Chapter 96: Wants to talk

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

"D… Dominic…! Dominic… Dominic? Dominic!"

Athena’s voice trembled as she barged into the room where Dominic was and found him lying on the

hospital bed lifelessly.She felt all her energy left her body at the sight of him.

Different kinds of machine and wires were attached to his body.

Two big bandages were wrapped around his stomach and his chest.He looked so defenseless at that

moment.

The man who never let anyone look at him in the eyes and talk was laying on the hospital bed with his

eyes closed for goddess know how long.

Could things be worse than this? She cried out as she felt her heart breaking at the sight of him but the

moment she took a step toward him, to run to his arms and ask him to wake up for her and hold her in

his arms, someone stopped her by holding her arm.

She immediately stopped and looked at the obstacle with dark and dangerous eyes.

A growl erupted inside her chest, making the man flinch.

He looked like another doctor.

"Luna, please calm down." He said in a professional tone while trying to hide the fact that he was

intimidated by her. She tried to pull her hands away from him as she didn’t want to have the same

conversation with him as Lisa.She just didn’t have the energy.

But when the man tightened his hold around her arm, not letting her go near Dominic, she lost her

calm.

"Let me go! I said let me go.I want to go to my mate.I want to go to him.Leave me!"

She shouted in fury and frustration while struggling against his hold.

No matter what, she was still weak from yesterday’s events.

Also the news about Dominic weakened her a lot as well.She couldn’t put up a strong fight with the

doctor.

"Luna, you can’t meet him until you are calmed down.It’s not good for him"

The young doctor said in a strict tone.

Athena was too busy to notice how he looked.

She frowned at him deeply, finding his words utterly ridiculous and irritating.

"Who are you to stop me from meeting my mate? Dominic? Dominic, see they are not letting me come

to you."

She couldn’t handle the burst of emotions and complained like a child with a defeated shoulder.

The doctor looked at her in pity but that seemed to oil her anger.

"Luna, please calm down.Alpha is not in a great condition.If you create ruckus here, that’s not going to

be helpful for him.You have to understand that."

His word of advice made her lose her complete calm as she glared at him.

"Don’t fucking tell me what I have to do or not! Dominic would have ripped your hands off for touching

me, do you realise that?!"

She snapped in a cold tone while looking at his hand which was on her arms, making him immediately

take his hand away.

No matter what she said until then scared him as much as her last line did.

He was truly scared thinking what Dominic would do t o him if Dominic found out that he touched his

mate.He gulped out loud while taking a step back from him while looking at her apologetically

"I am sorry, Luna.Please forgive me.I was just trying to look after the alpha " He said in a guilty tone

which didn’t do anything to calm her anger.

‘‘You think you can help him by stopping me from going near him?! I am his mate, do you think you

have more power than me in healing me?!"

She snapped, finding him really stupid.She had enough of these stupid doctors.

"I am sorry, Luna.I was just…."

The man tried to say something when a voice from the door stopped him.

"You can meet him, Luna."

A senior doctor in his mid thirties said while entering the room.

Athena immediately recognised the doctor from her yesterday.He is the same doctor whom she

attacked and threatened yesterday.

The memory made her embarrassed.She was embarrassed for acting like a brat.

God knows what happens to her sometimes!

"Doctor Ron"

The previous doctor nodded at doctor Ron respectfully.

Athena understood that Ron might be the one in charge of the pack hospital. Ron nodded back at him

before looking at Athena with a soft and calm look.

Athena was ready with a frown once again, ready to hear the same thing from him.

"You can’t meet alpha"

"Hello, Luna.I am sorry on his behalf.He is a new intern and he was worried for Alpha.But I am telling

you, you can go and meet him. You are right, only you have the power to heal him at this moment.We

did what we could do." Ron said with an encouraging smile while moving away from Athena’s away.

He even pulled the intern away with him, making way for Athena to go to Dominic Athena looked at him

in shock and confusion

"What do you mean?" She asked with a small frown.

She was confused after hearing different things for the first time.

"His wolf needs healing and no one else but you can help him.Please help our alpha in healing.We will

give you privacy Call us if something happens.Thank you." Ron said in a very mature and smart tone

with a small smile.

His posture was very controlled as well.She was feeling more guilty for her behaviour now.

"I am sorry, Luna."

The previous doctor said in an apologetic tone and with a small nod.

She couldn’t say anything to them but just when they were going to leave the room, Athena stopped

doctor Ron.

"Wait, doctor Ron…" She called in an unstable tone while looking really guilty.

"Yes, Luna?" Ron responded with a small smile.

She let out a sigh before looking at him.

"I am sorry for the way I behaved with you last night.I was scared and was not in the right state of my

mind."

She apologised in a very sincere tone.She looked at him in the eyes to show she meant her words.

"It’s okay, Luna.I understand.I am glad you brought him here at the right time otherwise things could

have gone more wrong.And thank you for threatening me with my life.My love for my life made me work

harder to do my work properly."

He joked to make the environment a little lighter.

Athena smiled a little after hearing the joke before looking at him with a grateful smile.

"Thank you, Ron." She thanked him and he returned the smile back to her.

"I will be around if you need me.Please stay strong."

He said with a small smile before walking out of the room, not prolonging the conversation any more

and giving her time to share the moment with Dominic.

