Chapter 120
Gabriel crying is such a heart-breaking sight. His shoulders hunch and shake with sobs, tears racing down his cheeks and his bright, forest green eyes dull. He holds me so tight that I can barely breathe, but I cherish the moment. What if it's my last?
"I love you. More than you can ever know, please remember that." I cry softly, caressing his cheek with the pad of my thumb.
"I love you too Amanda, my light. You mean everything to me." He whispers back, stroking my hair as he stares back at me in sadness.
I nod, both of us knowing it's time when my vision blurs in and out of focus and my breathing slows, just like my heartbeat. He quickly leans forward and presses his lips to mine in what is a kiss full of hope, love and heartbreak all rolled into one.
I watch with half-opened eyes as his fangs protrude from his gums, slightly longer and sharper looking since his wolf, Mura, has also come out along with Boris. Green bleeds to black and red swirls in a hypnotizing manner. As a weak cry of pain leaves my lips, he looks down at me with so much love that I feel my heart breaking all over again. I mouth 'I love you,' to him, too weak to say it and smile shakily when he says it back.
And just like that he sinks his fangs all the way into my neck and over the bite, eliciting a scream of absolute agony from me. It's raw and unadulterated pain. It's getting too much for me, my breathing is slowing, I can feel my heartbeat decelerating and my vision is darkening as if a black sheet is being pulled across my sight slowly.
And then I'm thrown into darkness.

Gabriel Silva's P.O.V.
I pull my fangs out of Amanda's neck and lick away the blood that has spilled out from the bite. Drawing back, I see that the bite is still an ugly shade of purple-almost black. My hope begins to diminish when I hear my mate's heartbeat, it's frighteningly slow. A short pause of three seconds will occur before the next beat and it is fucking with my mind.
She isn't breathing normally, in fact it's so slow and uneven I thought I had lost her at first. Her eyes are shut, hiding those beautiful grey orbs I long to see. I hold her tighter to me, flinching when I realize that her body heat has dropped significantly.
"Please, don't leave me. I won't be able to live without you." I whisper, my voice cracking at the thought of Amanda not being in my life anymore.
She's my second-chance mate, my light and my moon. She gives me hope every day. How will I function without her? Surely, the Moon Goddess can't be so cruel as to take even my second-chance mate away from me? What have I done to deserve so much pain?
Wiping away the tears I have shed, I pull off my shirt and dress her in it. We are on our way to a pack here where Amanda will be treated until she is fit to come back home. The Alpha is an ally of mine and I'm grateful that he has extended a helping hand when he found out I was searching for my mate. Jezebel and Doctor Petrova will be waiting for us to arrive to determine the severity of the situation.
I want nothing more than for Amanda to wake up.
Nothing else.
I knock on the partition, telling Ryan to open it up. Whilst the screen slides down, I adjust a blanket on my mate's body to keep her warm. We are about fifteen minutes from the pack. Both my beasts are silent, releasing occasional whines and howls of pain and sadness.
"Is she...?" Ryan trails off uncertainly, glancing at me through the mirror.
"Passed out when I mated ed over the bite." I mumble back, still staring at my mate for any signs of movement when I know for a fact that she won't be waking up any time soon.
"Amanda will be fine. She's still breathing, we just need to have faith in the Moon Goddess." Chris speaks quietly, his shoulders tense as sadness radiates off him in waves.
Ryan and I nod in agreement. If the Moon Goddess takes my mate away from me, there is no stopping me from following Amanda to the moon.
"Link with Dr Petrova and tell her to get a room set up. I want everything ready for my mate, there will be no delays to her treatment. Call Jezebel and make sure she's there." I growl darkly, watching as Ryan nods.
All we can do now, is hope.

I'm the first one to race out of the car and towards the pack infirmary as soon as it skids to a halt. Dodging people on my way, I yell for Dr Petrova and Jezebel, following their replies to the Alpha suite. Laying my mate down on the bed, I explain the situation as Ryan and Chris come up behind me.
Dr Petrova begins to run some tests as Jezebel walks closer to my mate, observing silently. I begin to grow increasingly frustrated when she doesn't speak for what feels like forever. Growling, I run my hands through my hair in stress, hearing the nurses tell everyone else to leave and give them some space to work.
When they come to me, I glare at them fiercely. Hell will have to freeze over before they take me away from what's mine. I hear the hesitant footsteps of everyone else who has followed fade until the Alpha wing is silent except for the sound of doctors and nurses rushing back and forth.
"If Amanda was destined for death, she would have passed by now. The fact that she is yet alive, although barely, brings me hope. However, the state she is in right now means that..." Jezebel trails off with uncertainty, giving me a knowing look.
"She could die within the next few days...Fuck!" I roar, punching the wall beside me in anger.
I'm seeing red.
