what I wanted to say to him, he wouldn’t hear it.
