From Rejected Mate to Luna (Julia White) novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162

Julia’s POV

When I saw Jason carrying my unconscious sister toward the medical center, my heart nearly stopped beating. Sophia’s pale face looked

unnaturally fragile in the sunlight, her photography bag still slung awkwardly across her body, swinging with each of Jason’s hurried

steps.

“What happened?” I rushed forward, medical training automatically taking over as my fingers found Sophia’s pulse.

“Mate bond,” Jason’s voice was tense yet tinged with unmistakable excitement. “She’s my mate, Julia. We met in the garden and then she…

just collapsed.”

Matthew quickly pushed open the glass doors of the medical center, directing Jason to the nearest exam room. “Put her here,” he instructed, his voice calm and commanding, the perfect embodiment of an Alpha in control.

My fingers worked deftly, checking my sister’s vital signs, professional training temporarily setting aside our sibling relationship. “Pulse strong and steady, breathing normal, pupils responsive to light,” I reported, then gently patted Sophia’s cheek. “Sophia? Can you hear

me?”

Her eyelashes fluttered, then slowly opened. She blinked in confusion, her gaze moving from me to Jason, then suddenly widening. ‘Oh my god,” she whispered, voice filled with shock and a hint of panic, “not a dream then.”

lief washed over me. “Thank goodness, just a fainting spell from shock. Let me check your blood pressure to be sure.” I reached for the cuff, confirming her condition. “How do you feel? Dizzy? Nauseous?”

“Like I drank a whole bottle of tequila and then got hit by a train,” Sophia said with a weak smile, “but in a good way? Does that make

sense?”

Jason stood beside the bed, his eyes never leaving Sophia. “Perfect sense,” he responded softly, “The first mate bond is a huge shock to a wolf’s system, especially for newly awakened wolves.”

Matthew stood in the doorway, giving them space while remaining alert. “I’ll let the doctor know you’re here and make sure you have

privacy,” he said, stepping out.

After completing my assessment and confirming Sophia had no real injuries, just the typical mate bond response, I watched the looks exchanged between Jason and Sophia–that mixture of surprise, fear, and deep attraction that reminded me of how I’d felt when first meeting Matthew.

“So you two are fated mates,‘ I stated, feeling a strange sense of relief and joy wash over me. This is… unexpected and yet perfect.”

Sophia sat up, cheeks flushing. I was completely unprepared, Jules. I was just photographing those blue wildflowers, and then he appeared, and everything just… exploded.” Her hand unconsciously reached toward Jason, who immediately took it.

I smiled watching them. ‘I think I should call Mom and tell her her youngest daughter found her mate.”

“Really? Now? Sophia groaned, though her protest lacked conviction, her eyes still occasionally darting toward Jason.

‘Don’t worry, I’ll give you some space,” I squeezed my sister’s shoulder, “but remember, medical center rooms aren’t for dating.” I gave them both a pointed look before leaving.

I walked to the small courtyard of the medical center and sat on a bench, pulling out my phone. Sunlight spilled across the flagstones, a gentle breeze carrying the faint scent from the herb garden. I took a deep breath and dialed my mother’s number.
