Chapter 17

"Put her down." I looked at the man who told me to put her down. I didn't know anybody here, they could be dangerous.

"Scott, they know who we are. They won't harm her." I looked at Bailey then sighed and put her on the bed. "My mom, dads, and brothers are on their way. Maybe a few cousins too, I'm not sure." Bailey began to ramble as we watched the nurses and doctor work on Brooklyn.

"And your uncle? He is the Alpha of this territory right?" She looked up at me. "For the next month yes."

So her uncle must have a son who is about to turn the age where he can take over or has waited until he felt it was time to take over himself.

"Aunt Keela!" Bailey said letting out a breath and jogged over to a beautiful dark skinned woman then wrapped her arms around her. I haven't been here long but I've never seen Bailey so vulnerable.

They started walking back over to me, but I had my eyes on my amoureux though, she was so pale and I didn't like it one bit. "Where is uncle Brandon?" I glanced at the 2 women again. "I was closer, he'll be here soon. Danielle and Caleb are with him too."

A gust of wind made us all turn around, to reveal Bailey and Brooklyn's parents.

"Mom, oh thank goddess you're here. I tried to heal her after we got here, but it didn't work." Bailey got out of her aunt's arms and ran over to her mother and hugged her tightly.

"It's okay baby, sometimes there's things we can't heal." She told her, I turned back around as my lycan began growling again. I tried to calm him down but it wasn't working.

I felt him try and take over my body and mind but I fought him off as best as I could.

"Keela, where is Brandon? My boys are grabbing some clothes for the girls. We need an Alpha here to calm him down."

"No dad, he has a link to Brooke. Ask your wolf they can sense it just like Jessie can!" My brain tried to take in what they were talking about, but I couldn't focus on that. My beast wanted to lay claim to the woman laying in that rubber mattress.

I felt arms secure me from behind, I knew it was one of her fathers, I let out a growl my canines extending along with my claws. A man I didn't know stood in front of me, he looked older than both Noah and Wyatt so I pegged him for the uncle.

He placed his hands on my shoulders, he had a stern but warm glow on his face. "I don't know you so don't force me to command you to calm down!" It wasn't me that was being the idiot it was Ezekiel.

"Your command may not work. I come from a long line of Alpha and Royal blood..." I told him closing my eyes tightly. He looked over my shoulder then I felt the person who held me let go.

Everyone of them were now standing before me when I opened my eyes again, along with a young man who looked to be around Brooklyn's age, he had a yound woman at his side then there was a older woman who was around Bailey's age maybe older. They were all just staring at me.

"What?" I growled at them. "It's the same color!" The young man said. "His eyes are the same color of her wolf's eyes." He turned and looked at Brooklyn then looked back at me.

"The name is Ezekiel, young pup." I told him. This damn lycan is gonna get me killed.

I whimpered when I heard her wolf whining to him. I normally wouldn't hear it, but now that he had taken over he has me in my own head where he normally would be.

Bailey stepped in front of me. "What is it?" I looked up to the ceiling and blinked back the tears that wanted to fall. "Zena, she won't tell me, I can hear her crying and she won't tell me what's wrong."

Bailey looked back at her sister, she grabbed my hand and pulled me with her as we went over to the bed. The nurses had stopped what they were doing and moved out of the way.

"Mark her!" I turned to look at her like she was crazy. "I can't. I don't even know if we are destined or not, plus she still has his mark on her."

She roed her eyes. "I'm well aware. But you can hear her wolf even without a mate mark, do you need more proof than that?"

I nodded my head. "Yes I do!" Bailey rolled her eyes again. "You obviously didn't need the proof when you slept with her."

"Bailey!!" Her mother hissed harshly. "That's enough young lady. Who your sister decides to sleep with isn't our business, it's hers."

"You're one to talk mom!" Now she was taking her frustration out on her mother. "I know Brooke asked you about the sparks she felt when she was with him. You said you would ask Clary to talk to Selene about it. It's been a week."

I looked down at Brooklyn after she was done. So it wasn't just me that felt them? "Since you haven't gotten back to her with what's been said I asked Jessie to go."

I heard a deep breath being taken then a hand on my arm. "As I said earlier, you should tell her." Bailey said softly. I leaned down and kissed Brooklyns forehead then backed away so that the nurses could keep working.

I turned around, my face void of emotion even though I was feeling so many. "I quit." I said roughly then walked past them all and out of the hospital.

Bailey turned to her parents who haven't said a word. "You should have been honest with her mom. She has a right to know."

"I was trying to protect her."

"Scott isn't Ryan! I have seen him with her, just tonight Evan opened up the mind link for me to hear how happy she was while playing with Tyler. I've never seen her act that way before Scott came to stay with us." I told her softly.

"Bailey you want to be upset with her, when you, your siblings and all of your cousins knew what was going on before your mother had that vision. So yes she don't trust people so easily when she knows that her daughter's last mate was hurting her." I looked away from my dad, his hazel eyes always burning into my own when I fought with mom.

"I know you don't trust him, but Zena does, and more importantly Brooke. Does that count for nothing?" I whispered.

"She trusted Ryan too.." I looked at Caleb and glared at him. He has always been a suck up to my parents, he also thinks he's cool because he's one of the cousins who got powers.

He looked away from me instantly and hid behind his mate, Kayla shook her head and patted his arm in a soothing manor.

I seen the doctor walking over out the corner of my eye so I turned around.

"We know this isn't your hospital or pack of choice even though we're a merged pack, but if you want we can keep her here until we can have her transported back to yours?" He glanced at the chart in his hands. "So who is Chase Baker?"

"That clever girl!" Uncle Brandon chuckled. "Instead of putting Ryan on her list of emergency people to contact she put Chase."

"So much for her trusting, Ryan!" I smirked over at Caleb and he grumbled while still standing behind Kayla.

"I'll call him sir, is it just Chase or is his wife on there too?" My mom asked, the doctor looked back down at the chart. "Yes, there's a Jessica Baker here aswell."

Before he turned to walk away i grabbed his arm. "How is she?"

He gave me a small smile then looked at everybody else. "Well, the baby isn't doing good, I'm not sure it'll make it. Also she's bleeding internally, but based on the bruises on her stomach and back, I have a pretty good idea why that is."

"What?" If she looses that baby she might not want to keep going after that. I'm going to kill Ryan if she looses her.

The doctor rushed away from us as the heart monitor began going crazy.

I rubbed my chest to ease the ache I was feeling, I knew it wasn't just mine, it was everyone who was here.

I jumped when my brother Levi popped up in front of me with a bloody Ryan draped over his shoulder "What happened to the leech?" I asked taking in his appearance.

"Ask him!" He said just as Zackary and Jordan showed up with Scott, he didn't seem injured at all, his head was bowed and his hands had blood on them.
