The Guardian Wolf And Her Alpha Mate
The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate Bonus 8

Amelia POV:

My breath hitches as I stare at my ex-mate on the hospital bed, his arm is wrapped in bandages and the scent of antiseptic is high in the air. His face is pale and gaunt looking, he's seemingly aged since I last saw him, most likely due to the rejection and having to deal with his own thoughts.

Gone is the longing to be close to him, the emptiness I would feel when he wasn't close by. In its place is hurt and anger, yet despite that I can't deny that seeing him in this state doesn't upset me. "Oh David" I murmur quietly as 1 take a seat by his bed.

I hear the door open quietly behind me and lift my eyes to see a nurse called Hannah enter.

"Luna Mother" she murmurs bowing her head, "I was just checking to see if he had woken yet but he clearly hasn't.

Alpha Henry has requested for his transfer tomorrow, I will be doing hourly checks on him before I can sign off on his travel. If his wolf doesn't help soon he will have to stay."

"Of course Hannah" I say kindly as she offers me a small smile before leaving.

"Mathew" I say softly referring to his wolf. "If you're listening then please hear me out. I know you're upset, and you're hurting. You're angry with both David and myself, and that's understandable. But you have to help him heal, for both of your sakes. Just because I broke our bond does not mean I wish you to punish yourself more than you both already are. Heal him please. For his children's sake you have to."Update by FindNovel.net.

"He's grieving" Lina murmurs to me. "He's a stubborn old fool who is so lost in himself he can't see that this will hurt himself and others even more."

Without replying I lean forward and grasp David's hand gently. "David." I repeat softly as his eyes begin to flutter open.

Looking around for a moment I hear his heart rate increasing as he realises where he is, before his pain filled eyes land on me.

"A..Amelia" he breaths as his eyes dart to where I'm holding his hand.

Slowly pulling it back I ignore the flash of hurt that I see cross his face.

"I came to see how you were healing" I say quietly.

"And to give Mathew a telling off" he says with a small smile.

"Yes" I say simply. "Not helping you heal is selfish of him."

"I deserve it" David replies in a broken whisper.

"Don't you think you're beating yourself up enough" I sigh as i cross my hands on my lap.

"No" is all he responds while moving his eyes to stare up at the ceiling

We sit there in silence for a few moments, neither of us knowing what to say next when we there comes another knock at the door. As our attention shifts, I see Henry peering in. "Mind if I come in?" He asks quietly.

"Not at all" I reply with a small smile relieved for some company.

"David, how are you doing?" He asks shortly.

"Mathew is healing me now" is all he says as Henry turns to look at me questioningly.

"I had a word" I shrug.

"David we need to talk about you coming back with me" Henry says with a heavy tone. "The way you behaved last time is not something the pack is going to forget, you attacked two of my guards."

Nodding slowly David simply looks at him waiting to see if there is more to say. With a sigh Henry glances at me before continuing, "as your brother I am sympathetic to the fact you have been rejected. Not only that but you feel embarrassed and shameful of your actions. But that doesn't excuse what you've done."

I know David says so quietly even my sensitive hearing barely registers he's spoken

"Has Mathew let you shift other than for the fight?" Henry suddenly asks as I look to David in confusion

"No' he replies hoarsely.

"That's a problem" Henry notes. "I have to ask because ! didn't before and I need to know for you coming to mine, did Mathew agree with the decisions you made of how to act towards your own children?"

"He did" David replies which has my brows shoot up in shock

"Excuse me?!" I gasp.

"Mathew agreed with the ideas of physical violence to try and make Jax a "better future Alpha?" What about the decisions you made when you stayed at the pack house recently? Jax has told me everything you've done" Henry admits. "He agreed with those also" David says calmly.

With a loud growl I push off of my chair, sending it flying back into the wall as I feel Lina forward in my mind.

"So both you and Mathew lied to us?" I snarl at him.

When he doesn't answer I turn to Henry who is looking at me sympathetically. "Can you believe this?!" I ask him horrified.

1 know Amelia, I know I didn t expect that answer either. To know that that's the case is worrying" Henry admits as he looks at his brother in disbelief.

"I you and your wolf are so in sync with the decisions you've made, why was he being in a humph and refusing to heal you until a short time ago?" I ask in confusion

"Because I lost you" he replies sullenly.

"Correction" I snarl, "after hearing that I can quite confidently say you both lost me. Admittedly I felt sorry for Mathew, knowing that he was losing Lina and the comfort of the mate bond. But now, both Lifa and myself, have no ounce of sympathy left." "You don't mean that." he whispers looking at me in shock

"David, seriously?!" Henry asks furrowing his brows. "Have you heard what you've just said, do you fully understand what you and Mathew have done?"

"We did what we thought was right" David snaps back, some volume in his voice at last.

"But it wasn't" Henry roars standing up from his chair. "1 have been there for you as a brother time and time again.

Ive been there for Amelia when she needed me, I helped her with the pups, with the pack and even her relationship with you over the years. I even took in the twins to ensure they got a position that they deserved. But this.. I don't even have the words to portray how I'm feeling right now, disgust doesn't even come close. Once again I am here cleaning up after YOU."

"I don't want him here Henry" I interject making both men's heads snap round to look at me.

"He's coming with me" Henry assures me. "But his actions can't go unpunished. Now it's just to decide what to do..."

"You really don't want me?" David whispers.
