Chapter 142


    142 Griffin


    I had mindlinked the pack doctor on duty to go check up on A. Exining what had happened.


    He let me know he would be going over to her in ten minutes. Then I called Jay and Tessie to let


    them know. Even if they knew better than to get too much hope from this. I could hear the relief in


    their voices. It was a good sign and we all appreciated it. Next I mindlinked, all of our close friends


    and family in the pack. So all of them would know too.


    Then I rushed to our personal chambers. Krystel had brought the framed picture over. The bigger


    copy of the picture I found in the forest that day. Without thinking about it, I took out my drill and


    hung up the picture. Above our couch, above the spot where I pictured us all snuggled up. I had


    avoideding home and looking at pictures of A for that matter. It reminded me of the future we


    were nning and how unsure it had be. That same future suddenly did not feel so impossible


    and unsure anymore.


    Next, I started on the dough for the Snickerdoodle cookies and turned on the oven so it could


    preheat. By the time my dough was done, the oven was hot enough so I ttened my cookies rolled


    them in the sugar cin namon mix, and popped them into the oven as I made myself a quick


    sandwich. Ten minutester, the cookies are done and I set the tray on the stove to cool down.


    Then I take a quick shower, followed by a short forty-five-minute nap.


    Dillion was right, I did feel better and I had to admit I smelled better too. Before packing up the


    cookies, I mindlinked Dillion if everything was okay.


    “Yes, nothing much has changed, I feel she looks more peaceful, but that could be on me though.”


    He tells me, and I choose to believe it is

    on him.


    I am already feeling so happy, with the fact that she squeezed my hand. That I need to be careful


    and still protect my heart a little bit. Only when she has opened her eyes and talked to me, I can be


    sure she will make it out okay. After I have carefully wrapped up the cookies, I look at the clock to


    see I have been gone for two hours. I promised her I would be back in two-and-half hours tops.


    Meaning, I need to rush to make sure I won’t break my promise.


    Cookies,

    “Griff, nothing is wrong but you need to hurry here” Dillion’s face. sounds happy, ted even when


    he mindlinks me.


    I was already at the hospital, so now I just ran through the hallways, storming into A’s room.


    “Ever since she squeezed your hand, she seems to be more lively. The doc. even said she had


    brain activity in parts of her brain where she didn’t have any since she was in aa. And now she


    is trying to say something but I don’t understand any of it” Dillion rushed to say, taking my stuff from


    me so I can sit next to A.


    “What is it Darling, I am here now you can talk to me?” I say, stroking


    her cheek.


    Her face seems to rx like my touch is soothing. She doesn’t speak for a while as I sit there


    silently stroking her cheek. All this time I have. been telling her about how much I miss her. How


    much I cannot live without her. And while that is still very much true. The moment she


    reacted the most was Krystel talking about work. Dillion being Dillion, asking her to tell me off. So I


    decided to give that a chance.

    I sit back next to her, holding her hand in mine. Telling her about making the cookies, and hanging


    up the picture and it seems to be working. Her eyshes flutter like she is trying to open her eyes.


    Her hand twitches in mine. Dillion sees it too, he whispers his goodbyes. But implores me to keep


    him posted.


    Wanting to keep telling her about casual things, but not having done a lot since she went missing. I


    am struggling with things to tell her. Happy casual things, when I suddenly remembered how my


    human. gaming friends had asked to meet up with me.


    “So my gamer friends missed me, I stopped gaming for a little bit since you know what? Anyway, I


    told them my fiancé was ill. They send you their best and they want to meet with both of us when


    you are feeling better. I know this is more my thing but if you join me we could always go to the


    bookstore after” I started talking about simpler things because it seemed to help A.


    To


    Now I was smiling too. Maybe she was on to something, maybe I should not focus on everything


    that went wrong. But focus on all the things we still have.


    “Help me….”


    “Don’t know”


    “Love him”


    She started mumbling moving her hands, for the first time since Iid her down here in this bed she


    now seemed like she was dreaming. Suddenly I smelled her blood and I panicked before I saw what


    was the cause. With moving around so much she had pulled her IV out. The oxygen machine was


    beeping two. Causing the doctors to rush in.

    “Can you tell us what happened, Alpha?” Doctor Paul asked me.


    “You know how earlier today she seemed to be responding to us. Dillion said she seemed to be


    wanting to speak since I got back from resting. Ever since I sat here talking to me, she suddenly


    started moving around. And it caused her to rip the IV out.”


    The doctors nod and they get to work on A. Nobody tells me to leave the room so I just stand


    back. Not wanting to get in the way of the doctors. But wanting to be in the room on the off chance


    she would wake up now. Watching doctors checking her pulse, and her lungs, shining a small light


    in her eyes was terrifying. It reminded me of when she was first taken in at the BloodMoon pack


    when we had no idea if she would even make it or not..


    Soon, two doctors walked out of the room, and Doctor Paul stayed behind to talk to me.


    “She is getting more active and it means that we need to take her off the life support. It will be


    dangerous if she identally rips them out again. Especially the oxygen tube. And it doesn’t seem


    like she needs. it anymore but it is a risk. So ultimately it is up to you.” He tells me.


    It is a scary decision to make because both could end up being fatal for A. Not choosing could


    also be fatal. It felt like I was deciding if I believed her to be strong enough or not. And that made


    my decision a bit easier.


    “You can take her off life support, I am sure she can manage on her own,” I tell the doctor and he


    immediately goes to work..


    ro


    Telling me, the next three days are going to be crucial. Then he walks off, leaving me alone in the


    room with A. Before I can ask him my final question.


    “I know you don’t like it when I talk about missing you. But I do you

    know, it drives me crazy. So I decided to take this as a sign that you are making your way back to


    me, darling. I’ll go talk to the doctor to see if this means I get to bring you home now?” I tell her


    before walking off and finding the doctor again.
