My Secret, My Bully, My Mates (skylar) by Miss l Free novel Chapter 490

“Bitty, talk to us, this sh*t is heavy, we need to get him out of there.”

“I can’t see his whole body yet, I don’t want to move him until I know he’s completely free of the structure, get a few more guys to help. Move it slowly.”

“Alpha Lucas, talk to me.” I can feel my aura surfacing. I haven’t felt it in a while, but I also don’t always have control either. Apparently it comes out when I’m super emotional. “Where are you injured, we need to get us both out of here. It’s too dangerous to stay.”

The structure creeks again as it lifts higher, a muffled scream comes from the Alpha and that’s when I see it. “STOP!!! Don’t move, I need help under here, we have a problem.”

Cam and Kota crawl under with me and they both curse at the large plank of wood sticking out of his side. Kota goes to move it.

“NO! Don’t touch it. If the wound is not bleeding, it’s probably the only thing keeping him alive right now. I don’t see anything wrong with his legs, so I think we can try to slide him out once we make sure the plank is free from the structure. You need to call for healers, I can’t talk to the pack right now. Alpha, this is going to hurt a lot but we have to move you okay?”

I am using every ounce of training I have had with the Elite Warriors now to give directions to the twins where to hold him and trying to jostle him as little as possible we move him out from under the structure and a safe distance away. I can see Gamma Brett wrestling a frantic Luna Ava out of the corner of my eye. When he sees us clear of the structure he lets her run to us.

She drops down onto her knees next to his face, tears streaming down her face. “We need to remove it so he can heal!” She’s shouting at no one in particular.

“Luna, we have to wait for healers. We don’t want to do any more damage.” Brett is trying to console her. I don’t think anyone else knows what to do or say.

Oliver is next to me on one side, Cam and Kota on the other, Sam and Mateo are behind me. I think there is commotion going on around us, but, like Luna Ava, I only have eyes for the Alpha.

He was always such a big strong man. His happy presence lit up a room. He is tough but fair and kind. He would always listen more than he would give advice. But, right now he seems small, like a fraction of his former self. I reach for his hand and squeeze. He jolts at the contact, but I don’t care about whatever spell is on them to not touch me. I hold tighter, letting my aura do its thing, it seems to have a mind of its own anyway.

I don’t want to mess anything up so I don’t want to try and force him to heal, so I focus more on comforting thoughts, limiting the pain. Luna Ava leans over and lays on his chest, sobbing. I know that through the mate bond you can feel when your mate is in danger or seriously hurt, but I wonder if she can feel his actual pain or just that he’s injured.

***”Thank you. I’ll check in as soon as I can and we can debrief at the house later.”***

His eyes are closed the whole way to the hospital and his breathing is labored, but his grip is strong and steady. I just focus any healing energy towards him. I have no idea what I’m doing, but I figure the intention is what matters.

We get to the hospital and unload him, none of us fighting the grip he has on Luna Ava and I anymore. He’s wheeled into a room and they get to work removing his clothes and assessing any external damage quickly. I move back near his head, taking his arm as far as I can with me without stretching the muscle around the massive piece of wood in the wound.

“Alpha, we need to remove this wood, now, you need to release your hold on the Luna and Beta. I promise they will be here when you return.” An older healer is using her most patient ‘mom voice.’

I tried to pry his fingers again. He fights, but eventually lets me go. Then Luna Ave leans forward to give him a gentle kiss and he finally lets her go too. The healers use this opportunity to rush him out of the room and to surgery, I assume. Luna Ava sinks into a chair in the corner. She looks so sad and broken, but I probably would be too if it was my mate in danger and there was literally nothing I could do to help.
