My Second Chance novel Chapter 19

Sapphire's P.O.V

"This isn't funny Ryder." I smacked his muscular arm. He made no response. "Argghhh!" I groaned in frustration. I have been trying to pry Ryder's arm off my waist for about ten minutes. Yeah bitches, ten whole fucking minutes. "Ryder..." I whined, shaking his arm. He didn't even stir. His arm still held me in a possessive grip. I growled under my breath.

I grabbed half a glass of water I left on the bedside table. Without thinking twice, I splashed the water on him. He kept on sleeping like a log.

"Ryder?" Worry was starting to seep into my voice. "Ryder?" I asked worriedly, cupping his cheeks softly. He didn't answer and panic started to kick in. There's something wrong... Gwen said worriedly. I know. You think I don't know that? I growled. She whimpered. "Ryder? What's wrong? Answer me!" I growled, shaking him violently. I used my demon power to lift his arm. Yeah, That's how tight his grip was. "Ryder!" I slapped his right cheek. He kept on sleeping. Is he dead? OMG OMG... Gwen panicked. Shut up, I snapped. He was still breathing steadily, so he's not dead. I internally smacked myself. Really? Sapphire? You actually thought he was dead? Well, fuck. That shows my overreacting.

"Cole? Alec? Clover!" I yelled on top of my voice, hoping that they would somehow pick up my voice with their wolf hearing. I'm surprised I didn't wake the whole pack house. Oh right, I glanced at the table clock. It's already 10 in the morning. Isn't Ryder late for his chores already?

"Sapphire?" I heated Clover's soft voice that accompanied with knocking. "Just open the damn door and help me." I growled. Clover opened the door softly and stuck her head in. "Umm... The Alpha's room is actually restricted to-" I cut her off. "And I don't fucking care. Now go get Cole or Alex. Please, quickly." I pleaded her. She nodded and slipped out of the room again. Wait, Why was Clover's eyes red? I just noticed that. I groaned. What a nice friend I am. She has been crying and I just snapped at her.

"What's wrong?" Alec and Cole appeared at the room door in less than a minute. "Thank God. There's something wrong with Ryder." I looked at them with scared eyes.

They rushed to his side as if they knew what was going on. "It's getting worse." Cole mumbled. "I thought he had another week." Alec ran a hand through his hair. "What time did he sleep last night?" Cole faced me. "Around 3 to 4. Why?" I asked in a small voice. Cole cursed. "What's going on?" I growled at them. I'm getting impatient here....