After they both left while closing the door behind them, it was only both of them now.

There was no sound other than their heartbeats and the sound made by the machine.

Unlike every time, their heartbeats weren’t synced this time.

His heart was beating slower than her.

That showed how weak his heart was… That made her feel sadder as she took slow steps toward him.

Her leg was wobbling but she caught a hold of herself at the right time and kneeled down in front of his

bed.

She looked at him in the face.

His face didn’t have his usual frown on his face nor the cold look.

It was just calm.

As calm as his favourite lake.

Just like the calm lake, his calm face was saddening as well.It was breaking his heart.

"How c… could you?" She asked in a broken tone.

The tears she was trying hard to block blurred her vision.

She couldn’t see properly.

But she still didn’t let those tears fall.

"How could you be so cruel? How could you do this to me?" She asked but this time she couldn’t hold

the tears anymore.

They rolled down her cheeks as he cried out while holding his cold hand.

His lifeless hand.

"Didn’t you say that you are going to work hard to win my heart? Didn’t you say that you are going to

fight for me, fight for Ace, fight for us? Then how could you not fight for yourself? Why didn’t you fight

the silver? How could you fail in this?" She asked while shaking his hand hard.

The tears were unstoppable after that.

Her thoughts were making her too crazy as she struggled in voicing them in front of him.

What’s the point? Was he going to understand her? Or hear her, reply to her? No, but she was going to

feel a lot better.

"Answer me! Why are you quiet?! I need answers, goddamn it, Dominic! I want you to talk to me.The

last time we were fighting! I don’t want that as a memory when you are in a coma! Get up and talk to

me properly so that I can hang on.Wake up!"

She shouted while crying.She dropped her head on his chest and continued to cry.She cried her heart

out with the rhythm of his slowly beating heart.She raised her head after a few seconds and looked up

at him again.She wiped her tears away which was fruitless a s more tears kept coming down.

"I… I have so much to tell you.I have so much to share with you.Please don’t make me regret my

decision of not sharing those things with you before.I can’t go on one day with regret.Any small regret

makes my day a living hell.Wake up, listen to what I have to say and free me from this guilt.Please."

She begged.

She had a lot to say but didn’t know where to start.She also didn’t want to say all these precious things

when he was in a coma.But she couldn’t keep them inside her as well.So, she badly needed him to get

up.

"I want to tell you so much.I want to tell you that I am ready to give us a chance for real.I want to tell

you that I am ready to tell Ace about you.I want to tell you that Ace couldn’t get a better father than

you.I want to tell you that I… trust you, Dominic.I want t o tell you so much."

She whispered near his ear while dropping a kiss on his forehead.She wiped away the tears which fell

on his face before chuckling through tears.

The chuckle was filled with emptiness and was void of any emotions or humour.

"Isn’t that funny? Before we couldn’t pass a day without fighting and hardly talked properly, and now I

am blabbering non stop When I was in front of you, ready to give my everything to you, you rejected

me.When you were ready to give the world to me, I pushed you away.Moon goddess must be

punishing us."

She said in an empty tone while looking at the blank space in front of her blankly. She didn’t know what

else to think of this.She wanted to blame someone to feel better and at that moment, the moon

goddess was the easy target She knew she was wrong but she didn’t know what else to do.

Her back was touching the wall.

"Don’t say this, Athena."

A broken voice from the door pulled her away from her thoughts and she looked at the door.

The tears she stopped from flowing a few seconds ago, starting rolling down her cheeks again, without

her permission as she stood up and ran toward the person standing at the door with open arms.

"Suzanne… Suzanne!"

She exclaimed in relief and the next moment in pain as she hugged her.

Suzanne hugged her back and they both stayed in each other’s embrace

"Oh my, Athena!" Suzanne exclaimed as she cried softly along with her as well.

"Suzanne, see, he is not waking up. They are saying he went into a coma."

Athena cried like a baby.

Suzanne was the only one on whom she could rely on and she was grateful to the moon goddess for

sending Suzanne in her life.

"Shh… Calm down, Athena.Yes, I have heard it.Please don’t cry.We need to stay strong in such

moments.You need to stay strong for him, for Ace, for us, for the pack." Suzanne said while slowly

pulling her away from the hug and cupping her face.

She looked at her in the eyes as she said those words.She wanted Athena to hear her words and

understand what she was saying.

"I can’t… I can’t, Suzanne." Athena cried, almost breaking down once again.

"No, Athena.You can.Trust me.You can.You have to do this.You have to make him proud.You can do

this, Athena.Tell me you can do it."

Suzanne made her look in the eyes and said in a hard tone.

But Athena still wasn’t ready for this as she shook her head negatively, not ready to hear anything.

"I… I can do it…"

She mumbled out while looking down.

"We are with you in this, Athena."

Nathan’s voice from the door made them look at the door as Nathan and Justin walked inside the room

with confidence and determination on their face.

"You are not alone in this, Athena." Justin said in a serious tone.

Their words and confidence were slowly getting on her and she started to calm down slowly.

"But…"

She still had the major thing on her shoulder which she didn’t know how to face.

"But, what?" Suzanne asked with a small frown.

Athena’s face fell at the question.

"How am I going to tell Ace that his superhero-…"

She had just started to share her problem with them when she was stopped "Mommy?"
